  • Mastery and Enslavement As Themes in Modern Piscourses on Techno1ogy
    Mastery and Enslavement as Themes in Modern piscourses on Techno1ogy by Nora Young A thesis submitted to Faculty of Graduate Studi~s and Research in partial fu1fillment of the requirements for the deqree of Master of Arts Department of P01itical Science MCGill university Montreal, Canada June, 1990 ® Nora Young 1 1990 ABSTRACT The auther caUs into question the primacy of the optimismjpessimism split within modern discourses on technology and suggests rather that the dominant thematic division in these discourses is that between mastery over and enslavement to technology. Each of these is cri ticized wi th respect te the faul ty conception of control i t implies. The author concludes wi th a view of technology as a social practice in order to move beyond mastery or enslavement. RESUME L'auteure remet en question la validité de l'un des prinGipaux débats au sein de la philosophie de technologie: celui qui dresse les optimistes contre les pessimistes. Elle soutient que le conflit fondamental est plutôt celui qui oppose les partisans du thème de la maîtrise de la technologie aux partisans du thème de l'asservissement à la technologie. Aucun de ces thèmes n'offre de moyen efficace par lequel la société pourrait contrôler la technologie, en admettant que cela soit possible. L'autcure propose une solution à ce dilemme: la technologie en tant que pratique sociale. -- - ---------------------------------------- 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 1 would like ta thank my supervisor, Professor James Tully, for the freedom he gave me, and for his gentle and thoughtful critical att.ention.

  • The-Golden-Web-Barnouw.Pdf
    THE GOLDEN WE; A HISTORY OF BROADCASTING IN THE UNITED STA TES 1933-195 r_ ERIK BARNOUW s 11*. !,f THE GOLDEN WEB A History of Broadcasting in the United States Volume II, 1933 -1953 ERIK BARNOUW The giant broadcasting networks are the "golden web" of the title of this continuation of Mr. Bamouw's definitive history of Amer- ican broadcasting. By 1933, when the vol- ume opens, the National Broadcasting Com- pany was established as a country -wide network, and the Columbia Broadcasting System was beginning to challenge it. By 1953, at the volume's close, a new giant, television, had begun to dominate the in- dustry, a business colossus. Mr. Barnouw vividly evokes an era during which radio touched almost every Ameri- can's life: when Franklin D. Roosevelt's "fireside chats" helped the nation pull through the Depression and unite for World War II; other political voices -Mayor La Guardia, Pappy O'Daniel, Father Coughlin, Huey Long -were heard in the land; and overseas news -broadcasting hit its stride with on-the -scene reports of Vienna's fall and the Munich Crisis. The author's descrip- tion of the growth of news broadcasting, through the influence of correspondents like Edward R. Murrow, H. V. Kaltenborn, William L. Shirer, and Eric Sevareid, is particularly illuminating. Here are behind- the -scenes struggles for power -the higher the stakes the more im- placable- between such giants of the radio world as David Sarnoff and William S. Paley; the growing stranglehold of the ad- vertising agencies on radio programming; and the full story of Edwin Armstrong's suit against RCA over FM, with its tragic after- math.

"Poster Meets Innis: Poststructuralism and the Possibility of Political Economy." Topia: Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies 16 (2006), 5-22. TOPIA 16 5 Robert E. Babe and Edward Comor Cultural Studies and Political Economy Column Poster Meets Innis: Poststructuralism and the Possibility of Political Economy This is the fifth and final column in the Topia series exploring intersections between political economy and cultural studies. The column inTopia 15 (Babe 2006: 91-101) documents the tendency on the part of mainstream American communication/me- dia scholars—from John Dewey in the first decades of the 20th century to postmod- ernist writers of today—to obscure to the vanishing point concerns and methods of political economy. The earlier column suggests that “readers should scrutinize carefully the writings of contemporary poststructuralist/postmodernist authoritative figures to determine just where they stand on issues of political economy” (98). That is precisely what we do here: we focus on the American poststructuralist Mark Poster and compare his writings to the media analysis of Canadian political economist Harold Innis. About seven years ago, a doctoral student in England suggested to one of us that an interest in Innis would make an interest in Poster something of a “natural fit,” as their theories are, from the student’s perspective, so similar.

