In the medium of literature, conditions of possibility for the production of relevant and reliable knowledge on the basis of data are subject to analysis and critique. Basic operations of data processing have proven to be fallible and corrupted by media, which, instead of reducing complexity, deepen it. In contradistinction to the trust that reduces this complexity, The Duel performs an epistemology of mistrust, which insists on the polyvalence, dubiousness, agility, and ephemerality of the data from which truth is supposed to appear.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/37531869" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="8caebb6cbebaa73ea8ad48699d28208c" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":57505417,"asset_id":37531869,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/57505417/download_file?st=MTc0MDQ4MDkzMyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="90240877" href="https://independent.academia.edu/JeannieMoser">Jeannie Moser</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="90240877" type="text/json">{"id":90240877,"first_name":"Jeannie","last_name":"Moser","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"JeannieMoser","display_name":"Jeannie Moser","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/JeannieMoser?f_ri=54330","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/90240877/20631699/20231905/s65_jeannie.moser.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_37531869 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="37531869"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 37531869, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_37531869", });

However, the matter is more complicated than a simple declaration that utopias provide a vehicle for totalitarian fantasy, that totalitarian governments inevitably portray themselves as creating a utopia. While today's readers, at a comfortable distance from the early sixteenth century, may bridle at the lack of privacy, or at the ideological coerciveness in More's Utopia, that does not eradicate how, in Walter Kendrick's words, " what for us are problems are for them solutions. " it can be argued that the negative elements are a response to social ills. The same goes for Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and Dave Eggers's The Circle. While the negatives in all three fictions undermine or put into question the positives, our realization that the authors also intended the negatives as genuine attempts at resolving genuine problems that cause untold misery invites us to complicate our judgments. The undermining is itself undermined. L'idée d'un gouvernement parfait (ou « meilleur » pour reprendre l' expression même de More), de son apparition dans la République de Platon jusqu' à son renouveau dans l'Utopie de Thomas More, a été traquée et mise à profit par les partisans de l'hypocrisie, de la contradiction et de l' autoritarisme. Toutefois, la question est plus complexe que la simple affirmation qui voudrait que les utopies favorisent les phantasmes totalitaires, ou que les gouvernements totalitaires se présentent inévitablement comme la réalisation d'une utopie. Ces éléments négatifs répondent en fait souvent à de véritables problèmes sociaux, et, bien que le lecteur d' aujourd'hui, dans la confortable distance qui le sépare du début du XVIe siècle, puisse s'indigner du manque de vie privée et de l'intransigeance idéologique de l'Utopie de More, cela ne change pas le fait que, pour emprunter la formule de Walter Kendrick, « ce qui pour nous sont des problèmes, sont pour eux des solutions ». Il en va de même pour le Brave New World de Aldous Huxley et The Circle de Daver Egger. Alors que les aspects négatifs dans ces trois fictions compromettent leurs aspects positifs, le fait de reconnaître que ces auteurs, par ces moyens discutables, ont sincèrement tenté de régler de vrais problèmes entraînant des misères infinies, amène le lecteur d' aujourd'hui à nuancer ses jugements.

However, the matter is more complicated than a simple declaration that utopias provide a vehicle for totalitarian fantasy, that totalitarian governments inevitably portray themselves as creating a utopia. While today's readers, at a comfortable distance from the early sixteenth century, may bridle at the lack of privacy, or at the ideological coerciveness in More's Utopia, that does not eradicate how, in Walter Kendrick's words, \" what for us are problems are for them solutions. \" it can be argued that the negative elements are a response to social ills. The same goes for Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and Dave Eggers's The Circle. While the negatives in all three fictions undermine or put into question the positives, our realization that the authors also intended the negatives as genuine attempts at resolving genuine problems that cause untold misery invites us to complicate our judgments. The undermining is itself undermined. L'idée d'un gouvernement parfait (ou « meilleur » pour reprendre l' expression même de More), de son apparition dans la République de Platon jusqu' à son renouveau dans l'Utopie de Thomas More, a été traquée et mise à profit par les partisans de l'hypocrisie, de la contradiction et de l' autoritarisme. Toutefois, la question est plus complexe que la simple affirmation qui voudrait que les utopies favorisent les phantasmes totalitaires, ou que les gouvernements totalitaires se présentent inévitablement comme la réalisation d'une utopie. Ces éléments négatifs répondent en fait souvent à de véritables problèmes sociaux, et, bien que le lecteur d' aujourd'hui, dans la confortable distance qui le sépare du début du XVIe siècle, puisse s'indigner du manque de vie privée et de l'intransigeance idéologique de l'Utopie de More, cela ne change pas le fait que, pour emprunter la formule de Walter Kendrick, « ce qui pour nous sont des problèmes, sont pour eux des solutions ». Il en va de même pour le Brave New World de Aldous Huxley et The Circle de Daver Egger. Alors que les aspects négatifs dans ces trois fictions compromettent leurs aspects positifs, le fait de reconnaître que ces auteurs, par ces moyens discutables, ont sincèrement tenté de régler de vrais problèmes entraînant des misères infinies, amène le lecteur d' aujourd'hui à nuancer ses jugements. Et ainsi, les aspects compromettants de ces oeuvres sont eux-mêmes remis en question.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":57154923,"asset_id":37204201,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":168706,"first_name":"Peter C.","last_name":"Herman","domain_name":"sdsu","page_name":"PeterHerman","display_name":"Peter C.

