Missionary feminism
开云体育When people think of feminism, they often think of a single movement, a universal sisterhood committed to the understanding that if one woman is oppressed, all are oppressed. But feminism – in universalist mode – can help to oppress the very people it seeks to liberate. Feminist arguments in the West have been used to advance imperialist projects that inflict suffering on women in Iraq and Afghanistan. And the Western feminist focus on individual rights can be disastrous when played out in non-Western contexts. Is it time to rethink “missionary feminism”?

The sense of political belonging formed by and essential to common struggle
Jodi Dean, author of Comrade, on the sense of political belonging formed by and essential to common struggle When people say “comrade,” they change the world In the twentieth century, millions of people across the globe addressed each other as “comrade.” Now, among the left, it’s more common to hear talk of “allies.” In Comrade, Jodi Dean insists that this shift exemplifies the key problem with the contemporary left: the substitution of political identity for a relationship of political belonging that must be built, sustained, and defended. Dean offers a theory of the comrade. Comrades are equals on the same side of a political struggle. Voluntarily coming together in the struggle for justice, their relationship is characterized by discipline, joy, courage, and enthusiasm. Considering the egalitarianism of the comrade in light of differences of race and gender, Dean draws from an array of historical and literary examples such as Harry Haywood, C.L.R. James, Alexandra Kollontai, and Doris Lessing. She argues that if we are to be a left at all, we have to be comrades.

Science fiction predicts the future of work
Science fiction has a legion of fans. You may not be one of them but those futuristic ideas have a life of their own. Many of the gadgets we now use and the social challenges of technology were first imagined by science fiction writers So what does science fiction say about the future of work?

User information for the Augmented Conversation application
The Augmented Conversation application solves this problem:
Persons in face-to-face groups typically organize their conversation without centralized control. However, when group size increases, a chairperson is often selected in order to ensure that only one person speaks at a time. Formal management is more common in teleconferencing environments, because the back channel “body language” is reduced or absent. The problem we aim to solve is the loss of free discussion that typically occurs as groups increase in size or when they have remote members. Our solution aims to maintain the natural flow of conversation even when discussion is electronically mediated and when members can't see each other. This requires automatically resolving conflicts over speaking order and isolation of users from environmental noise. Ideally, users wearing headphones will move smoothly from a face-to-face small group communication situation to one in which there are a large number of users that can't see each other. The most groundbreaking things about the application: The Stanford University experiments showed that teams working in the telecommunication settings made better decisions, enjoyed themselves more, experienced less frustration, and viewed their teams' decisions more favorably as compared to face-to-face groups. All previous research had found that teleconferencing yields either inferior performance or less satisfaction with meetings. This solution is one element of a comprehensive meeting management framework. The solution ensures that meetings proceed in a mutually acceptable manner. That is, it makes sure that individuals do not speak out of turn or try to dominate a discussion. We plan to add a contractual element to the framework by using code for arranging meetings that was made open source at our request: One reason for using this meeting arrangement software is to ensure that people agree in advance to structure the dialogue process with MyTurn - the conflict resolving system. Another is to ensure that noncooperative individuals - those tending to speak out of turn - will be identifiable prior to a potential meeting. History and status: A laboratory proven rule system for allocating turns to speakers yields superior emotional tone, better learning, and improved performance compared to standard facilitation methods. The experiments were performed at the University of California, Irvine and at Stanford University: A web application for computers: For cellphones and other devices capable of producing vibration: David Stodolsky, PhD Institute for Social Informatics Tornskadestien 2, st. th., DK-2400 Copenhagen NV, Denmark dss@...

The second “Assembly of Assemblies” of the Yellow Vests
Early last month, between April 5-7, the Gilets Jaunes (Yellow Vests) organized a second “Assembly of Assemblies” in , following the first such meeting in
back in January. The following article is a partial report-back on
these meetings, offering an enthusiastic, albeit ambivalent, assessment.
When “limits” and “disappointments” are mentioned, the author considers
them despite everything as being part of a long process: “democracy
must be conceived as a painful learning process”. David Stodolsky, PhD ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Institute for Social Informatics Tornskadestien 2, st. th.,?DK-2400 Copenhagen NV, Denmark dss@...? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Tel./Viber +45 3095 4070 |
