Subculture, the meaning of style
Subculture, the meaning of style
09/25/2004 12:03 PM
For Westerners, the index case of subculture has to be the
1960s UK
conflict between the razor-sharp, tailored
mods and their
mortal enemies, the greasy
rockers
.
Difference was critical to these first self-identified
youth subcultures: difference in dress, in music, in drug of choice,
in the favored
mode of
transport...everythin
g. This obsessive focus on not just standing out, but standing out
just so - on showing the world precisely the right angle of a
hat, length of a coat, shortness of hair - has defined many a
subculture since. We recognize
b-boys,
ganguro
girls, and
straightedge
punks by such deployments, among many, many other identifiable
groups. (It's not just a youth thing, either:
leath
ermen and the
delightfully recrudescent
roller derby culture are largely adult phenomena.)
To a
devotee of a given subculture, such matters, far from being a
"narcissism of small differences," are a matter of pivotal
import in framing how one presents oneself to the world:
how we want to
be seen, how we want others to understand us. But I'm getting
older now, and further out of the loop, and I realize that just maybe
I'm losing the ability to discern these differences in the people I
pass walking down the street. I find myself asking, who and where are
the new subcultures? And how do they choose to present themselves to
us?

Exploding Subculture
06/05/2005 11:47 PMSome friends and I recently went and checked out the Little Boy
exhibit at the Japan Society.
Little Boy: The Arts of Japan's Exploding Subculture
explores the culture of postwar Japan through its arts and popular
visual media, from the perspective of one of Japan's most celebrated
artists. Focusing on the phenomenally influential subcultures of otaku
(roughly translated as "pop cult fanaticism") and its relationships to
Japan's artistic vanguard, Takashi Murakami explores the historical
influences that shape Japanese contemporary art and its distinct
graphic idioms.
It's a good exhibit, but I'm not sure it's worth
the $12 entry fee. My favorite pieces were the paintings of Hideaki
Kawashima, particularly Fire (depicted at left) and Smile.
The exhibition is open through July 24 at the Japan Society at 333
East 47th Street in Manhattan.

Anti-Gmail Bill Now Allows Gmail
Anti-Gmail Bill Now Allows Gmail
05/26/2004 01:35 PMLast month there was a lot of talk about the somewhat clueless move by
a California politician to create a law that would
ban
Google's Gmail offering, despite the fact that it was completely
optional to use. It appears that enough people (probably including
those at Google itself) sat down with State Senator Liz Figueroa to
explain how email works, and have convinced her to
tone down
the bill so that it now allows Gmail. That's right, the
anti-Gmail bill now has loopholes that specifically allow Gmail. In
other words, Senator Figueroa seems to have realized just how
pointless the bill was in the first place and is trying to save face
by adjusting it so that it still seems to have a purpose: banning a
bunch of things that no one was doing, like having humans read the
content of your emails to put in advertising.

Eric and I were chatting
about how cool Garage Band was and we decided to try collaboration
over the Internet. I grabbed some samples off of a talk
Lawrence Lessig gave in Helsinki, laid down some beats and
"started the car". The I passed it over to Eric. Eric laid down some
more tracks, added effects, mixed it and sent it back to me. I added
some metadata and posted it to
archive.org (being processed now) and "Permission
Granted" was born.
We just figured this out a few minutes ago, but I think Permission
Granted will be a collaboration between Eric and me. We're
"co-pilots". We'll mess around putting samples from talks and
discussions to music. We're still sort of
not-stupid-enough-to-be-funny, but not-good-enough-to-be-cool, but
hopefully we'll the the hang of it soon.

More 3G In The US Starting Next Week
More 3G In The US Starting Next Week
07/15/2004 03:41 PMBack in February we noted that, even after the acquisition
announcement from Cingular, AT&T Wireless was
still
required to launch 3G service in four cities by the end of the
year, or be forced to pay back the $6 billion NTT DoCoMo gave them.
So, it's no surprise to hear that AT&T Wireless is on track to have
four cities launched by the end of the year. They have $6 billion
riding on it, after all. However, the surprise news may be that such
service
could launch next week. The four cities in question
are San Francisco, Seattle, Phoenix and Detroit, and the pricing isn't
quite as ridiculous as you might expect. Following the
$80
rule, they're offering business users unlimited 3G data at
$80/month. For consumers, though, the price is a more Sprint-like
$25/month. They'll apparently be supporting two phones and a datacard
for laptops, though, it seems likely that the datacard will only work
on one of those $80/month business plans. Speeds should be slightly
slower than Verizon's EV-DO offering (only available in San Diego and
DC right now), but should still be fairly useful in the 200 kbps to
300 kbps range. The question remains, though, if the combined
Cingular/AT&T Wireless will build off of this offering, or if they're
just doing it to save the $6 billion. Such a network is a lot more
useful when coverage is nationwide, instead of four (or two) random
cities.

