[…]resources over the long term. But there’s no need to suggest that PMC ‘s fate is the fate of critical content on the Internet, be that content peer-reviewed or not. I doubt that Moulthrop was intending the anti-advertising quote as an interdiction on would-be electronic-scholars, but extra care should be taken to ward off such an implication, especially from an editor at the very influential PMC. For the record, I too know the particular difficulties of editing hypertexts, contrary to Moulthrop’s suggestion. ebr 5, which I guest edited, includes two, one of which is authored by John Cayley, whom ebr […]
[…]and choice dominate the inflated rhetoric of addiction that sells so many self-help books, groups, experts, and luxury rehab centers. Sedgwick’s Foucauldian subjects’ discursive genealogy has culminated in a postmodern consumer paradox; exhorted to muster moral fiber – “just say no” – the universe of addicts responds by accelerating their consumption of therapies. Incidentally, the subjectified revolving door of responsibility and compulsion protects producers like tobacco companies from misleading, obsolete, oversimplified reifications like “addictive substance.” Compulsion, a “force” that couples body with object, and in turn keeps alive the system of social flows that structures and supports this coupling, translates […]
[…]the potential for radical change can go unrealized for centuries. The shift from parchment roll to codex form, for example, did not result immediately in the production of large codexes containing a large number of diverse texts; rather, “[d]uring the first centuries of existence, the codex remained of modest size, composed of fewer than one hundred fifty sheets.” In addition, among non-Christians, “mastery and use of the possibilities gained ground only slowly. It appears to have been adopted by readers who were not part of the educated elite…and initially it was texts outside the literary canon (such as scholarly texts, […]
[…]unity. It falls victim to overambition, missing attainable goals in the pursuit of a new ecocritical understanding. The first section of the book examines the history and future of wilderness and features essays by R. Edward Grumbine, Denis Cosgrove, and Max Oelschlaeger. Each writer treats the dual concepts of “wilderness” and “wildness” but there is little common ground among them as to definitions or methodology. As a result, the authors’ collective efforts to illuminate these terms serves instead to obfuscate an already vexing issue of terminology. Differentiating between wilderness and wildness forms a crucial subtext throughout the book, but only […]
[…]the zine buyer for Tower Records and Tower Books: “Barnes & Noble is now selling zines with bar codes.” So there it is in a few bytes. What once-upon-a-time used to be called “selling out” is, here in Cyberville, just a matter of selling. Or is it? A bit later in the article a zine publisher, described as “bursting to sell out,” is quoted as saying, “Capitalism is weird. I’m celebrating all the stuff we can purchase, but I’m extremely suspicious of it too.” Caveat hacker! The relations between cyberzinia and the so-called mainstream in Post-postmodern culture are a lot […]
[…]like lava. I remember a detailed description of taking off a woman’s bra and an orgy where a group of college students were lying on the floor in a circle. Since I was so naive about the birds and the bees this didn’t strike me as kinky, merely as information. All sex was equally arousing and this book was great. Then I heard my mother’s key in the back door – I crammed the paperback in the bookcase and rushed to the living room, sprawled on the couch like nothing had happened. Dropping her purse on the coffee table my […]
[…]are always becoming, which are associated with the emanation of local cognitive processes, and coded female. This interpretive tactic raises important concerns: how can the “minortarian” philosophy of Gilles Deleuze (with Felix Guattari) be applied to feminist praxis? While in the writings by feminists about Kiki Smith one may find references to the works and writings of Alice Jardin, Hélène Cixous and Luce Irigaray, and Julia Kristeva and Judith Butler, among others, there is no question that Gilles Deleuze in particular is practicing grand philosophy, attempting a philosophy of marginality applicable to a range of those politically marginal, including women. […]
[…]toys ó about whom the player could not really suspend disbelief. A number of people have been working very hard over the years on ìnonlinearî or interactive narrative. It is my contention that these efforts cannot move forward to merge film and games, and that we will not be able to find a way to create an intermediate agency that will allow the viewer to find their way into caring about characters, until we provide a way that characters can act well enough to embody an interactive narrative. For this reason, and to lay the groundwork for interactive media that […]
[…]theme; sharing the trauma but providing a glimmer of hope, an inspiration, a feel-good reason for grouping together stories about certain types of personal and/or intimate tragedies. Let me stop right now and say: YES, THEY ARE ALL TRAGIC, UNDESERVED AFFLICTIONS AND ALL POINT TO SOMETHING GONE TERRIBLY WRONG WITH HUMAN SOCIETY Since FC2 is a publisher of non-commercial fiction, it certainly wouldn’t seem apt to do an anthology with a selling hook, especially a popular one, no matter how noble the editorial motivation for choosing the particular victimization as a motif. So an anti-theme anthology seemed […]
[…]of passage” (the preceding is from the “Feminism” chapter of a recently published college critical theory textbook). Do women write about, or only about, nurturing and mothering? Or is this what they’re expected to write about, and thus what gets noticed and published? In her groundbreaking introductory essay to Chick-Lit, Cris Mazza says she used the word “post-feminist” in her call-for-manuscripts without defining it, to see what it would produce. Mazza acknowledges that she took a risk in using such a word, and realizes that the project could have thus been construed as “anti-feminist.” But the risk was a necessary […]