Fikčnost ve faktuálním vyprávění : Případ fikčních metaautobiografií. Česká literatura, Ústav pro českou literaturu AV ČR, 2018, roč. 66, č. 6, s. 841-869. ISSN 0009-0468.<br />Studie se zaměřuje na otázky spojené s texty, jež promlouvají o životě autora pomocí záměrného zapojení fikčnosti do autobiografické výpovědi: autofikce a fikční metaautobiografie. Fikční elementy v tomto typu psaní často slouží jako nástroje sebereflexe. Prostřednictvím specifických narativních metod se díla vyjadřují například k problematice autobiografické paměti, epistemologické (ne)dostupnosti minulosti nebo narativní konstrukce identity. Tato studie se pokouší o propojení úvah současných naratologů o fikčním a faktuálním vyprávění s analýzou autofikčních a metaautobiografických děl. První sekce stručně pojednává o problematice fikčnosti a představuje rétorickou teorii (H. S. Nielsen, J. Phelan a R. Walsh), která umožňuje vnímat fikčnost mimo fikci a jako součást faktuálního sdělení o aktuálním světě. Následující část se soustředí na metaautobiografický text Montauk švýcarského autora Maxe Frische: osvětluje metodu zapojení fikčnosti do autobiografického textu jako prostředek reflexe vzpomínání, možností zobrazení vlastního života a utváření vlastního Já psaním. Analýza je propojena s krátkým exkurzem do problematiky narativní konstrukce v autobiografickém vyprávění, především ve spojení s osobní identitou. Další část článku krátce shrnuje odlišnosti mezi klasickými autobiografiemi a současnými sebereflexivně laděnými autobiografiemi a autofikcemi, představuje kategorii fikčních metaautobiografií, kterou zařazuje do širšího rámce autofikčních textů, a přináší (neúplný) přehled mnohých definic a podob autofikce. Následuje rozbor druhého příkladu fikční metaautobiografie, Srdceryvného díla ohromujícího génia současného amerického autora Davea Eggerse, které ironicky dekonstruuje konvence autobiografického psaní. Závěr studie upozorňuje na rozdíly ve způsobu zapojení fikčnosti v představených dílech, které tvoří základ pro dělení fikčních metaautobiografií dle druhu návodu ke čtení, jenž poskytují čtenáři: Montauk reprezentuje díla, která čtenáři usnadňují přepínání mezi fikčním a autobiografickým způsobem interpretace tím, že naznačují, které části či aspekty jsou smyšlené a které se drží reálných událostí; na druhé straně texty jako Srdceryvné dílo ohromujícího génia poskytují poměrně málo indicií, jež by čtenáři pomohly rozlišit fikční prvky a identifikovat autenticky autobiografické momenty.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/38858526" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="70a90998be68994028e9965fc7455e37" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":58954350,"asset_id":38858526,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/58954350/download_file?st=MTc0MDQ4MDkzMyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="67985536" href="https://muni.academia.edu/ZuzanaFoniokov%C3%A1">Zuzana Fonioková</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="67985536" type="text/json">{"id":67985536,"first_name":"Zuzana","last_name":"Fonioková","domain_name":"muni","page_name":"ZuzanaFonioková","display_name":"Zuzana Fonioková","profile_url":"https://muni.academia.edu/ZuzanaFoniokov%C3%A1?f_ri=54330","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/67985536/18791568/52854039/s65_zuzana.foniokov_.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_38858526 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="38858526"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 38858526, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_38858526", });

