The word “heart†appears in one way and another in readings in Weeks 1 and 2.
1.Consider how the idea of the heart is important in each of the readings and the films for the week (don’t just rely on the titles; “heart†is an important concept in at least one reading that does not mention the word ‘heart’ in the title), and, now that you have finished DisciplinedHearts,
2. put all these “heart” readings in conversation with each other : In other words, even though they may not refer to each other at all, how do they talk about the same things relating to the heart directly (and indirectly). Analyze the different ways that heart is invoked and conceptualized in relation to self and its relation to emotion. For example, why does O’Nell call her book Disciplined Hearts ? Whatdoes she mean by “disciplined hearts?” How does that compare with the Balinese and their efforts to manage their hearts? With Sugiyama san in Shall We Dance ? What does Rebhun mean by “a heart too full?†Try to teach your colleagues about these readings rather than answering the professor’s assignment.
