MIT_804_Quantum_Physics_I_Spring_2016 | Resonances_in_the_complex_k_plane.txt | PROFESSOR: So I want to go a little further to try to put resonances in a more intriguing footing. That you can play with and if you-- at some point interested. So let's think of discovering [INAUDIBLE] that we have. We had A s-- remember the scattered wave was A s e to the ikx [INAUDIBLE] that divided 2. And what was ... |
MIT_804_Quantum_Physics_I_Spring_2016 | Stationary_states_key_equations.txt | PROFESSOR: We start with the stationary states. In fact, stationary states are going to keep us quite busy for probably a couple of weeks. Because it's a place where you get the intuition about solving Schrodinger's equation. So the stationary states are simple and useful solutions of the Schrodinger equation, very nic... |
MIT_804_Quantum_Physics_I_Spring_2016 | Reality_condition_in_Fourier_transforms.txt | PROFESSOR: We ask, is psi of x, 0 real? And I told you the answer is no. And how would I know that this is not real? Well, we can take the complex conjugate. And at the end of the day, this will boil down to some property of phi of k. You see, you have an expression phi of x in terms of phi of k. So it would not be sur... |
MIT_804_Quantum_Physics_I_Spring_2016 | Expectation_values_of_operators.txt | PROFESSOR: Expectation values of operators. So this is, in a sense, one of our first steps that we're going to take towards the interpretation of quantum mechanics. We've had already that the wave function tells you about probabilities. But that's not quite enough to have the full interpretation of what we're doing. So... |
MIT_804_Quantum_Physics_I_Spring_2016 | Incident_packet_and_delay_for_reflection.txt | PROFESSOR: I'll begin by reviewing quickly what we did last time. We considered what are called finite range potentials, in which over a distance R, in the x-axis, there's a non-zero potential. So the potential is some v of x for x between capital R and 0, is equal to 0 for x larger than capital R, and it's infinity fo... |
MIT_804_Quantum_Physics_I_Spring_2016 | More_on_superposition_General_state_of_a_photon_and_spin_states.txt | We spoke about superposition, and we showed how, when you have two states that are superimposed, the resulting state that is built up doesn't have properties that are intermediate between the two states that you're superimposing. But rather, when you do a measurement, you obtain the result that you would sometimes-- yo... |
MIT_804_Quantum_Physics_I_Spring_2016 | Probability_current_and_current_conservation.txt | BARTON ZWIEBACH: After this long detour, you must think that one is just trying to avoid doing the real computation, so here comes, the real computation. The real computation is taking that right hand side on the top of the blackboard and trying to just calculate this right hand side. So back to the calculation. The ca... |

Literature_Lectures | 9_Jack_Kerouac_On_the_Road_cont.txt | Professor Amy Hungerford: All right. I've put two quotations on the board for your consideration. The first is from Norman Mailer. This is from Advertisements for Myself. He says, "Jack Kerouac lacks discipline, intelligence, honesty, and a sense of the novel." Of course, some people might apply those adjectives to Mai... |

Moving then as quickly as possible into our subject matter for today, we begin a series of lectures on various aspects of twentieth-century formalism-- a big word.

Literature_Lectures | 5_Vladimir_Nabokov_Lolita.txt | Professor Amy Hungerford: Last time I finished up my lectures on Wise Blood by trying to draw together three different ways of reading the novel into one interpretative framework, and what I ultimately argued was that the New Critical formal unity of the novel that is epitomized, I think (in a somewhat, perhaps, heavy-... |
Literature_Lectures | 25_Students_Choice_Novel_Jonathan_Safran_Foer_Everything_is_Illuminated_cont.txt | Professor Amy Hungerford: The exercise of inviting you to choose our last novel, as I think I explained in the very first class of this term, is an exercise in thinking together about what defines a period of literature. So, for all the other books in the syllabus, I came with my rationale for why I included them, and ... |

Knowing the name of something gives one power and control over th... |
Literature_Lectures | Lecture_22_The_Restoration_1_and_2_Chronicles_Ezra_and_Nehemiah.txt | Professor Christine Hayes: Last time we started looking at the psalms and a number of different genres or forms in which the psalms appear.

Literature_Lectures | 2_Richard_Wright_Black_Boy.txt | Professor Amy Hungerford: I just want to recap what I talked about last time very briefly.

Literature_Lectures | 21_Philip_Roth_The_Human_Stain_cont.txt | Professor Amy Hungerford: All right. So, today I'm going to give my second and final lecture on The Human Stain.