I've certainly thought about things which, with the benefit of
hindsight, I would have done differently. I was never
comfortable with having the topic name as the text content of the
<topic> element and I've no idea why I did it,
there are other bugbears in there too.
I'd also like to give
more thought as to how ENT feeds can be supported by topic map
resources in real applications. At the moment we don't publish
XTM or XFML maps out of K-Collector but we could (I used to publish
XFML from liveTopics but those files got big!)
Lastly I
would really like to make a push for ENT support in other
applications. It seems a shame to me that, more than a year on,
no other applications seem to have picked up on the benefits topic

Just a couple of quick impressions to share with
you this morning - not full blown reviews by any means, just two
things that caught me off guard last night. The first is Salling
Clicker, a bit of software for OSX that turns most Bluetooth devices
into a remote control for a ton of functions. I had used it before,
but I started digging into the demo last night and found a lot of
stuff I hadn't noticed before, like how it can automatically mute and
pause iTunes when you get a call, or how you can use it as sort of a
totem to let your Mac know when you are home again, so it can start up
the programs and services you enjoy. I'm not quite convinced to
drop the $20 for it yet, because I'm trying to only buy stuff I
need now, not just things that are amusing, but it's certainly
much cooler than I first realized.
What you should know before starting a
doctorate...
What you should know before starting a
doctorate...
07/03/2004 01:43 PMA few days ago an interesting article on Graduate schools
circulated around the web. The article suggested
that Graduate school has many of the features of a cult and that
some people staying on to undertake postgraduate studies almost needed
to be deprogrammed until they understood that there was value in life
outside the Academy. Here (just in case you don't have the stamina to
read a short pithy well-written article) are the first two
paragraphs:
Several years ago, the professional career counselor
Margaret Newhouse wrote an essay for The Chronicle called
"Deprogramming From the Academic Cult." Newhouse argued that graduate
school in the humanities indoctrinates its students into believing
that they are failures if they do not remain inside the ivory tower,
even if there are no suitable academic jobs for them. Career
counselors, she argued, have to find ways to persuade unemployed
Ph.D.'s to believe that the outside world is not evil and that they
are not apostates if they do something besides teaching and
research.
Although I am currently a tenure-track professor of English, I realize
that nothing but luck distinguishes me from thousands of other
highly-qualified Ph.D.'s in the humanities who will never have
full-time academic jobs and, as a result, are symbolically dead to the
academy. Even after several years, many former graduate students
grapple with feelings of shame and failure that, to outsiders, seem
completely irrational.
A little under seven years ago I left a doctorate in Classics that
I'd been undertaking at Bristol University. I'd been working on my PhD
for three years - time initially very well spent and which produed
enormous amounts of reasonably good-quality work. Over the first two
and a half years or so I produced around sixty thousand words on
models of the mind, mythology, story-telling and identification; I'd
taught various undergraduate classes on drama, mythology and Ancient
Greek language and I'd produced two papers (on on anachronistic
interpretation and one on The Bacchae) which I delivered at national
conferences in Nottingham and New York. However, from the beginning of
my second year I started experiencing a slow deterioration in my work,
had a number of crises of motivation and started to feel that I was
being overwhelmed by the material and sheer amount of commentary and
opinion that I needed to get to grips with. I started to feel that I
was never going to be able to produce work that I was going to be
happy with - that I was never going to find the answers that I was
looking for. Then followed a few months of highly self-destructive
behaviour when I felt that I was starting to fail, followed by a few
months of anti-depressants and then the final realisation that if I
was going to complete my work it would take me years of penury and
misery and that I was likely to have problems finding any kind of
employment afterwards. And then the realisation that I no longer had
faith that the work I was producing would have any kind of impact or
be taken in any way seriously. And that's when I decided to quit.
If you believe the narrative that I've just told you (and there's
no reason why you should simply swallow it whole - I've taken
considerable license with it for speed and clarity) then you might
well be asking yourself why I went from doing good work to leaving
academia completely, and whether I regret it. I ask whether you
believe it because I'm not sure that I believe it myself - I find the
whole period difficult to interpret and difficult to feel confident
about because of the sheer weight of the different interpretations,
personal relationships, arguments, tensions and various senses of
betrayals that I came - by the end - to associate fully with my time
in doctoral work. And here's where the article about the cultishness
of Graduate School comes in again. Because whlie I don't necessarily
believe that it does have cultish tendencies, I do feel programmed by
circumstance to forfeit my right to a public opinion about it. Any
statement I make about academia - or my experience of academia - that
isn't entirely complimentary must necessarily be seen in the context
of my own failure to complete the process. Because I'm not now Doctor
