  • Hollywood Shower
    The following was presented in December 2008 as my 1st year review de- fense in the Visual Arts Department MFA degree program. For my first year review, I would like to present a concise recapitu- lation of the work I have done in the past year. The work is a constella- tion of projects; although ideas occur to me about common threads, the linkage between individual endeavors has been difficult to articulate in a productive way. I prepare this in effort to better connect the dots, and so that I might work with you (my committee) at least briefly, as a think tank, and chart a course toward a thesis project. I have a priliminary idea of it as a more thorough articulation and manifestation of my research on canyon ecology as it affects the specific urbanism of San Diego. HOLLYWOOD SHOWER www.youtube.com/hollywoodshower The Hollywood Shower videos rehash the consumptive fallout of seemingly mundane, daily tasks and activities that are both resource in- tensive and to which I would not otherwise question my entitlement. This is accomplished by establishing a graphic, surrogate unit (in the iterations that exist, 1 gallon jugs of generic drinking water) that spatially represents the quantity of a given resource consumed. A task is documented and re- enacted to quantify the units of resource consumed. The surrogate units are arrayed in real space, to produce a temporary, lived diagram. Video documentation, with its tacit time sampling and measurement capabili- ties, functioned as the primary measurement device. Therefore, the initial task (or subject), its documentation, its re-enactment, and spatial diagram establish a logistical matrix of problems layered onto the initial task, and Stills from HOLLYWOOD SHOWER 2008.

    Work Session Public Informational Meeting on Route 5 - New York State Department of Transportation October 4, 2004 5:30 p.m. S-6100 South Park Avenue Hamburg, New York 14075 Supervisor Hoak explains that they normally start the Work Session at 6:00 p.m., but tonight they are starting at 5:30 p.m. with a meeting with the DOT that the public has been invited to attend. They will be looking at some proactive steps from the study that they had done over the last few years. Councilwoman Hochul comments that following the meeting where it was determined that the DOT would not continue with the pilot project, they were contacted by residents along Lakeshore Road, who have been involved with this for many years and there was a desire on their part to have the opportunity to sit down with the Town Board and the DOT all at one table to talk about the ideas that they have had as well and what they think would work. They are not trying to rehash old issues they are trying to move forward and say there was a decision made to not continue with an experiment, however it is still a bad road and we need to take some steps. They are looking for input from residents who have lived this issue for a long time. They will also have the DOT give additional thoughts and options. Ken Kaminski, NYSDOT, comments that the pilot project has ended and they are still in a traffic calming mode and they scheduled an advisory meeting for next week Tuesday to try and get input from the advisory group as to what traffic calming measures they can do this year and to continue next year with the construction that will take place.

    William Atchison Online Compiled by Aysha Lonich, M.Ed.; annotated by Peter Langman, Ph.D. This document contains a collection of relevant forum posts, comments, and journal entries believed to have been written by William Atchison. The posts are from several of his accounts and are sequenced in chronological order. At the beginning of each year section are posts from that year whose specific publication dates are unknown. Atchison had profiles on many different websites, such as Blockland, Steam, Think Atheist, LiveJournal, Encyclopedia Dramatica, and Kiwi Farms. The creator of Kiwi Farms, Joshua Moon (whose alias is Null), began two threads shortly after the school shooting, where he and several other users posted information regarding Atchison’s aliases, profiles and posts. Articles pub- lished by The Daily Beast and The Daily Times confirmed some of this information. A complete list of sources is provided at the end of this document. This is a list of Atchison’s known aliases: Billisbill eldigato Tyrone Blacksmith Sephirot El_Digato Albanian Alchemist Sephroph Edward Digato nativenazi builder63 barajara heilkitler Kaphix Rebdoomer Sam Hyde Ganon101 DemetriusXIII Future Mass Shooter Prince N phantommastah Adam Lanza O2DGanon Norgrevival Demetrius Alcala Apophis Sturmgeist88 FuckYou MrApophis SatanicDruggie Jason Towick Digato Augustus Freeman AlGore Besides the obvious use of “Adam Lanza” as a username, several other names refer to school shooters: Rebdoomer was one of Eric Harris’s usernames; Sturmgeist88 is based on Pekka-Eric Auvinen’s username Sturmgeist89; nativenazi was one of Jeffrey Weise’s usernames.

This case does not involve any substantial constitutional questions. Furthermore, it absolutely does not involve any unique facts, rulings or issues. This case represents an attempt by the Appellant, Maurice King, III, to rehash the facts presented within the post-conviction relief setting and reverse his rightful conviction based upon overwhelming evidence. In November, 2007, Tommy Thompson (hereinafter "Thompson") provided information to Det. Eric Bosko of the Mansfield Police Department that he could sell stolen property to the Appellant, a Bellville police officer. As a result, Thompson, at the direction of Det. Bosko, attempted to sell the Appellant stolen compound bows that he assured the Appellant were not from the Bellville area. The Appellant agreed to view the stolen items for purchase but the meeting was cancelled as the compound bows could not be acquired to complete the transaction.

  • Abstract Memes and 4Chan And
    ABSTRACT MEMES AND 4CHAN AND HATERS, OH MY! RHETORIC, IDENTITY, AND ONLINE AGGRESSION Erika M. Sparby, PhD Department of English Northern Illinois University, 2017 Dr. Jessica Reyman, Director This project takes a rhetorical approach to studying online aggression. Frequently, targets of aggression are told not to “feed the trolls,” or not to respond to aggressive content lest they fuel further aggressive acts. However, this tactic does not work because it blames targets for further aggressive acts—not the aggressor—and it silences discourse. This dissertation examines methods for resisting online aggression without amplifying it while opening pathways to constructive dialog online. Each chapter studies a different popular locus of online aggression. The second chapter explores image macro memes and how they can perpetuate identity-based stereotypes; it offers counter-meming as a potential method for resisting memetic aggression. The third chapter takes two threads from 4chan’s /b/ board as case studies to show how identity rhetoric can shift discourses around transpeople in hostile spaces. The fourth chapter examines the “mean comments” six female YouTubers receive on their channels and offers the parodic reading mean comments video genre as means of subverting YouTube haters. The final chapter closes by presenting ways to teach methods for resisting online aggression in college and university writing courses and suggesting avenues for further research. NORTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY DE KALB, ILLINOIS AUGUST 2017 MEMES AND 4CHAN AND HATERS, OH MY! RHETORIC, IDENTITY, AND ONLINE AGGRESSION BY ERIKA M. SPARBY ©2017 Erika M.

W następnej części artykułu opisuję komizm i humor, tu przytaczam popularne teorie między innymi: Bergsona, Dziemidoka czy Bahtina. Następnie ukazuję zjawisko komizmu i karnawału w serialu South Park, opisuję ich znaczenie i celowość stosowania ich w serii. Dodatkowo zaprezentowane fakty przedstawiam na przykładach. W tym analizuję wybrane dwa odcinki Naughty Ninjas oraz Dead kids, które doskonale ilustrują podejmowane przeze mnie zagadnienie.
