    Zygmunt Bauman

    Social scientist Zygmunt Bauman composed a theory identifying the divides within a consumer society using two named categories; ‘the ‘seduced’, who were described as those people able to fully participate within consumer society and included people who have a positive identity seen to be valued members of society and the remaining people were in the ‘repressed’ category, those that have become excluded from a consumer society, such as the unemployed, or those on low wages and unable to participate fully in a consumer society (Bauman, cited in Hetherington, 2009 p. 27). According to Bauman people are divided more so on their consumption habits rather than their social class and this would result in some people falling into the ‘repressed’ category…

    Anastasia Romanov

    One of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the twentieth century was that of the disappearance and fate of the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna. Many people have stated that there is not a chance that Anastasia could have survived the execution of her family. Other people have speculated that she did survive with many imposters claiming that they were Anastasia for reasons most likely with the hope of retrieving the substantial fortune left by the Romanov family. One of the most infamous claims was made by Anna Anderson who fought for recognition for many years but was unsuccessful. With the discovery of human bones found near the burial site of the Royal family in 2007, the world was told that they did belong to the two missing children Alexei and Anastasia with the support of DNA testing.1 However many scientists and historians dismiss these claims due to the unreliability of the results.…

    We - Yevgeny Zamyatin

    We - Yevgeny Zamyatin

    We played a fateful role in Yevgeny Zamyatin's life. An epitome of his philosophy, the novel prefigured his own future and that of his country with astonishing accuracy. Zamyatin's credo is best expressed in the words of the heroine of We: "There is no final revolution. Revolutions are infinite," and, 'I do not want anyone to want for me—I want to want for myself." These two principles—eternal change, and freedom of the individual to choose, to want, tocreate according to his own need and his own will-dominated both his life and his work. "We shall break down all walls—to let the green wind blow free from end to end—across the earth," says his heroine. Small wonder he was hated and hounded by those who demanded uniformity and total compliance with an outside will—the state's, the Benefactor's, the Party's. A powerful and original writer, and an entirely modern one, Zamyatin is deeply rooted in the traditions of Russian literature. He is a direct descendant of Gogol and Dostoyevsky, the favorites of his childhood. He is also close kin to Leskov, Chekhov, Shchedrin, and his own contemporaries Alexey Remizov and Audrey Bely. Like Gogol and Dostoyevsky, he is profoundly concerned with central moral problems; like all of them, he is a great master of satire, style, and the grotesque. Zamyatin was born in 1884 in Lebedyan, one of the most colorful towns in the heart of die Russian black-earth belt, some two hundred miles southeast of Moscow—a region of fertile fields, of ancient churches and monasteries, of country fairs, gypsies and swindlers, nuns and innkeepers, buxom Russian beauties, and merchants who made and lost millions overnight. It was also a region that preserved a richly expressive folk speech, which Zamyatin absorbed and later used to magnificent effect in many of his stories, plays, and novellas. His father, an Orthodox priest, taught religion at the local school. His mother was a talented pianist. A naval engineer…
