In
the pursuit of completing these blog posts I will conduct research
using a variety of sources available from the Swinburne University
Libraries resources. Searching throughout the large collection of
databases to find relevant journals, articles, books, and any other
media that is available for me on the subject. I shall also conduct
online research consisting of websites and ebooks that I shall look
into and deem worthy before citing. This shall allow me to gain
access to the widest possible net of information available at my
convenience. With each blog post I intend to post something visual to
help give the blog a little more flare for the reader. Be it a
copyright free picture, or footage from youtube.
My
blog will be split into the following categories:
- Post 1: Research Brief
- Post 2: An Introduction to the History of Book Burnings and Censorship: I shall conduct general research of book burnings and related censorship throughout History for this post. Lightly touching on some of the more intriguing yet disappointing events that had occurred and some of the cost involved.
- Post 3: Book Burnings in Nazi Germany: I shall delve deeper into one of the most infamous book burning events in recorded history and then reflect on my findings.
- Post 4: Cairo's Scientific Complex Library: I shall research into a recent book burning event that was involved with political unrest and how it affected the lives in Cairo.
- Post 5: Deletionism: I shall discuss a new form of 'book burning' that emerged with the digital age, which is known as deletionism.
- Post 6: A reflection on Book Burnings and the History of Censorship: I will sum up my thoughts on the subject with the information I have accumulated. I will also make nods at generic articles and blogs of other peoples thoughts on book burnings and their relationship to censorship.
