Google and the Culture of Search

Google and the Culture of Search

Ken Hillis; Michael Petit; Kylie Jarrett

Routledge
2012
sidottu
What did you do before Google? The rise of Google as the dominant Internet search provider reflects a generationally-inflected notion that everything that matters is now on the Web, and should, in the moral sense of the verb, be accessible through search. In this theoretically nuanced study of search technology’s broader implications for knowledge production and social relations, the authors shed light on a culture of search in which our increasing reliance on search engines influences not only the way we navigate, classify, and evaluate Web content, but also how we think about ourselves and the world around us, online and off. Ken Hillis, Michael Petit, and Kylie Jarrett seek to understand the ascendancy of search and its naturalization by historicizing and contextualizing Google’s dominance of the search industry, and suggest that the contemporary culture of search is inextricably bound up with a metaphysical longing to manage, order, and categorize all knowledge. Calling upon this nexus between political economy and metaphysics, Google and the Culture of Search explores what is at stake for an increasingly networked culture in which search technology is a site of knowledge and power.

Yeats and Theosophy

Yeats and Theosophy

Ken Monteith

Routledge
2007
sidottu
When H. P. Blavatsky, the controversial head of the turn of the century movement Theosophy, defined "a true Theosophist" in her book The Key to Theosophy, she could have just as easily have been describing W. B. Yeats. Blavatsky writes, "A true Theosophist must put in practice the loftiest moral ideal, must strive to realize his unity with the whole of humanity, and work ceaselessly for others." Although Yeats joined Blavatsky's group in 1887, and subsequently left to help form The Golden Dawn in 1890, Yeats's career as poet and politician were very much in line with the methods set forth by Blavatsky's doctrine. My project explores how Yeats employs this pop-culture occultism in the creation of his own national literary aesthetic. This project not only examines the influence theosophy has on the literary work Yeats produced in the late 1880's and 1890's, but also Yeats's work as literary critic and anthology editor during that time. While Yeats uses theosophy's metaphysical world view to provide an underlying structure for some of his earliest poetry and drama, he uses theosophy's methods of investigation and argument to discover a metaphysical literary tradition which incorporates all of his own literary heroes into an Irish cultural tradition. Theosophy provides a methodology for Yeats to argue that both Shelley and Blake (for example) are part of a tradition that includes himself. Basing his argument in theosophy, Yeats can argue that the Irish people are a distinct race with a culture more "sincere" and "natural" than that of England.

Besides offering significant advantages over traditional rigid boards, flexible circuitry is increasingly the technology of choice for military and commercial applications, including the growing ASICs market. This book addresses the many new uses, applications, and developments of flexible circuitry, the most popular form of interconnection for applications requiring size and weight reduction, better impedance, reduced labour, and easy assembly. Written by authors drawn from the largest US flex suppliers, this reference provides a ground-up perspective on modern flexible circuitry. It explores current design guidelines and uses case studies to illustrate the different thinking processes and trade-offs necessary to take full advantage of flex technology. The chapter on implementation deals with such key issues as interconnection, assembly, and circuit layout. This book aims to familiarize printed circuit designers and engineers, system engineers, and packaging engineers with the full spectrum of present-day flex circuitry principles and applications.
