Biographical criticism
Biographical criticism examines how an author's life experiences are reflected in and can help explain their creative works. It asserts that an author's personal history unintentionally affects their writing. To perform a biographical criticism, one must first gather biographical facts about the author, then analyze how autobiographical elements are portrayed accurately or changed in the work, and determine if insights into the author's life are revealed and how their life experiences deepen understanding of the text. Key questions focus on identifying biographical details used or altered in the work and how the author viewed their own life as typical or extraordinary.

Biographical and Historical Criticism
The document provides three rules for biographical and historical analysis of literary works:
1. Do not rely solely on the author's biography, go deeper and analyze the text.
2. Do not assume the main character represents the author, as characters are fictional even if based on the author's life.
3. The author's exact intentions can never be known, so analysis should not claim to understand them absolutely.
Historical and biographical context is useful for understanding allusions and influences, but real analysis requires close examination of the text itself rather than just reporting facts about the author's life.

Biographies
Here are the key points about biographies for children:
- Biographies narrate the real life of an individual who has made an impact. They allow children to learn from others' lives and help them understand history.
- Early biographies only depicted idealized national heroes. Modern biographies portray subjects with more realism, vulnerabilities, and as representative of their time period.
- Biographies come in categories like partial, complete, collective, and autobiography. They cover people from all backgrounds and occupations.
- Well-researched biographies provide a truer sense of the subject and time period by exploring beyond great events. They develop the personality and place the person in historical context.
Biographical approach
The document discusses the biographical approach to literary criticism. It involves analyzing a work based on details of the author's life from sources like autobiographies and letters. Critics examine events, people, and settings in the author's life to identify influences in their works, though fictional works may differ substantially from real events. While it works for explicitly political or biographical works, it risks reducing art to just biography. It also emerged in the 19th century but lost popularity after arguments that the author's intent is less important than the reader's interpretation. However, an author's biography can sometimes provide useful context to understand references in their works. The document provides questions critics may ask about an author's life and influences related to their works.

This document provides an introduction to a book that analyzes contemporary Chinese coming-of-age fiction by authors Su Tong and Yu Hua set during the Cultural Revolution. The introduction argues that their works form a type of tragic and parodistic Bildungsroman that deviates from both traditional Chinese coming-of-age stories and the European Bildungsroman genre. It will examine how their young protagonists fail to achieve maturity or find their place in society, in contrast to previous optimistic visions of Chinese youth during this time period. The analysis will be grounded in comparisons to the development of the Chinese coming-of-age genre as well as concepts from Bildungsroman theory.Eastern and western ideals of happiness complete
Russell analyzes the differences between Eastern and Western philosophies of happiness and morality. He argues that Chinese philosophy as expressed by Confucius emphasizes simplicity, virtue, moderation and deriving happiness from leisure rather than aggressive activities. In contrast, Western societies prioritize constant activity, domination of nature, and see happiness as accomplishing worldly goals. Russell worries that as China adopts more Western values, it may lose its tradition of inner peace and handling disagreements without violence. He concludes that global happiness could increase if all societies embraced Chinese ethics of tolerance and patience.

This document provides an introduction to a book that analyzes contemporary Chinese coming-of-age fiction by authors Su Tong and Yu Hua set during the Cultural Revolution. The introduction argues that their works form a type of tragic and parodistic Bildungsroman that deviates from both traditional Chinese coming-of-age stories and the European Bildungsroman genre. It will examine how their young protagonists fail to achieve maturity or find their place in society, in contrast to previous optimistic visions of Chinese youth during this time period. The analysis will be grounded in comparisons to the development of the Chinese coming-of-age genre as well as concepts from Bildungsroman theory.Eastern and western ideals of happiness complete
Russell analyzes the differences between Eastern and Western philosophies of happiness and morality. He argues that Chinese philosophy as expressed by Confucius emphasizes simplicity, virtue, moderation and deriving happiness from leisure rather than aggressive activities. In contrast, Western societies prioritize constant activity, domination of nature, and see happiness as accomplishing worldly goals. Russell worries that as China adopts more Western values, it may lose its tradition of inner peace and handling disagreements without violence. He concludes that global happiness could increase if all societies embraced Chinese ethics of tolerance and patience.

