Topic: Oppressors


In the News (Sun 29 Nov 09)

  
  EDUCATION REVIEW
The oppressor is dehumanized by the act of oppression while the existential reality of oppression and the internalization of the image of the oppressor dehumanize the oppressed.
Freire defines oppressors as those who deny personal autonomy of others by imposing a worldview paradigm onto the oppressed that denies them the power to direct their own lives.
True freedom means ejecting the image of the oppressor and embracing autonomy and responsibility, which for the oppressed can be a frightening act in the face of reprisal from the oppressors or censure from fellow oppressed who fear reprisals.

 Gay Rights and Political Correctness: A Brief History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Finally, the philosophy of political correctness asserts that only the negative feelings of oppressors toward the oppressed may be viewed as prejudice, while any negative feelings of the oppressed toward the oppressors are reasonable reactions to the abuse of the oppressors and therefore not considered prejudice.
Moreover, only the acts of the oppressor are regarded as discrimination, while the acts of the oppressed toward those termed as oppressors, no matter how hostile, are considered to be justified by their long suffering.
Moreover, only the words and actions of the oppressor are regarded as discrimination, while the words and actions of the oppressed toward those termed as oppressors, no matter how hostile, are considered to be justified by their long suffering at the hands of homophobes.

 [No title]
The oppressors will not relate to the oppressed in any form where they are on equal terms, thus possibly relating to the oppressed as a living being and not simply an object.
The aim of the oppressors is to embed with the slave mentality, yet still be functional in society but at the same time live in fear of the oppressors to maintain their mind-set, with the occasional relapse of torture again for maintanence.
Many people are under the false belief that the oppressors have low expectations of the oppressed in their functionality, and this is where the problem occurs that helps embed the slave mentality.

Essentially oppressors are those who deny the personal and collective autonomy of others by imposing a worldview onto the oppressed that denies them (the oppressed) the power and opportunity to direct their own lives and affairs.
By convincing the general public (the oppressed) that their circumstances are unalterable except by the intervention of a ruling class, the oppressors stifle any possibility of action by the oppressed that runs counter to this paradigm.
In the fourth and last chapter, the theories of cultural action that develop from dialogical and anti-dialogical matrices are analysed: the former as an instrument of oppression and the latter as an instrument of liberation.

 Blogcritics.org: Of Oppressors and the Oppressed
And we find a way to be both oppressor and oppressed, to dance with justification and to blur the boundaries between awareness and deception within ourselves.
Perhaps it is understandable then that in a more democratic culture, the formerly oppressed peasants would exact a measure of revenge upon the samurai by stripping them of their right to wear weapons in public and even mandating that they change their style of hair and dress.
Failing that, it is not so illogical a progression for them to eradicate their former oppressors in a largely symbolic battle in which the democratizing tools of technology permit the weak and less experienced warriors to defeat the professional-warrior class.

 Armed Liberal: TERRORISM, PART 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
In order for this struggle to have meaning, the oppressed must not, in seeking to regain their humanity (which is a way to create it), become in turn oppressors of the oppressors, but rather restorers of the humanity of both.
Any attempt to “soften” the power of the oppressor in deference to the weakness of the oppressed almost always manifests itself in the form of false generosity; indeed, the attempt never goes beyond this.
Whereas the violence of the oppressors prevents the oppressed from being fully human, the response of the latter to this violence is grounded in the desire to pursue the right to be human.

 Gender and Representation of Victims-Oppressors Relationship:
I felt that by using this technique, by gluing every tiny bead, I was controlling every little detail of the portraits; me, the daughter of a holocaust victim is now playing the oppressor`s role.
Shenhav is denying any feminist message in her works but it is interesting to examine why she chose to use only male portraits for her work: `THE PORTRAIT OF EVIL`; Shenhav, a woman artist and a second generation of holocaust survivors is using the male Nazi officer as a symbol for the oppressor.
Patriarchal conventions might have been the reason for choosing male and not female portraits for representing the oppressor but Shenhav is also breaking those conventions by using the male portrait    as the object `to-be-looked-at`.

 MyDD :: Using the Language of Our Oppressors
I believe the main reason we continue to use the language of our oppressors is because we have no way of discussing ourselves to ourselves.
We do not even know who we are even when we are holding a private conversation among ourselves, and thus we almost inevitably define ourselves, and our country, on their terms, Middle America versus everyone else.
Talking about the "language of our oppressors" plays into their hands; the perception is that we see ourselves being oppressed, while they present themselves as being "liberators" of the nation.
