  • Deterring Rebels: Political Persuasion and Manipulation in the Divergent Trilogy Films
    MONOGRÁFICO Círculo de Lingüística Aplicada a la Comunicación ISSN: 1576-4737 http://dx.doi.org/10.5209/CLAC.66600 Deterring Rebels: Political Persuasion and Manipulation in the Divergent Trilogy Films Raquel Sánchez Ruiz1 Recibido: 14 de noviembre de 2019/ Aceptado: 24 de noviembre de 2019 Abstract. The aim of this paper is to analyze the persuasive and manipulative strategies and devices used in the political propaganda in the films of the Divergent Series. Special attention is paid to Insurgent, since the outbreak of a war between different ideological and political factions and the government is a breeding ground for manipulative, political strategies to persuade the population to side with the former or the latter, which they use to try to win. In this scenario, political discourse also serves both deterring rebellious Divergents threatening the established system and controlling the masses from the different factions. To this end, I follow the parameters of different theoretical frameworks, such as critical-political discourse analysis, Appraisal Theory –focusing on attitude or attitudinal positioning– and the phenomena of polarization and legitimation. The results will allow us to see how the political agents of the film managed to influence their audiences with their speeches by using rhetorical means, subjectivity to present situations, objects or people positively or negatively at the speaker’s convenience or interests, and different types of power. Key Words: Divergent Series; political discourse; persuasion; manipulation; totalitarianism; attitudinal positioning [es] Disuadiendo a los rebeldes: persuasión política y manipulación en las películas de la trilogía Divergente Resumen. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las estrategias y recursos de persuasión y manipulación que se emplean en la propaganda política de las películas de la trilogía Divergente.

  • Science Fiction
    Science Fiction The Lives of Tao by Wesley Chu When out-of-shape IT technician Roen Tan woke up and started hearing voices in his head, he naturally assumed he was losing it. He wasn’t. He now has a passenger in his brain – an ancient alien life-form called Tao, whose race crash-landed on Earth before the first fish crawled out of the oceans. Now split into two opposing factions – the peace-loving, but under-represented Prophus, and the savage, powerful Genjix – the aliens have been in a state of civil war for centuries. Both sides are searching for a way off-planet, and the Genjix will sacrifice the entire human race, if that’s what it takes. Meanwhile, Roen is having to train to be the ultimate secret agent. Like that’s going to end up well… 2014 YALSA Alex Award winner The Testing (The Testing Trilogy Series #1) by Joelle Charbonneau It’s graduation day for sixteen-year-old Malencia Vale, and the entire Five Lakes Colony (the former Great Lakes) is celebrating. All Cia can think about—hope for— is whether she’ll be chosen for The Testing, a United Commonwealth program that selects the best and brightest new graduates to become possible leaders of the slowly revitalizing post-war civiliZation. When Cia is chosen, her father finally tells her about his own nightmarish half-memories of The Testing. Armed with his dire warnings (”Cia, trust no one”), she bravely heads off to Tosu City, far away from friends and family, perhaps forever. Danger, romance—and sheer terror—await.

  • The Reading Background of Goodreads Book Club Members: A
    1 The reading background of Goodreads book club members: A female fiction canon?1 Mike Thelwall, University of Wolverhampton, UK; Karen Bourrier, University of Calgary, Canada. Purpose - Despite the social, educational and therapeutic benefits of book clubs, little is known about which books participants are likely to have read. In response, this article investigates the public bookshelves of those that have joined a group within the Goodreads social network site. Design/methodology/approach – Books listed as read by members of fifty large English language Goodreads groups - with a genre focus or other theme - were compiled by author and title. Findings – Recent and youth-oriented fiction dominate the fifty books most read by book club members, while almost half are works of literature frequently taught at the secondary and postsecondary level (literary classics). Whilst JK Rowling is almost ubiquitous (at least 63% as frequently listed as other authors in any group, including groups for other genres), most authors, including Shakespeare (15%), Goulding (6%) and Hemmingway (9%), are little read by some groups. Nor are individual recent literary prize-winners or works in languages other than English frequently read. Research limitations/implications – Although these results are derived from a single popular website, knowing more about what book club members are likely to have read should help participants, organisers and moderators. For example, recent literary prize winners might be a good choice, given that few members may have read them. Originality/value – This is the first large scale study of book group members’ reading patterns. Whilst typical reading is likely to vary by group theme and average age, there seems to be a mainly female canon of about 14 authors and 19 books that Goodreads book club members are likely to have read.

  • Q & a with Allegiant Author, Veronica Roth
    Q & A with Allegiant Author, Veronica Roth Q: Who was your inspiration for Four? Where were you when you first imagined Four? A: I don’t generally take inspiration for characters from real people—it’s too much pressure, the idea of capturing an actual person. But when I originally started to write Divergent (four years before I actually finished a draft of it) it was from the perspective of a character named Tobias, who was, like Tris in Divergent, getting a haircut from his father on the day of his Choosing Ceremony. I think I mostly wrote that scene because I loved the formal feeling of the ritual, and I wasn’t thinking that much about the characters. But what I discovered was that there was all this unexpected tension in that beginning between Tobias and his father. Four years later, when I wrote the draft that would become Divergent, Tobias just dumped that tension and strong presence into Tris’s story, almost without my permission. He’d been at the back of my mind for a long time. Q: Which character do you relate with the most in your series? A: It’s hard to say. There are days when I relate most to Jeanine—she has this fear and this intense need to control her surroundings that I really identify with, as an anxious-yet-perfectionistic person. And there are a lot of times when I relate most to Tobias, who just desperately wants to be known for the person he really is, but can only really show himself to one person.

The second bestseller continues the dystopian thrill ride. I was very pleased with this as a whole.
