Task Tyranny in Literature (Literary Analysis) Timothy Snyder’s On Tyranny provides examples from history to teach people how to prevent tyranny now. For this paper, you will be using the literary texts from the course to discuss how the theme of tyranny has both transformed and remained consistent through the artifacts and scholarly sources. Requirements • • • • • • • 1 ● You must write a research proposal (description below) as a first step toward completing this assignment 2 ● Your paper must be 5-7 pages in length, not including your Works Cited page ● You must pick at least one “lesson” from On Tyranny . ● You must use at least two of the three literary artifacts ( Brave New World , V for Vendetta , The Interview ) • • ● You must have at least two scholarly sources from the last five years. ● You must cite all sources properly using MLA Style for in-text citation and Works Cited page Description Write a paper in which you use ideas from our readings to develop a research project on a specific issue related to tyranny . Unlike Paper #1 in which you primarily analyzed another author’s argument, your purpose in Paper #2 is to devise entirely your own argument as it relates to the texts in this course, using both course material and research sources to support your ideas. Thus, Paper #2 requires that you present a clear, informed position on a narrowly-defined topic of your choice. The best way to identify a topic for this paper is to pay attention to the ideas or questions that spark your attention while reading our course texts or during discussions in class. We realize that not everyone comes into English 0802 interested in tyranny, so you may need to manufacture a sense of curiosity or interest in order to create the spark of attention. The better you are at being curious about what we’re reading and discussing, the more likely it is that you’ll find something to write about that becomes interesting to you over time. We will work in class on narrowing down topics, as well. Once you have a topic in mind, focus on creating a complex argument of your own about that topic. Do not worry about identifying an argument that is ground-breaking or presents something radically new for humankind. This is just English 0802! But also, keep in mind that you are not writing a report of facts you have found, nor are you writing an overly-simplified opinion piece. You must have something to say that other scholars could reasonably disagree with, and what you say must be nuanced and complex . Again, we will work in class to identify complex arguments as models for your own process. Writing the Research Proposal A research proposal is a common genre that you are likely to write again in other classes and potentially in your career. Research is a broad term that includes ethnography, observation, focus groups, generating statistics, running controlled experiments, analyzing data for correlations, investigating historical records, analyzing texts, etc. For your papers in English 0802, research will most likely involve consulting Paley Library for articles that other scholars have published. You may also use other literary artifacts in addition to library research if it is relevant to your topic. As Paley Librarians will certainly tell you, research is NOT a process in which you try to find the perfect source to back up your argument. Such a source will not exist and you’ll only find yourself frustrated if you go searching for it. Instead, you should focus on finding sources that are adjacent to your topic, and then use your own analytical skills to create the connection between your argument and the arguments or evidence of others. Your Research Proposal for this assignment should be one-page in length, and it should state your topic, your argument (or what you think will be your argument), and a list of possible research sources you’ve found in library databases or books. The list of sources should be in MLA format similar to a Works Cited page. The purpose of a Research Proposal is to give you a chance to see your argument on paper to be sure it makes sense and seems appropriate before writing the first draft. It will also give us a chance to intervene if you are on the wrong track or if we can be helpful in some way. My Research Proposal Thesis: Propaganda and tyranny Sources: • One chapter from On Tyranny (Ch. 2, defend institutions) • The Interview and V for Vendetta • 2 scholarly sources o tyranny, fascism, propaganda, control, censorship, media, news, autocracy Snyder, Timothy. “Chapter 2: Defend Institutions.” On Tyranny. `The Interview. Vfor Vdenet Sample of Research Proposal Paper #2 Research Proposal Thesis: Gun violence and mass shootings have created a tyranny of fear in the United