  • Masculinity of Men Communicating Abuse Victimization
    Male Victimization 1 Running Head: MALE VICTIMIZATION Masculinity of Men Communicating Abuse Victimization Jessica J. Eckstein1, Ph.D. May 5th, 2010 Assistant Professor, Communication Department Western Connecticut State University 1 This paper is “in press” in the journal of Culture, Society, and Masculinities. The manuscript is based on an earlier version of the paper, “Constructing Gendered Victimization: Examining the Narratives of Men Experiencing Violence from Female Partners,” presented at the 2007 annual conference of National Communication Association, Chicago, IL. Male Victimization 2 Abstract This study explored, through in-depth interviews, the experiences of men sexually, psychologically, and/or physically victimized by female romantic partners. Men‟s narratives were analyzed to determine how masculinity and construction of victim-identities were related. Results show that abused men construed victimization as precipitated internally through self- blame and externally via societal-blame. Gendered masculinity was demonstrated for most men in the form of hegemonic-striving via complicit rationalizations; however, a minority of men constructed victimization in terms of protest masculinity. KEY WORDS: Masculinity, Hegemony, Intimate partner violence, Men, Victimization Male Victimization 3 Masculinity of Men Communicating Abuse Victimization Each year, 3.2 million men in the United States are victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) (Tjaden & Thoennes, 2000). Male IPV victimization, while not as common as female victimization, is a serious problem with its own set of identity issues for male victims. Unfortunately, men‟s victimization from female partners receives comparatively limited scholarly attention (George, 2003). The goal of this study was to explore, through in-depth interviews, male IPV victims‟ communication of gender identities.

    CARRETERAS PELIGROSAS Y LOCOS QUE CORTAN CABEZAS: DE UN CUENTO EN SÁNSCRITO DEL SIGLO XII A LA LEYENDA URBANA DE LA MUERTE DEL NOVIO José Manuel PEDROSA Universidad de Alcalá [email protected] Resumen: Análisis de relatos antiguos y modernos, orientales y occidentales, protagonizados por parejas de novios o de recién casados que, en caminos o carreteras apartadas, son asaltados por locos o por salvajes. Abstract: Analyse of folk narratives, old and modern, from Orient and from Occident, whose characters are young couples that are attacked by murdering men or savages in isolated ways and roads. Palabras clave: Cuento. Leyenda urbana. Oriente. Occidente. Loco. Salvaje. Key words: Narrative. Urban legend. Contemporary Legend. Orient. Occi- dent. Mad man. Savage. © UNED. Revista Signa 16 (2007), págs. 35-55 35 JOSÉ MANUEL PEDROSA Escritos por un tal Sivanasa, en sánscrito, al parecer en el siglo XII, los veinticinco relatos agrupados en el Vetalapañcavimshatika (o Baital-Pachisi: Los veinticinco cuentos de un Baital o de un Vampiro) se hacen eco, segura- mente, de tradiciones orales antiquísimas, y figuran entre las colecciones más importantes y célebres de viejos cuentos de la India. En Occidente son co- nocidos gracias, sobre todo, a la antología de once de ellos que publicó Sir Richard Burton (1821-1890) en 1870, con el título de Vikram and the Vam- pire, or Tales of Hindu Devilry (Vikram y el Vampiro, o cuentos acerca de la diablería hindú). Antes de atender a esta obra y al cuento que más nos interesa, hay que ad- vertir que Burton fue un sujeto más que curioso, que reunió en una sola per- sona las condiciones de explorador, etnólogo (fue cofundador de la Anthro- pological Society de Londres), militar, diplomático (cónsul en la actual Guinea Ecuatorial, en Brasil, en Damasco, en Trieste), escritor, lingüista, hip- notizador, y muchísimas más.