This document provides context about Kazuo Ishiguro's novel "An Artist of the Floating World" through discussing postcolonial literature, culture, and the historical background of postwar Japan. It analyzes how the main character Masuji Ono feels displaced and estranged due to cultural changes in Japanese society after World War II and the increasing influence of American culture. Specifically, it discusses how postwar Japan experienced political, economic, and cultural restructuring under US occupation that eliminated military influence and conservative elements while increasing workers' power and consumerism. This caused traditional values and art to be replaced, making Ono feel disturbed by the new culture.

The passage discusses corruption in the Chinese government and the new anti-corruption efforts under President Xi Jinping. It notes the high-profile case of Bo Xilai, a former party chief in Chongqing who was sentenced to life in prison for corruption and taking over 8 billion RMB in bribes.

Ancient Warfare - Sun Tzu
Promotion for the latest issue of Ancient Origins magazine featuring a Q&A on Sun Tzu's alleged "Art of War."
The king who made war illegal
Qin Shi Huang - first emperor of China - ended the period of the Warring States and founded an empire based on peace.
Sun Tzu for Rationalists
This document discusses a book called "The School of Sun Tzu: Winning Empires without War" that describes how China developed a methodology based on Sun Tzu's teachings over 2,300 years ago to end a 200-year war. This methodology established a government that is still in place today and is the longest-standing government institution. The author argues that we can learn from China's experience in strategically generating collective action to address today's troubling times and make progress on issues like global peace and environmental protection.
The First Emperor of China: Fiction & Fact
2300 years ago China was founded by a brilliant leader. He developed a methodology that helped end 200 years of war; and as soon as that was done, he persuaded the warring states to amalgamate into the great empire of China. His name was Qin Shi Huang. Little is known about him today.
Sun Tzu on Intelligence
The document summarizes a book that argues Sun Tzu's "Art of War" was actually about achieving objectives through diplomacy rather than military conflict. The book claims Sun Tzu's work was called "Ping-fa", meaning "The Art of Diplomacy", and provided a methodology for the first emperor of China to unify the country through peaceful means rather than continued warfare. The excerpt outlines the final chapter on intelligence gathering, emphasizing its importance for determining when action is needed and avoiding unnecessary conflict through effective information collection and analysis.
Issues in conflict theory and practice
If we are serious about conflict - and if we want to do something about it - then we need to start by looking at what it is - and what it is not - and what we are doing about it. Some of what we have institutionalized may not be all that beneficial.
From sun tzu to bing fa
The document discusses the terra cotta army of China's first emperor Qin Shi Huang and other elements of his legacy. It summarizes that while the emperor is said to have built the terra cotta army to protect him in the afterlife, he was actually an atheist, and it was instead intended as a memorial and tourist attraction. It discusses two important philosophical texts from the time of the first emperor - The Art of War (Pingfa) and the Tao Te Ching. However, modern interpretations see them as about war when they were actually intended as guides for achieving objectives without conflict. The document critiques standard historical accounts and suggests the texts were teaching tools used in academies established by the emperor to develop
KM National and International
Knowledge Management can help meet organization needs at the local, national and international levels.
KM, Public Safety & Security
The document discusses knowledge management (KM) and its importance for organizations, especially in national security. It provides recommendations for establishing KM practices such as systematically involving those with relevant expertise in decisions, establishing processes for knowledge sharing, and ensuring accessible institutional learning. The document emphasizes that KM is about relationships and decision-making, not just tools, and stresses the need for integrated and interoperable systems between agencies to better share information and "connect the dots".
Conducting a Knowledge Audit
This document discusses the need for knowledge auditing and provides guidance on conducting a knowledge audit. It notes that knowledge audits can identify gaps and redundancies in organizational knowledge, assess how well knowledge needs are being met, and determine how to improve knowledge work and processes. The document outlines various methods for a knowledge audit, including interviews, surveys, observations, and testing findings with internal and external audiences. It suggests the audit should identify strengths and deficiencies in employee knowledge, information flows, relationship issues, and planned knowledge management initiatives. The goal of the audit is to inform a knowledge management plan and projects to enhance the organization's knowledge work and processes over time.

