MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School CERTIFICATE FOR APPROVING THE DISSERTATION We hereby approve the Dissertation Of Jay T. Dolmage Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Director Dr. Cindy Lewiecki-Wilson Reader Dr. Kate Ronald Reader Dr. Morris Young Reader Dr. James Cherney Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT METIS: DISABILITY, RHETORIC AND AVAILABLE MEANS by Jay Dolmage In this dissertation I argue for a critical re-investigation of several connected rhetorical traditions, and then for the re-articulation of theories of composition pedagogy in order to more fully recognize the importance of embodied differences. Metis is the rhetorical art of cunning, the use of embodied strategies—what Certeau calls everyday arts—to transform rhetorical situations. In a world of chance and change, metis is what allows us to craft available means for persuasion. Building on the work of Detienne and Vernant, and Certeau, I argue that metis is a way to recognize that all rhetoric is embodied. I show that embodiment is a feeling for difference, and always references norms of gender, race, sexuality, class, citizenship. Developing the concept of metis I show how embodiment forms and transforms in reference to norms of ability, the constraints and enablements of our bodied knowing. I exercise my own metis as I re-tell the mythical stories of Hephaestus and Metis, and re- examine the dialogues of Plato, Aristotle, Cicero and Quintillian. I weave through the images of embodiment trafficked in phenomenological philosophy, and I apply my own models to the teaching of writing as an embodied practice, forging new tools for learning. I strategically interrogate the ways that academic spaces circumscribe roles for bodies/minds, and critique the discipline of composition’s investment in the erection of boundaries. I propose new ways to conceptualize rhetorical history, embodiment, composition’s geographies, pedagogies, and engagements.

Thanks to Sharon Thorpe for her friendship, good humor, and love, John Tassoni, Bill DeGenaro and Dale Jacobs for their friendship and encouragement, and Jim Stuart for his friendship and support. I thank Jim Cherney, Kathy Mcmahon Klosterman, Kathleen Hutchinson, Jean Lynch and Chris Wellin for bringing attention to disability issues on the Miami campus. I thank Morris Young for his critical examination of my work, and for giving me opportunities to learn from him and work alongside him. Kate Ronald deserves thanks for so much more than just her mentorship and inspiration—her understanding and sympathy helped me through the most difficult period of my life. I thank my chair, Cindy Lewiecki-Wilson, the best teacher I’ve ever had, co-author of any good ideas I’ll ever have. I thank my family–Marilyn, Jim, Matt and Leah Dolmage. I have always been the one who tags along, and this work is my effort to follow each of you. I hope I can create change, cause trouble, and teach as well as you do. And I thank my partner Heather who is wonderful. vii DEDICATION This dissertation began with the loss of my uncle Robert Sidey. Born with a disability, he was given up at birth, institutionalized, and he died of neglect at age 8. I hope this work helps us to remember his life and lives like his, and to avoid repeating this loss. This dissertation is also dedicated to the memory of my big brother Matt Dolmage who passed away in 2004. This writing is built only out of what I learned from him; it is full of him. I hope that this work extends his fight—for the right to education, for access—and the change he initiated as he rolled down the street and through the world.

    Querying Wikidata: Comparing SPARQL, Relational and Graph Databases Daniel Hernández1, Aidan Hogan1, Cristian Riveros2, Carlos Rojas2, and Enzo Zerega2 Center for Semantic Web Research 1 Department of Computer Science, Universidad de Chile 2 Department of Computer Science, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile Resource type: Benchmark and Empirical Study Permanent URL: https://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.3219217 Abstract: In this paper, we experimentally compare the efficiency of various database engines for the purposes of querying the Wikidata knowledge-base, which can be conceptualised as a directed edge-labelled graph where edges can be annotated with meta-information called quali- fiers. We take two popular SPARQL databases (Virtuoso, Blazegraph), a popular relational database (PostgreSQL), and a popular graph database (Neo4J) for comparison and discuss various options as to how Wikidata can be represented in the models of each engine. We design a set of experiments to test the relative query performance of these representa- tions in the context of their respective engines. We first execute a large set of atomic lookups to establish a baseline performance for each test setting, and subsequently perform experiments on instances of more com- plex graph patterns based on real-world examples. We conclude with a summary of the strengths and limitations of the engines observed. 1 Introduction Wikidata is a new knowledge-base overseen by the Wikimedia foundation and collaboratively edited by a community of thousands of users [21]. The goal of Wikidata is to provide a common interoperable source of factual information for Wikimedia projects, foremost of which is Wikipedia. Currently on Wikipedia, articles that list entities – such as top scoring football players – and the info- boxes that appear on the top-right-hand side of articles – such as to state the number of goals scored by a football player – must be manually maintained.

