Book Synopsis Space and Place in The Hunger Games by : Deidre Anne Evans Garriott
Download or read book Space and Place in The Hunger Games written by Deidre Anne Evans Garriott and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-03-13 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An international bestseller and the inspiration for a blockbuster film series, Suzanne Collins's dystopian, young adult trilogy The Hunger Games has also attracted attention from literary scholars. While much of the criticism has focused on traditional literary readings, this innovative collection explores the phenomena of place and space in the novels--how places define people, how they wield power to create social hierarchies, and how they can be conceptualized, carved out, imagined and used. The essays consider wide-ranging topics: the problem of the trilogy's Epilogue; the purpose of the love triangle between Katniss, Gale and Peeta; Katniss's role as "mother"; and the trilogy as a textual "safe space" to explore dangerous topics. Presenting the trilogy as a place and space for multiple discourses--political, social and literary--this work assertively places The Hunger Games in conversation with the world in which it was written, read, and adapted.

Book Synopsis The Politics of Fandom by : Hannah Mueller
Download or read book The Politics of Fandom written by Hannah Mueller and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-01-20 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fandom has been celebrated both as a harmonious, tolerant space and as apolitical and detached from reality. Yet fandom is neither harmonious nor apolitical. Throughout the past century, fandom has been shaped by recurring controversies and sparked by the emergence of new circles, platforms and discourses. Since the earliest days of science-fiction fandom, fans have conceived of their communities as quasi-political bodies, and of themselves as public actors in discursive spaces. They are concerned with the organizational structures, norms, and borders of fandom as well as their own position within it all. This latter concern has moved to the forefront as fan practices and platforms have been coopted by the entertainment industry and by political actors, forcing fans to situate their fannish and political identities in relation to both sprawling transmedia franchises and right-wing groups exploiting fannish formations for political ends. Through case studies of Glee and The Hunger Games fandoms as well as events such as Gamergate, RaceFail '09 and the Hugo Awards controversies, this book explores the complexities of political fandom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was a “normie” in every sense prior to 2020. I never watched the news but occasionally glanced over CNN headlines that would pop up on the News app on my phone. I thought that my neighbor that had a giant Trump flag and yard sign was absolutely racist and insane. I used to believe everything CNN said about Trump supporters. I didn’t care for politics and spirituality. However, in the early wintry days of 2020, hydroxychloroquine changed my life forever. My journey started in a logical place of documents and proofs. However, my journey quickly turned into exploring the subconscious, the I am, and the inner knowing. Come with me on my journey to awakening, through the beauty, the ashes, and the emotional rollercoaster. I hope that this book reads like The Chicken Soup for the [Conspiracy Theorist] Soul. Let’s escape the matrix and #growyourconsciousnesswithme.

Book Synopsis The Dark Fantastic by : Ebony Elizabeth Thomas
Download or read book The Dark Fantastic written by Ebony Elizabeth Thomas and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reveals the diversity crisis in children's and young adult media as not only a lack of representation, but a lack of imagination Stories provide portals into other worlds, both real and imagined. The promise of escape draws people from all backgrounds to speculative fiction, but when people of color seek passageways into the fantastic, the doors are often barred. This problem lies not only with children’s publishing, but also with the television and film executives tasked with adapting these stories into a visual world. When characters of color do appear, they are often marginalized or subjected to violence, reinforcing for audiences that not all lives matter. The Dark Fantastic is an engaging and provocative exploration of race in popular youth and young adult speculative fiction. Grounded in her experiences as YA novelist, fanfiction writer, and scholar of education, Thomas considers four black girl protagonists from some of the most popular stories of the early 21st century: Bonnie Bennett from the CW’s The Vampire Diaries, Rue from Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games, Gwen from the BBC’s Merlin, and Angelina Johnson from J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter. Analyzing their narratives and audience reactions to them reveals how these characters mirror the violence against black and brown people in our own world. In response, Thomas uncovers and builds upon a tradition of fantasy and radical imagination in Black feminism and Afrofuturism to reveal new possibilities. Through fanfiction and other modes of counter-storytelling, young people of color have reinvisioned fantastic worlds that reflect their own experiences, their own lives. As Thomas powerfully asserts, “we dark girls deserve more, because we are more.”
Book Synopsis The New Heroines by : Katheryn Wright
Download or read book The New Heroines written by Katheryn Wright and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-03-21 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how the next generation of teen and young adult heroines in popular culture are creating a new feminist ideal for the 21st century. Representations of a teenage girl who is unique or special occur again and again in coming-of-age stories. It's an irresistible concept: the heroine who seems just like every other, but under the surface, she has the potential to change the world. This book examines the cultural significance of teen and young adult female characters—the New Heroines—in popular culture. The book addresses a wide range of examples primarily from the past two decades, with several chapters focusing on a specific heroic figure in popular culture. In addition, the author offers a comparative analysis between the "New Woman" figure from the late 19th and early 20th century and the New Heroine in the 21st century. Readers will understand how representations of teenage girls in fiction and nonfiction are positioned as heroic because of their ability to find out about themselves by connecting with other people, their environment, and technology.

