Welcome to Free Education! Board Creator 01/29/15 (Thu) 19:38:53 No.1[Reply]

The idea is to get a board going where people can come to find free educational resources, and ask others where they might find educational material on a particular topic.

Please feel free to attach PDF files to posts, or links to dropboxes, or just urls where people might find the information they're looking for.

Start new threads for new topics of education, but please check the Catalog to see if anything might already fit into an existing subject discussion.

Because education is something everyone should have access to.

The Norman invasion of England, 1066 Autodidact 03/21/16 (Mon) 15:15:33 No.1066 [Reply]

Hello /freedu/cators, this thread is about the Norman invasion of England in 1066, and the Norman period thereafter.

The historic effects of the conquest included changes to the court and government, the introduction of Norman French as the language of the elites, and changes in the composition of the upper classes. More gradual changes affected the agricultural classes and village life: the main change appears to have been the formal elimination of slavery, which may or may not have been linked to the invasion. There was little alteration in the structure of government, as the new Norman administrators took over many of the forms of Anglo-Saxon government.

>>253
I have no idea how you came to that idea or where you heard it from but the patriarchy ideology itself is a myth.

You might be trying to make the concept of Patriarchy compatible or even attempt to make sense of why some might believe it's real, along the lines of how some would futilely believe there's benevolent applications to social justice (which itself is a catch-all term that simultaneously nullifies any actual definition when put into action), but it is ultimately and always has been a myth.

>This is the exact same mistake that the feminists you're annoyed about are making - and this is not what MOST feminists actually think.
Feminists are so divided and splintered amongst themselves because feminism itself is a vaguely defined and constantly re-adopted ideology. It varies too far and too chaotic to be consistent between one feminist to the next.

>Patriarchy is an ideology, and it hurts men and women. It skews the way we think about things. It sees men as powerful and women as weak; it's the reason men aren't seen as rape victims, again as >>252 points out. This ideology is patriarchy, and feminism is about combating that ideology; not men.
Ironically, and surprisingly, I'm shocked you believe that's the reason why men aren't seen as rape victims. While I'll extend some benefit of the doubt and think you're alluding to the "man up, shake it off" vibe of masculinity, that's not the full extent of why men aren't seen as rape victims, or any kind of victim at that.

One of the most recent variations of feminism is trying to own the image of a victim, especially rape victims. To admit that men can be victims means they have to surrender the identity of a victim and victimization as a whole. At the same time this action exposes that brand of feminism for its hypocrisy, because by their actions you can see how determined and caught up they are in self-victimization. They only seek to own the woe is me, woe is womyn mindset so they can perpetuate their own version of women are weak. Long gone are the days of personal strength. To them it seems that a woman can only be strong if she's already a victim in some form or another. How pathetic and shameful is that? Self-Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

But that hypocrisy is EXACTLY what I said the problem with this type of feminism is. I agree with you!

I pointed out that not all feminists think X, and your response has basically been "but some feminists think X!"

As I said >>307 extremism is always the loudest, so its no surprise that a lot of what we see with regards to feminism makes exactly these mistakes, is exactly this hypocritical. If you want to call what you see on tumbr "feminism" then go ahead, and I'll call what I see on /pol/ "politics". But as shown, academic feminist theory, the kind taken seriously by social, philosophical and ethical theorists, looks a lot more like this >>309

> How did you get this far without seeing all of this?

Critical War Studies Autodidact 02/25/16 (Thu) 13:01:34 No.993 [Reply]

"War is a mere continuation of policy by other means" - Carl von Clausewitz

"Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun" - Mao Zedong

Critical War Studies is a budding field in social sciences that seeks to understand the human phenomena of war. It's primarily studied from the perspective of International Relations, but also incorporates elements of critical theory, gender theory, post-colonialism etc, as well as traditional theories of strategy and tactics.

I'll dump a mix of pdfs and links to articles that was used in a course I took on the subject. In general, the content deals with the topics of "What is War", "How are humans affected by War", and/or critiques of modern and "post-modern" warfare. Frequently mentioned is Carl von Clausewitz, Michel Foucault, Deleuze & Guattari, and Jean Baudrillard.

I'll start of with some chapters from the defining work "On War" by Clausewitz, in which we find the genesis of the important friction between Perfect and Real war, i.e. war as we desire it to be and war as it actually plays out, a distinction that becomes important in the analysis of so called post-modern warfare.

These texts deals with the relationship between humans and war, some of these thus enters the field from a perspective of ethics, gender theory, etc.

Very interesting stuff, thanks for posting.

Do you have anything on pre-modern warfare, too? Or some kind of cross-era analysis of war, how war has looked in different economic/political/social eras, that kind of thing?

I found this cool article on the first ever recorded wars/evidence of warfare in human history: http://militaryhistorynow.com/2014/10/13/first-blood-historys-earliest-recorded-military-conflicts/

I think learning about the origins, history, and development of warfare could tell us a lot about war today.

Hmmm, this is the closest thing I have, regarding seapower and maritime strategy.

Otherwise I'd suggest you'd grab an Osprey torrent.

My personal musings are that almost all modern war, and it's difficulties, can be traced back to the nazi warmachine and it's doctrines (who themselves had learnt a lot from the British in Asia). These are theories such the widespread use of porxy forces and auxliaries such as the Ustaše or Chetniks, mechanization of the individual in war (see Nordin & Öberg) which was really perfected in the extermination camps, and the emphasis of speed and quality.

As for the difficulties, the Nazis ran into the same problem as the Americans have today, an eternally non-cooperative occupied population - which is why the US adopted the tactic of Strategic Communication as a narrative, it told them that people would inevitably come to support the US forces.

Well, that really never became the case.

what's the people controlling the industry all about? does it mean people make their own rules for the workplace or am I just extremely mentally challenged?

> does it mean people make their own rules for the workplace

Yeah pretty much. It means democratic ownership of the economy by everyone, collectively. No private ownership of the means of production, of capital, of institutions that we use (like education, healthcare, etc). Everything is collectively owned, managed, and run by the people, for the people.
