Class notes december 2004: Orwell

double voice

counciousness of being in unsustainable psychological position

conflation of experiences
"being surrounded by masses and masses of people" counciousness of being diffeeent from crowd, fear of being laughed at, having power over these power (you stand in for colonial power whatever your individual beliefs, that you hate in yourself, imperialist injustice that your living)

no one is innocent

fanon: colonialism is pure violence, it can only be met/countered by pure violence

fiction that you can be detached but your implicated anyway: the penal colony of Kafka

westerner export leasure to colonies

shame and fear of being laughed at, not respected

radical that goes halfway

humanize "encouter with the enemy"

turning yourself into a master in a way that makes you unconfortable

how we are destroying the cultures we are "saving"
