| | A Brief Review of the Literature for Presidential Hopefuls | | 2008-06-16 23:00:00 | | From today's Wall Street Journal: While Sen. McCain has argued that tax cuts—particularly on business—spur growth, Sen. Obama rejected that as flawed economics. "I've seen no evidence that . . . would actually boost the economic growth and productivity," he said. Here's some evidence! From the National Bureau of Economic Research: The Effect of Corporate Taxes on Investment and Entrepreneurship:Our data reveal a consistent and large adverse effect of corporate taxes on both investment and entrepreneurship, A 10 percentage point increase in the 1st year effective corporate tax rate reduces the aggregate investment to GDP ratio by about 2 percentage points (mean is 21%), and the official entry rate by 1.4 percentage points (mean is 8%).We find negative correlation between our measures of effective tax rates and recent growth in cross-country data. We also find that higher corporate taxes are associated with a larger informal economy.We estimate that a | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |

| | Literature Coursework | | 2008-05-08 02:37:00 | | Literature coursework is commonly a requirement that focuses on literature, either on a specific literary topic or emphasizing the salient points of literature. Depending on the topic to be written about, it often requires research to enable the writer to expound on the given topic.This is also primarily because researching about literature is not simply summarizing literary pieces; it is creatively interpreting, objectively judging, or critically evaluating literature.Having all these points in mind, it is understood that an investigatory report in literature must raise a debatable argument. This can only possible when the writer, prior to writing, has thought of and structured a specific and detailed dissertation statement that clearly defines his/her perspective and thoughts regarding the chosen topic. A debatable topic that one decides on can strengthen the argument based on a number of specific examples from the literary piece itself or from a number of other articles and criticis | | By: Dissertation Writing Guru | | |

| | Literature Review-An Important Aspect Of Thesis Writing | | 2008-05-04 23:50:00 | | Writing a literature review is an integral part of any research dissertation. It is an account of the published material by accredited researchers and scholars on a concerned topic. It is usually part of thesis writing or a research report.A good literature review is a knowledge demonstrator. A good literature review not only presents the fact that the researcher is aware of the latest work being done in the area, but also the fact that he has an ability to critically analyze the works being done in the area of research. It should identify areas of controversy in the literature and formulate questions that need further research.A good literature review also acts as a persuasive argument that the research is relevant to the area.While writing a literature review, a researcher has to undertake four stages. These include problem evaluation where the topic being examined is discussed, the second stage of literature search where the process of information lookup is discussed, actual evaluat | | By: Dissertation Writing Guru | | |

| | | Roberto Bolaño: Nazi Literature in the Americas | | 2008-02-25 10:13:38 | | Andrew Ervin reviews Roberto Bolaño: Nazi Literature in the Americas.
Bolaño's genius then, lies not only in telling a series of compelling stories, nor even in piling those up to form a larger narrative about a particular and unfortunate (if make-believe) artistic movement, but also in gently prodding us to ask some important questions about our own literary establishment.

It is probably true to say that no poet has ever been more diligent than Italo Schiaffino, not among his contemporaries in Buenos Aires at any rate, in spite of which was he was eventually overshadowed by the growing reputation of his younger brother, Argentino Schiaffino, also a poet.Read More