Are you fighting to increase resources for your library? Here's a presentation made to a large city board that may be of assistance.
Conducting a Knowledge - Business workshop
Think you want to get into Knowledge Management? Don't buy an off the shelf solution. There are none. Start with an organizational diagnostic. Do it with your own people. Define the need(s) and build / buy it at home.
KM Models and Samples
This document discusses characteristics of a "knowledge organization" and provides examples from the real estate industry. It argues that a knowledge organization's main assets and profits come from intellectual capital. It then lists several key aspects of a knowledge organization, including structured data, information holdings, defined processes, and a culture of knowledge sharing. The document proposes some specific ideas for sharing information and knowledge, such as communities of practice, best practices documentation, and exit interviews. Overall, it advocates for organizations to focus on knowledge management in order to remain innovative and aware of their external environment.
Public safety and intellectual capital
Being "effective" in supporting national security and challenging terrorism means a whole new approach to managing information and knowledge
KM: Hit or Myth?
For a very long time there has been a lot of debate whether KM is the "bright new thing" or whether is just overblown bumphf. Decide for yourself!
Precipitating Knowledge Management (KM)
1. The document discusses precipitating a knowledge management (KM) solution to address issues around isolation, division, and decreasing commitment in organizations.
2. It draws an analogy between chemical precipitation in solutions and how KM can help "settle out" insights from diverse parts of an organization.
3. The document argues that both business and IT management need KM to better understand work processes, make decisions together, and leverage their collective intellectual capital for the benefit of the organization.

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

The Sun Tzu School (Pacific Review)
- 1. The School of Sun Tzu: Winning Empires without War by David G. Jones
- 2. Pacific Book Review The School of Sun Tzu: Winning Empires without War is a semi- academic study of the topic of Sun Tzu. The author is fascinated by the ideas that surround Sun Tzu, whether it is a school or a person. Jones explores some of the deeper concepts touched on in the book The Art of War (in Chinese – Bing-fa). Many of the Chinese authors and philosophers that are discussed in this “ship’s log” have developed ideas about the treatment of others and the behaviors of the society. Jones’ insights and growing perspective throughout the book are interesting and meaningful for those who know very little about Eastern cultures. As a Westerner, Eastern culture is slightly alien to me, which is why this author’s quick unpacking of the elegance and nuance of these differences make this book educational and important.
- 3. The work of Bing-Fa is where many of the musings which make up this book stem from. Bing-fa examines the rise of the Chinese Empire and the structures of communication, oppression and transformation. The School of Sun Tzu, which is what this book is born of, which an institution that looks at idea generation and behavior modification. This book is a thought provoking read that encourages the reader to learn more about the world, to stay informed and to engage with new and different philosophies. It has religious elements, linguistic ponderings and life histories of important Asian people. While David G. Jones mainly focuses on China he also includes smatterings of other Asian countries, such as Japan, which help to lend credibility to many for his notes.
- 4. The School of Sun Tzu: Winning Empires without War is incredibly well written especially for a self-proclaimed diary. It also centers on a very well known and important book The Art of War, which according to Jones is not truly about war. He looks at methods of starting and winning a war in the time that Bing-Fa would have written, which reveals a lot about certain ways of thinking. I would recommend this work to readers interested in learning more about Eastern Culture, and a behind the scenes look at war and its many moving parts.