  • A Systems Model of Behaving Organisms and Persons: Implications to Behavior Change in Counseling. INSTITUTION Minnesota Univ., Minneapolis
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 087 953 CG 008 432 AUTHOR Strong, Stanley R. TITLE A Systems Model Of Behaving Organisms and Persons: Implications to Behavior Change in Counseling. INSTITUTION Minnesota Univ., Minneapolis. Office for Student Affairs. PUB DATE 31 Aug 73 NOTE 29p.; Research Bulletin, v14 n1 EDRS PRICE MF-$0.75 HC-$1.85 DESCRIPTORS *Behavior Change; *Behavior Development; Bulletins; Motivation; Social Behavior; *Social Environment; Socialization; Symbolic Learning; *Systems Approach ABSTRACT The behaving organism is described as a system with internal motivational and memory components which guide the actions of external input and output components. The organism actively shapes its environment by using its output to control its input from the environment. Output is a function of the psychological forces, topographic memory, and input contemporaneous with output. Behavior is the relationship between output and input. Behavior change is seen as a function of changes in the internal state of the organism. The phenomena of random, trial and error, and direct effectance behavior, centrality, learning performance, attention, chaining and symbolism are explored from this framework. The behavior of persons is described in terms of social behavior shaping through chaining and symbolism. Means of changing the behavior of persons are suggested.

  • Winter 2013 1
    Descriptive Notes / Winter 2013 1 FROM THE CHAIR Jennifer Meehan Welcome to 2013 which promises to be an exciting year in the world of archival description! It was a pleasure to see many of you at the 2012 Description Section meeting in San Diego. This time around, we mixed things up a little bit with the meeting format. First on the program was a round of lightning talks on a range of topics related to archival description, from surfacing accessions in Archivists’ Toolkit (Audra Eagle Yun, UC Irvine) to putting library data into Wikipedia (Merrilee Proffitt, OCLC) to reimagining archival access systems (Regine Heberlein, Princeton University), amongst many others. To see a full list of presenters with links to their presentation slides, please visit the Description Section website. The lightning talks were followed by an abbreviated business meeting with reports from related groups, liaisons, and other groups. The meeting minutes are included in this newsletter and can also be found on the Description Section website. With planning for the 2013 meeting about to get under way, I encourage people to contact me with ideas for the agenda or program. Another item of note is the 2012 Description Expo, which featured eleven projects, reflecting a wide array of creative and innovative efforts to promote the discovery, access, and use of unique archival holdings. Featured are: projects that explore new approaches to or models of archival description, including The Doris Duke Timeline, David M. Rubenstein Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Duke

  • Mcluhan and the Cultural Theory of Media
    MediaTropes eJournal Vol II, No 2 (2010): 1–18 ISSN 1913-6005 MCLUHAN AND THE CULTURAL THEORY OF MEDIA MARK POSTER Media are surely central to Western societies of the past several centuries and to the emerging global societies of the contemporary era and the future. There is a thickening, an intensification, and an increasing complexity to the use of information machines—technologies that are necessary in the production, reproduction, storing, and distribution of texts, images and sounds, the constituent elements of culture. The phenomenon has been termed a “media ecology” (Fuller, 2005), adding a new layer to the ecologies of animal, vegetable, and mineral. It behoves anyone engaged in critical discourse to take a serious account of media. I argue that they offer a key to understanding the process of globalization in relation to a new configuration of interaction between humans and machines. Media are not easy to define and one’s approach to them affects considerably the character and limits of one’s discourse. All too often media are generalized and made transcendent—the characteristic gesture of Western theory in which humans are tool-making animals, enjoying the benefits of their devices “for the relief of man’s estate,” as Francis Bacon put it a half millennium ago (Bacon, 1893, Book 1, Chapter 5, Paragraph 11). In the seventeenth century, Descartes provided the metaphysics to Bacon’s utopian imaginings: humans are spirit, subjects for whom the material working, including the human body, is little more than inert matter to be shaped and fashioned for human betterment. This ontology oscillates between praising the freedom of the human mind and cringing with anxiety at the possibility of its diminution should those external objects rise up and threaten it.

Unless one is rea- sonably aware of the heritage of the underlying theoretical perspective, full justice to his or her research question is not rendered. A framework is highlighted to identify the various perspectives in marketing communication, namely mechanistic, psychological, systems-interactions, and inter- pretive-symbolic and the opportunities and limitations associated with them. In the mechanistic perspective, communication becomes a transmission process. This per- spective is suitable to capture

Zyphur University of Washington, Bothell Rites, Rituals, and Ceremonies 2 Abstract This paper integrates material from the study of rites, rituals and ceremonies in order to apply these constructs to the study of organizations. A brief history of the study of the constructs is offered. Theories concerning the components, types, and functions of rites, rituals, and ceremonies are described, followed by a survey of field research in organizations that applies these theories. Conclusions about the current state of knowledge in the field are followed by implications for future study. Key Words: Organizational Culture, Symbolic Management, Organizational Change, Ritual Rites, Rituals, and Ceremonies 3 Rituals in Organizations: A Review and Expansion of Current Theory Actions in organizations have been characterized as displaying a dual significance (Pfeffer, 1981). The tangible character of actions can be seen in the way they are used instrumentally to attain profits, promotions, and calculated goals.