Fikčnost ve faktuálním vyprávění : Případ fikčních metaautobiografií. Česká literatura, Ústav pro českou literaturu AV ČR, 2018, roč. 66, č. 6, s. 841-869. ISSN 0009-0468.\nStudie se zaměřuje na otázky spojené s texty, jež promlouvají o životě autora pomocí záměrného zapojení fikčnosti do autobiografické výpovědi: autofikce a fikční metaautobiografie. Fikční elementy v tomto typu psaní často slouží jako nástroje sebereflexe. Prostřednictvím specifických narativních metod se díla vyjadřují například k problematice autobiografické paměti, epistemologické (ne)dostupnosti minulosti nebo narativní konstrukce identity. Tato studie se pokouší o propojení úvah současných naratologů o fikčním a faktuálním vyprávění s analýzou autofikčních a metaautobiografických děl. První sekce stručně pojednává o problematice fikčnosti a představuje rétorickou teorii (H. S. Nielsen, J. Phelan a R. Walsh), která umožňuje vnímat fikčnost mimo fikci a jako součást faktuálního sdělení o aktuálním světě. Následující část se soustředí na metaautobiografický text Montauk švýcarského autora Maxe Frische: osvětluje metodu zapojení fikčnosti do autobiografického textu jako prostředek reflexe vzpomínání, možností zobrazení vlastního života a utváření vlastního Já psaním. Analýza je propojena s krátkým exkurzem do problematiky narativní konstrukce v autobiografickém vyprávění, především ve spojení s osobní identitou. Další část článku krátce shrnuje odlišnosti mezi klasickými autobiografiemi a současnými sebereflexivně laděnými autobiografiemi a autofikcemi, představuje kategorii fikčních metaautobiografií, kterou zařazuje do širšího rámce autofikčních textů, a přináší (neúplný) přehled mnohých definic a podob autofikce. Následuje rozbor druhého příkladu fikční metaautobiografie, Srdceryvného díla ohromujícího génia současného amerického autora Davea Eggerse, které ironicky dekonstruuje konvence autobiografického psaní. Závěr studie upozorňuje na rozdíly ve způsobu zapojení fikčnosti v představených dílech, které tvoří základ pro dělení fikčních metaautobiografií dle druhu návodu ke čtení, jenž poskytují čtenáři: Montauk reprezentuje díla, která čtenáři usnadňují přepínání mezi fikčním a autobiografickým způsobem interpretace tím, že naznačují, které části či aspekty jsou smyšlené a které se drží reálných událostí; na druhé straně texty jako Srdceryvné dílo ohromujícího génia poskytují poměrně málo indicií, jež by čtenáři pomohly rozlišit fikční prvky a identifikovat autenticky autobiografické momenty.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":58954350,"asset_id":38858526,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":67985536,"first_name":"Zuzana","last_name":"Fonioková","domain_name":"muni","page_name":"ZuzanaFonioková","display_name":"Zuzana Fonioková","profile_url":"https://muni.academia.edu/ZuzanaFoniokov%C3%A1?f_ri=54330","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/67985536/18791568/52854039/s65_zuzana.foniokov_.jpg"}],"research_interests":[{"id":972,"name":"Self and Identity","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Self_and_Identity?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":2852,"name":"Narrative","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Narrative?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":7297,"name":"Autobiography","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Autobiography?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":7351,"name":"Fictionality","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Fictionality?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":20985,"name":"Memoir and Autobiography","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Memoir_and_Autobiography?f_ri=54330"},{"id":35923,"name":"Autofiction","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Autofiction?f_ri=54330"},{"id":44006,"name":"Identity","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Identity?f_ri=54330"},{"id":54330,"name":"Dave Eggers","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Dave_Eggers?f_ri=54330"},{"id":387189,"name":"Max Frisch","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Max_Frisch?f_ri=54330"}]}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div><div class="u-borderBottom1 u-borderColorGrayLighter"><div class="clearfix u-pv7x u-mb0x js-work-card work_71330222" data-work_id="71330222" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"><div class="header"><div class="title u-fontSerif u-fs22 u-lineHeight1_3"><a class="u-tcGrayDarkest js-work-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/71330222/Online_VS_Offline_Unpublished_bachelor_thesis_">Online VS.

Both novels are a pressing warning against our dependence on online media, and attempt to warn their readers against media. They do<br />so by creating a contrast between the dystopian character of the novel and the utopian society as their narrators see it. This contrast is further strengthened by the opposing of the real world and the online world in both novels. Secondly, the protagonists are used to<br />convey the warning. Both have to make a choice at the end of the novel; whether to choose for the real world or remain in the online world completely. Ready Player One features a heroic narrator, who makes the heroic choice in choosing for the real world. The protagonist of The Circle however remains a flat character throughout the novel, with whom a reader cannot sympathize, and who eventually chooses the online world over the real world. This thesis will show exactly how Cline and Eggersconvey the warning in their novels.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/71330222" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="d3fa149a2dff844aa5b111f46bca63c2" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":80719729,"asset_id":71330222,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/80719729/download_file?st=MTc0MDQ4MDkzMyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="110562125" href="https://uu.academia.edu/KellyvanderMeulen">Kelly van der Meulen</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="110562125" type="text/json">{"id":110562125,"first_name":"Kelly","last_name":"van der Meulen","domain_name":"uu","page_name":"KellyvanderMeulen","display_name":"Kelly van der Meulen","profile_url":"https://uu.academia.edu/KellyvanderMeulen?f_ri=54330","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/110562125/34529584/136793927/s65_kelly.van_der_meulen.jpeg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_71330222 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="71330222"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 71330222, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_71330222", });

This paper proposes the implementation of digital image processing techniques to classify three different categories of commercial eggs. The proposed system consists of the study on different types and sizes of commercial eggs, real size measurement of these eggs using Coordinate Measure Machine (CMM) and camera, classification algorithm and the development of vision based egg classification system. Image processing techniques such as image filtering and image enhancements have been applied in the system. Results have shown that the proposed system has been able to successfully classify three categories of commercial eggs with accuracy of more than 96%.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/25759775" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="0551198c084d4315993843291e23f29a" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":46116867,"asset_id":25759775,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/46116867/download_file?st=MTc0MDQ4MDkzMyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="5216963" href="https://upnm.academia.edu/MohdNazriIsmail">Mohd Nazri Ismail</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="5216963" type="text/json">{"id":5216963,"first_name":"Mohd Nazri","last_name":"Ismail","domain_name":"upnm","page_name":"MohdNazriIsmail","display_name":"Mohd Nazri Ismail","profile_url":"https://upnm.academia.edu/MohdNazriIsmail?f_ri=54330","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/5216963/2297936/26923932/s65_mohd_nazri.ismail.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_25759775 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="25759775"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 25759775, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_25759775", });

