Free culture or "digital barbarism"? A novelist on cop. To Helprin, the “collectivist ideology” of the anti-copyright faction is nothing less than an assault on 1) property rights and 2) the “individual voice.” He admits that most copyrights are worth very little, but still wants to lock up creative works for at least a century. It’s about control, the kind of control that allows Helprin to pass his copyrights to his heirs, who at least have an interest in safeguarding his words and work. Without the sort of control represented by tough, lengthy copyright terms, the world would descend into a “bloody nightmare” of remixes that would be “infinitely worse than being in a hippie commune in which anyone who wants to can use your toothbrush—or your diaphragm.”
Also, a “million geeks in airless basements” would “rewrite Doctor Zhivago to make it more like ‘Dungeons and Dragons.'” The My Little Pony brigade. WRITING (HYPER)TEXT AND IMAGE - A Polyptychal Discursion by Dani. This Is Not a Pipe. Here's the lecture notes for a presentation I did on "Authenticity". I. I was watching TV the other day and I saw an ad for Kraft Ranch salad dressing. The tag line was a boast that it’s made with “REAL INGREDIENTS”...I’m much relieved because I’ve been worried about salad dressings being made with fantasy ingredients....In case you wondered what real ingredients they used, they are: Soybean oil, water, sugar, blah blah... phosphoric acid, xanthan gum, polysorbate 60, etc.
All of which sound very convincingly authentically real to me.... II. III. IV. V. VI. How much copying is too much? In addition, there are great works that are done in homage or obsession. Is being part of a tradition a sign of authenticity or inauthenticity? Phrases like “there are no new ideas”, one “stands on the shoulders of giants” and “good artists borrow but great artists steal” are a pretty good indication that the idea of influence is accepted. VII. Great art? Donna Haraway - European Graduate School - 2000 1/9. Donna Haraway Links -- Voxygen. Selecting useful and meaningful Haraway links has grown into quite a daunting task over the past few years since I first started this page in 1996. I have excluded links leading to syllabi that use Haraway and topical bibliographies that include her work; there are far too many to catalog and they provide little additional information.
Also, with perhaps a handful of exceptions, I have avoided link and hub pages that are broad in scope or that focus on content areas (such as gender and science, cyberculture, or cyborgs) that have affinities with Haraway’s work. Instead, I limited the list of hubs and link pages to those that are Haraway-focused. Your local university librarian is better at this than I am. Also I highly recommend a visit to the European Graduate School Faculty page for Haraway, which includes an extensive bibliography of conference papers, book reviews, article reprints, and translations.

First published Wed Aug 9, 2000; substantive revision Wed Mar 16, 2011 Feminist epistemology and philosophy of science studies the ways in which gender does and ought to influence our conceptions of knowledge, the knowing subject, and practices of inquiry and justification.
It identifies ways in which dominant conceptions and practices of knowledge attribution, acquisition, and justification systematically disadvantage women and other subordinated groups, and strives to reform these conceptions and practices so that they serve the interests of these groups. The central concept of feminist epistemology is that of a situated knower, and hence of situated knowledge: knowledge that reflects the particular perspectives of the subject.
Feminist philosophers are interested in how gender situates knowing subjects. They have articulated three main approaches to this question: feminist standpoint theory, feminist postmodernism, and feminist empiricism. 1. Situated knowledge in general. Know-how. John Lye's CRITICAL READING: A GUIDE - A Guide Designed for. A Guide Designed for His Year 1 Students by Professor John Lye Copyright John Lye 1996, 1997 This is a guide to what you might look for in analyzing literature, particularly poetry and fiction. An analysis explains what a work of literature means, and how it means it; it is essentially an articulation of and a defense of an interpretation which shows how the resources of literature are used to create the meaningfulness of the text. There are people who resist analysis, believing that it 'tears apart' a work of art; however a work of art is an artifice, that is, it is made by someone with an end in view: as a made thing, it can be and should be analyzed as well as appreciated.
The ultimate end of analysis is, first and foremost, a deeper understanding and a fuller appreciation of the literature -- you learn to see more, to uncover or create richer, denser, more interesting meanings.
