3　Micro and macro

During the peak of apartheid when Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd governed South Africa, the citizens of the state were very strongly constrained. Even if one had any motivation and plan, one couldn’t act on it due to the given circumstances.
The African National Congress, Pan-African Conference and African resistance movement attempted to overturn this. Many activists were apprehended during simultaneous nationwide raids in July, 1964. A leader of the African resistance movement, Max also participated. The African resistance movement was sprung from his writings and statements and he was consequently sentenced to ten years in prison.
Max changed jobs too frequently and fell victim to the sabotage of white people and was arrested at an early stage. Finally he was sentenced to death, and therefore could never adapt to society.
Life is filled with important life events and stress causes adjustment disorder, but personal important events (school attendance, independence, removal, marriage, divorce, unemployment and critical illness etc.) became the main cause of the disorder. The personality, the conceptual habit and the feeling of stress have a lot of influence. Anyone grows anxious and nervous and melancholy from terrible events. Adjustment disorder reacts strongly to stress and leads to specific symptoms appearing.
“Space and time” that expresses an impossible unlimited situation becomes adaptive ability during motivation. The comprehensive ability leads to the far-sighted risk avoidance of Gordimer. An author is also an expert and has the specific brain ability of writing a novel. Generally speaking, space is dealt with by the right side of the brain, and time is related to right and left side because it creates a sensory and logical image.

[Story of L]

◇acceptance: language and literature (Gordimer) → acknowledgment (language) → space and time (endlessness)
◇synergy: space and time →acknowledgment (information) → motivation and intelligence (risk avoidance and adaptive ability)

Just like social science and natural science, I make the analysis of micro and macro research for literature. Micro study is a particular field of contrastive linguistics, and macro is a global magnitude (north, south, east and west) and the shift of the research format. The shift of research format is the format L that deforms an inverted T of cognitive science extensively. The vertical axis is linguistic acknowledgment and the horizontal axis is information acknowledgement. Both axes are researched at the same time.
