This paper will study the problem of identity in the novel of the American horror writer Stephen King’s The Shining. I am going to analyse this novel paying special attention to that topic, and in order to do so I will use an important tool which is the conceptual apparatus of psychoanalysis. I will use Žižek’s How to Read Lacan and The Plague of Fantasies because these two works will be useful to understand certain concepts of psychoanalysis and to apply them to the analysis of the novel. I will argue that the novel can be analyzed through psychoanalysis in order to be understood in depth. My aim is to see how using a conceptual apparatus changes the way I read the novel.

  • Woodberry Forest School Summer Reading Program 2017 We Hope That All Woodberry Students Are Already Readers, Already Know the Pl
    Woodberry Forest School Summer Reading Program 2017 We hope that all Woodberry students are already readers, already know the pleasures of sinking into a great book, and already have a stack of books waiting for this summer. To nudge those of you who haven’t quite made that discovery yet, we are asking you to read three books from the following list over the summer. One of those must be the book selected for an all- school reading assignment by the headmaster, described below. The other two will be your choice from this list we have provided. If you see that a faculty member has recommended a particular book, feel free to ask that faculty member for additional information. In the fall your English teacher will ask you to fill out a pledged questionnaire about your reading. You will receive full credit, partial credit, or no credit depending upon the amount of reading you do. Please understand that summer reading will be figured into your English grade for the fall trimester and that it will have a significant impact on your average. If you read more than the required three books, you will receive extra credit for other books you choose from this list or from a list that you and your English teacher generate (with mutually acceptable titles) before you leave for the summer. Please remember that this program requires reading, not listening to a recorded book instead. Headmaster’s selection for 2017: The Road to Character by David Brooks Your parents and teachers know David Brooks, the noted conservative observer of politics and society, as a New York Times columnist and a commentator on NPR and PBS.

  • 2020 Audie Awards to Honor Stephen King for Lifetime Achievement
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Contact: Aileen Boyle, Audere Media [email protected] | 917-439-4470 2020 AUDIE AWARDS TO HONOR STEPHEN KING FOR LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT Bestselling authors Emma Straub, Adam Silvera, and Elle columnist R. Eric Thomas to serve as Audiobook of the Year Judges (New York, NY—January 8, 2020) — The Audio Publishers Association (APA) announced today they will bestow a special recognition on bestselling author STEPHEN KING for Lifetime Achievement at the 2020 Audie Awards®. The Audie Awards®, known as the most prestigious 1 award in the audiobook industry, will celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2020, capping a period of tremendous growth in popularity and acclaim for audiobooks. The event will take place on March 2, 2020, at Guastavino’s in New York City. Mr. King, a four-time Audie Award® winner and seventeen-time nominee, is the author of more than sixty books, all of them worldwide bestsellers. A long-time advocate for audiobooks, Mr. King once wrote of his love of the format: “The spoken word is the acid test. They don’t call it storytelling for nothing.” Mr. King has narrated some of his own audiobooks, published audiobook originals, and has used his megaphone to highlight the joys of listening. His recent work includes The Institute, Elevation, The Outsider, Sleeping Beauties (co-written with his son Owen King), and the Bill Hodges trilogy: End of Watch, Finders Keepers, and Mr. Mercedes (an Edgar Award winner for Best Novel and an AT&T Audience Network original television series). His novel 11/22/63 was named a top ten book of 2011 by The New York Times Book Review and won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Mystery/Thriller.

  • Identifying First Editions (Updated 2018) the Table Below Lists the First Trade
    Identifying first editions (updated 2018) Compiled by Bev Vincent with the assistance of materials made available by Rich DeMars, John Mastrocco, Steve Oelrich and Shaun Nauman. E-mail corrections or questions to [email protected] The table below lists the first trade edition identification criteria for each of Stephen King's books. The early Doubleday books all say "First Edition" explicitly on the copyright page (CP). There are other identifiers for these books as well. For books that contain strings of numbers to denote the printing, the important consideration is the presence of the numeral 1 in that string, regardless of the format of the numbers. Some possible variations of the printing numbers are: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 All three of these denote a first edition. The numeral 1 will be removed for a second printing. Black House is the exception. First edition copies state "First Edition" on the copyright page and the number sequence will be "2 4 6 8 9 7 5 3". Trim size is given because Book Club editions are often smaller than trade editions. Also, Book Club edition dust jackets (DJ) are occasionally found on first editions to replace lost or damaged jackets. Book Club edition dust jackets are easily identified because they do not have a price marked inside the front cover. Later printing trade edition dust jackets will often have a different price from what is found in the table.

In particular, mobile laser scanning systems are nowadays able to provide realistic 3D elevation profiles of a road to detect anomalies. In this context, this study utilizes a high-accuracy high-speed mobile mapping vehicle and evaluates a weighted longitudinal profile as an improved measure for evenness analysis. For comparison a classical method with a rolling straight edge was evaluated on the same road section and observed effects are discussed. The second focus is the areal reconstruction of the road thickness. For this purpose, a modern method was developed to spatially synchronize two high-speed laser scans using Citation: Skalecki, P.; Sesselmann, M.; Rechkemmer, S.; Britz, T.; Großmann, reference boxes next to the road, to transfer the point clouds into a surface model and to calculate A.; Garrecht, G.; Sawodny, O.

  • Review Many Decades of Turbulence Research
    Turbulence before 1961 Michael Eckert∗ September 14, 2011 Abstract The surge of turbulence research in the twentieth century is re- viewed with the focus on the institutional environment that provided an umbrella for the activities in this eld. Before the Second World War the International Congresses for Applied Mechanics served as the main stage for presenting research results on turbulence. After the War, the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, organiza- tions like the Division of Fluid Dynamics of the American Physical Society and new journals (the Journal of Fluid Mechanics and The Physics of Fluids) added to the institutional framework for turbulence activities and publications. The surge of these activities is illustrated with examples from the correspondence of some of the involved ac- tors (like George K. Batchelor and Francois N. Frenkiel, the editors of the new journals; both were also involved with the organization of the Marseille events in 1961). Introduction This is not the rst attempt to review many decades of turbulence research. Ten years ago, two heros of this discipline if it may be called a discipline reviewed A Century of Turbulence [Lumley and Yaglom, 2001]. Recently a A Voyage Through Turbulence explored the work of pioneers such as Os- borne Reynolds or Andrey Nikolaevich Kolmogorov [Davidson et al., 2011]. Since 1969, when the rst issue of the Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics appeared, many subelds of turbulence have become subject of critical sur- vey. Furthermore, textbooks on turbulence tend to include historical surveys. Based on the citations in [Monin and Yaglom, 1971, 1975] the reviewers of ∗Address: Deutsches Museum, Forschungsinstitut, Museumsinsel 1, D-80538 Munich.
