Chris Murray Romanticism
Australia
Registrace 26. 09. 2022
I teach Romanticism and related literature at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. I was born in Dublin and educated in Ireland and the UK. Before coming to Australia I worked at universities in Singapore and in the UK.
During the pandemic lockdowns I started making video lectures for my students. I couldn't bear the idea of reading a script over slides, so I integrated stock footage, graphics, and soundtrack using materials available free online. In particular I've made use of footage from Pexels, Coverr, and Videvo, icons from ClearPNG and FlatIcon, and music from Mixkit. The videos were intended to be watched as preparation for 2-hour tutorials in which students would workshop the main ideas.
The videos are often rough around the edges because (1) I'm a literature academic making lectures on his phone, and (2) they were initially conceived as temporary replacements for in-person teaching during the pandemic.

The Aisling 1: introducing the form
With some terminology as Gaeilge, this video mentions traits of the Aisling, the vision voyage. My pronunciation is modern, standard Irish as learned in Leinster (although there is no Cúige Laighean dialect as such anymore).
The video makes use of Heaney's translation of 'Gile na Gile'; in class I ask students to compare with Brian O'Connor's online text: irexels, ishlitsoc.org/gile-na-gile/. Includes music by Serge Quadrado and a performance of 'The Churchyard at Creggan' on the uileann pipes by by Seamus Ennis, footage from Vecteezy, and Shutterstock, and icons from FlatIcon.

An Irish literary canon?
zhlédnutí 3Před 3 měsíci

Shelley actually wrote an operatic libretto -- near .iss: Beethoven "Creatures of Promethias. "
Leibniz was an epic douchepocket
Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for this. I had trouble understanding pengloss.
Hello, professor, I'm just confused about something. Aren't the neoclassical poets the ones who glorified or payed great attention to the ancient Greeks and Romans in their poems and style?
Why are my favorite books all like this? Vathek. The Decameron. The Saragossa Manuscript. At Swim-Two-Birds.

Thanks from Sweden.
amazing video, amazing channel! I'm sad I've discovered this channel so late
Thanks a lot this helped a lot to understand more the context of the 3rd canto
interesting video! glad i stumbled upon it i hope you have a great rest of the term
Wonderful comments but put off by background music
These 3 videos on Christabel were great. I learned so much more about the poem I didn't know before. This will make re-readings of the poem much more interesting.
Imagine being in 1816 and hearing the townsfolk be like (modern English approximation): “Oh my god, Byron just dropped the third canto of Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage! We should binge-read it together”
Thank you for an interesting insight!
He was a controversial character!
