    The Function of the Doxa in Roland Barthes by Roland Barthes

    Always, there is a Doxa in society, which represents a trend, a way majority of people follow. At that moment, people would consider the Doxa is also a truth naturally.

    Always, there is a Doxa in society, which represents a trend, a way majority of people follow. At that moment, people would consider the Doxa is also a truth naturally. However, at the same moment, most of them ignore there are other opinions in the society. Furthermore, these opinions are usually bullied by the Doxa, because 「the grim notion that true violence is that of the self-evident…」 (Roland Barthes by Roland Barthes 85). Under the Doxa, other opinions would not be noticed. Nevertheless, the content of the Doxa is not always the same, which means the main opinion in the society is not unvarying, but changing.

Ravishing of Lol Stein By Marguerite Duras
  • Healing Processes in The Ravishing of Lol Stein

    When people face the mentally critical strikes, our body will start the means of protection. One of these means is “forget.” We call this process forget, however, it is different to the original definition of forget.

    When people face the mentally critical strikes, our body will start the means of protection. One of these means is “forget.” We call this process forget, however, it is different to the original definition of forget. In this time, being more specific, the process is controlled by our brain which asks ourselves forcibly to forget the critical strikes. On the other hand, it is also the way to escape, escape from things which our brain considers they are harmful, or even fatal to us. In The Ravishing of Lol Stein, Lol confronts the situation which makes her collapse, at this moment, her body switches on this mean of protection, making her lose the memory of that period (The Ravishing of Lol Stein 12). But, the trauma is not erased; it is still there, in the depths of our consciousness. We are always trying to ease it, so we will have some motions which we think they are meaningless, however, they have the meaning for our subconsciousness indeed: healing.

    During our daily life, when we put our attention on one object, we usually will ignore other objects around the one we focus on. This is also one function of the camera, which can just focus on what photographer want, it can be a flower, a cup, a pencil, or anything. It depends on the photographer. On the other hand, the object which is captured does not have the right to make decisions. In Jealousy, from line to line, readers will discovered that our eyesight is leaded by the narrator, the narrator takes us to see what he wants to share with us. It is normal for readers that the narrator shows us his observation around himself in many fictions; nevertheless, the camera lens in Jealousy give readers some feeling which we will consider it is not only the observation but the state of obstinacy.

    Generally, when we read books or papers, we don't doubt whether it's true or not but just following the paragraph. When we admire paintings or photographs, we don't consider what artists thinking but just looking at pictures. These are what Roquentin does in Nausea at first: finding lots information and then being a well done historian. However, he gradually discovers those data what he collected before is not enough to be believed, such as the historic books and paintings. A significant factor makes Roquentin being amazed and confused is those he believed before are not first-hand facts but the second-hand.
