    GENERIC AFFINITIES, POSTHUMANISMS, SCIENCE-FICTIONAL IMAGININGS SPECULATIVE MATTER: GENERIC AFFINITIES, POSTHUMANISMS AND SCIENCE-FICTIONAL IMAGININGS By LAURA M. WIEBE, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Laura Wiebe, October 2012 McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2012) Hamilton, Ontario (English and Cultural Studies) TITLE: Speculative Matter: Generic Affinities, Posthumanisms and Science-Fictional Imaginings AUTHOR: Laura Wiebe, B.A. (University of Waterloo), M.A. (Brock University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Anne Savage NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 277 ii ABSTRACT Amidst the technoscientific ubiquity of the contemporary West (or global North), science fiction has come to seem the most current of genres, the narrative form best equipped to comment on and work through the social, political and ethical quandaries of rapid technoscientific development and the ways in which this development challenges conventional understandings of human identity and rationality. By this framing, the continuing popularity of stories about paranormal phenomena and supernatural entities – on mainstream television, or in print genres such as urban fantasy and paranormal romance – may seem to be a regressive reaction against the authority of and experience of living in technoscientific modernity. Nevertheless, the boundaries of science fiction, as with any genre, are relational rather than fixed, and critical engagements with Western/Northern technoscientific knowledge and practice and modern human identity and being may be found not just in science fiction “proper,” or in the scholarly field of science and technology studies, but also in the related genres of fantasy and paranormal romance.

To explore this question, we present the concept of liminality, within which key liminal tensions between bodies/machines, human/nonhuman, past/future, and here/not-here are articulated in interdisciplinary discourses of technology consumption.

Social institutions function as dispossessions , disenfranchisement , and discrimination over minority groups, while LatCRT seeks to give voice to those who are victimized. Daniel Farber and Suzanna Sherry have argued that critical race theory, along with critical feminism and critical legal studies, has anti-Semitic and anti-Asian implications, has worked to undermine notions of democratic community, and has impeded dialogue. As a movement that draws heavily from critical theory , critical race theory shares many intellectual commitments with critical theory, critical legal studies , feminist jurisprudence , and postcolonial theory.

However, notions of anti-Semitism and anti-Asian implications has been contested as there are divisions within CRT specifically HebCrit and AsianCrit, that address issues of equity and marginalization for both Jewish and Asian Communities.

  • By Michael L. Black Dissertation
    TRANSPARENT CULTURES: IMAGINED USERS AND THE POLITICS OF SOFTWARE DESIGN (1975-2012) BY MICHAEL L. BLACK DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Robert Markley, Chair Associate Professor Ted Underwood Associate Professor Melissa Littlefield Associate Professor Spencer Schaffner Associate Professor John T. Newcomb ii Abstract The rapid pace of software’s development poses serious challenges for any cultural history of computing. While digital media studies often sidestep historicism, this project asserts that computing’s messy, and often hidden, history can be studied using digital tools built to adapt text-mining strategies to the textuality of source code. My project examines the emergence of personal computing, a platform underlying much of digital media studies but that itself has received little attention outside of corporate histories. Using an archive of technical papers, professional journals, popular magazines, and science fiction, I trace the origin of design strategies that led to a largely instrumentalist view of personal computing and elevated “transparent design” to a privileged status. I then apply text-mining tools that I built with this historical context in mind to study source code critically, including those features of applications hidden by transparent design strategies. This project’s first three chapters examine how and why strategies of information hiding shaped consumer software design from the 1980s on. In Chapter 1, I analyze technical literature from the 1970s and 80s to show how cognitive psychologists and computer engineers developed an ideal of transparency that discouraged users from accessing information structures underlying personal computers.

  • Chapter 7 Justifying Technology Studies
    225 Chapter 7 Justifying Technology Studies Why should we teach technology in the schools? What is the reason for accommodating technology in the school curriculum? Why should we have to justify our existence? Are the public schools an appropriate institution for developing economic human resources? Should students be taught to think critically about technology? Is the technology laboratory or workshop the place in the school where the students can "put it all together"? Will technology studies lose its identity in an alignment with math and science? Should technology studies serve to remedy long-standing inequities in technology? Ought technology studies be aligned with ecology and sustainability? These are some of the primary questions that impinge on the direction of technology studies in the schools. Throughout the 20th century, technology studies expended an inordinate amount of energy justifying itself. At times, it seemed as though this subject was trying to be all things to all people. In the next chapter, we will make the case that there is one, and only one, persuasive justification for the inclusion of technology studies in the schools. That justification is the content of technology. No one will buy the 'all things to all interest groups' justification anymore. No longer does technology studies have to shift its identity from situation to situation, appearing avocational in one place, vocational in another and academic in a third. No more does technology studies have to take a subservient role to other subjects by appearing in integrationist garments, serving to provide applications or relevance to apparently irrelevant endeavors in the schools.

To work out intricately layered relationship between literature and newly arisen cultural phenomenon called eliterature comprising electronic literature, digital literature and new media writings, the paper builds on theoretical insights of Michael Wutz, Michael Joyce, Katherine Hayles, Jayshree K.

His idea of the whole child 674–683 who emerges through a process of experience and observation—of ‘emotion recollected in tranquillity’, in the well-known phrase of Wordsworth cited by Richardson—conflates the nature of the child and nature of the ‘natural’ world. By this act of ‘natural settlement’ not untypical of settler narratives in Aotearoa/New Zealand, the child’s—and, by implication, other settlers’— relation to the world of nature is naturalized.
