Incorporating Care in Silicon Valley JA English-Lueck, San Jose State
Intensifying Work and Chasing Innovation: Incorporating Care in Silicon Valley J. A. English-Lueck, San Jose State University [email protected] Miriam Lueck Avery, Institute for the Future [email protected] Abstract The struggle for labor rights is often one of asserting embodied care. Workers negotiate for rest and safe physical conditions. In the United States, further embodied care is translated into health care and family-leave benefits. In Silicon Valley, while labor still struggles in the service and manufacturing sectors, professional high-tech work constitutes another set of challenges and expectations. Start-up culture draws on the university-student lifestyle—where institutionalized care includes a broad palette of wellness care, cafeterias, and structured recreation. So it is not surprising that yoga, massage, food, and managed fun made their way into high-tech workplaces of the late twentieth century. Increasingly, however, that corporate care is a requirement, not a perquisite, of progressive companies recruiting elite workers. Effective care requires personal awareness and corporate surveillance in order to be effective. Corporate responsibility in Silicon Valley workplaces embraces discourses in which worker productivity and care intertwine. This care is not evenly distributed or available to all workers, but still points to an emerging set of corporate care practices. Knowledge workers are expected to work more intensively, and employers sustain them by providing care. That logic of care shaped the social experience of both care providers, such as chefs and concierges, and workers, who learn to be the subjects of such care. Based on two decades of fieldwork in companies from Apple to Yahoo, this article outlines the uneven evolution of Silicon Valley’s corporate care. -
Trolling Aesthetics: the LULZ As Creative Practice” Charts How the LULZ Began As an Aesthetic Sense and Sensibility on the Notorious Message Board 4Chan
TROLLING AESTHETICS: THE LULZ AS CREATIVE PRACTICE LEE KNUTTILA A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN CINEMA AND MEDIA STUDIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO JUNE 2015 © LEE KNUTTILA, 2015 Abstract “The LULZ” became common Internet parlance in the mid-2000s to describe a wide array of online phenomena, from childish pranks, to the peculiar discourse of anonymous message boards, to a shadowy and subversive ideology. By the end of the decade, the canon of images and icons associated with the LULZ entered into artistic practice and along with it a certain dark understanding of the “digital condition” of online mediation. “Trolling Aesthetics: the LULZ as Creative Practice” charts how the LULZ began as an aesthetic sense and sensibility on the notorious message board 4chan. Akin to most online content, it quickly morphed into a multitude of new forms, including, for example, the video remix practice YouTube Poop, which takes the aesthetic logic of 4chan but changes its creative systems and output. The result is both a discordant bric-a-brac of absurd digital art and an example of how the LULZ functions, beyond idle message boards, as a purposeful creative work. The final chapter follows this trajectory into direct artistic practices. Unlike many of the earlier iterations that sputter rather than comment fully on what such digital culture means, artist projects like Brad Troemel’s The Jogging mobilizes the LULZ to reflect on a network of technology obsessed with speed, time, identity, and representations. -
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.

Ticket: # 1282269
_____________________________________________________________________________ Ticket: # 1282269 - Blocking of Service Date: 10/22/2016 6:49:12 PM City/State/Zip: Arcata, California 95521 Company Complaining About: Sudden Link _____________________________________________________________________________ Description My service has been completely restricted to a single Sudden Link webpage (attached image) asking me to address a copyrighted material that they believe was downloaded over my service. I believe this action to be in violation of FCC rules and in no way necessary as they have multiple means of contacting me about this issue. They have my phone number, email address and home address for traditional mail. Cutting off service in order to deliver a message is in no way OK with the number of ways they could reach me available. _____________________________________________________________________________ Ticket: # 1282419 - Comcast still refuses to Activate HOB Go on PlayStation 4, in effort to make you use there Set top box. Date: 10/22/2016 10:34:46 PM City/State/Zip: Palatine, Illinois 60074 Company Complaining About: Comcast _____________________________________________________________________________ Description I am a Comcast Cable and Internet Customer. I use a cablecard device and rent none of Comcast equipment. As part of my HBO subcription I have access to HBO Go which is a internet based on demand service provided by HBO for HBO subscribers. Cable companies like Comcast must authenticate your subscriber in order to use the service on the device you want to use it on. Comcast refuses to authenticate devices access from Playstation's and it feels they are trying to force cablecard customers like myself into their set top boxes for the re on demand solutions when I do not wish to use.
