Something that I wanted to research more on was the other probable causes for the Salem Witch Trials besides religious persecution and the politics involved and found one that piqued my interest. The idea that a mere piece of bad rye bread caused the whole incident aka ergotism.

[Tyler Pham @Tpham8UW]

(Ergotism is "a condition that results from a fungus that grows on rye" and can cause convulsions, hallucinations, choking, or even loss of limbs.) The article that I used as reference goes over pretty well the basis of the theory and provides links to papers that

During class the other day, we discussed about how the vampires are used as a means to monsterize queer culture by feminizing male vampires and masculinizing female vampires and how the general populace at the time thought that it was abnormal it was to be associated with

Ultimately didn’t end well. Not only the natives, but the men that came to her estate as well. Considering she had three husbands, she knew what they would be thinking upon seeing her and how they would act. That’s why we see Rutherford and Ashman doing much of what she wishes.

Last lecture, the system m of epistemes was introduced and made a concise point on how epistemes were directly correlated to systems of power. Those in power generally follow a episteme that resonates with all of their subjects and was thought to be the dominant episteme.

[Tyler Pham @Tpham8UW]

@A_MFoucault I guess you could say I was confused at this episteme of epistemes. lol

[Tyler Pham @Tpham8UW]

@A_MFoucault Oh sorry. I didn’t understand the question. You’re right, they aren’t confused by them.

@A_MFoucault a counterculture), and residual; ideas from the past that still has some relevance to the dominant episteme.

@A_MFoucault Well, these epistemes are some of which that coexist with the dominant episteme, where the archaic relates to ideas of the past that isn’t necessarily relevant at all, emergent; the ideas that is still in circulation but not as popular as the dominant (I thought of it as like
