How Fiction Shapes Us
Nov 25, 2012一本好的小说可以做很多事情。它能使我们从日常生活的单调中解脱出来,激发我们的想象力,并以其对语言的创造性运用使我们愉悦。
In honor of 5/4, Star Wars Day, we're taking a deeper look at the paradox of the Force inStar Wars.Eduardo Perez, an Assistant Professor of English, examines the paradox of the Force in George Lucas'Star Warsuniverse.
The Force, it is claimed, must be balanced—yet this is not quite the case. The balance of the Force is in direct contradiction to the desire for the good guys to win.
有没有一种方法可以同时满足这两种需求?

Despite the crass commercialism that drives the production of many movies, there's no doubt that film is a distinctive and distinctively powerful art form.
Philosophers think a lot about fiction. But do novelists think about philosophy? Do philosophers make good fictional characters?

I suppose the force (andI suppose the force (and balance thereof) are subject to some variation in the laws of physics, as we know them in our universe, "nearer to now, and pretty close to home". I know it is only the movies and science fiction and all, and this post is probably a playful rendering, asking how Hollywood might have done things better. But, since we cannot KNOW the state of physics affairs in that galaxy, long ago and far, far away, what the franchise may or may not do to satisfy the 'balance of the force' is even more speculative than how the force itself worked in the first place. This is all just fun, isn't it? Oh well, inasmuch as we have a national hot dog day, we may as well have a day for Star Wars, force or no force.