States. Increased and better enforced gun laws would allow Americans a greater sense of security and thus freedom. Sources: Anisin, Alexei. "Antagonisms and the Discursive Sedimentation of American Gun Culture." Cultural Studies/Critical Methodologies, vol. 17, no. 2, Apr. 2017, pp. 133-139. EBSCOhost, doi:10.1177/1532708616670078. This article offers a new critical viewpoint of American gun culture through the use of political discourse theory. I argue that the historical evolvement and position of guns in the United States has coincided alongside a process of discursive sedimentation. The latter has fostered a contradictory antagonistic relationship which hitherto, has not been properly accounted for by scholars and activists. Specifically, this antagonism is indicative of a binary relationship that exists between a notion of socio-political freedom and its discursively relational opposites, slavery, anarchy, and tyranny. Gopal, Anandasivam and Brad N. Greenwood. "Traders, Guns, and Money: The Effects of Mass Shootings on Stock Prices of Firearm Manufacturers in the U.S." Plos ONE, vol. 12, no. 5, 18 May 2017, pp. 1-29. EBSCOhost, doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0177720. We investigate how mass shootings influence the stock price of firearms manufacturers. While it is well known that mass shootings lead to increased firearms sales, the response from financial markets is unclear. On one hand, given the observed short-term increase in demand, firearm stock prices may rise due to the unexpected financial windfall for the firm. On the other, mass shootings may result in calls for regulation of the industry, leading to divestment of firearms stocks in spite of short-term demand. We examine this tension using a market movement event study in the wake of 93 mass shootings in the U.S. between 2009 and 2013. Hirschman, Elizabeth C. “Social Contract Theory and the Semiotics of Guns in America.” Social Semiotics, vol. 24, no. 5, Oct. 2014, pp. 541-560. EBSCOhost, doi: 10.1080/10350330.2014.937077. We present a semiotic model of gun possession in America based upon the social contract theories put forward by Locke, Rousseau, and Rawls. Our central focus is upon the rights of selfpreservation and the protection of property. The model proposes that American political history has cycled between two sets of symbolic threats to the social contract:tyranny imposed by a despotic central government and chaos represented by outsiders designated as savages. Lowe, Sarah R. and Sandro Galea. "The Mental Health Consequences of Mass Shootings." Trauma, Violence & Abuse, vol. 18, no. 1, Jan. 2017, pp. 62-82. EBSCOhost, doi:10.1177/1524838015591572. Mass shooting episodes have increased over recent decades and received substantial media coverage. Despite the potentially widespread and increasing mental health impact of mass shootings, no efforts to our knowledge have been made to review the empirical literature on this topic. We identified 49 peer-reviewed articles, comprised of 27 independent samples in the aftermath of 15 mass shooting incidents. Based on our review, we concluded that mass shootings are associated with a variety of adverse psychological outcomes in survivors and members of affected communities. Wolpe, Bruce C. "Australians Swift and Decisive on Gun Violence." Public Health Reports, vol. 113, no. 1, Jan/Feb 98, p. 96. EBSCOhost, search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=aph&AN=334339&site=ehost-live. Focuses on gun violence in Australia, highlighting the government's policy to counteract this problem in 1998. Reference to an incident which resulted in 35 fatalities in 1996; How Australia is affected by American news and culture; Details on a law which enforced a ban on automatic and semi-automatic weapons.

Research Proposal
Thesis: Tyranny and propaganda go hand in hand since the latter helps to promote the political
cause of the former. However, it is possible to resist such advances through diplomatic means
such as defending the institutions, and if it fails to work, forceful means can also apply.

Bennett, W. Lance, and Alexandra Segerberg. "The logic of connective action: Digital media and
the personalization of contentious politics." Information, Communication & Society 15.5
(2012): 739-768.
This article shows the connection between the media and governance but for the good
cause. In this regard, if the media remains responsible in its role, it can help the populace to
understand their roles and what the movement should do for them as well.

This one highlights the various ways that the media can be used to confuse people by
spreading propaganda. As such, it can promote the political cause of a tyrannical rule by keeping
people informed wrongly.