Textual analysis of the stories is supplemented by the results of a reader-response survey conducted among the students and staff of the University of Wrocław.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":58227805,"asset_id":38190588,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":8184945,"first_name":"Wojciech","last_name":"Drąg","domain_name":"wroc","page_name":"WojciechDrąg","display_name":"Wojciech Drąg","profile_url":"https://wroc.academia.edu/WojciechDr%C4%85g?f_ri=54330","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/8184945/9820962/116702488/s65_wojciech.dr_g.jpg"}],"research_interests":[{"id":19474,"name":"David Foster Wallace","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/David_Foster_Wallace?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":54330,"name":"Dave Eggers","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Dave_Eggers?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":71608,"name":"Microfiction","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Microfiction?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":217520,"name":"Flash Fiction","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Flash_Fiction?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":219448,"name":"New Sincerity","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/New_Sincerity?f_ri=54330"}]}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div><div class="u-borderBottom1 u-borderColorGrayLighter"><div class="clearfix u-pv7x u-mb0x js-work-card work_14531617" data-work_id="14531617" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"><div class="header"><div class="title u-fontSerif u-fs22 u-lineHeight1_3"><a class="u-tcGrayDarkest js-work-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/14531617/Sincerity_Sharing_and_Authorial_Discourses_On_the_Fiction_Nonfiction_Distinction_The_Case_of_Dave_Eggers_s_You_Shall_Know_Our_Velocity">Sincerity, Sharing and Authorial Discourses On the Fiction/Nonfiction Distinction: The Case of Dave Eggers’s You Shall Know Our Velocity.</a></div></div><div class="u-pb4x u-mt3x"><div class="summary u-fs14 u-fw300 u-lineHeight1_5 u-tcGrayDarkest"><div class="summarized">Mainly concerned with a longing for sincerity, much twenty-first century literature problematizes an ontological distinction between fiction and nonfiction.

Die Analogien liegen aber auf der Hand. Deleuze/Guattaris Überlegungen zu einer neuen Literatur, die sich Sprache und Sprachen aneignet, bricht, politisierend umfunktioniert und für Zwecke der revolutionären Neuverortung appropriiert, wurden nicht von ungefähr immer wieder auf die postkoloniale literarische Expressivität übertragen und kritisch vor diesem Hintergrund reflektiert (Kaplan ). Die Herausstellung der zukunftsweisenden Funktion der kleinen Literatur bei Deleuze/Guattari verweist daneben aber auch auf Jean-François Lyotards fast zeitgleiche Ankündigung einer postmodernen Ära der 'kleinen Erzählungen', die die Metaerzählungen, die 'grand récits', der Moderne ablöse. In dieser Allianz wird das Kleine zum Charakteristikum einer neuen, zeitgemäßen Poetik und Epistemologie. Kleine Literaturen und kleine Erzählungen zeichnen sich durch Vorläufigkeit, Tentativität, Variabilität und Fragmenthaftigkeit aus und ziehen eben aus diesen Verfahren der Unbestimmtheit ihre kulturelle Wirkmacht. Lyotard (dt. 1994) selbst wies darauf hin, dass die Figurationen des Kleinen in vieler Hinsicht und paradoxerweise als Metaerzählung der Postmoderne begriffen werden können. Und tatsächlich lässt sich die Entwicklung einer globalen Kultur um die Wende zum 21. Jahrhundert als Erfolgsgeschichte des Kleinen schreiben. Das gilt zumindest für die Bereiche einer globalen Wirklichkeit, in denen transnationale Märkte und Zielpublika erschlossen oder adressiert werden. Auf der Ebene der Wissensvermittlung, der kulturellen Kommunikation und der Bedeutungsstiftung manifestiert sich der Hang zum Kleinen in einer Modularisierung und Feingliederung von Informationen, und gestaltet sich daher oft als Verkürzung: die 1 Teile dieses Textes folgen der Argumentation, die in Mayer 2014 in einem anderen Kontext entworfen wurde.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/9951465" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="79f9876d2e9a99dd5d17b08011436acb" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":36100477,"asset_id":9951465,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/36100477/download_file?st=MTc0MDQ4MDkzNCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="426941" href="https://uni-hannover.academia.edu/RuthMayer">Ruth Mayer</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="426941" type="text/json">{"id":426941,"first_name":"Ruth","last_name":"Mayer","domain_name":"uni-hannover","page_name":"RuthMayer","display_name":"Ruth Mayer","profile_url":"https://uni-hannover.academia.edu/RuthMayer?f_ri=54330","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/426941/101410/120521/s65_ruth.mayer.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_9951465 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="9951465"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 9951465, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_9951465", });

Auf der Ebene der Wissensvermittlung, der kulturellen Kommunikation und der Bedeutungsstiftung manifestiert sich der Hang zum Kleinen in einer Modularisierung und Feingliederung von Informationen, und gestaltet sich daher oft als Verkürzung: die 1 Teile dieses Textes folgen der Argumentation, die in Mayer 2014 in einem anderen Kontext entworfen wurde.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":36100477,"asset_id":9951465,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":426941,"first_name":"Ruth","last_name":"Mayer","domain_name":"uni-hannover","page_name":"RuthMayer","display_name":"Ruth Mayer","profile_url":"https://uni-hannover.academia.edu/RuthMayer?f_ri=54330","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/426941/101410/120521/s65_ruth.mayer.jpg"}],"research_interests":[{"id":15008,"name":"World Literature","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/World_Literature?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":15863,"name":"Postcolonial Literature","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Postcolonial_Literature?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":40088,"name":"Transnational Literature","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Transnational_Literature?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":54330,"name":"Dave Eggers","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Dave_Eggers?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":86293,"name":"Global Literature","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Global_Literature?f_ri=54330"},{"id":312734,"name":"Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Chimamanda_Ngozi_Adichie?f_ri=54330"},{"id":948337,"name":"Kleine Literatur","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Kleine_Literatur?f_ri=54330"}]}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div><div class="u-borderBottom1 u-borderColorGrayLighter"><div class="clearfix u-pv7x u-mb0x js-work-card work_7274805" data-work_id="7274805" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"><div class="header"><div class="title u-fontSerif u-fs22 u-lineHeight1_3"><a class="u-tcGrayDarkest js-work-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/7274805/Paratextuality_and_Economic_Disavowal_in_Dave_Eggers_You_Shall_Know_Our_Velocity">Paratextuality and Economic Disavowal in Dave Eggers' You Shall Know Our Velocity</a></div></div><div class="u-pb4x u-mt3x"><div class="summary u-fs14 u-fw300 u-lineHeight1_5 u-tcGrayDarkest"><div class="summarized">As an intellectual and literary icon for a new millenium, Dave Eggers has approached the question of success and status as an "outsider," maintaining an "anti-establishment" stance even as he himself has been swept up into fame, both as a... <a class="more_link u-tcGrayDark u-linkUnstyled" data-container=".work_7274805" data-show=".complete" data-hide=".summarized" data-more-link-behavior="true" href="#">more</a></div><div class="complete hidden">As an intellectual and literary icon for a new millenium, Dave Eggers has approached the question of success and status as an "outsider," maintaining an "anti-establishment" stance even as he himself has been swept up into fame, both as a writer and publisher.

