Cold war crosshatchery – does it never end? A long blogtime ago I put up a couple of pieces about the air loom gang – James Tilly Matthews delusion which seemed to be a compound of prophecy and schizophrenia. It is funny how, at the very rim of the American culture, there has been this persistence of mental health epidemics that incorporate, as fantasy, images that turn out to be Defense Department fact.

It is argued that these books acquire a distributed media presence by acting as nodal points in an intertextual web. The intertextuality of popular science books causes images of science which are supportive of scientists' interests to continue to circulate in public discourse despite the alternative images thrown up by public scientific controversies reported in the news. The paper looks at examples of popular physics books which, like many other popularizations of physics, draw explicitly on science fiction. Since these texts do not respond to any specific controversy within or around science, they provide examples of 'routine' boundary work. It is argued that by working at multiple boundaries, texts such as these are able to claim potentially contradictory attributes for science at the same time as sustaining its place at the top of a hierarchy of ways of knowing</EM>).<BR/><BR/>AZ 215 = <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Strauss" REL="nofollow">HEGEL'S DISTINCTION BETWEEN VORSTELLUNG AND BEGRIFF</A> = <A HREF="http://www.ctheory.net/articles.aspx?id=489" REL="nofollow">SKIN OF WIND, SKIN OF STREAMS, SKIN OF SHADOWS, SKIN OF VAPOR</A> (<EM>Here, I braid three cords together, identity, algebra, and poetry. Identity is the subject matter, algebra is a tool for representing sign systems of fluid identity, poetry is used as the enactment of the view of identity described with the algebra. I also use algebra to aid in the development of computational techniques for implementing a system that generates prose poetry in response to a user's prompts -- a call and response form which is thematically fixed but variable in particular expression and metaphor. The subtitle of this paper: Skin of Wind, Skin of Streams, Skin of Shadows, Skin of Vapor is meant to evoke a restricted notion of identity, and the insubstantiality of that notion. A focus on skin is obsessive and solipsistic. I am expected to write about it in a paper on identity. When ethnic identity is made binary and colorized, we talk in bodily terms, of skin. It is evocative -- it is a membrane, protecting, projecting, coating, an exterior, a superficial, obvious and immense organ. I shan't disappoint these expectations of skin obsession, but when I write of the traits of ethnic identification these are just symbols for a classification based conception of social identity</EM>).<BR/><BR/>AZ 83 = <A HREF="http://www.ctheory.net/articles.aspx?id=489" REL="nofollow">ALGEBRA OF IDENTITY</A> = BEGRIFFSSCHRIFT = <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Cyborg-Handbook-Chris-Gray/dp/0415908493" REL="nofollow">THE CYBORG HANDBOOK</A> (<EM>AZ-62 CYBORGS AND SPACE; AZ-144 AFRICAN INFLUENCES IN CYBERNETICS</EM>).<BR/><BR/>AZ 144 = <A HREF="http://www.haussite.net/haus.0/SCRIPT/txt2001/01/eglash.HTML" REL="nofollow">AFRICAN INFLUENCES IN CYBERNETICS</A> (<EM>AZ-60 <A HREF="http://classes.yale.edu/fractals/Panorama/Architecture/AfricanArch/AfricanArch.html" REL="nofollow">AFRICAN FRACTALS</A>, AZ-83 THE CYBORG HANDBOOK</EM>) = <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_theory_%28sociology%29" REL="nofollow">LACK CO-ORDINATION BETWEEN MEANS AND ENDS</A> (<EM>AZ-64 STRAIN THEORY; AZ-64 ROBERT MERTON</EM>).northangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02124226438327229521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077210.post-52960695844137581352008-02-07T10:56:00.000+01:002008-02-07T10:56:00.000+01:00roger, this is the bestest blog.memory arts and ma...roger, this is the bestest blog.<BR/><BR/>memory arts and manmachines or manvehicles...
