Dragon Ball Bulma Lusc

Soon a "challenge eighteenth-century"


C n recent weeks, I continued to cogitate with my crazy idea of draft zine eighteenth-century, which is gradually taking shape in my mind. I hope to show in the weeks to come, in a structured form, the ideas that came to me about it.
A complementary idea came to me, who could afford to mingle in a vibrant and eclectic less formal than a zine, amateurs of the eighteenth century varied.

Many bloggers on the net are to meet at their passions "challenges" friendly. It may well be the challenge to publish in a year, a review of five novels, each written by an author of one of the five continents. Or publish a critique of a historical novel per month of the year. Examples are numerous, and these challenges generally have no other objective than happy "gathering at a distance 'enthusiasts. There is no issue other than trying to meet the challenge and it is a pleasure to get there, and no shame in not succeeding. The idea

I therefore come to challenge eighteenth, by proposing that wants to publish, in 2011, blog posts on various topics, provided they are linked in the eighteenth century. This challenge will soon be launched in partnership with the forum eighteenth Madness, which I am attached.

The framework will be launched in the forum is being finalized, but I can already give you a preview almost final.


A challenge kézako?
A challenge is a dynamic in which each participant's full option, is able to himself trying to reach the targets set in advance. A challenge of the kind that we could offer generally has no other objective than happy "gathering at a distance" of enthusiasts: there is no issue other than trying to meet the challenge, there is pleasure to get there, and no shame in not succeeding.
This kind of challenge is open to everyone. The only requirements for participation are a part of the will, and secondly to learn to write in a way that makes it understandable that it publishes.

Challenge what?
The net is full of literary challenges as diverse
- some are very simple, consisting write some notes about a particular topic. Here are two examples: 5 continents Challenge invites participants to publish, in a year, at least one review a book by an author of detective every continent for the challenge and Thrillers thrillers Historical it is released in one year, reviews of 4 books within the genre;

- other challenges are much more open in the sense that the notes may relate to very diverse objects within a single theme. Thus, participants in the challenge A year in Russia can publish articles on the theme of Russia in very different perspectives (present / critique a classic novel Russian, Russian poetry, a novel or a movie that takes place Russia, an exhibition of Russian art, showcase of Russian vocabulary, etc.)..


A Blog as specific attachment point
Most often, these challenges have a blog to point of attachment, blog administered by the organizer (or organizations) the challenge. The Blog is used to publish the "rules" of the challenge, identifying the participants and their publications as part of the challenge, even to house publications of the participants who do not have their own blog.


challenge eighteenth-century
The basic idea of an eighteenth-century challenge is to pass each other, discover themselves and perhaps get in touch with people who share a taste for the eighteenth this century and whose taste can take very different forms: readers, moviegoers, painters, musicians, designers, costumers, hands-on everything, etc.. We do
not claim that this challenge will create a network of people who would suddenly, to attend each other when they do, at best, mingle blog to blog or in forums . But there may be an initial spark.


What will there be a challenge published in eighteenth-century?
By comparison with most of the challenges we've seen on the net, we will offer the participants to publish at least one ticket submission (or criticism) of a work - in the broadest sense - in 5 categories to choose from twenty categories the list would be established to provide a general framework.
Grouping categories into "families", below, does not matter, it only serves to give an indicative typology. A participant would be totally free to publish notes relating to all categories within the same "family."

For example: *

works of the eighteenth century
-
novel - poem or poetic
- Memorials
- play (either by itself or through a representative today , or registration)
- musical work (either by itself or through a representative today or registration)
- painting, drawing
- architectural design

* small or great personage of the eighteenth century
the participant's choice to challenge writer, architect, doctor, explorer, warrior, seductive, philosopher, etc.. Of course, this can be either a man or a woman.


* eighteenth-century works but after the eighteenth century (written / performed / created in the nineteenth, twentieth or the twenty-first century)
- historical novel
- academic study, academic book, etc..
- film (whether an adaptation of a work of the eighteenth century or not)
- TV movie / TV series (whether an adaptation of a work of the eighteenth century or not)
- television documentary
- Cartoon
- ballet
- possibly "unclassifiable" (as the show Bartabas the Chevalier de Saint George)

* re-creations
- costume designers
- arms manufacturers
- troops recovery
- model
*
games
-
games - war games
- role playing
- Other games

Succeeding
The idea really is that everyone feels relatively free in their own way to participate in the challenge, one of only constraints are to issue tickets of different categories.

Example of a challenge would be successful in a scattergun approach:
- an incendiary critique of a performance of The locandiera Goldoni;
- ticket blow of heart for the drawings by Francois Boucher;
- a warm recommendation to go for a hike Margeride equestrian, country of the Beast of Gevaudan;
- a round of applause for Barry Lyndon Kubrick, explaining why we prefer this film to the novel which it is adapted;
- a photographic portrait Marquise de Merteuil .

Example of a challenge would be successful in a more thematic approach:
- a mini-biography of the Marquis de Lafayette;
- a book review on a book about the Revolutionary War;
- an article on the size reconstruction of the Hermione frigate Rochefort (the Lafayette frigate that won to America);
- a criticism of comics The Hermione - The Conspiracy for Freedom , Jean-Yves Delitte;
- a spotlight on a naval designer makes mockups of the Hermione .


Watch for the launch of the challenge
The challenge will run through a specific blog, as has been indicated above. But we will advertise through various channels, history of attracting attention to this challenge and try to tickle the desires of writing as much as possible.

And, of course, the town crier not forget to pass in the halls of Mr. C. It would be damned if my loyal readers and kind lectrices were not among the first to know!
