His base is not dissolving. The media, who now is 100% Deep State and therefore backing getting Hillary Clinton in there (still) wants you to believe that.

If you were really concerned you'd STOP the FUCKING HARASSMENT

[MacCruiskeen]

I mean, in my 30-year experience with the left in this country, what do you think are the most common tropes? And not that this thing is from "the left," but it's indicative of the general stockholm-syndrome mentality of everyone to the left of, oh, Reagan perhaps. Hell, this goes back to, you know, nineteenth century liberals and social democrats, or enlightenment-era "deists." Everyone's gotta double down on the patriot tropes and the super-seriousness, or they're fucking traitors. (As we are seeing this year, the right-wing is much freer to just trash shit, laugh at the whole thing, take it like kayfabe.) And so:

- Quoting the declaration of independence. It's been the go-to all along. (Preamble, not "Indian savages" clause.)

- Quoting Eisenhower's last speech (m.i.c.).

- Invoking the veterans. It's almost never "Fuck Imperialism." It's always we love our troops, so bring them home. (Last time that was different was the 1960s.)

.

Well, see, Jack, that's why I started that "Liberals" thread. The distinction matters now more than ever, since it's being erased so assiduously. None of the American leftists I know, whether personally or through reading, would ever sign up to a concoction that gruesome both in style and content. At the very least they would insist on replacing that flag with something else. This, for instance:

Field Specialties

Nineteenth- and twentieth-century European social and cultural history with a focus on France and Germany; material culture and the built environment; culture and politics; Jewish history; gender history and theory; colonial and postcolonial Europe

Biography

The primary national focus of my research is modern France, but I have found myself intrigued by research problems best treated transnationally. My most recent book, Cultural Revolutions, moves across the Atlantic world from Britain, to colonial and early national America, and finally eastwards again to France. My ongoing pair of projects, Strangers at Home and Conundrums of Commemoration, stay on the European continent but involve a comparative analysis of Paris and Berlin in the twentieth century. Finally, although I have not yet published extensively in this area, I maintain an active interest in and regularly teach the history of European colonialism and the postcolonial world it left behind.

Conceptually, my work focuses on the intersection of material culture, everyday life, and politics. I seek to explain how and why everyday things have become catalysts for conflict, means of expressing identities and constructing selves, vehicles for dissenting opinions, and sites of unexpected state intervention. My research agenda is based on the hypothesis, informed by phenomenology and feminist theory, that key to answering these questions is the close and careful study of material culture, but a close and careful study that always links the concreteness of everyday goods to the abstractions of polity, society, and economy.

Although the courses I offer are necessarily broader and more general than this research agenda, they have been systematically informed by it. I use material and well as visual and textual sources in virtually all my classes, and nearly all are transnational in reach.

Publications

My publications in the domain of material culture and the histories of production and consumption include two books: Cultural Revolutions: Everyday Life and Politics in Britain, North America, and France (Oxford: Berg Press, 2008; Berkeley: University of California Press, 2009); French translation (Presses Universitaires de Mirail, 2009) and Taste and Power: Furnishing Modern France (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1996). I am also currently working on two book-length projects in this area: The Everyday of Modern Citizenship: France and Germany 1918–1940 and Conundrums of Commemoration.

My articles on material cultural and politics include "Perceptions of Beauty and the Problem of Consciousness," in Lenard Berlanstein, ed. Rethinking Labor History (Urbana: Univeristy of Illinois Press, 1993); "After the Revolution: Recycling Ancien Régime Style in the Nineteenth Century," in Bryant T. Ragan and Elizabeth Williams, eds. Recreating Authority in Revolutionary France (New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press, 1992), pp. 144–174; "The Gendering of Consumer Practices in Nineteenth-Century France," in Victoria de Grazia and Ellen Furlough, eds. Sex of Things: Essays on Gender and Consumption (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1996), pp. 79–112; “Regeneration through the Everyday? Furniture in Revolutionary Paris,” in a special issue of Art History 28, no. 1 (Spring 2005), ed. Katie Scott, and; “Beyond Words,” American Historical Review (October 2005); “Historians and Architectural History,” Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians (March 2006).

