April 14, 2014 iii Abstract THE TOOL/MAKER: THE BIRD, THE CAGE, THE RADIO, THE SEA, THE ROCK, THE EYE, THE SPACE Johnny A. Stein, PhD The University of Texas at Arlington, 2014 Supervising Professor: James Warren As street politics began to operate academically after the civil rights eras, academic turns toward socio-constructive theories dominated critical philosophies of the subsequent eighties and nineties (especially in the West). This paper examines the linguistic turn in light of a New Digital World Millennium that is the continuation of the Rise of Science that emerged in the 17th century. Material voices that were overshadowed by linguistic or terministically-centered philosophies are today more than ever emergent through tool use. The wireless revolution of the late 19th century has today created technological tools at hand that are deeply impressing the human being-in-the-world, rapidly shaking up the place of homo sapiens in the cosmos. Robotic technologies today have the capacity to taste fine wine and food, disseminate information by hive-minds, fuse with our material flesh, and have taken on faculties of speech and learning. Humans iv are the makers of such tools and all of them are made to overcome material constraint. Considering such rapid technological innovation and new material interlocutions, I argue that a return to the beginnings of the Academy is necessary because they had already always acknowledged material voice and mystical (oracular/prophetic/irrational) impressions until the rise of Socratism. A return to the tools left behind by Science is necessary because it is the method by which to access (speak about) such mystical machinations brought forth through material tool use. This paper will revisit ancient methods with a new eye to the constraints of the material world and the tools used to overcome them. v Table of Contents Acknowledgements………………………………………………………………………….iii Abstract…………………………………………………………………………………….…iv Chapter 1.

Current thinkers who deal with objects seem to be operating in two directions. In one direction are those who are considered “Object-oriented Ontologists (OOO)” such as Graham Harmon, Levi Bryant (who re-coined Harmon’s identification of the movement, Ian Bogost (the video game designer), and the medievalists Jeffrey Jerome Cohen (who examines objects as paradoxically alien and intimate with humans). I wish to acknowledge their contributions to current thought but I will be mostly interactive with feminist, post-humanist, and new materialist “patterns of thought.” A tenet of most OOO- oriented thought is that the world is machine-like in which everything has its place. Relata exist autonomously for object-oriented ontologies, which is antithetical to my arguments on these grounds. Rather, I aim to support other patterns of emerging thought such as the new materialisms, actor network theorists (ANTs), post-humanists, border theorists, and other theorists such as feminist studies or critical race studies. I draw upon these because for many of them, relata cannot exist independently. Matter and meaning are mutually articulated. Objects and meaning emerge together. In the support of such new post-humanistic, connective directions, then, I will articulate my own contributions. I will be advocating a return to Ancient ideologies and methods1 because it was they who had experienced a great split between the opposing poles of Apollo and Dionysus. The rise of reason stamps out natural drive and intuitive wills. These moves I will outline in the next chapter as well as outline the crisis in philosophical thought as a result of the linguistic 1 By “ancients,” I mean primarily the roots of rhetoric, which began in Ancient Greece with the pre- Socratics. The rise of the city and the rise of democracy and the rise of rhetoric and of knowledge- building are one and the same. I will be telling that story throughout these grounds. 1 turn. After, docility and social constructionisms set a stage whereby notions of resistance, freedom, and change became impossible. I will use such analysis to demonstrate a new way of thinking about things-in-the-world is critically needed. I also will be locating a great shift in thinking that has been brought about by the advent of wireless technology in the late 19th century, the time in which Friedrich Nietzsche was writing. I agree with Nietzsche’s solution to the changes I will be highlighting and offer a very specific sort of Cyborg figure in the final chapters that is metaphysical and naturist, one that is consistent in overcoming; that is why tools are of so much import. I will use Nietzschean methodology as well as conduct a short genealogy of the performative prescription antagonized with the material body in chapter 3. I will lastly indicate that every tool is made to overcome a lack or a loss and no tool exists that that is not forged in such a capacity. As such, tools are made to overcome. They are made to be used. Therefore, chapters four and five will specifically identify the nature of tool use and explain how that use sets a post-humanistic philosophical stage. Unlike object-oriented ontologists and their machine world, I aim to show that the world is utterly and intimately connective. Science and its method should be commensurate with connectivity as that has been the case for thousands of years. To prove that point, I will be consistently and consciously referring to the patterns of thought that began with the Ancients. Since then, new scientific investigations, wireless technologies, and innovations in cutting edge physics are all pointing back to where Eastern mystics and Western patterns of thought have been pointing for thousands of years: all that is-is connected. New wireless innovations allow for a new Cyborg figure that is predicated on Nietzschean terms and allows not only attention to parts operating with wholes but also allows for greater freedom of movement and resistance. I will build this Cyborg figure after the Zarathustrian tradition of individual and collective Wills. The preceding statements are my arguments on these grounds. 2 I’ll begin with the changes that were occurring in the late 19th century when a Scottish physicist, James Clerk Maxwell, formulated a series of mathematical equations that essentially fused electricity, magnetism, and optics (the eye). The results: the electromagnetic field. Maxwell showed three separate parts to be disparate manifestations of the same thing.

