ThAct: Research and Writing

1. Opinion on Research Approach:
Research need not always aim for entirely new creativity. It is equally valuable to pursue existing directions, offering deeper understanding. My dissertation falls into the latter category, exploring psychological depth in Mrs. Dalloway and Ulysses through stream of consciousness, building upon existing studies.

2. Paraphrase of Passage by Sullivan:
It is unhelpful to separate any artistic form or movement from its predecessors and related influences. Such separation creates a narrow view, as critics disconnect practices from the contexts shaping them. While this seems self-evident, reaffirming basic truths is essential in times of change. When something "new" appears, we often mistakenly isolate it from the contexts that shape it. To analyze electronic literature, we must consider its literary and sensory aspects. Critical understanding requires reference points and acknowledgment of past works to overcome limitations. The best approach is to build on existing foundations and highlight significant elements for further exploration.

Questions:

  1. The paraphrase is approximately the same length.
  2. No part is copied word for word.
  3. The paraphrase retains the same meaning as the original passage.

3. Full Form of CIS and Library Search Techniques:
CIS stands for Computerized Information System. Some search methods include:

  • Keyword Search: Using specific terms or phrases.
  • Subject Search: Focusing on topics or disciplines.
  • Boolean Search: Combining terms with operators like AND, OR, NOT.
  • Advanced Search: Filters like date, author, or publication type.
  • Cross-Referencing: Linking related works or citations.