Both narratives focus on the case of Abdulrahman Zeitoun, a Syrian-American who suffered in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and at the hands of the state through its response to that natural disaster. Our analysis challenges many of the assumptions with regard to affect that dominate the field of human rights and literature, which often takes for granted the intricate and treacherous process that undergirds a reader’s engagement with testimonial narratives. Affective engagement with the reader is a key feature of Eggers’s works, yet we show how it operates in a way that actively shapes the affective tenets of human rights culture in order to allow the reader to engage with the disempowered on more equal terms.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/38378550" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="8a899012aa2ba8bd9a954bae5b4dafae" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":58748453,"asset_id":38378550,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/58748453/download_file?st=MTc0MDQ4MDkzNCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="260995" href="https://ugent.academia.edu/StefCraps">Stef Craps</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="260995" type="text/json">{"id":260995,"first_name":"Stef","last_name":"Craps","domain_name":"ugent","page_name":"StefCraps","display_name":"Stef Craps","profile_url":"https://ugent.academia.edu/StefCraps?f_ri=54330","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/260995/55018/49707185/s65_stef.craps.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_38378550 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="38378550"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 38378550, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_38378550", });

Both narratives focus on the case of Abdulrahman Zeitoun, a Syrian-American who suffered in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and at the hands of the state through its response to that natural disaster. Our analysis challenges many of the assumptions with regard to affect that dominate the field of human rights and literature, which often takes for granted the intricate and treacherous process that undergirds a reader’s engagement with testimonial narratives. Affective engagement with the reader is a key feature of Eggers’s works, yet we show how it operates in a way that actively shapes the affective tenets of human rights culture in order to allow the reader to engage with the disempowered on more equal terms.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":58748453,"asset_id":38378550,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":260995,"first_name":"Stef","last_name":"Craps","domain_name":"ugent","page_name":"StefCraps","display_name":"Stef Craps","profile_url":"https://ugent.academia.edu/StefCraps?f_ri=54330","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/260995/55018/49707185/s65_stef.craps.jpg"}],"research_interests":[{"id":850,"name":"Testimony","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Testimony?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":2592,"name":"Human Rights","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Human_Rights?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":15513,"name":"Contemporary American Literature","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Contemporary_American_Literature?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":22276,"name":"Testimonial Literature","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Testimonial_Literature?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":27903,"name":"Affect (Cultural Theory)","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Affect_Cultural_Theory_?f_ri=54330"},{"id":54330,"name":"Dave Eggers","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Dave_Eggers?f_ri=54330"},{"id":184206,"name":"Literature and Human Rights","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Literature_and_Human_Rights?f_ri=54330"}]}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div><div class="u-borderBottom1 u-borderColorGrayLighter"><div class="clearfix u-pv7x u-mb0x js-work-card work_9955485 coauthored" data-work_id="9955485" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"><div class="header"><div class="title u-fontSerif u-fs22 u-lineHeight1_3"><a class="u-tcGrayDarkest js-work-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/9955485/Archievenblad_special_issue_on_Information_Philosophy_and_Luciano_Floridi">Archievenblad: special issue on Information Philosophy and Luciano Floridi</a></div></div><div class="u-pb4x u-mt3x"><div class="summary u-fs14 u-fw300 u-lineHeight1_5 u-tcGrayDarkest"><div class="summarized">This issue contains three articles: 1.

Berquist contends, for Foucault, heterotopias are not imagined places but real places that almost delete themselves from public consciousness. They are null sites in awareness, yet inevitable and vital to the construction of space. This paradoxical situation is probed in the paper by problematizing the representations of governmentality, citizenship, privacy and cartographic invisibility/visibility. In the narrative the protagonist seems to be working with apparent tensions among visibility, transparency, and invisibility and seems to be declaring an inherent paradox that total visibility or going transparent is the only way to move back to the stage of invisibility. In effect, this paper probes the boundaries of cultural imagination and contemporary spatial practices within the immediate context of digital culture and cultural globalisation. <br />Keywords: Heterotopia, Digital Space, Subjectivity, Hybrid Realities/Identities, Cartographic Visibility/Invisibility</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/44157276" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="c6532f042deb9a25454469e3130a6bf6" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":64513610,"asset_id":44157276,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/64513610/download_file?st=MTc0MDQ4MDkzNCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="516996" href="https://du-in.academia.edu/swethaantony">swetha antony</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="516996" type="text/json">{"id":516996,"first_name":"swetha","last_name":"antony","domain_name":"du-in","page_name":"swethaantony","display_name":"swetha antony","profile_url":"https://du-in.academia.edu/swethaantony?f_ri=54330","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/516996/1014605/88459572/s65_swetha.antony.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_44157276 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="44157276"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 44157276, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_44157276", });