  • Brief History of Electronic and Computer Musical Instruments
    Brief History of Electronic and Computer Musical Instruments Roman Kogan April 15th, 2008 1 Theremin: the birth of electronic music It is impossible to speak of electronic music and not speak of Theremin (remember that high-pitch melody sound sound in Good Vibrations ?) Theremin was the instrument that has started it all. Invented remarkably early - around 1917 - in Russia by Leon Termen (or Theremin, spelling varies) it was the first practical (and portable) electronic music instrument, and also the one that brought the electronic sound to the masses (see [27]). It was preceded by Thelarmonium, a multi-ton monstrocity that never really get a lot of attention (although technically very innovative, see [25]), and some other instruments that fell into obscurity. On the other hand, Leon Theremin got popular well beyond the Soviet Union (where even Lenin got to play his instrument once!). He became a star in the US and taught a generation of Theremin players, Clara Rockmore being the most famous one. In fact, RCA even manufactured Theremins under Leon's design in 1929 ( [27])!. So what was this instrument ? It was a box with two antennas that produced continuous, high-pitch sounds. The performer would approach the instrument and wave hands around the antennas to play it. The distance to the right (vertical) antenna would change the pitch, while the distance to the left (horizontal) antenna would change the volume of the sound (see [2], [3] for more technical details). The Theremin is difficult to play, since, like on violin, the notes and the volume are not quantized (the change in pitch is continuous).

Kabay, PhD, CISSP WELCOME Welcome to the 2005 edition of the Information Security Year in Review (IYIR) project. In 1993 and 1994, I was an adjunct professor in the Institute for Government Informatics Professionals in Ottawa, Canada under the aegis of the University of Ottawa. I taught a one-semester course introducting information security to government personnel and enjoyed the experience immensely. Many of the chapters of my 1996 textbook, _The NCSA Guide to Enterprise Security_ published by McGraw-Hill were field-tested by my students. In 1995, I was asked if I could run a seminar for graduates of my courses to bring them up to date on developments across the entire field of information security. Our course had twenty students and I so enjoyed it that I continued to develop the material and teach the course with the NCSA (National Computer Security Association; later called ICSA and then eventually renamed TruSecure Corporation and finally CyberTrust, its current name) all over the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and the Caribbean. After a few years of working on this project, it became obvious that saving abstracts in a WordPerfect file was not going to cut it as an orderly method for organizing the increasing mass of information that I was encountering in my research.

If you’re stabbing in the dark when putting together your Rails apps’ views, The Rails View provides a big confidence boost and shows how to get things done the right way. ➤ Peter Cooper Editor, Ruby Inside and Ruby Weekly The Rails view layer has always been a morass, but this book reins it in with details of how to build views as software, not just as markup. This book represents the wisdom gained from years’ worth of building maintainable interfaces by two of the best and brightest minds in our business. I have been writing Ruby code for over a decade and Rails code since its inception, and out of all the Ruby books I’ve read, I value this one the most.

  • Media Ecologies: Materialist Energies in Art and Technoculture, Matthew Fuller, 2005 Media Ecologies
    M796883front.qxd 8/1/05 11:15 AM Page 1 Media Ecologies Media Ecologies Materialist Energies in Art and Technoculture Matthew Fuller In Media Ecologies, Matthew Fuller asks what happens when media systems interact. Complex objects such as media systems—understood here as processes, or ele- ments in a composition as much as “things”—have become informational as much as physical, but without losing any of their fundamental materiality. Fuller looks at this multi- plicitous materiality—how it can be sensed, made use of, and how it makes other possibilities tangible. He investi- gates the ways the different qualities in media systems can be said to mix and interrelate, and, as he writes, “to produce patterns, dangers, and potentials.” Fuller draws on texts by Félix Guattari and Gilles Deleuze, as well as writings by Friedrich Nietzsche, Marshall McLuhan, Donna Haraway, Friedrich Kittler, and others, to define and extend the idea of “media ecology.” Arguing that the only way to find out about what happens new media/technology when media systems interact is to carry out such interac- tions, Fuller traces a series of media ecologies—“taking every path in a labyrinth simultaneously,” as he describes one chapter. He looks at contemporary London-based pirate radio and its interweaving of high- and low-tech “Media Ecologies offers an exciting first map of the mutational body of media systems; the “medial will to power” illustrated by analog and digital media technologies. Fuller rethinks the generation and “the camera that ate itself”; how, as seen in a range of interaction of media by connecting the ethical and aesthetic dimensions compelling interpretations of new media works, the capac- of perception.” ities and behaviors of media objects are affected when —Luciana Parisi, Leader, MA Program in Cybernetic Culture, University of they are in “abnormal” relationships with other objects; East London and each step in a sequence of Web pages, Cctv—world wide watch, that encourages viewers to report crimes seen Media Ecologies via webcams.
