Introduction Through exploration of spatial histories, it is evident that architecture habitually materialises and epitomizes the configurations of power, including racialized power (Brown, 2019). This is executed by creating built opportunities for racism to exercise itself, in this case, through the American and South African built environment. Hence, at the core of the publicised signage that delineate boundaries between black and white space, coloured waiting rooms and separate water fountains of the Jim Crow Era, is American architectural form that...

Thinkers like Bentham believe in an ethical theory rooted in an empiricist account of human nature. Bentham’s ethics reflects what he calls “the greatest happiness principle,” where he implies that ethics reflects the moral obligation to seek out what produces the greatest amount of happiness for the greatest number of people. This thinking...

Despite Singer overshooting his argument, we should value the livelihood of the poor because prosperous nations have grown too accustomed to...

This condition meant that many slaves met from different dialects, thus making communication amongst themselves a problem. As a result, they...

Sophie Mol, a clear metaphor of British powers, arrives at Ayemenem with the obsession of ‘taming’ the east, which is portrayed as inferior and backward. Her drowning and subsequent death are thus symbolic of the British Empire’s eventual failure to exert...

Introduction to the Symbolism of the River Bennett explains in his article that Siddhartha “focuses most specifically on three principal themes, the nature of the self, the nature of knowledge, and the essential unity of all things.” This novel is important because Siddhartha “follows his own personal path instead of just following the Buddha's or anyone else’s doctrines,” (Bennet 1). While Hesse’s novel mostly focuses “on various Hindu or Buddhist principles,” it also focuses on “symbolic lyricism,” (...) (what’s missing...
