Book excerpt: In George Orwell?s 1984, an 'unperson' is someone who has been vaporized, whose record has been erased. Similarly, the North Korean defectors that Tim Franco chose to portray have decided to disappear, fleeing sometimes for ideological reasons and often out of despair. The road to South Korea is dangerous and can take years, across the many different borders with Mongolia, Laos, Thailand and China. The travels of the ones that do are filled with the fear of being arrested and sent back to labour camps. Having arrived in South Korea, they often struggle to find a new identity, lost between their North Korean past and South Korean future. 00Here, Tim Franco presents the stories of fifteen such 'unpersons'. Each portrait goes side by side with the story of how and why the subjects came to their radical decision to flee. In order to retrace their steps, Franco travelled to their crossing points, capturing the diversity of landscape that is the background of North Korean defection.

Book Synopsis Goffman and Social Organization by : Greg Smith
Download or read book Goffman and Social Organization written by Greg Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-11-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Erving Goffman is considered by many to have been one of the most important sociologists of the post-war era. His close observation of everyday life and his concern with the ways in which people play roles and manage the impressions they present to each other led to his pioneering creation of a new dramaturgical perspective for sociology. His later analysis explored the field of deviance and many of his works in this area are now considered as sociological classics, including Asylums, The Presentation of the Self in Everyday Life and Stigma. This collection brings together many of today's leading sociologists to pursue and build upon the diverse aspects of Goffman's legacy. The contributors present chapters on key topics of Goffman's work. Issues covered include: * mental illness and institutionalism * the incorporation of literary intertexts in Goffman's writings * Goffman's relationship to ethnomethodology * the singularity of Goffman's ethnography Ranging from his critique of institutionalization to his understanding of the minute details of face-to-face interaction, this collection reveals the richness of Goffman's own work as well as his contribution to sociology today and will be essential reading for students and academics alike.

Book excerpt: "It was marvelous to fly, to roam through SchoolWorld at night, at the times with higher ratings. I liked to inspect the night schools and Institutes, sliding through the halls on my floatibike at top speed. The unpeople walked hunchingly, without looking at me, in case I had the brilliant idea of submitting them to the Emergency Test; they could be anything, be it classkipers or even chronic suspenders. Among the debris, a group of moropoors was eating around a fuming cauldron. My name is Threesabel Arquena and I'm a Class Delegate..." At the dawn of the XXIII century, society is deeply traumatized. After the Forgetfulness war, a global fight where Mnemonic Missiles were used for the first time, memories got diluted, data banks were either destroyed or deleted, and history became a cumulus of nonsense. As a consequence, culture became a religion. Two forces battle for the truth's monopoly: the University, a superpowerful estate that analyzes, interprets, and forces its official truth on History and Free Faculties, that rebels against the system, using urban warfare and sabotage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You build your lifestyle around your identity. Your identity is your fate. You are what you do, and you do what you do because of your identity. What you do constitutes your lifestyle. Most people are so busy with their lifestyle that they fail to consider whether or not their lifestyle is helping them or hindering them. You optimize yourself through having an optimal lifestyle, but how do you decide what lifestyle is best? Most people drift into lazy, easy, convenient lifestyles - acceptable to their peer group - that guarantee they will fail in life. Changing your lifestyle involves changing your identity, and that is the most difficult thing possible for average people. They don't have the will. Don't bother talking about changing the world unless you are in the business of destroying old identities and lifestyles, and creating brand new ones. As soon as you try to change a person's "sacred" identity, you are at war with them. Are you ready for the mother of all wars?
