Garrett 3 Joshua W. Garrett December 13, 20 16 Critical Introduction Introduction to Neon Calico My novel, Neon Calico, is a cyberpunk story, but what is cyberpunk? Popularized by Ridley Scott's Blade Runner in 1982 and William Gibson's Neuromancer in 1984, the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction defines the genre of cyberpunk as: a school of sf [Science/Speculative Fiction] writing that developed and became popular during the 1980s ... The "cyber" part of the word relates to Cybernetics: to a future where industrial and political blocs may be global rather than national, and controlled through information networks; a future in which machine augmentations of the human body are commonplace, as are mind and body changes brought about by drugs and biological engineering ... The "punk" part of the word comes from the rock'n'roll terminology of the 1970s, "punk" meaning in this context young, streetwise, aggressive, alienated and offensive to the Establishment. A punk disillusion, often multiple - with progressive layers of illusion being peeled away - is a major component of these works. (SFE: Cyberpunk) In this definition we see the breakdown of the term into "cyber" and "punk," illustrating how the genre has earned its reputation as a futurist, anti-establishment form of literature with its roots tied to the more anarchic sub-cultures of the 70s and 80s. Claire Sponsler, a professor of English at Iowa State, further defines cyberpunk as, "A fusion of high-tech Garrett 4 and punk counterculture characterized by a self-conscious stylistic and ideological rebelliousness[; ]cyberpunk can perhaps best be defined as a reinterpretation of human experience in a media-dominated, information-saturated, post-industrial age" (251). Often holding on to its 80s punk roots, supplanting them into a futuristic setting, cyberpunk fiction has an established sense of itself that is wholly its own, such as pink Mohawks and black leather clashing against artificial chrome limbs and the neon lights of high-rise towers. As a child of the 80s and early 90s, I have always found myself drawn to this genre. Elements within it seem familiar to me, contrasted with other elements that seem so entirely alien, which make cyberpunk a very appealing genre in which to explore. Neon Calico is a novel in the genre of cyberpunk. It explores themes of loss, sexuality, and trans-humanism as the protagonist, a young Asian-American woman who goes by the alias "Calico," struggles to cope with the loss of her former boyfriend, with an emerging sexual attraction to a friend of the same sex. Neon Calico is also the story of a cyborg, a being that Donna Haraway describes as "a cybernetic organism, a hybrid of machine and organism, a creature of social reality as well as a creature of fiction" ( 149) in her essay "The Cyborg Manifesto," and as such Calico must also struggle with feelings of disconnectedness complicated by a loss of humanity brought on by her continually improving her own physical body through cybernetic implants and augmentation. Told in the first person from Calico's point-of-view, Neon Calico offers its readers a glance into the life of someone dealing with many issues that mirror many of the same issues that we are facing in our modern society such as social disassociation, racial and sexual biases, Garrett 5 and the feeling of being constantly overwhelmed by rapid technological advancements. I first became aware of the genre of cyberpunk when a friend of mine brought over the animated film Ghost in the Shell ( 1995). I was thirteen at the time and didn't fully comprehend the greater narrative that surrounds the piece. The film poses the question of what it means to be human and of whether an artificially created sentient being could actually possess what we might call a soul. Throughout the years, my appreciation for the film, and the genre as a whole, has grown, and so has my realization that much of the cyberpunk genre has needlessly come to be defined by that one, singular narrative question: "What does it mean to be human?" While this is not an unimportant question to ask, it's repetition does not give us clarity. My goal with Neon Calico is to take well-established themes in cyberpunk fiction and re-introduce them from my own perspective, that of a feminist male writer. We often read and critique as if writing a character very different from oneself is difficult. But in doing so, I feel that we are failing to fully explore the vast world of possibilities that can exist for writers.