Literature_Lectures | Lecture_5_Critical_Approaches_to_the_Bible_Introduction_to_Genesis_1250.txt | Professor Christine Hayes: We were talking last time about evidence of the use of different sources in the biblical text, and I mentioned Richard Simon, who was the first to argue that perhaps Moses wasn't the author of the entire Torah. In the mid-eighteenth century a fellow named Jean Astruc first noticed the use of ... |
Literature_Lectures | 26_Reflections_Who_Doesnt_Hate_Theory_Now.txt | Prof: Well, last time we saved theory from the clutches of Knapp and Michaels, and we did so by saying that there really is a difference between language and speech.

Literature_Lectures | Lecture_20_Responses_to_Suffering_and_Evil_Lamentations_and_Wisdom_Literature.txt | Professor Christine Hayes: When Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon burned the temple and destroyed Jerusalem, the initial reaction was one of overwhelming grief and sadness, and that's represented primarily in the Book of Lamentations.

Literature_Lectures | Linguistics_Style_and_Writing_in_the_21st_Century_with_Steven_Pinker.txt | Why is so much writing so bad? Why do we have to struggle with so much legalese? As in, "The revocation by these Regulations of a provision previously revoked subject to savings does not affect the continued operations." Why do we put up with academese?

Literature_Lectures | 19_The_New_Historicism.txt | Prof: So today we turn to a mode of doing literary criticism which was extraordinarily widespread beginning in the late seventies and into the eighties, called the New Historicism.

What was the meaning of this event and how could it be reconciled with the concept of Israel as God's elec... |
Literature_Lectures | Lecture_15_Hebrew_Prophecy_The_NonLiterary_Prophets.txt | Professor Christine Hayes: So we were talking last time about the Deuteronomistic historian and their interpretation of the events that befell Israel, a very special interpretation that would make it possible for Israel to remain intact after the destruction of the state, the temple and the national basis of their soci... |
Literature_Lectures | 18_The_Political_Unconscious.txt | Prof: Well, I'd like to begin by pointing out that the first name of Fredric Jameson is spelled F-r-e-d-r-i-c. The reason I point that out is that most scholars don't seem to be able to grasp that simple fact and that references to him, which are rife in the critical literature, perhaps one-third of the time spell his ... |
Literature_Lectures | Lecture_10_Biblical_Law_The_Three_Legal_Corpora_of_JE_Exodus_P_Leviticus_and_Numbers_and_D.txt | Professor Christine Hayes: So as we saw last week, before we stopped to talk about the priestly materials and the Holiness Code--as we saw last week, the covenant ceremony at Sinai included God's announcement of and Israel's agreement to certain covenantal stipulations. So Exodus 24:3 and 4, describe this agreement as ... |
Literature_Lectures | Lecture_3_The_Hebrew_Bible_in_Its_Ancient_Near_Eastern_Setting_Genesis_14_in_Context.txt | Professor Christine Hayes: Today what I'd like to do is begin our survey of Genesis 1 through 11, in order to illustrate the way that biblical writers--and precisely who we think they were and when they lived is something we'll talk about later--but the way biblical writers drew upon the cultural and religious legacy o... |

Literature_Lectures | 12_Thomas_Pynchon_The_Crying_of_Lot_49.txt | Professor Amy Hungerford: Before launching into Pynchon today, I thought I would just take a few moments to look back over the books that we've read and talk about the visions of language that they have offered us, and also just to reflect for a moment on the relationship imagined between those visions of language and ... |

In the two lectures that I have planned, I'm going to take up fairly abstract questions, because I think this novel, for all its wealth of detail, calls for an address to these couple of questions. And ... |
Literature_Lectures | 4_Flannery_OConnor_Wise_Blood_cont.txt | Professor Amy Hungerford: I started last time, and actually my whole lecture existed under the rubric of, this quotation from Sabbath Lily Hawks, and I'm just going to read it to you again.

Literature_Lectures | Lecture_21_Biblical_Poetry_Psalms_and_Song_of_Songs.txt | Professor Christine Hayes: Okay, so having studied Job, we've seen that the Bible is not a book with a single uniform style and message. It's an anthology of diverse works that may have different, conflicting points of view. So the conventional religious piety of Proverbs, the firm belief in a system of divine reward a... |
Literature_Lectures | 17_The_Frankfurt_School_of_Critical_Theory.txt | Prof: As we get into social perspectives on literature and art, you may ask yourself out of idle curiosity, or perhaps even peevishly, "Why Marx? Why so much Marx? Why is it Marx who seems to stand behind the idea that the social criticism of art is the best and most relevant way to approach this subject matter?" Well,... |
Literature_Lectures | 21_AfricanAmerican_Criticism.txt | Prof: So I'm not sure how long this lecture is going to be. We could be finished in ten minutes, though I doubt that, and if we're not finished at the end of the fifty, there are some things that I've reserved for the end of the lecture that I definitely do want to get said. I don't know if you've noticed that there ar... |
Literature_Lectures | 7_Russian_Formalism.txt | Prof: All right. So today we start a sequence which takes us through deconstruction, and it's a sequence which has genuine coherence.