Situating the text in the third space problematized within literary and popular culture, this paper looks into the representation of subjectivity(ies) of Mae, the protagonist, who in the process of going transparent comes to occupy a heterotopia as conceptualised by Michel Foucault in “Of Other Spaces: Utopias and Heterotopias”. Jon L. Berquist contends, for Foucault, heterotopias are not imagined places but real places that almost delete themselves from public consciousness. They are null sites in awareness, yet inevitable and vital to the construction of space. This paradoxical situation is probed in the paper by problematizing the representations of governmentality, citizenship, privacy and cartographic invisibility/visibility. In the narrative the protagonist seems to be working with apparent tensions among visibility, transparency, and invisibility and seems to be declaring an inherent paradox that total visibility or going transparent is the only way to move back to the stage of invisibility. In effect, this paper probes the boundaries of cultural imagination and contemporary spatial practices within the immediate context of digital culture and cultural globalisation. \nKeywords: Heterotopia, Digital Space, Subjectivity, Hybrid Realities/Identities, Cartographic Visibility/Invisibility\n","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":64513610,"asset_id":44157276,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":516996,"first_name":"swetha","last_name":"antony","domain_name":"du-in","page_name":"swethaantony","display_name":"swetha antony","profile_url":"https://du-in.academia.edu/swethaantony?f_ri=54330","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/516996/1014605/88459572/s65_swetha.antony.jpg"}],"research_interests":[{"id":3064,"name":"Heterotopia","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Heterotopia?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":15514,"name":"Contemporary Literature","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Contemporary_Literature?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":23791,"name":"Third Space","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Third_Space?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":29116,"name":"Geocriticism","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Geocriticism?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":54330,"name":"Dave Eggers","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Dave_Eggers?f_ri=54330"},{"id":65880,"name":"Speculative Fiction","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Speculative_Fiction?f_ri=54330"},{"id":209763,"name":"heterotopia/Foucault","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/heterotopia_Foucault?f_ri=54330"},{"id":630826,"name":"Third Spaces","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Third_Spaces?f_ri=54330"},{"id":2058263,"name":"Social and Spatial Studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Social_and_Spatial_Studies?f_ri=54330"}]}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div><div class="u-borderBottom1 u-borderColorGrayLighter"><div class="clearfix u-pv7x u-mb0x js-work-card work_39202821" data-work_id="39202821" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"><div class="header"><div class="title u-fontSerif u-fs22 u-lineHeight1_3"><a class="u-tcGrayDarkest js-work-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/39202821/Promising_Truths_in_Fiction_and_Teaching_Sincerity">Promising Truths, in Fiction & Teaching: Sincerity.</a></div></div><div class="u-pb4x u-mt3x"><div class="summary u-fs14 u-fw300 u-lineHeight1_5 u-tcGrayDarkest"><div class="summarized">In this essay, I make the case for teaching as a sincere act.

Such a sincerity offers educators ways of teaching hopefully, bringing forth themselves in conversation with students. It offers a way of rethinking teaching as primarily and problematically a manipulative and impositional act, a mode of imagining pedagogy beyond the dichotomy between oppressive transmission pedagogies and liberatory critical ones. I suggest that if we’re going to humanize (Paris & Winn, 2013) our work as educators and scholars of education, a renewed theorizing that affirms the role of the teacher as relationally important, as having something to offer through the communication of their selves, can enrich the work of teaching—as an extension of teachers’ lives, as creative and communal, compelling, complex, and deeply personal work—in ways that prove fruitful for both teachers and students.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/39202821" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="eb847a6f80b1aaff98cdd0d71bb28a14" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":59331436,"asset_id":39202821,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/59331436/download_file?st=MTc0MDQ4MDkzNCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="20747431" href="https://sjsu.academia.edu/ScottJarvie">Scott Jarvie</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="20747431" type="text/json">{"id":20747431,"first_name":"Scott","last_name":"Jarvie","domain_name":"sjsu","page_name":"ScottJarvie","display_name":"Scott Jarvie","profile_url":"https://sjsu.academia.edu/ScottJarvie?f_ri=54330","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/20747431/10503595/92133052/s65_scott.jarvie.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_39202821 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="39202821"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 39202821, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_39202821", });