Conclusions Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary Cybernetics is a science that studies systems of any nature that are capable of perceiving, storing, and processing information, as well as of using it for control and regulation. UNESCO – EOLSS The second title of the Norbert Wiener’s book “Cybernetics” reads “Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine”. However, it is not recognition of the external similaritySAMPLE between the functions of animalsCHAPTERS and machines that Norbert Wiener is credited with. That had been done well before and can be traced back to La Mettrie and Descartes. Nor is it his contribution that he introduced the notion of feedback; that has been known since the times of the creation of the first irrigation systems in ancient Babylon. His distinctive contribution lies in demonstrating that both animals and machines can be combined into a new, wider class of objects which is characterized by the presence of control systems; furthermore, living organisms, including humans and machines, can be talked about in the same language that is suitable for a description of any teleological (goal-directed) systems.

  • DEMOCRITUS Democritus

    DEMOCRITUS Democritus

    CHAPTER FOUR DEMOCRITUS Democritus (c. 460-396 B.C.) was a younger contemporary ofProtagoras; both were born in Abdera. 1 Although he had encyclopedic interests and was the author of many works, the 298 fragments ascribed to him in Diels-Kranz are at most all that has survived of his writings? Almost all of these fragments concern ethical matters. But despite this, Democritus has generally not been known for his moral theory. He has always, and rightly, been considered an important figure in the history of natural philosophy for his theory of atomism. Commentators on the ethical fragments have often found them to be of little or no philosophical importance3 and have sometimes questioned their authenticity. The issue of whether these fragments are authentic is not important in the context of the present study, which is only interested in these fragments insofar as they re­ present the views of an early Greek moral theorist concerned with the issue of the compatibility of self-interest and morality. Thus, it would make little difference here whether the fragments be attributed to Democritus or one of his contemporar­ ies, although my own view is that they probably should be assigned to Democri­ tus.4 On the other hand, it is a crucial question in the present context whether the fragments have philosophical importance. It is true, of course, that the ethical fragments are written in a style closer to the philosophically unrigorous fragments of Antiphon's On Concord than to those from On Truth. But it cannot be concluded from this fact that they are trivial.

    Processing Natural Language Arguments with the <Textcoop>

    Argument and Computation Vol. 3, No. 1, March 2012, 49–82 Processing natural language arguments with the <TextCoop> platform Patrick Saint-Dizier* IRIT-CNRS, 118 route de Narbonne 31062 Toulouse, France (Received 15 June 2011; final version received 31 January 2012) In this article, we first present the <TextCoop> platform and the Dislog language, designed for discourse analysis with a logic and linguistic perspective. The platform has now reached a certain level of maturity which allows the recognition of a large diversity of discourse structures including general-purpose rhetorical structures as well as domain-specific discourse structures. The Dislog language is based on linguistic considerations and includes knowledge access and inference capabilities. Functionalities of the language are presented together with a method for writing discourse analysis rules. Efficiency and portability of the system over domains and languages are investigated to conclude this first part. In a second part, we analyse the different types of arguments found in several document genres, most notably: procedures, didactic texts and requirements. Arguments form a large class of discourse relations. A generic and frequently encountered form emerges from our analysis: ‘reasons for conclusion’ which constitutes a homogeneous family of arguments from a language, functional and conceptual point of view. This family can be viewed as a kind of proto-argument. We then elaborate its linguistic structure and show how it is implemented in <TextCoop>. We then investigate the cooperation between explanation and arguments, in particular in didactic texts where they are particularly rich and elaborated. This article ends with a prospective section that develops current and potential uses of this work and how it can be extended to the recognition of other forms of arguments.
  • Remembering Music in Early Greece

