Gary Snyder, 8th Annual ODU Literary Festival
No full textGary Snyder. As a poet, Snyder tells us I hold the most archaic values on earth. They go back to the late Paleolithic; the fertility of the soil, the magic of animals, the power-vision in solitude, the terrifying initiation and rebirth; the love and ecstasy of the dance, the common work of the tribe.\u27\u27 Widely considered one of the most important poets of our time, Snyder is the author of eight collections of poetry, including Turtle Island which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1974 and five collections of prose. Snyder\u27s interest in promoting peace, ecology, and social justice in the form of working and teaching on the specifics of bioregionalism, deep ecology, and fourth world politics, as well as poetics and Buddhist meditation. On Tuesday afternoon Snyder will speak on Literature, Society and Politics in the New China, and on Tuesday evening he will read from his poetry
Martha Snyder: Setting a context for outcomes-based funding models
No full textMartha Snyder: Setting a context for outcomes-based funding models is a podcast interview with Martha Snyder, Senior Associate with HCM Strategists and author of Driving Better Outcomes: Typology and Principles to Inform Outcomes-Based Funding Models. Snyder provides an overview of outcomes-based funding, including its relationship to performance based funding and its differences with historic and enrollment based funding models. Additionally, Snyder addresses common concerns with outcomes-based funding such as its potentially negative impact on underserved populations and diminished quality of education. Noting the uniqueness of outcomes-based funding being focused on completion, Snyder emphasizes the importance of context as states consider and design these funding models and provides broad suggestions for effective funding models.

Project Summary
Data for Chapter 7 in "The Ideology of the Offensive: Military Decision Making and the Disasters of 1914" (Cornell University Press, 1984) The book from which this chapter is taken asks why the major European continental powers all began the First World War with offensive military strategies that failed to accomplish their political or military objectives and that helped to cause the war by increasing the insecurity of all these states. The author argues that the offensive bias in 1914 mainly stemmed from the preference of professional military organizations. Offensive strategies and doctrines enhanced their prestige and autonomy by purporting to create decisive military solutions to the paramount political problems of the state. The weakness of civilian oversight of professional militaries before 1914 unleashed this bias. The larger conceptual purpose of the book was to explore how strategists in any era might come to believe that security could be best achieved by destabilizing offensive means, including striking first. Chapters on Germany and France illustrate these main arguments of the book very directly. The Russian case manifests less of a systematic, long-term bias for the offensive. It explores the causes of a shift in Russian military strategy between 1910 and 1914 from a cautious, largely defensive war plan to a highly overcommitted plan for simultaneous offensives on three fronts. Two background factors – the growing strength of the Russian army and the tightening of the Russo-French alliance in response to Germany’s offensive war plan – help to explain the evolution of Russia’s strategy in a more offensive direction, but these considerations do not account for the disastrously overcommitted excesses of this move. The author emphasizes three explanations for the overcommitted offensives: (1) bureaucratic compromises in which different military bureaucratic factions each got the offensive that it wanted, (2) oversimplified decision processes that paid insufficient attention to logistical feasibility, and (3) a psychological bias for seeing the necessary as possible. Chapter 7 on Russia was chosen for active citation because the research for it added considerable information not widely available in the West, and because the footnotes take considerable pains to explain the connection between details of evidence and the arguments of the chapter.
Data Abstract
The evidence for the chapter comprises many primary sources and several Soviet scholars’ archival research. At the time of the data collection (in the 1980s), however, the author was denied access to the Soviet military history archive, which some Western scholars have subsequently been able to exploit in the post-Soviet period. One qualification the author makes concerns the general insufficiency of data in the Russian case at the time of his writing (as compared to the German and French). Although the chronology of the Russian planning process is well documented, the motivations for some of the changes in the war plan are not. The explanations presented in memoirs and published documents tend to be superficial. Soviet historiography had not been particularly incisive, and Western scholars at the time (like Snyder himself) did not have access to archival material on military planning. Consequently, the interpretations of Russian decision making are not definitive. Nonetheless, he considered using evidence from a past but critical period to be the major advantage of using historical rather than contemporary cases to study the sources of bias in strategic policy making, which remain similar in the present despite changes in military technology. FILES DESCRIPTION: The key documents used for citation activation come from published collections of diplomatic materials of WWI and Soviet historiography from the early part of the 20th century. For example, a critical source used on numerous occasions is a 1926 study by Andrei M. Zaionchkovskii, a general and military historian, who commanded the Russian 30th Army Corps during WWI, of the Russian planning for the war. The memoirs of Yuri Danilov, chief of operations of the Russian Imperial Army general-headquarters during the period, serve as another key source of evidence. Additional important sources used contain Soviet army publications of archival maps and plans and studies conducted by Soviet military academies’ scholars. Where possible, the author cites the English-language versions of books (e.g., the reminiscences of Russian foreign minister Sergey Sazonov, published in London in 1928), but many of the source materials are in Russian, German and French, and the author provides translations for many relevant excerpts. The source files are scanned versions of relevant pages cited from close to 80 individual publications.
Logic of Annotation and Activation
The author’s criteria for activating citations were whether the source material had a bearing on key arguments or historical interpretations, and whether the rarity or intrinsic interest of the materials warranted making them more easily accessible to researchers – even in cases where the materials might have played a relatively smaller role in the argument. As in the footnotes of the book itself, the author sometimes included English-language material for general background, even when it was not as directly on point as the Russian sources. Additionally, a few of the original sources used for this research conducted in the mid-1980s could not be tracked down for logistical reasons.</p

Myth, man and history. The films of Zack Snyder
No full textThe onset of the new Justice League films, beginning with Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice in 2016 gives me great pause due to my opinions of their director, Zack Snyder. He is a director that certainly seems to inspire controversy over his adaptations of sacred geek properties and a garish visual style that could be considered off-putting. 1 Yet while others could point to both good and bad attributes, my main reservations stem from the underlying ways that he tells his stories and their effect on audiences.