Most trauma theorists also agree that empathy is to be distinguished from forms of affective involvement that do not recognize and respect the otherness of the other, and which are variously referred to as sympathy, projective identification, incorporation, or crude empathy. While this caveat against imperialism and appropriation is meant to prevent empathy from turning into a closed-loop process, canonical trauma theory itself has been plagued by Eurocentrism from its inception, as it tends not to adequately address the sufferings of members of non-Western or minority groups. In this essay, I will discuss the challenges that transcultural witnessing poses for empathic understanding and ethical thinking, using both theoretical and literary texts as examples, and focusing specifically on Dave Eggers’s novel What Is the What. Published by McSweeney’s in 2006, What Is the What, subtitled The Autobiography of Valentino Achak Deng, is a collaborative first-person testimony that tells the story of a refugee from the second Sudanese civil war. I argue that in this book Eggers manages both to stay true to the continuing cultural demand for empathy with distant others and to defuse or counter the prevailing scepticism about the morality of empathic identification that tends to find such efforts hopelessly wanting. What Is the What does not resolve all the moral ambiguities surrounding transcultural witnessing, but it is unafraid to confront them and refuses to be paralysed by them. The novel harnesses feeling in the face of suffering while continually reminding the reader that Deng’s experiences are not his or hers to inhabit. Rather than solidifying an already existing community, it calls a community of otherwise distant and disconnected people into being for the purposes of alleviating suffering.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/26898556" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="2e5ee6e573d699096b41301475d67caf" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":102465675,"asset_id":26898556,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/102465675/download_file?st=MTc0MDQ4MDkzNCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="260995" href="https://ugent.academia.edu/StefCraps">Stef Craps</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="260995" type="text/json">{"id":260995,"first_name":"Stef","last_name":"Craps","domain_name":"ugent","page_name":"StefCraps","display_name":"Stef Craps","profile_url":"https://ugent.academia.edu/StefCraps?f_ri=54330","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/260995/55018/49707185/s65_stef.craps.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_26898556 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="26898556"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 26898556, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_26898556", });

Following in the wake of David Foster Wallace, Eggers's solution to overcome the problems created by postmodernism is a kind of writing based on honesty. Through a rebirth of the author, the objective of Eggers's New Sincerity is the democratization of narrative in order to create a sensibility network aimed at ending the solipsism brought about by postmodern linguistic relativism. However, this new sensibility is reminiscent of pre-postmodern fundamentalism. The use of meta-metafiction based on the use of neo-Romantic irony enables Eggers to create an escape valve that allows for the creation of a metamodern oscillation-as described by Tim Vermeulen and Robin van den Akker.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/65328652" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="07bc482578187481e82ef0735e77725f" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":76973420,"asset_id":65328652,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/76973420/download_file?st=MTc0MDQ4MDkzNCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="5716836" href="https://uca-es.academia.edu/Jes%C3%BAsBolano">Jesus Bolano-Quintero</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="5716836" type="text/json">{"id":5716836,"first_name":"Jesus","last_name":"Bolano-Quintero","domain_name":"uca-es","page_name":"JesúsBolano","display_name":"Jesus Bolano-Quintero","profile_url":"https://uca-es.academia.edu/Jes%C3%BAsBolano?f_ri=54330","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/5716836/5129202/156989831/s65_jesus.bolano-quintero.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_65328652 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="65328652"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 65328652, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_65328652", });

hidden">The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of the agroecological zone, host age, and gender on the prevalence and faecal egg load of gastrointestinal parasites (GIPs) for six months (July to December) in the Maseru and Quthing districts, Lesotho. A total of 1919 faecal samples were examined using the McMaster technique. The data were analyzed through generalized estimating equations (GEE) under the binary logistic regression model to determine the significant differences for the GIPs prevalence. Moreover, faecal egg counts (FEC) data were analyzed for repeated measures using GEE. In total, three types of GIPs, namely nematodes, coccidia, and cestodes were identified in this study. The overall prevalence rates of nematodes, coccidia, and cestodes were 53.9%, 46.5%, and 4.3% in the Maseru district, respectively. Furthermore, the Quthing district indicated the prevalence rates of 65.0%, 38.2%, and 0.9% for nematodes, coccidia, and cestodes, respectively. In the Maseru district, the overall faecal egg counts for nematodes, coccidia, and cestodes were within the ranges of 0-20.3, 0-90, and 0-600 eggs per gram, respectively. Additionally, the faecal egg counts in the Quthing district ranged from 0 to 8.000, 6.700, and 2.000 eggs per gram for nematodes, coccidia, and cestodes, respectively. The majority of the Merino sheep (>69%) in both districts had lower faecal egg counts (100-800) per gram. The agroecological zone affected the nematode infestation in both districts. Coccidia in the Quthing was higher in the mountain areas. In the Maseru district, the nematode infestation was not age-dependent; however, in the Quthing district, the prevalence was higher in juveniles, compared to adults. Age and gender did not affect the prevalence and faecal egg counts of nematodes and coccidia. The coccidian faecal egg loads were higher in females, compared to males. Merino sheep in Lesotho are mostly infected with gastrointestinal nematodes and protozoal coccidia, which could have a tremendous impact on their health and productivity. It is, therefore, of significant importance to develop the deworming strategy for sheep of different age and gender groups in different agroecological zones.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/49009589" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="27e9634f0c19ee07f754570b4c3b0450" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":67397988,"asset_id":49009589,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/67397988/download_file?st=MTc0MDQ4MDkzNCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="45017656" href="https://independent.academia.edu/WorldsVeterinaryJournalEditor">World's Veterinary Journal Editor</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="45017656" type="text/json">{"id":45017656,"first_name":"World's Veterinary Journal","last_name":"Editor","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"WorldsVeterinaryJournalEditor","display_name":"World's Veterinary Journal Editor","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/WorldsVeterinaryJournalEditor?f_ri=54330","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/45017656/11949903/13315559/s65_world_s_veterinary_journal.editor.jpg"}</script></span></span><span class="u-displayInlineBlock InlineList-item-text"> and <span class="u-textDecorationUnderline u-clickable InlineList-item-text js-work-more-authors-49009589">+1</span><div class="hidden js-additional-users-49009589"><div><span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a href="https://independent.academia.edu/MotselisiMahlehla">Motselisi Mahlehla</a></span></div></div></span><script>(function(){ var popoverSettings = { el: $('.js-work-more-authors-49009589'), placement: 'bottom', hide_delay: 200, html: true, content: function(){ return $('.js-additional-users-49009589').html();

