The Intensely Casual Guide to Good Story by Benjamin Logan Hudgins Pdf

In the 21st century the companies that make stories seem increasingly uninterested in providing a satisfying product to what they see as an audience of captive fans. To free you from captive fandom, the Guide to Good Story will show you how the value of a story comes from “Three Dimensions.” The first dimension is appeal, which describes the value stories provide by stimulating our emotions and providing us with the kinds of experiences that we want to have. The second is quality, which describes how well or poorly a story provides the elements our brain needs to generate and maintain the “suspension of reality.” The third dimension, context, describes how factors outside of a story shape it and create value within the story. You will then learn how to use the three dimensions together to become an aficionado, someone who uses the Three Dimensions to find good stories for themselves.

Talking Democracy by Benedetto Fontana,Cary J. Nederman,Gary Remer Pdf

In their efforts to uncover the principles of a robust conception of democracy, theorists of deliberative democracy place a premium on the role of political expression—public speech and reasoned debate—as the key to democratic processes. They also frequently hark back to historical antecedents (as in the Habermasian invocation of the “public sphere” of eighteenth-century bourgeois society and the Arendtian valorization of the classical Athenian polis) in their quest to establish that deliberative procedures are more than “merely theoretical” and instead have a practical application. But for all this emphasis on the discursive and historical dimensions of democracy, these theorists have generally neglected the rich resources available in the history of rhetorical theory and practice. It is the purpose of Talking Democracy to resurrect this history and show how attention to rhetoric can help lead to a better understanding of both the strengths and limitations of current theories of deliberative democracy. Contributors, besides the editors, are Russell Bentley, Tsae Lan Lee Dow, Tom Murphy, Arlene Saxonhouse, Gary Shiffman, John Uhr, Nadia Urbinati, John von Heyking, and Douglas Walton.

The Spectacle by Paul Thaler Pdf

In the Year of Simpson, the country was caught in the throes of the biggest story ever. No other single news event in our history could match the sheer scope and intensity of coverage given to the O. J. Simpson murder case. But the media did not just report the Simpson case, they were instrumental in creating it—a spectacle of such stupendous proportions that it hijacked American culture. In this critical expos^D'e of American media, Thaler presents a riveting narrative about the men and women who gave us the story of the century. It is a sprawling tale of the media grappling with their role as news-reporting entities; seduced by the values of entertainment and tabloidism; and faced with increased competition, fragmented audiences, and frantic pressure to keep both eyes on the bottom line. The Simpson story is one of exploitation, of media overkill and outright pandering, of huge profitmaking, all of which undermined the trial and fueled tremendous public cynicism about the way in which justice—and the media—work in this country. For more than a year, America was held captive to the great murder story. In Thaler's analysis, the media, more than any other single participant, altered the workings of the Simpson courtroom and the outcome of one of the most celebrated trials in America's history. From the first coverage of the murders to the final days of the trial of the century, the media were not only telling us what had become of justice in this country, but also what had become of them. This is that story.

The Power of Place by Diane Hebley Pdf

The author discusses the books and writers published between 1970 and 1989. She argues that the New Zealand seascape and landscape have been powerful forces in our children's literature. Inherently dangerous, they have given rise to to stories of challenge and adventure. She also shows how a sense of place has given writers a way of exploring characters and their points of view, as well as the concerns of contemporary society. The book includes extensive bibliographies grouped by author, geographic location and dates of publication.
