Question

A Merve Emre book jokingly examines “bad” performers of this (-5[2])activity as defined in lectures given in the 1950s at Cornell. Norman Holland’s study of laughter applied a theory named for performers of this activity, who form communities bound by cultural assumptions according to Stanley (-5[1])Fish. (15[1]-5[1])Performers of this (15[1])activity are the subject of an “affective (-5[1])fallacy” often (-5[1])opposed (-5[1])to another group’s “intentional fallacy.” Viktor Shklovsky analyzed how this activity results in new perspectives (-5[1])through a process of (*) defamiliarization. Samuel Taylor Coleridge theorized that unlikely occurrences encountered during this activity are accepted via a“suspension of disbelief.” (10[3]-5[1])A book (-5[1])on how to (10[1])perform this activity (-5[2])like a professor by Thomas (-5[2])Foster explains its“close” form. For 10 points, name (10[2])this activity done to enjoy the (10[1])work of Herman Melville. ■END■ (10[3])