Literature_Lectures | 15_The_Postmodern_Psyche.txt | Prof: So today we're still focused on individual consciousness. "Why?" you might ask.

Therefore we can still understand... |

Literature_Lectures | 9_Linguistics_and_Literature.txt | Prof: Last time I lectured under the illusion that-- I really should get in the habit of looking at the syllabus-- that all you had been assigned for Thursday's lecture was the Saussure. Lo and behold, I did take a glance at the syllabus over the weekend and realized that you'd also been assigned the Levi-Strauss, so w... |
Literature_Lectures | 13_Jacques_Lacan_in_Theory.txt | Prof: Well, I'd really better start. I can infer, I think, from looking around the room that there is either post-paper depression at work or that having written the paper, you scarcely had time to read a fifteen-page labyrinthine essay by Lacan. That's unfortunate, and I hope you're able to make up for it soon. Those ... |

Literature_Lectures | Lecture_1_The_Parts_of_the_Whole.txt | Professor Christine Hayes: You don't need me to tell you that human civilization is very, very old.

Literature_Lectures | Lecture_24_Alternative_Visions_Esther_Ruth_and_Jonah.txt | Professor Christine Hayes: An interesting counterpoint to the apocalyptic literature and the apocalyptic reliance on God's cataclysmic consummation of history in order to dole out justice to the righteous and the wicked, is found in the Book of Esther. And this is a short novella. It's set in fifth-century Persia, it w... |
Literature_Lectures | 16_The_Social_Permeability_of_Reader_and_Text.txt | Prof: So we arrive at our turn to sociogenesis. Genesis is, of course, here obviously--even as we read both Jauss and Bakhtin for today--a misleading term in a certain sense; because obviously, the most egregious difference between Jauss and Bakhtin-- and once again you're probably saying to yourself, "Well, my goodnes... |
Literature_Lectures | ENGL_3328_LECTURE_3B.txt | oh alright thank you for telling me yeah we are back good and so we were talking right before the break about the kind of conflict that that Wordsworth was going through and for him this was a real real real crisis because it not only was a division of loyalties between France in England but also remember that at this ... |

