  • Feminism Discussion Around Death of Hugh Hefner
    Feminism Discussion on Twitter after Death of Hugh Hefner Claudia Alessandra Libbi 4th Year Project Report Cognitive Science School of Informatics University of Edinburgh 2019 3 Abstract Hugh Hefner - owner of the Playboy magazine and mansion - died in September 2017. His death drew a lot of media attention, since his lifestyle, values, legacy and role in society were highly controversial. While some saw him as a feminist and pioneer of female liberation, others believe that he contributed to the objectification of women by selling them as products. As a popular micro-blogging platform, Twitter provides a way to gain direct feedback from society and allows an estimation of the public response to events. This project provides quantitative and qualitative analysis of the data collection streamed from Twitter in the 10 days after his death. After filtering, the set contained about 460K Tweets related to Hugh Hefner. Using sampling and annotation techniques to get stance labels, it was possible to estimate that the majority of tweets, as well as users in the set had negative stances towards Hefner. The analysis also includes pop- ular topics discussed in relation to his lifestyle and death. The focus of this analysis lays on the opinion of feminist accounts and the main topics distinguishing Tweets supporting Hugh Hefner from those who criticize him. 4 Acknowledgements Instead of thanking anyone but myself for manually annotating approximately 3000 tweets in various languages (#oof my mistake), I want to share something more fun: When I was looking for readings and I came across Jon Ronson’s book ”So you’ve been publicly shamed” (which then someone recommended to me again, later) and felt that it was relevant to this research, so I borrowed it from the library and carried it around for any potential ’breaks’ I might want to spend reading for ’fun’.

Some of these flows (due to various reasons) are exceptionally powerful; people used to regard such places as sacred, blessing, lending power and lucid consciousness, in other words, helping to understand what the Earth tells us through its informative energetic field. This is why temples and shrines were founded there, and later churches were built as well as other centres of spiritual harmony. It is no accident, therefore, that the major temples of Vilnius – the Arch Cathedral and the Gate of Dawn (Aušros) – are situated at the intersections of these flows. Incidentally, they interact through the central axis of Vilnius Old Town (currently, Pilies, Did�iosios and Aušros vartu streets) connecting the Gate of Dawn, the feminine sanctuary of the Mother of God (Goddess), to the masculine Šventaragio Valley (currently, Cathedral Square). Thus, people have been attracted to settle here since long ago, for under the effect of these flows, abilities and wisdom open out in a human being, and they have been glorifying Vilnius since the old times. It is possible to feel the pulsating power of the Earth also here, in the Contemporary Art Centre: some flows rising from the depths stimulate life, and those returning help to understand information hidden in cosmos.

    ABORTION AND ANIMAL RIGHTS SHERRY F. COLB AND MICHAEL C. DORF BEATING HEARTS CRITICAL PERSPECTIVES ON ANIMALS: THEORY, CULTURE, SCIENCE, AND LAW CRITICAL PERSPECTIVES ON ANIMALS: THEORY, CULTURE, SCIENCE, AND LAW Series Editors: Gary L. Francione and Gary Steiner The emerging interdisciplinary field of animal studies seeks to shed light on the nature of animal experience and the moral status of animals in ways that overcome the limitations of traditional approaches. Recent work on animals has been characterized by an increasing recognition of the importance of crossing disciplinary boundaries and exploring the affini- ties as well as the differences among the approaches of fields such as philosophy, law, sociology, political theory, ethology, and literary studies to questions pertaining to animals. This recognition has brought with it an openness to rethinking the very terms of critical inquiry and the traditional assumptions about human being and its relationship to the animal world. The books published in this series seek to contribute to con- temporary reflections on the basic terms and methods of criti- cal inquiry by focusing on fundamental questions arising out of the relationships and confrontations between humans and nonhuman animals, and ultimately to enrich our appreciation of the nature and ethical significance of nonhuman animals by providing a forum for the interdisciplinary exploration of questions and problems that have traditionally been confined within narrowly circumscribed disciplinary boundaries.

  • Sexist Or Transgressive Animal Advocacy Campaign?
    H U M a N I M A L I A 1:1 Julie Urbanik “Hooters for Neuters”: Sexist or Tr ansgressive Animal Advocacy Campaign? “It’s sexist because it promotes the stereotypical role of women as sex objects.” — (Ellie) “Hooters for Neuters” is a phrase that will stick with me for a very, very long time which makes it a marketing dream come true. If a leftist-feminist-hippie-blue-state-liberal like me laughs out loud at that, then they did something right.” — (Kate) With over 400 locations in 42 states and 24 countries, the United States-based Hooters Restaurant chain has become incredibly successful during its 26 year history. It is a neighborhood-style bar/restaurant that features good food, lots of sports, and, the main attraction, scantily-clad “Hooters girls” servers. According to their website, the company believes the Hooters girls are as socially acceptable as a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader, a Sports Illustrated model, or a Radio City Rockette. The chain, however, has also attracted its share of critics for promoting stereotypes of women as sexual objects purely there to serve and entertain men — note the innuendo of the word hooters (aka breasts). The link between Hooters and animal advocacy via “Hooters for Neuters” campaigns first came to my attention through a letter published in Best Friends Magazine in 2006 by “Disgusted.” Best Friends Animal Sanctuary is one of the largest no-kill shelters in the United States and is located in Kanab, Utah. Disgusted was “disappointed that Best Friends, a very classy organization, would align itself with something as demeaning to women as the restaurant Hooters,” and argued that not only was Best Friends promoting misogyny, but also that Best Friends would probably not align with a business that promoted bigotry against other groups (e.g., African Americans) (Disgusted 43).
