Retreat From The Global (2 Viewers)

[tieki]

Hey everyone doing Castle/SN/Heaney! Join the "We hate RFTG" club. Has anyone else survived the year without reading the entire Shipping News?

 

[babydoll_]

I've read it several times, sorry!

 

[tieki]

No wonder I'm doing crap...lol

 

[CHUDYMASTER]

I can proudly say I've not read Shipping News!! God I've got my trials in 2 days and I don't even have another related text! arg RTFG suckles...especially Heaney.

They keep telling us not to simplify things down to local-good global-bad but it's generally hard to separate em if you ask me!

 

[tieki]

Yeah, I did surprisingly well in trials for hardly knowing any texts...got 35 and 38 out of 50, which is very good for me...

Heaney has perhaps the most important and relevant statements in regard to RFTG, such as the necessity of a hybrid identity that is found through a post colonial journey for a collective Irish identity (SH retreats to other locals to compare a pagan past with the secular present) - this is shown in Funeral Rights.

Hey guys, I'm new here but also doing rftg.
Just wondering about your related texts - does anyone have one that is not a film?!?!?!?!? i'm going crazy trying to find one..

 

[Rahul]

yeh they are hard to come by...
umm i dont know if this will help, but try downloading some rftg stuff from bos, and try to find out the names of some of the related materials they use.

i used an article, but you wont find it on the net, i have tried.

Hey do any of you guys watch Futurama?

Cos there was an episode I would like to use, but I'm not sure if it's RFTG-y...

PLus, is it a bad idea to use two visual texts? I plan to use that Futurama episode, plus "fight Club"... but theyre both visual, so is that bad..?

 

[Rahul]

Fight Club is what i am doing, its a fantastic film!

 

[babydoll_]
