  • Classmate Biographies
    CLASSMATE BIOGRAPHIES 38 David Jeffrey Abeshouse Course: VIII Tell us about your recollections of your student years at MIT: I lived in Student House, which is essentially on the B.U. campus. If I recall correctly, it was a mile walk to MIT. That walk, in all kinds of weather, is one of my strongest, if not favorable, memories of my years there. Unless something unusual happened, I made the round trip just once a day. Student House is near Kenmore Square and Fenway Park. The gates to Fenway would open in the sixth inning then, and there were mostly afternoon games, so we would go up to the park occasionally to see, for free, the last three innings. We saw Ted Williams regularly. Student House was also next to the Charles, and it was fun to go down near the river in pleasant weather. I struggled to survive academically, but I did it. I don't remember the name of the professor who lectured our freshman chemistry course, but he spoke in a monotone, and I fell asleep practically every time. I finally went to a different lecture section. I have a poor sense of direction and was regularly lost around the campus and often rushing to get to class. Once in my sophomore year I was rushing and rounded a corner and almost flattened Norbert Wiener. He had a large abdomen, and, from my point of view, the collision was soft. The work on my senior paper was done in building 20. That was a fine place to spend a lot of time.

  • Surveillance and Popular Culture II the New Surveillance in Visual Imagery
    Marx, Windows Into the Soul: Surveillance and Popular Culture, Chapter B Surveillance and Popular Culture II The New Surveillance in Visual Imagery Oh say can you see.... Francis Scott Key It's too bad for us 'literary' enthusiasts, but it's the truth nevertheless - pictures tell any story more effectively than words. W. Marston Moulton, Creator of Wonder Woman and Pioneer Inventor of the Polygraph This chapter continues considerations of popular culture and surveillance by looking at images and ideas seen in humor, illustrations, advertisements and art. It concludes with a consideration of some broader implications of surveillance messages. Some images are shown in the text and still others are at http://web.mit.edu/gtmarx/www/surv images.htm and in the supplementary material on children (Ch. 8) at http://press.uchicago.edu/sites/marx/ Humor Every joke is a small revolution. George Orwell I identify four types of surveillance humor: accommodation, machine-human frame breaks, dystopias, and reversals. The accommodation theme involves routinizing and folding into everyday activities new (and sometimes shocking) devices. The technology is domesticated and made familiar through its association with commonplace activities. It may serve as a functional alternative to traditional means with the cartoon for “Joe’s” in chapter 2 which offers various forms of assessment (loyalty, cholesterol) are at the familiar drive-thru business. With machine-human frame breaks technologies, humans, or animals “act” like each other and cross the boundaries of what is conventionally expected of their type. The humor lies in the juxtaposition of things we "know" that don't go together.

  • Program in Science, Technology, and Society, Report to the President
    Program in Science, Technology, and Society The Program in Science, Technology, and Society (STS) helps MIT offer an education that teaches scientists and engineers to engage the social and cultural dimensions of their work at the highest levels. This education sets MIT apart from the numerous engineering schools worldwide that turn out technical specialists. The STS Program continues to distinguish itself as the leading department, and graduate program, of its kind in the United States. Educational Activities Undergraduate In academic year 2017, 82 students from 22 different majors were active STS concentrators. Three students (two in Course 20 and one in Course 3) worked on their minor in STS and Thomas Cowan completed a double major in STS. Thomas’s thesis, “Network Control in a Globalized World: How Visa and Swift’s Founding Structures Serve Their Stakeholders on the International Stage,” was supervised by Assistant Professor William Deringer. Three students worked with us on Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) projects. Professor Emeritus Louis Bucciarelli supervised two students who worked on engineering studies projects, and a freshman who is planning to double major in STS worked on her project, “Popular Science and Science Fiction Fan Cultures of the 1890s,” with Professor Rosalind Williams. Deringer served as STS’s undergraduate officer this year and worked with Williams on the STS Curriculum Committee to identify areas of strength and areas for improvement in the curriculum. The committee researched STS programs beyond MIT, interviewed faculty and students, and presented findings at the end of the year at an STS faculty meeting. A forthcoming report will provide recommendations for future implementation; most immediately we implemented a change to our minor and major programs by replacing subject STS.091 Critical Issues in STS with STS.004 Intersections: Science, Technology, and the World.

  • Posthumans and Democracy in Popular Culture
    Posthumans and Democracy in Popular Culture James J. Hughes PhD A version of this paper is forthcoming in Handbook of Posthumanism in Film and Television . Eds. Michael Hauskeller, Thomas D. Philbeck, Curtis Carbonell. Palgrave MacMillan. INTRODUCTION Harry Potter is an anti-racist freedom fighter both in fiction and in the real world. Throughout the Potter novels we are drawn to sympathize with oppressed racial minorities – elves, centaurs, werewolves, half-giants, mud-bloods – and to fear and despise fascist Deatheaters intent on exterminating all non-pure- bloods. (Barratt, 2012). The Potter narrative has had demonstrable social impact, reinforcing tolerance and democratic values in its readers. In Harry Potter and the Millennials (Gierzynski , 2013) Anthony Gierzynski pulls together multiple lines of evidence to argue that the generation of American youth that grew up identifying with Harry Potter’s struggles against racism and fascism have become more anti- racist and Democratic as a consequence. In an analysis of three studies of the effect of reading Harry Potter on political attitudes in the UK and Italy (Vezzali, et al., 2014) researchers concluded that the degree to which the readers identified with Potter was a predictor of the influence of the Potter narratives on readers’ empathy with immigrants, refugees and homosexuals. Popular culture both reflects and shapes political culture. The depiction of the posthuman in popular culture is therefore not only a running commentary on the political concerns of the time, with posthumans as stand-ins for everything from Communists to immigrants, but also a potent shaper of attitudes towards extant and future varieties of humanity.

  • Writing Against MIT Culture
    Caroline Rubin 21A.112 Helmreich Final Paper May 10, 2008 Writing Against MIT Culture "Maybe we need to educate these East Campus freaks that their isolation from the rest of the world ends when they leave campus... freaks...

No hair dye, crossdressing, and trying to push free speech to the limit..." - MIT student Mario Zunino, email to dorm discussion list, September 21, 2008 On September 21, 2008, MIT sophomore Star Simpson walked into Boston©s Logan airport wearing several LEDs on a circuit board and a battery pinned to her sweatshirt. She was promptly surrounded by armed policemen, arrested, and is currently awaiting trial for charges of disorderly conduct and possession of a hoax device (Brett 2007). What ensued in the days and weeks following the incident was a heated debate about Simpson©s explanation that her sweatshirt was simply wearable electronic ªart,” with her detractors arguing that her actions were malicious and indefensible (e.g. McPhee 2007) and her supporters that they were perfectly normal within the context of ªMIT culture” (e.g. Csikszentmihalyi 2007). But what exactly is ªMIT cultureº? As the above email excerpt makes clear, the question is contentious even within the MIT student population itself. Lauded for promoting virtues from scientific genius to entrepreneurship, and blamed for causing problems from stifled creativity to student suicides, ªMIT culture” is used to corral the nebulous sense that MIT©s inhabitants are somehow ªother” into one coherent catchphrase.
