[…]books like Tabbi and Wutz’s Reading Matters, Fuller’s Media Ecologies, and the ebr‘s own “critical ecologies” thread, this “medial turn” is not usually seen as a fundamentally ethical issue. Critics are most likely to appeal to the media ecology to analyze the novel’s struggle to remain culturally relevant, or perhaps to invoke McLuhan and claim that changes in media transform the nature of subjectivity and perception. Instead of being merely a matter of media history or some abstract change in the contours of the self, Lethem shows that how we engage with the range of contemporary media is a way […]
[…]in question is Frans de Waal’s Primates and Philosophers: How Morality Evolved. Cavalieri’s critical review centers the book around de Waals’ claim “that all the social animals, humans included, are ‘good natured,'” and that the traits of “empathy, sympathy, a sense of fairness and an appreciation of right and wrong” (Cavalieri) are taken from and shared with the animals around us. Cavalieri is critical both of this “Veneer” theory of ethics and of de Waal’s apparent lack of boldness regarding both his claims and his willingness to look at empirical data provided by comparative psychology or cognitive ethology. Springing from […]
[…]early adolescent (ten- to fifteen-year-old). Play is a powerful impulse for students to engage in group activities, to grow, and socialize. However, a student must see success, particularly as part of a group effort to grow a positive sense of self. Finally, to understand each other a little better, they must be able to exercise understanding outside of themselves. Most importantly, developing such understanding must be an act freely engaged upon by the early adolescent. I believe that I saw my students reaching their writing potential in Puppetland because they were engaged with their imagination, and reaching deep within to […]
[…]of our lives in consumer society. A lot of your neighbors feel that they spend all their time working at jobs they hate, in order to get the money to buy things that are supposed to make them happy, but don’t. Do you ever feel that way?” “Yes, I sure do.” “Great. Well, the solution we are working on with the support of you and your neighbors is to create a new society, based on sharing and mutual aid. But to do that, we will first have to smash the State and bring down the capitalist system. Does that sound […]
[…]She also has a blog-based link to a Web page associated with the key object, which contains a key code that will allow her to gain access to critical game-related information. Once accessed, her initial quest is completed, her stats are updated, and a new blog post and quest are made available. Next time she thinks she may even want to try the 3D client. But for now, she’s had enough of Guy and his chaotic […]
[…]is limited to WotC products. The association sponsors gaming events and provides individual player groups with role-playing scenarios. Member groups are expected to play the scenarios in a certain timeframe and report back the results to the RPGA. The events that occur most commonly among the player groups affect the campaign world and are reflected in the next group of scenarios released by the RPGA. So, for example, if a majority of the participating player groups succeed in defeating a particular villain, that villain’s defeat becomes canonical, and he will not play a part in future RPGA adventures. If, however, […]
[…]terms at arm’s length. For Stefans, the instantaneous nature of electronic discourse creates a critical challenge that needs to be met. With materials and methods this fluid, we may not have the luxury either of a long critical overview or staying in permanent attack mode. When surfing the Internet, the original context of a work of art has a way of being subsumed in the flow, morphing into other forms, and being sampled in various contexts having nothing to do with what the artist intended. Instead of bemoaning this centerless state, Stefans lets “Before Starting Over” be a similarly multi-centric, […]

[…]space, rehearsals in this medium were the equivalent of a micro performance, as we practiced working with our avatars and lines, as well as responding to folks (in character) who come there to be social. Being “inside” the piece (and the culture of the online public arena) and being “outside” of this culture in the physically proximal public space produced an utterly different experience of the piece. Projecting the output from the shared virtual space into an auditorium, and scattering live performance-ready terminals throughout the audience, completely shifted the space of creative play. The initial instincts of the people who […]
[…]as a natural result of what was already there at the beginning. Actors in scripted theater are working to reach a point where they are not recalling memorized dialogue and actions, but know the characters and the material so well that their responses are compelled by what is happening on stage. At that point they may not be able to recall their lines in the play without the stimulus that provokes such a response. Improvisational theater, then, relies on an implied playwright, an imaginary author who has written every conceivable story it is possible to write. Each performer is simply […]