It is, therefore, of significant importance to develop the deworming strategy for sheep of different age and gender groups in different agroecological zones.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":67397988,"asset_id":49009589,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":45017656,"first_name":"World's Veterinary Journal","last_name":"Editor","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"WorldsVeterinaryJournalEditor","display_name":"World's Veterinary Journal Editor","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/WorldsVeterinaryJournalEditor?f_ri=54330","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/45017656/11949903/13315559/s65_world_s_veterinary_journal.editor.jpg"},{"id":67235215,"first_name":"Motselisi","last_name":"Mahlehla","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"MotselisiMahlehla","display_name":"Motselisi Mahlehla","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/MotselisiMahlehla?f_ri=54330","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/67235215/20070444/19836134/s65_motselisi.mahlehla.jpg"}],"research_interests":[{"id":54330,"name":"Dave Eggers","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Dave_Eggers?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":1767485,"name":"Faecal Sludge","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Faecal_Sludge?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true}]}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div><div class="u-borderBottom1 u-borderColorGrayLighter"><div class="clearfix u-pv7x u-mb0x js-work-card work_34831118" data-work_id="34831118" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"><div class="header"><div class="title u-fontSerif u-fs22 u-lineHeight1_3"><a class="u-tcGrayDarkest js-work-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/34831118/_Pretend_it_s_fiction_La_questione_della_verit%C3%A0_nella_narrativa_di_Dave_Eggers">“Pretend it’s fiction”.

Trying to break free from the solipsism brought about by postmodern relativism, Wallace embraced sincerity as the cornerstone of the zeitgeist of the new millennium. This article offers an analysis of two salient sources of influence that could be considered as inspiration for Wallace's alternative to postmodern irony: American transcendentalism and Ludwig Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations. It does so with the intention of furthering the understanding of the cultural significance of the work of the author for the generation of writers that followed in his wake, and to demonstrate how the recovery of Romantic ideals may be the key to map out the nature of the paradigm shift to post-postmodernism.

Trying to break free from the solipsism brought about by postmodern relativism, Wallace embraced sincerity as the cornerstone of the zeitgeist of the new millennium. This article offers an analysis of two salient sources of influence that could be considered as inspiration for Wallace's alternative to postmodern irony: American transcendentalism and Ludwig Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations. It does so with the intention of furthering the understanding of the cultural significance of the work of the author for the generation of writers that followed in his wake, and to demonstrate how the recovery of Romantic ideals may be the key to map out the nature of the paradigm shift to post-postmodernism.

The paper will therefore combine literary symptomatologies and philosophical aetiology, in the attempt to make them react together, Foucault and Orwell, Eggers and Deleuze, to extract and describe signs from the literary material considered that may be brought to the fore only after the consideration of the causes of the most important symptoms of discipline and control.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":58202487,"asset_id":38167703,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":26857869,"first_name":"Pierluca","last_name":"D'Amato","domain_name":"durham","page_name":"PierlucaDAmato","display_name":"Pierluca D'Amato","profile_url":"https://durham.academia.edu/PierlucaDAmato?f_ri=54330","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/26857869/7504811/21185085/s65_pierluca.d_amato.jpg"}],"research_interests":[{"id":7199,"name":"George Orwell","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/George_Orwell?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":7523,"name":"Control","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Control?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":8302,"name":"Gilles Deleuze","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Gilles_Deleuze?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":11927,"name":"Michel Foucault","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Michel_Foucault?f_ri=54330","nofollow":true},{"id":39525,"name":"Discipline","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Discipline?f_ri=54330"},{"id":54330,"name":"Dave Eggers","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Dave_Eggers?f_ri=54330"},{"id":54779,"name":"Digital","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Digital?f_ri=54330"},{"id":76930,"name":"Panopticism","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Panopticism?f_ri=54330"},{"id":140381,"name":"Postscript","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Postscript?f_ri=54330"},{"id":156424,"name":"1984","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/1984?f_ri=54330"},{"id":283205,"name":"The digital panopticon","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/The_digital_panopticon?f_ri=54330"},{"id":477145,"name":"Panopticon","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Panopticon?f_ri=54330"},{"id":515070,"name":"Circulation","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Circulation?f_ri=54330"},{"id":1551306,"name":"The Circle","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/The_Circle?f_ri=54330"}]}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div><div class="u-borderBottom1 u-borderColorGrayLighter"><div class="clearfix u-pv7x u-mb0x js-work-card work_25732977" data-work_id="25732977" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"><div class="header"><div class="title u-fontSerif u-fs22 u-lineHeight1_3"><a class="u-tcGrayDarkest js-work-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/25732977/Transparency_Good_and_Bad_A_Note_on_Utopia_We_Nineteen_Eighty_Four_The_Circle_and_Surveillance_in_Our_Panopticonal_Times">Transparency Good and Bad: A Note on Utopia, We, Nineteen Eighty-Four, The Circle, and Surveillance in Our Panopticonal Times</a></div></div><div class="u-pb4x u-mt3x"><div class="summary u-fs14 u-fw300 u-lineHeight1_5 u-tcGrayDarkest"><div class="summarized">"Transparency" in US usage over the last few decades has been a positive term: a political goal for public policy to be made in public, and police practices kept in the open.
