Authorial Identity and Objectivity: A Hungarian EFL Perspective on Academic Writing

-
Kép
As students in higher education advance in their studies over the course of their university years, it becomes more and more crucial that they develop an authorial identity. However, in Hungarian tertiary education students are urged by their tutors they adopt an impersonal style in their written essays. Struggling to meet institutional standards, they cannot construct their own writerly identities. Nevertheless, an objective presentation of ideas does not necessarily prevent Hungarian EFL university students from incorporating their personalities into their writing. Therefore, Hungarian EFL students must be equipped with the linguistic devices to make their voices heard. This essay seeks to propose that the insistence on objectivity in English academic writing does not inhibit Hungarian EFL university students from assuming their academic writer identity.

THBT satirical depictions of traditional gender roles in pop culture are an effective tool for feminist empowerment Source: OpenAI Proposition: A common objective of feminist satire is to exaggerate stereotypes typically associated with women. They may intentionally flout traditional sexist tropes like submissive housewives and hypersexualized women.  There have been instances, for example in the case of Madonna, when these satires proved to be an effective means to challenge patriarchal values. For example, Madonna's Like a Virgin subtly demolished right-leaning stereotypes - fetishizing purity and female innocence - deeply entrenched in the mid-1980s. A common feature, which this song and other media share, is that they address the root cause of sexism and present relevant phenomena in a digestible way. Based on historical precedent, their audience is likely to discern the absurdity and the limiting nature of these tropes and reflect on themselves.  For a lot of people, medi...