Coates, any statement I make that puts any blame on anyone other than
my own inadequacies can be dismissed as sour grapes or an inability to
accept failure or inadequacy in one field or another.
I'm not going to fight this assumption - I feel comfortable in
admitting that whatever else may have led to my ungracious departure
from academia, I clearly did not have the necessarily discipline to
carry through the work I'd started to its conclusion. I failed. But
I've seen a lot of other people fall hard off the back of the
academic lorry as well, and a good number of them I believe have done
so not because they've failed the system but because the system has
failed them. And they feel similarly confused and conflicted - unable
to determine where the failure was their own. Even many of the people
I know who have completed their doctorates have experienced the burn
of tarmac on their departure from the academy. These people were
intellectually able, self-disciplined and strong and fought through
the academy with all the discipline and strength they could muster and
were still brought low by it. And worse still, these people feel the
same anxiety that I do about talking about it - any rejection is in
itself an admission of failure. Here's where the academy's cultishness
emerges most strongly - because it's an institution where you can
only fail yourself and your leaders. They can never fail
you.
I want to talk a little about the reality of post-graduate work for
people who are considering it because I think you should know what
you're letting yourself in for. Courses which are mostly taught are
almost always achievable. That's not what I'm talking about. I'd
recommend a Masters course to almost anyone. On the other hand,
Universities often encourage their pupils to stay with them at their
University because they get money for students. I would advise
you to never do this. It can be very difficult for
undergraduate students to adjust to the new roles and status that
undertaking a Masters should afford you. It's particularly difficult
if you're doing those role-changes with people you have been used to
being highly deferential towards. And why would you want to work more
with them anyway? Unless they really are the world-leading experts in
their fields, you should be looking elsewhere for different
perspectives, different expertises and different lessons to learn.
You'll learn much more from a new teacher than from the one who has
already articulated much of their approach and beliefs and ways of
seeing the world through your undergraduate work with them.
Masters aside then, what of the research degree? Here I'm going to
be blunt. First things first, please believe that academic departments
get money for postgraduate students and that more money means more and
(and more stable) jobs for the staff. You must never forget that while
all academics have altruistic motives, they also have a vested
interest in encouraging you to stay with them. Again consider why
they're suggesting you continue your work, and think particularly hard
if they're advocating you staying with them.
Next think about your skills and expertises and whether or not you
actually want to be an academic after you've tried to complete
your course. Now think about whether or not you're going to be the
person who actually gets the really hard to come by academic job
afterwards (this is particularly true in the Humanities). If you don't
want to be a History lecturer and do academic research for the rest of
your life, then don't do a doctorate. If you're not sure, then
get sure before you sign on the dotted line. Academic jobs are
not easy to get and they'll all be looking for certain skills and
expertises that are relevant to the teaching of your discipline. If
you want to spend years doing research into an incredibly obscure
branch of history, then bear in mind that no one may wish to teach
courses in that particular obscure branch of history. If you're going
to be revolutionarily cross-disciplinary, then consider - are there
any departments in the world who could hire you when you were
done? And if not, then don't do it!
Doctorates don't count for much outside academia - and in fact they
may count against you. If you can't find a directly relevant area for
subsequent professional work, then many employers are likely to look
at a 25-30 year old person with three-six years of post-graduate work
as being a strange and slightly worrying employment prospect - they're
going to be too smart for their own good, too ivory-towerish, too
specialist, out of touch with the way that the "real world" works. If
you're working in an area where there's a lot of commercial interest
(say the way in which people use technology) then you may very well
find enormous career opportunities open up before you. This is not
likely to happen if you've spent six years writing on gender roles in
Baudelaire - no matter how ground-breaking the work.
And here's the other lesson - doctoral work is professional
training. You have to think about it like that - you're being made
into a lecturer / professor / teacher / researcher. The aim of
doctoral work is not - no matter what anyone tells you - to think up
good stuff and write great works and reveal your genius to the world.
The aim is to make professional people who can teach undergraduates,
deliver papers and - yes - also (subsequently) push the discipline
further in one direction or another. You have to approach your
post-graduate work in this way. The most successful doctoral students
in my experience are the ones that are thorough and careful and take
on relatively unambitious projects which don't stretch the assumptions
or structures of the discipline too much. They're the ones that finish
their doctoral work and go on to useful teaching positions (and then
may or may not start exploring more widely). It's definitely not the
