  • Negroes Are Different in Dixie: the Press, Perception, and Negro League Baseball in the Jim Crow South, 1932 by Thomas Aiello Research Essay ______
    NEGROES ARE DIFFERENT IN DIXIE: THE PRESS, PERCEPTION, AND NEGRO LEAGUE BASEBALL IN THE JIM CROW SOUTH, 1932 BY THOMAS AIELLO RESEARCH ESSAY ______________________________________________ “Only in a Negro newspaper can a complete coverage of ALL news effecting or involving Negroes be found,” argued a Southern Newspaper Syndicate advertisement. “The good that Negroes do is published in addition to the bad, for only by printing everything fit to read can a correct impression of the Negroes in any community be found.”1 Another argued that, “When it comes to Negro newspapers you can’t measure Birmingham or Atlanta or Memphis Negroes by a New York or Chicago Negro yardstick.” In a brief section titled “Negroes Are Different in Dixie,” the Syndicate’s evaluation of the Southern and Northern black newspaper readers was telling: Northern Negroes may ordain it indecent to read a Negro newspaper more than once a week—but the Southern Negro is more consolidated. Necessity has occasioned this condition. Most Southern white newspapers exclude Negro items except where they are infamous or of a marked ridiculous trend… While his northern brother is busily engaged in ‘getting white’ and ruining racial consciousness, the Southerner has become more closely knit.2 The advertisement was designed to announce and justify the Atlanta World’s reformulation as the Atlanta Daily World, making it the first African-American daily. This fact alone probably explains the advertisement’s “indecent” comment, but its “necessity” argument seems far more legitimate.3 For example, the 1932 Monroe Morning World, a white daily from Monroe, Louisiana, provided coverage of the black community related almost entirely to crime and church meetings.

  • 'Making Such Bargain': Transcribe Bentham and the Quality and Cost
    1 ‘Making such bargain’: Transcribe Bentham and the quality and cost-effectiveness of 2 crowdsourced transcription1 3 Tim Causer,2 Kris Grint,3 Anna-Maria Sichani,4 and Melissa Terras5 4 5 §1. Introduction and context 6 7 Research and cultural heritage institutions have, in recent years, given increasing 8 consideration to crowdsourcing in order to improve access to, and the quality of, their digital 9 resources. Such crowdsourcing tasks take many forms, ranging from tagging, identifying, 10 text-correcting, annotating, and transcribing information, often creating new data in the 11 process. Those considering launching their own cultural heritage crowdsourcing initiative are 12 now able to draw upon a rich body of evaluative research, dealing with the quantity of 13 contributions made by volunteers, the motivations of those who participate in such projects, 14 the establishment and design of crowdsourcing initiatives, and the public engagement value 15 of so doing (Haythornthwaite, 2009; Dunn and Hedges, 2012; Causer and Wallace, 2012; 16 Romeo and Blaser, 2011; Holley, 2009). Scholars have also sought to posit general models 17 for successful crowdsourcing for cultural heritage, and attempts have also made to assess the 18 quality of data produced through such initiatives (Noordegraaf et al, 2014; Causer and Terras, 19 2014b; Dunn and Hedges, 2013; McKinley, 2015; Nottamkandath et al, 2014). All of these 20 studies are enormously important in understanding how to launch and run a successful 21 humanities crowdsourcing programme. However, there is a shortage of detailed evaluations 22 of whether or not humanities crowdsourcing—specifically crowdsourced transcription— 23 produces data of a high enough standard to be used in scholarly work, and whether or not it is 24 an economically viable and sustainable endeavour.

  • Charter for the Interpretation and Presentation of Cultural Heritage Sites
    The ICOMOS Charter for the Interpretation and Presentation of Cultural Heritage Sites Reviewed and revised under the Auspices of the ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on Interpretation and Presentation Ratified by the 16 th General Assembly of ICOMOS Quebec, Canada 4 October 2008 Preamble Definitions Objectives Principles 1 PREAMBLE Since its establishment in 1965 as a worldwide organisation of heritage professionals dedicated to the study, documentation, and protection of cultural heritage sites, ICOMOS has striven to promote the conservation ethic in all its activities and to help enhance public appreciation of humanity’s material heritage in all its forms and diversity. As noted in the Charter of Venice (1964) “It is essential that the principles guiding the preservation and restoration of ancient buildings should be agreed and be laid down on an international basis, with each country being responsible for applying the plan within the framework of its own culture and traditions.” Subsequent ICOMOS charters have taken up that mission, establishing professional guidelines for specific conservation challenges and encouraging effective communication about the importance of heritage conservation in every region of the world. These earlier ICOMOS charters stress the importance of public communication as an essential part of the larger conservation process (variously describing it as “dissemination,” “popularization,” “presentation,” and “interpretation”). They implicitly acknowledge that every act of heritage conservation—within all the world’s cultural traditions - is by its nature a communicative act. From the vast range of surviving material remains and intangible values of past communities and civilisations, the choice of what to preserve, how to preserve it, and how it is to be presented to the public are all elements of site interpretation.

  • XS, S, M, L: Creative Text Generators of Different Scales
    XS, S, M, L Creative Text Generators of Different Scales Nick Montfort January 2012 TROPE–12–02 Abstract Creative text generation projects of different sizes (in terms of lines of code and length of development time) are described. “Extra-small,” “small,” “medium,” and “large” projects are discussed as participating in the practice of creative computing differently. Different ways in which these projects have circulated and are being used in the community of practice are identified. While large-scale projects have clearly been important in advancing creative text generation, the argument presented here is that the other types of projects are also valuable and that they are undervalued (particularly in computer science and strongly related fields) by current structures of higher education and academic communication – structures which could be changed.

  • Digital Deities in Cyberspace
    STATEMENT DC-228 TECHNOSHAMANISM: Digital Deities in Cyberspace by Douglas Groothuis Summary Spiritual explorers are increasingly looking to cyberspace to meet the needs of the soul. Many neopagans, occultists, and New Agers deem the technologies of cyberspace as fitting media for their magical experiments and rituals and view the Internet as a mystical plane of being. For some in this movement, which has roots in the counterculture of the sixties, both hallucinogenic drugs and computers help to demonstrate that reality is strictly a matter of our own perception and therefore can be manipulated and even created. However, this enthusiasm for the mystical potential of human technology is misplaced, illogical, and spiritually dangerous. It vainly attempts to build a spiritual reality on the faulty foundation of silicon, instead of on Jesus Christ. Cyberspace is the hot contemporary term for computer -mediated communication, the burgeoning new world of e - mail, databases, virtual reality, word-processing, computer games, and a raft of culture-shaping, digital technologies. The backbone of cyberspace is the Internet, an international computer system linking individual computers through phone lines. Being the incorrigibly spiritual creatures that humans made in God’s image are, many people are attempting to use cyberspace to feed and stretch the soul. A new movement is forming that views cyberspace as a sacred realm for the expansion of consciousness. Working from neopagan, occult, and New Age assumptions, te chnoshamans claim they are the wired wizards of the digital world (shamanism and technoshamanism will be defined in detail later). As this strange phenomenon unfolds, Christians need to address it theologically and biblically if we are to reach today’s technological culture effectively with the message of Jesus Christ.
