In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power to that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared.” – J. K. Rowling “We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry.” – Maria Mitchell “Knowledge once gained casts a light beyond its own immediate boundaries.” – John Tyndall “As to Bell's talking telegraph, it only creates interest in scientific circles... its commercial values will be limited.” – Elisha Gray “One of the problems with posing a 'bold new plan' is that you can't just extrapolate from previous plans.” – Nathan Myhrvold VIDEO(S) OF THE WEEK Our Favorite Fictional Female Scientists Science Goes to the Movies Computer

    Activists confront Japanese over whale kill 18 February 2013 "Is this Australian territory or not? If it is, then come down and exert some kind of authority," Hansen said. "In the past there were Patagonian toothfish operators down there, illegal poachers from Uruguay, the Customs vessel chased them all over the Southern Ocean, arrested them and confiscated their vessel." Japan's whaling research ship the Nisshin Maru is pictured on December 28, 2012 leaving Innoshima island in Hiroshima prefecture for Southern Japan.

  • Model Commodities: Gender and Value in Contemporary Couture
    Model Commodities: Gender and Value in Contemporary Couture By Xiaoyu Elena Wang A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Wendy L. Brown, Chair Professor Shannon C. Stimson Professor Ramona Naddaff Professor Julia Q. Bryan-Wilson Spring 2015 Abstract Model Commodities: Gender and Value in Contemporary Couture by Xiaoyu Elena Wang Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Wendy L. Brown, Chair Every January and June, the most exclusive and influential sector of the global apparel industry stages a series of runway shows in the high fashion, or, couture capitals of New York, Milan, London and Paris. This dissertation explores the production of material goods and cultural ideals in contemporary couture, drawing on scholarly and anecdotal accounts of the business of couture clothes as well as the business of couture models to understand the disquieting success of marketing luxury goods through bodies that appear to signify both extreme wealth and extreme privation. This dissertation argues that the contemporary couture industry idealizes a mode of violence that is unique in couture’s history. The industry’s shift of emphasis toward the mass market in the late 20th-century entailed divestments in the integrity of garment production and modeling employment. Contemporary couture clothes and models are promoted as high-value objects, belying however a material impoverishment that can be read from the models’ physiques and miens. 1 Table of Contents I.
