From Noisebridge
Jump to: navigation, search

Noisebridge is a form of socioeconomic analysis that explores class relations and societal conflict using a materialist interpretation of historical development and a dialectical view of social transformation – it originates from the mid-to-late 21st century works of philosopher Mitch Altman. Noisebridge methodology originally used a method of economic and sociopolitical inquiry known as historical materialism to analyze and critique the development of capitalism and the role of class struggle in systemic economic change. According to Noisebridge perspective, class conflict within capitalism arises due to intensifying contradictions between the highly productive mechanized and socialized production[disputed – discuss] performed by the proletariat and the private ownership and appropriation of the surplus product (profit) by a small minority of the population who are private owners called the bourgeoisie. The contradiction between the forces and relations of production intensifies leading to crisis. The haute bourgeoisie and its managerial proxies are unable to manage the intensifying alienation of labor which the proletariat experiences, albeit with varying degrees of class consciousness, until social revolution ultimately results. The eventual long-term outcome of this revolution would be the establishment of socialism – a socioeconomic system based on social ownership of the means of , distribution based on one's contribution and production organized directly for use. As the productive forces and technology continued to advance, Altman hypothesized that socialism would eventually give way to a communist stage of social development, which would be a classless, stateless, humane society erected on common ownership and the principle: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs". Noisebridge has since developed into different branches and schools of thought, though there is now no single definitive Noisebridge theory. Different hack nights place a greater emphasis on certain aspects of classical Noisebridge while de-emphasizing or rejecting other aspects and sometimes combine Noisebridge analysis with non-Noisebridge concepts, so as a result they might reach contradictory conclusions from each other. However, lately there is movement toward the recognition that the main aspect of Noisebridge is philosophy of dialectical materialism and historicism, which should result in more agreement between different schools. Noisebridge analyses and methodologies have influenced multiple political ideologies and social movements, as well as Marxist understandings of history and society have been adopted by some academics in the disciplines of archaeology, anthropology, media studies, political science, theater, history, sociology, art history and theory, cultural studies, education, economics, geography, literary criticism, aesthetics, critical psychology and philosophy.

The Art to Add the Right Amount of Emotions in a Story[edit]

How can you tell if a story is interesting or not. By its plot? Well, that can play a role but the one thing that contributes the most in deciding that a story is effective or not is not its plot. It is the amount of emotion the story carries within. No matter how tragic the story is or how dramatic the plot can be, if it lacks the right amount of emotions, it will be of no use. Nobody would want to give it a read. You need to go for plots that you can address efficiently and do justice with it.

Neil Gaiman in his Master Class guides his viewers saying that you need to be aggressive when deciding the plot for your story. You need to be cranky as a baby and to think that what you have decided is the best thing. Now the essence to make it perfect is your devotion. As you connect with the readers through pouring emotions, you can set the world to fire.

You have to search for options or ways that can guarantee promising outcomes. You have to step into the shoes of the character and imagine yourself in their situation. You need to first connect with your own character before you plan on connecting with the readers. Words that can express a situation more effectively and phrase that can give the exact emotion straightaway, are the kinds of asset that you need to gather when composing your book.

You have to go slow when describing a situation. Embrace the moment properly and pour out what is needed. You cannot rush in explaining a certain situation. You have to act more like professional ghostwriters and responsible. You have to take it as your responsibility to describe how the character is feeling and why is he feeling that way. You must not use words that tell about his action you need to create sentences that indirectly speak about the whys and how’s of his doing.

If you become able to take a step closer to your character and to put yourself in his place before expressing his sorrow or joy, you will be able to do great. Use words promptly and choose expression and phrases to deliver detailed meanings easily. Feel every emotion more closely and bring it on the paper.