best and the brightest, the most imaginative thinkers or the people
with the great ideas that get through. If they get through its because
they're thorough and their careful and their professional and treat it
as it should be treated - as a job of work rather than a calling or an
exploration.
Which brings me to drop-out rates. Another thing you won't be told
is how many people don't complete their doctorates. I've heard various
figures mentioned, but I believe that around 50% of people who start
doctorates don't get a PhD out of it. This may be humanities only or
it may be throughout the academy. An enormous proportion of people
simply never finish the things because it's not quite what they were
expecting when they started. And many of these people will feel like
failures, will come into the job market late and will find it harder
to get ahead in their new chosen career. It's not clear to me whether
it's harder to get a job with a completed irrelevant doctorate or an
incomplete one. It's not easy with with either.
And then there's the day-to-day atmosphere of it. When you're doing
research, you work almost exclusively alone - for three to five years.
You should spend large periods of that time in a library - ideally
(again taking into account that this is a training course and a
career) you should use the working hours that you might expect from a
job - eight hours a day. You will get paid either nothing or a barely
livable wage to do this work (again - more true for humanities
students). This is not a glamourous occupation, by any means. And as
I've said before, there is no glamour in the work itself, a restricted
chance that you'll get a career in academia and a very real
possibility that by undertaking this work you're going to make
yourself less employable. The "positive" aspects of the lifestyle
(apart from your gradual progress towards getting your doctorate) are
limited, but you do get relative freedom to think and explore ideas,
you are forced to be self-motivating and self-determined and - when
things are going well - you will get self-respect and the respect of
some other people (who in my opinion are rather easily impressed).
These freedoms, and the self-respect and the respect of others that
you get from undertaking a doctorate will stay with you (to an extent)
if you go into the badly paid field of academia. If you do not, they
will swiftly evaporate.
Which brings me (briefly) to my final point. Do not believe
there is no worthwhile life outside academia! It's difficult
sometimes, when you've been in the education system for getting on for
twenty years to remember that there's an enormous panoply of jobs
outside academia and not al of it is sullied by the feeble crust of
crass commercialism. It is more than possible to find enjoyable,
ethically-sound, world-improving work outside academia - and in fact
it's probably no harder than it is to find similar work inside
the Academy. The stereotype (and the assumption of many potential
postgraduate students) that study for the sake of study and the
stretching and mental gymnastics of intellectual work are somehow
naturally superior and elite practices would holod more water with me
if such warming up regularly translated into actual attempts to build
or refigure the world in positive ways. If such goals are your intent
- consider carefully what effect you are actually likely to have. Is
the respect of a narrow and dishevelled set of peers (and a steady
stream of undergraduate neophytes) enough to get you through the
night? If not, consider that there is good work to be done outside
University and that some of it pays rather better and is equally
interesting.
If you're considering a longer research-based degree, please
consider carefully what you're letting yourself in for. Remember the
key facts: only fifty percent of people come out of the other end of
this process with a doctorate and even then they have to look towards
finding (mostly pretty badly-paid) work. Many of them won't that work
despite having proved their discipline, committment and intelligence.
Do yourself a favour and make sure that you go in with your eyes open
- that you know how unpleasant the work can be, that you know what a
risk you're taking with your time and with your life, that you're
strong enough to deal with the self-doubt and the humiliation and the
shame and the anxiety that the work can cause and that you're totally
sure of the career path that you are choosing for yourself,
before you agree to continue with your studies. If you don't do
this, then you may very well find yourself in a cult that genuinely
believes that everyone else is basically wasting their lives and from
which there is no easy or elegant way to escape.

Starting Up The Filter Debate
Starting Up The Filter Debate
01/05/2004 05:31 PMWally Choo from Cybersitter and I don't agree on much when it comes to
internet filtering, but he still reads Techdirt and chimes in every
once in a while - which I appreciate. He writes in today with a link
to a story about how a sick man who was having sex with a 13 year old
girl he met online was
c
aught via a father reading through Cybersitter's instant messaging
logs. Wally suggests that this proves filters "work". He's
missing the argument I've made against filters. I have no problem if
a parent wants to use filters to monitor their children - though, I
think good parenting is a better solution. My problem with filters
has always been twofold: (1) they shouldn't be forced on places like
libraries and (2) they don't reveal what they filter or how they
decide what's objectionable. They also rarely "work" as a filter.
They filter out some sites, while letting plenty of others through -
and often filter out perfectly legitimate sites based on their own
judgment calls. Besides, this wasn't about "filters", but about
monitoring. If a parent really wants to spy on their own kids, that's
their call.