Download or read book Hunger: A Diary written by S. Semenov and published by ISCI. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Hunger" was deservedly translated into several foreign languages, and was repeatedly reprinted in Russia. Possessed of great talent as a realist, and of a profound knowledge of the life of the rank and file among the workers and government employees during the epoch of military communism, Semenov gave an uncannily truthful picture of the terrible months of famine endured by the masses in revolutionary Petrograd, the starvation which led to sickness, death, degeneration, moral and mental deterioration, but which, nevertheless, was unable to keep the sounder elements among the workers — particularly the youth — from remaining faithful in the defense of the Revolution and from struggling on until better times came. This work is unquestionably new, vivid, highly interesting and instructive to non-Russians and to all who were far away from the starving masses of Petrograd during the Russia's Civil War.
Download or read book My Country written by Kassem Eid and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-07-03 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kassem Eid survived arrest in al-Assad’s regime, a chemical weapons attack that shocked the world, and the siege of a city where he fought with the Syrian rebel army. This is his story—a unique and powerfully moving testimony for our times, with a foreword by Janine di Giovanni. On August 21, 2013, Kassem Eid nearly died in a sarin gas attack in the town of Moadamiya. At least 1,500 people were killed. Later that day, he was hit by a mortar while helping the Free Syrian Army fight government forces. He survived that, too. But his entire world—friends, neighbors, family, everything he knew—had been devastated beyond repair. Eid recalls moving to Moadamiya in 1989, at the age of three. The streets where he and his eleven siblings played were fragrant with jasmine. But he soon realized that he was treated differently at school because of his family's Palestinian immigrant origins, and their resistance to the brutal regime. When Bashar al-Assad succeeded his father in 2000, hopes that he would ease the state's severity were swiftly crushed. The unprecedented scope of this brave, deeply felt memoir makes it unique in the body of literature to emerge from the Syrian civil war. Eid illuminates the realities of growing up in a corrupt dictatorship; the strictures of living under siege; the impact of unspeakable violence; and how, at extraordinary personal risk, he drew worldwide attention to the assault on cities across Syria. This is a searing account of oppression, war, grit, and escape, and a heartbreaking love letter to a world lost forever.

Book excerpt: "I'd always thought food was pretty straightforward: you're hungry, you eat; you're not, you don't. Then I became a mother." So begins Betsy Block's humorous, life-changing book on the ultimate of all makeovers: improving the family meal. But how is her plan even possible when eleven-year old Zack's favorite food is Halloween candy; little Maya is so picky that she'll only eat cut squares of white bread; and her husband's idea of a gift is an electric fryer? Determined not to give up the good-food fight, Betsy comes up with a creative ten-step makeover plan. She consults experts, visits farms, and shows how she and her family manage the pitfalls, struggles, and triumphs of eating well when busy schedules, surreptitious lunch trades, snack machines, permissive grandparents, and willful temptations intervene. With helpful charts, food lists, recipes, tips, and suggested culinary and farm programs for kids, The Dinner Diaries chronicles one family's intrepid ten-month challenge to change the way they eat—one forkful at a time.
