Download or read book Study Guide for Decoding 1984 written by Steven Smith and published by Sherwood Press. This book was released on 2023-09-15 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Decoding 1984" breaks down the narrative chapter by chapter, providing summaries that capture the essence of the plot while highlighting key details and developments. This structured overview ensures that readers can grasp the progression of the story and the escalating tension as Winston Smith, the novel's protagonist, navigates the dangers of dissent in a society under constant surveillance. A critical component of our guide is the detailed analysis of characters. From Winston's quiet rebellion to Julia's pragmatic resistance and the omnipresent threat of Big Brother, we delve into their motivations, inner conflicts, and roles in illustrating the novel's themes. "Decoding 1984" does not shy away from exploring the novel's exploration of totalitarianism, the distortion of truth, the power of language, and the pervasive nature of surveillance. Each theme is carefully dissected to understand Orwell's critique of power and control. Moreover, the study guide examines Orwell's literary devices and the structural decisions that amplify the impact of "1984". From the use of irony to the stark, foreboding tone of the narrative, we look at how Orwell crafts a fantastical and eerily plausible world. Finally, the guide includes a discussion of the climax and resolution, the moral of the novel, and a reference to memorable lines from the novel.

Download or read book Decoding Clausewitz written by Jon Tetsuro Sumida and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2008-09-05 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly two centuries, On War, by Carl Phillip Gottfried von Clausewitz (1780-1831), has been the bible for statesmen and military professionals, strategists, theorists, and historians concerned about armed conflict. The source of the famous aphorism that "war is an extension of politics by other means," it has been widely read and debated. But, as Jon Sumida shows in this daring new look at Clausewitz's magnum opus, its full meaning has eluded most readers-until now. Approaching Clausewitz's classic as if it were an encoded text, Sumida deciphers this cryptic masterwork and offers a more productive way of looking at the sources and evolution of its author's thought. Sumida argues that On War should be viewed as far more complete and coherent than has been supposed. Moreover, he challenges the notion that On War is an attempt to explain the nature of armed conflict through the formulation of abstract theories. Clausewitz's primary concern, Sumida contends, was practical instruction of the military and political leadership of his country. To achieve this end, Clausewitz invented a method of reenacting the psychological difficulties of high command in order to promote the powers of intuition that he believed were essential to effective strategic decision-making. In addition, Sumida argues that Clausewitz's primary strategic proposition is that the defense is a stronger form of war than the offense. This concept, Sumida maintains, must be understood in order to make sense of Clausewitz's positions on absolute and real war, guerrilla warfare, and the relationship of war and policy/politics. Sumida's pathbreaking critique is supported by examination of the Prussian officer's experience during the Napoleonic Wars, previous major theoretical and historical scholarship on Clausewitz and his writing, and modern philosophical and scientific works that have much in common with Clausewitz's creative guide to the consideration of strategic practice. A major study of intellectual and military history, Sumida's book provides a provocative and above all readily comprehensible treatment of a previously inaccessible classic. It will surely become essential reading for all military professionals and serious students of military thought.

Download or read book The Fan Fiction Studies Reader written by Karen Hellekson and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2014-02-15 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential introduction to a rapidly growing field of study, The Fan Fiction Studies Reader gathers in one place the key foundational texts of the fan studies corpus, with a focus on fan fiction. Collected here are important texts by scholars whose groundbreaking work established the field and outlined some of its enduring questions. Editors Karen Hellekson and Kristina Busse provide cogent introductions that place each piece in its historical and intellectual context, mapping the historical development of fan studies and suggesting its future trajectories. Organized into four thematic sections, the essays address fan-created works as literary artifacts; the relationship between fandom, identity, and feminism; fandom and affect; and the role of creativity and performance in fan activities. Considered as literary artifacts, fan works pose important questions about the nature of authorship, the meaning of “originality,” and modes of transmission. Sociologically, fan fiction is and long has been a mostly female enterprise, from the fanzines of the 1960s to online forums today, and this fact has shaped its themes and its standing among fans. The questions of how and why people become fans, and what the difference is between liking something and being a fan of it, have also drawn considerable scholarly attention, as has the question of how fans perform their fannish identities for diverse audiences. Thanks to the overlap between fan studies and other disciplines related to popular and cultural studies—including social, digital, and transmedia studies—an increasing number of scholars are turning to fan studies to engage their students. Fan fiction is the most extensively explored aspect of fan works and fan engagement, and so studies of it can often serve as a basis for addressing other aspects of fandom. These classic essays introduce the field’s key questions and some of its major figures. Those new to the field or in search of context for their own research will find this reader an invaluable resource.