    Remembering Music in Early Greece

    REMEMBERING MUSIC IN EARLY GREECE JOHN C. FRANKLIN This paper contemplates various ways that the ancient Greeks preserved information about their musical past. Emphasis is given to the earlier periods and the transition from oral/aural tradition, when self-reflective professional poetry was the primary means of remembering music, to literacy, when festival inscriptions and written poetry could first capture information in at least roughly datable contexts. But the continuing interplay of the oral/aural and written modes during the Archaic and Classical periods also had an impact on the historical record, which from ca. 400 onwards is represented by historiographical fragments. The sources, methods, and motives of these early treatises are also examined, with special attention to Hellanicus of Lesbos and Glaucus of Rhegion. The essay concludes with a few brief comments on Peripatetic historiography and a selective catalogue of music-historiographical titles from the fifth and fourth centuries. INTRODUCTION Greek authors often refer to earlier music.1 Sometimes these details are of first importance for the modern historiography of ancient 1 Editions and translations of classical authors may be found by consulting the article for each in The Oxford Classical Dictionary3. Journal 1 2 JOHN C. FRANKLIN Greek music. Uniquely valuable, for instance, is Herodotus’ allusion to an Argive musical efflorescence in the late sixth century,2 nowhere else explicitly attested (3.131–2). In other cases we learn less about real musical history than an author’s own biases and predilections. Thus Plato describes Egypt as a never-never- land where no innovation was ever permitted in music; it is hard to know whether Plato fabricated this statement out of nothing to support his conservative and ideal society, or is drawing, towards the same end, upon a more widely held impression—obviously superficial—of a foreign, distant culture (Laws 656e–657f).

My PhD dissertation at the University College of London provided a thorough account of his life as well as his long interchanges with the fields of art and design. The following document consists of a description of materials related to him that are held at Godon Pask’s North American Archive. British maverick Gordon Pask was a world-renowned cybernetician, awarded the Wiener Gold Medal from the American Society of Cybernetics for his contribution to the field, and who became closely associated with the rise of second-order-cybernetics. For a clear understanding of his perspectives, I recommend works by his close colleagues, such as Ranulph Glanville and Paul Pangaro. As Pangaro stated: “Pask’s achievement was to establish a unifying framework that subsumes the subjectivity of human experience and the objectivity of scientific tradition.”1 The substantial 1993 festschrift published in Journal of Systems Research and edited by Glanville2 comprises texts that express the diversity of fields touched upon and influenced by Pask, as well as a description of his publications and projects.

THREE, PP 481–500. —Said to the robot boy David by his designer— © 2003 THE JOHNS AI Stephen Spielberg HOPKINS UNIVERSITY PRESS The life of images has taken a decisive turn in our time: the oldest myth about the creation of living images, the fabrication of an intelligent organism by artificial, technical means, has now become a theoretical and practical possibility thanks to new con- stellations of media at many different levels. The convergence of genetic and computational technologies with new forms of specu- lative capital has turned cyberspace and biospace, the inner struc- ture of organisms, into frontiers for technical innovation, ap- propriation, and exploitation—new forms of objecthood and territoriality for a new form of empire. In AI, Stephen Spielberg registers this change by telling a story about the invention of an image that is, quite literally, a “desiring machine.” David, the W.J.T. Mitchell is contemporary answer to Pinocchio, is a robot boy with dreams Professor of English and and desires, and with an apparently fully elaborated human sub- Art History at the jectivity.