Literature_Lectures | Lecture_4_Doublets_and_Contradictions_Seams_and_Sources.txt | Professor Christine Hayes: So, last time I gave a reading of the creation accounts that are in Genesis 1 to 3. These are two very different stories but their placement side by side suggests the possibility of a joint reading. Nevertheless they are very different in character, and today I want to focus in on the second ... |
Literature_Lectures | Lecture_11_On_the_Steps_of_Moab_Deuteronomy.txt | Professor Christine Hayes: You may have heard that post-biblical tradition hails Moses as ancient Israel's first and greatest law giver; and certainly the Bible depicts Moses as receiving law from God and conveying it to the Israelites. But clearly Moses isn't the author or compiler of the legal traditions contained in... |
Literature_Lectures | 3_Ways_In_and_Out_of_the_Hermeneutic_Circle.txt | Prof: All right. Let's hope we can free our minds of these matters now and turn to something a little more substantive, which is the question--before we plunge in to Gadamer really: what is hermeneutics? Well, what it is is easily enough explained despite the sort of difficulty and thorniness of the word. It is the art... |
Literature_Lectures | Lecture_14_The_Deuteronomistic_History_Response_to_Catastrophe_1_and_2_Kings.txt | Professor Christine Hayes: We were talking last time about the establishment of the monarchy or kingship in Israel and I want to say a little bit about some of the features of Israelite kingship, and today I'll be coming back frequently to the Israelite notions of kingship and royal ideology. But to start off: one of t... |
Literature_Lectures | 17_Cormac_McCarthy_Blood_Meridian.txt | Professor Amy Hungerford: Okay. I'd like to begin. Welcome back. It is good to see you all. It's a bit startling. I don't know where those two weeks went. So, tell me: I asked you to read Blood Meridian over break; was this a happy Spring Break task for you? Was it good "beach reading," as I promised? No? No. I'd like,... |
Literature_Lectures | Lecture_12_The_Deuteronomistic_History_Life_in_the_Land_Joshua_and_Judges.txt | Professor Christine Hayes: I was talking last time about the concept of election or choice, God's choice of Israel, Israel as the chosen one, which occurs for the first time in the Book of Deuteronomy. And I was talking about the fact that for Deuteronomy the election of Israel, God's election of Israel means or entail... |
Literature_Lectures | Lecture_13_The_Deuteronomistic_History_Prophets_and_Kings_1_and_2_Samuel.txt | Professor Christine Hayes: One thing that kept cropping up , and it is something that crops up every time I teach this course, and I should always say something about it preemptively, is just a terminological issue. Israelites are not Israelis. The word "Israeli," term "Israeli," refers to a citizen of the modern state... |
Literature_Lectures | 7_Vladimir_Nabokov_Lolita_cont.txt | Professor Amy Hungerford: I want to start my lecture today looking back to that handout I gave you--but didn't give you a discussion of--a couple of days ago, from that essay Good Readers and Good Writers that I quoted at the very beginning of class this term. If you took the time to read that, what you saw is Nabokov ... |
Literature_Lectures | 20_The_Classical_Feminist_Tradition.txt | Prof: This lecture, I think, starts with a series of preliminaries. The technical term for preliminaries of this kind in literary study is "prolepsis"-- that is to say, the form of anticipation which, in a certain sense, covers what will be talked about later. They are prolepses of this kind. First, I wanted to say tha... |
Literature_Lectures | ENGL_3328_LECTURE_1B.txt | okay and here we are back again from our intermission and uh we're going to begin to talk about the actual material of the course now having spent the first part of our uh discussion this evening talking about the format of the course and the assignments and so on uh one other thing however before we go on that did occ... |
Literature_Lectures | 15_Marilynne_Robinson_Housekeeping.txt | Professor Amy Hungerford: Today I wanted to begin with that question I left you with: What does Housekeeping have to do with the Identity Plot? Did you see elements of the Identity Plot in this novel? Who did and what did you see? Yes. What did you see?Student: Oh…Professor Amy Hungerford: Oh. Now you have to make good... |
Literature_Lectures | 6_Guest_Lecture_by_Andrew_Goldstone.txt | Professor Amy Hungerford: Today it is my very great privilege and pleasure to introduce Andrew Goldstone, a TF in this course. Andrew is going to provide for you today the only relief you will get all term from my voice, so enjoy it! On the syllabus it says that I would be presenting a lecture on censorship in this slo... |
Literature_Lectures | 13_Toni_Morrison_The_Bluest_Eye.txt | Professor Amy Hungerford: So, today we will talk about The Bluest Eye. This novel has a lot to do with the questions that John Barth was thinking about, in a very different register, in Lost in the Funhouse. This is, of course, the story of a little girl who is totally remade by a story that's told to her, and I just w... |
Literature_Lectures | Lecture_17_Literary_Prophecy_Hosea_and_Isaiah.txt | Professor Christine Hayes: We're going to move on now to our second literary prophet and this is the prophet Hosea. He was a native of the northern kingdom. So Amos and Hosea you're going to associate with the Assyrian crisis and they are prophets of the northern kingdom of Israel. He's prophesying in the time of Jerob... |
Literature_Lectures | 22_PostColonial_Criticism.txt | Prof: Well, post-colonial studies is really by far the most varied and eclectic of the identity fields that we're passing in review in this portion of the course: eclectic really of necessity, of course, because of the immense variety of the materials covered, but also because of swirling issues and controversies withi... |
Literature_Lectures | 14_Influence.txt | Prof: So I'll tell you a little bit about Harold Bloom's career later in the lecture. Those of you who know How to Read a Poem, the books on religion, Shakespeare and the Invention of the Human, and perhaps only know those books, may feel a little surprised at finding him on a literary theory syllabus, but the great ou... |
Literature_Lectures | Lecture_9_The_Priestly_Legacy_Cult_and_Sacrifice_Purity_and_Holiness_in_Leviticus_and_Numbers.txt | Professor Christine Hayes: Today we're going to be turning to Leviticus. And Leviticus is a primary document of the Priestly School. And we identify this work as Priestly because it deals with matters that were of special concern to and under the jurisdiction of priests: the sanctuary, its cultic rituals, the system of... |
Literature_Lectures | 8_Semiotics_and_Structuralism.txt | Prof: So I'm going to be pointing to the board, at least in theory. I suppose I expect to be pointing to the board a little bit more today than ordinarily. The usual function of my [chalk] equivalent of Power Point isn't quite the same today because I'm taking an interest in some of these diagrammatic matters as well a... |
Literature_Lectures | 4_Configurative_Reading.txt | Prof: So before we go on to talk a little bit about the American historicist hermeneutical scholar E.D. Hirsch, and then Wolfgang Iser--for whom you have your reading assignment-- I want to go back to Gadamer a little bit and say something more about his taste, that is to say, the kind of literary and intellectual cano... |