  • Mirrorshade Women: Feminism and Cyberpunk
    Mirrorshade Women: Feminism and Cyberpunk at the Turn of the Twenty-first Century Carlen Lavigne McGill University, Montréal Department of Art History and Communication Studies February 2008 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communication Studies © Carlen Lavigne 2008 2 Abstract This study analyzes works of cyberpunk literature written between 1981 and 2005, and positions women’s cyberpunk as part of a larger cultural discussion of feminist issues. It traces the origins of the genre, reviews critical reactions, and subsequently outlines the ways in which women’s cyberpunk altered genre conventions in order to advance specifically feminist points of view. Novels are examined within their historical contexts; their content is compared to broader trends and controversies within contemporary feminism, and their themes are revealed to be visible reflections of feminist discourse at the end of the twentieth century. The study will ultimately make a case for the treatment of feminist cyberpunk as a unique vehicle for the examination of contemporary women’s issues, and for the analysis of feminist science fiction as a complex source of political ideas. Cette étude fait l’analyse d’ouvrages de littérature cyberpunk écrits entre 1981 et 2005, et situe la littérature féminine cyberpunk dans le contexte d’une discussion culturelle plus vaste des questions féministes. Elle établit les origines du genre, analyse les réactions culturelles et, par la suite, donne un aperçu des différentes manières dont la littérature féminine cyberpunk a transformé les usages du genre afin de promouvoir en particulier le point de vue féministe.

Prioritizing Justice proposes institutional reform at the Department of Justice (DOJ) in pursuing corporate crime. Presently, corporate crime is pursued nationally primarily through the DOJ Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force and other task forces, the DOJ Criminal Division Fraud Section, and the individual U.S. Attorneys‘ Offices. Rather than a collection of ad hoc task forces that seek to coordinate policy among a vast array of offices and agencies, a Corporate Crimes Division should be

  • Stock Market Capitalism: an Historical Perspective for the Two Decades Pre- and Post- 1980
    Stock Market Capitalism: An Historical Perspective for the Two Decades Pre- and Post- 1980 Stakeholder Capitalism is surpassed by the Anglo-American style of Corporate Governance driven by the maxim of Shareholder Value Ümran DEMİRÖRS* October 19, 2017-İstanbul ABSTRACT This study analyzes the historical transformation of the “Modern Corporation” expounded by Berle and Means in the early 20th century for the two decades pre-and post-1980. The 80s made an indelible mark on the behavior of Households together with Corporate Managers and Institutional Money Managers toward the risk of holding stocks due to changing economic, political and regulatory settings, hence affecting “Corporate Governance”. The Modern Corporation in the pre-1980 period was envisaged to be a social institution managed by so-called benevolent, elite, managers in a corporate system of consensual decision making called “Stakeholder Capitalism”. In the ensuing decades of the post-1980 period after the Reagan administration’s drastic changes in economic, political and regulatory settings, the Modern Corporation transformed into a lean but over-valued “Contemporary Corporation” of “Stock Market * Dr. © Sosyal Siyaset Konferansları / Journal of Social Policy Conferences Sayı / Issue: 73 – 2017/2, 161-184 http://dergipark.gov.tr/iusskd 162 Ümran DEMİRÖRS Capitalism”, emboldened with the maxim of “Shareholder Value”. Interestingly, this over- valuation of stocks has resulted in the growth in Households wealth in equity holdings outperforming the growth in National Income, becoming an automatic stabilizer of Household Sector consumption patterns. In the following pages, developments in the Modern Corporation and its premises will be discussed thoroughly and some policy conclusions affected by this outstanding growth in Household Sector wealth will be drawn.

  • Letras Hispanas Volume 8.1, Spring 2012
    Letras Hispanas Volume 8.1, Spring 2012 TITLE: Driving Toward Heterotopias: Taxis and Taxistas in Contemporary Chilean Cinema AUTHOR: Laura Senio Blair AFFILIATION: Sothwestern University ABSTRACT: Throughout the history of representing the vehicle in Hollywood Cinema, the taxi and its driver stand as some of film’s most enigmatic symbols of America’s urban landscape and working-class characters. Within Chilean cinema specifically, experiencing during the first decade of the 21st century a revitalization called by some asel nuevo cine chileno, a study of the representations of taxis and taxistas, evidenced in Taxi para tres/ Taxi for Three (2001) by Orlando Lübbert and El rey de los huevones/ The King of Idiots (2006) by Boris Quercia offers opportunities to comment upon the vehicles by which city space is negoti- ated and to examine the socio-economic contradictions present in contemporary Chile. In this way, the presentation of the taxi and its driver in Chilean film appropriates theTaxi Driver (Scorsese 1976) formula related to the failure of a capitalist system that places the driver in opposition to those who have already been disenfranchised, working as hetero- topic metaphors for the growing urban consciousness of middle-class Chileans that futilely navigate the economic and social identities presented by a failed neoliberal system. KEYWORDS: Taxi, neoliberal, heterotopia, Chile, film, middle-class RESUMEN: Tras la historia de representar los vehículos en el cine de Hollywood, el taxi y el taxista representan algunos de los símbolos