| | Killing Speculative Literature | | 2007-10-18 16:59:00 | | In the last year I've been realizing some growing trends that have made reading very difficult for me. Some of these trends have been in books that have gained popularity and the worst part of this is that these books become examples of good speculative literature when in reality they are not even good literature to begin with. We should not accept these trends, or allow these trends in any way to shape the direction of speculative literature. To do so could very well kill the genre, or at least kill its chances to be accepted by the academic world. It is already difficult for the literary academia to accept science fiction or fantasy as true literature and they will have no reason and no desire to accept it if they are forced to sift through dozens of books just to find one that is written well. So here they are (feel free to add to this):POV ViolationsI've read two books now that violate POV. One time I can accept, even two times doesn't bother me too much, but when it becomes common it drives me up the wall. I had to quit on a book recently because it constantly jumped around the POV in the midst of fight scenes and places where you have to be very focuses. I can't stand it. What exactly has changed in our society to make this acceptable? Are we lessoning our standards? Why would an editor let this garbage slip by? Why would a writer or a copy editor let this slip by? Every time I see a POV violation in a book, I have to put that book down. POV has rules. If you're not going to follow them, don't write and while many rules can be bent, you still cannot expect me or anyone with a literary mind to take your work seriously or to even finish it if you randomly switch POVs. You can have multiple POVs without switching in the middle of paragraphs or scenes. As an example, read Ragamuffin by Tobias Buckell (yes, I'm using you as an example again Tobias). Great use of POV. He doesn't randomly switch in the middle of a scene, everything is divided appropriately so you know to expect a potential POV switch.Follow the rules. They were made for a reason. Even literary fiction doesn't break this rule...as a rule at least (play on words there).Unrealistic FantasyFantasy writers, I think, have the hardest job of all writers. Why? Because they have to take something that isn't real and never will be real. Science fiction writers are able to write things that could potentially be real; they have science behind them. But fantasy writers don't have that luxury. At most they have access to medieval history, but that generally doesn't help someone develop vast fantasy worlds like Tolkien.Given that, a fantasy writer absolutely must make his or her world believable. The creatures in it have to make sense. Mostly this applies to fantasy for adults simply because adults, in general, don't have the wild, illogical imaginations of children.Unfortunately, some books don't do this. They create creatures that are unbelievable. Four-winged dragons that have thoughts are not realistic. The only creatures on our planet that have four wings are insects, and insects can't really think. Most birds are not intelligent in the sense that they have significant reasoning power. How is one to dispel disbelief if the very world he or she is trying to imagine doesn't even make sense?Unbelievable CharactersThis applies to all literature. Characters have got to be believable. We have to look at what they do by the end of the novel and understand the reason for it. Their actions must make some sense, even if we don't agree with it. Even aliens must make sense so far as we have to understand that their actions are simply alien, but at the same time there is a reason for it that is logical to that alien species.To sacrifice characterization for style should never be acceptable. Yet there are many books now out there that seem to ignore characterization. Why? Science fiction and fantasy are less about the worlds they are set in than about the characters that populate the story. Lack of characterization hurts the value of literature.SeriesI think other people have had this issue with fantasy already. One thing that is really hurting fantasy is the series. There are countless multi-volume series out there, all going beyond a simple trilogy. People are going to get sick of it. Generally we all don't want to have to wait until the next volume to find out what happens. And what about the unfinished series? The unfortunate thing about series is that it takes a long time to do. Robert Jordan left an unfinished series behind and so did Roger Zelazny. It's unfortunate that those two authors died before finishing, but I also feel sorry for the fans who will never have closure to the story. Hence why shorter series--trilogies or quartets--or even single volume books will do much better in the future.Complex ScienceThe good side of science fiction is that it is constantly being renewed as science advances. The bad side is when science fiction writers let science get in the way of the story or even in the writing. Most people who read books are not scientists, most people who read science fiction are the same. There is no need to bog down prose with references to things that people won't understand, especially if you don't intend to make it clearer to the reader. Just because Quantum Physics makes a marginal amount of sense to you doesn't mean it will make sense to your reader. The reader needs to understand.That's all I can think of right now.

| | | Hegel, Literature, and the Problem of Agency | | 2007-08-20 18:22:00 | | Author: Allen SpeightPaperback: 166 pagesPublisher: Cambridge University Press (February 2001)Language: EnglishISBN: 0521796342(R)Allen Speight argues that behind Hegel's extraordinary appeal to literature in the Phenomenology of Spirit lies a philosophical project concerned with understanding human agency in the modern world. It shows that Hegel looked to three literary genres--tragedy, comedy, and the romantic novel--as offering privileged access to three moments of human agency: retrospectivity, theatricality, and forgiveness. Taking full account of the authors that Hegel himself refers to (Sophocles, Diderot, Schlegel, Jacobi), Allen Speight has written a book with a broad appeal to both philosophers and literary theorists.

| | | THE NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD IN DIVAN LITERATURE | | 2007-06-19 13:55:00 | | THE NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD IN DIVAN LITERATUREAsma al-Nabi, which refers to the names and attributes of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), comprises one of the rich genres of our classical literature that is in fact intertwined with religious culture. Other examples of the genre concerning the Prophet include the mawlid, sirah, hilya, mi'raj-nameh, Hijrat al-Nabi (the migration of Prophet Muhammad), shafaat-namah, forty hadiths and a hundred hadiths. Similar to "Asma al-Husna" (the Beautiful Names of Allah), a poetic genre in which the names of Allah are collectively given, there has risen the tradition of gathering together the names of the Prophet in separate works of either prose or poetry, as he is the most beloved human being for both Muslims and Allah the Almighty.Besides faith, the motivation of poets to write about the Names of the Prophet include a particular well known hadith (saying of the Prophet) which states that those believers who read and write the names and a | | By: EN SEVGiLiYE | | |