  • Urban Italian: Simple Recipes and True Stories from a Life in Food Free
    FREE URBAN ITALIAN: SIMPLE RECIPES AND TRUE STORIES FROM A LIFE IN FOOD PDF Andrew Carmellini,Gwen Hyman | 320 pages | 01 Nov 2008 | Bloomsbury Publishing PLC | 9781596914704 | English | New York, United States - Recipes, Food Ideas And Videos Ghost-less ghost stories, urban legends are modern day fairytales. Just as Little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks were spread by oral tradition, urban myths are spread by word of mouth, creating contemporary folklore, often with a moral sting in the tail. Let's face it, a sleepover isn't complete without at least one candlelit tale of terror. Much like traditional folklore, modern myths are embellished or altered as they are retold. Most are still told orally over marshmallows and hot chocolate but some are recorded. Many authors have retooled urban legends as inspiration for novels or movies. My new novel, Say Her Name is my version of the most famous urban legend of them all, the "Bloody Mary" curse. I'm far from alone, however. Here I present 10 of the scariest urban legends and examine their roots and influence. Perhaps the most famous modern myth, this tale suggests that if you are to look in the mirror and say "Bloody Mary" a specified number of times, something will happen. It's the what that legend disagrees on. In the earliest versions, an unmarried woman would see the face of her future husband in the glass or a skull if she were destined to die before being wed. This evolved into something more gory — groups invoking a bleeding spirit or witch called Mary.

  • Beyond AI: Multi-Intelligence (MI) Combining Natural and Artificial Intelligences in Hybrid Beings and Systems
    technologies Communication Beyond AI: Multi-Intelligence (MI) Combining Natural and Artificial Intelligences in Hybrid Beings and Systems Stephen Fox VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, 02044 Espoo, Finland; stephen.fox@vtt.fi; Tel.: +358-20-722-7070 Received: 2 May 2017; Accepted: 20 June 2017; Published: 22 June 2017 Abstract: Framing strongly influences actions among technology proponents and end-users. Underlying much debate about artificial intelligence (AI) are several fundamental shortcomings in its framing. First, discussion of AI is atheoretical, and therefore has limited potential for addressing the complexity of causation. Second, intelligence is considered from an anthropocentric perspective that sees human intelligence, and intelligence developed by humans, as superior to all other intelligences. Thus, the extensive post-anthropocentric research into intelligence is not given sufficient consideration. Third, AI is discussed often in reductionist mechanistic terms. Rather than in organicist emergentist terms as a contributor to multi-intelligence (MI) hybrid beings and/or systems. Thus, current framing of AI can be a self-validating reduction within which AI development is focused upon AI becoming the single-variable mechanism causing future effects. In this paper, AI is reframed as a contributor to MI. Keywords: artificial intelligence (AI); Asilomar AI principles; framing; intelligence; multi-intelligence (MI) hybrid beings and systems; post-anthropocentric 1. Introduction The future of artificial intelligence (AI) is a topic of much debate, including opinions from tech leaders and eminent professors that AI can be an existential threat to humanity [1]. However, the framing of much of the debate about AI is narrow and overlooks the potential for multi-intelligence (MI).

He was in South America on business and decided to unwind in the hotel bar after a long day of meetings. He remembers sipping a mojito at the bar while chatting with some locals--and then waking up the next morning in his hotel bathtub covered in ice. For decades, urban legends have paired Halloween treats and razor blades, needles, He called the authorities, who rushed him to a local hospital. And poison. They prey on common there, he found out one of his kidneys had been removed! 'stranger danger' fears. Can you believe that? Well, sort of. That tiny bit of believability--after all, surgeons remove kidneys all the time, albeit usually with the donor's permission--is what makes the tale an enduring urban legend. And a scary one at that. "The things that make urban legends last, it's the emotional impact and the plausibility," said David Emery, who writes about urban myths for About.com. "If it's just believable enough, people buy into it, and if people buy into it, they're likely to tell it." The kidney-theft myth has been circulating on the Internet for at least 10 years, but has probably been around longer than that.