My work on material culture, post-colonialism, and everyday politics in contemporary Europe includes three essays: "'Sambo' in Paris: Race and Racism in the Iconography of the Everyday," (coauthored with Tom Holt) in Susan Peabody and Tyler Stovall, eds. The Color of Liberty: Histories of Race in France, (Raleigh, N.C.: Duke University Press, 2002); "Bavarian Crucifixes and French Headscarves: Religious Practices and the Postmodern European State," Cultural Dynamics 12/3 (2000): 183–209 and "Accomodation, Resistance, and Eigensinn: Evolués and Sapeurs between Africa and Europe," in Belinda Davis, Michael Wildt, eds. Alltag, Erfahurng, Eigensinn: Historisch-Anthropologische Erkundungen (Frankfurt/New York: Campus Verlag, 2008), pp. 205–217.

My most recent area of research is at the intersection of Jewish history and material culture. Some early thoughts on those questions may be found in "'Jewish Taste'? Jews, and the Aesthetics of Everyday Life in Paris and Berlin, 1933–1942," in Rudy Koshar, ed. Histories of Leisure (Oxford: Berg Press, 2002), pp. 299–318. That reflection has taken a somewhat different turns in “Resisting Context: The Spiritual Objects of Tobi Kahn,” in Objects of the Spirit: Ritual and the Art of Tobi Kahn, ed. Emily Bilski (New York: Avoda/Hudson Hills, 2004) pp. 71-78 and “Coming Home? Jews in Postwar Paris,” Journal of Contemporary History 40:2 (2005): 237–259; “The Boundaries of Jewishness or when is a Cultural Practice Jewish?” Jewish Social Studies (Spring 2009). Finally, “Archiving a Life: Post-Shoah Paradoxes of Memory Legacies,” for a volume edited by Alf Lüdtke and Sebastien Jobs, submitted September 2008 is my most recent venture in this area.

My work in the field of feminist history and gender studies includes Différence des sexes et protection sociale (XIXe–XXe siecles), a coedited volume with Michelle Zancarini-Fournel (Paris: Presses Universitaires de Vincennes, 1995); "Feminist Theory and Social History: Explorations in the Politics of Identity," Radical History Review 53 (Fall 1992): 158–176; "Do Women's + Feminist + Men's + Lesbian and Gay + Queer Studies = Gender Studies?" differences 9, no. 3 (Fall 1997): 1–30; Le genre de la nation. Fall 2000 issue of Clio: Histoire, femmes et sociétés on gender, citizenship and the nation, coedited (with Michelle Zancarini-Fournel); "Women's Suffrage, Citizenship Law and National Identity: Gendering the Nation-State in France and Germany,1871–1918," in Patricia Grimshaw, Katie Holmes and Marilyn Lake, eds. Women's Rights and Human Rights: International Historical Perspectives (London: Macmillan, 2001), pp. 138–152 and, "Gender at the Intersection of the Disciplines," Cahiers Parisiens/Parisian Notebooks 2 (2006): 434–446.

I am a scholar of philosophy of science, science and technology studies, and cognitive science. I am currently an Associate Professor of Philosophy and History of Ideas at the University of Texas at Dallas. I am also the Director of the Center for Values in Medicine, Science, and Technology, which organizes research projects, puts on public lectures and conferences, and advocates for understanding and improving the relation between human values and culture with science and technology. I am affiliated with the faculties of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, Emerging Media and Communication, and Arts and Technology at UT Dallas.

My research focuses on the interrelations between science, on the one hand, and human practices, values, and society, on the other, and on bringing these connections to the forefront of philosophy, science studies, and the practice of science. My work challenges the view that science stands apart, and argues that, as a human practice, science not only plays a major role in society and culture, but it also is and should be deeply influenced by values and social factors. I construe science broadly to include biomedical and engineering research. My approach to philosophy is pragmatist in the broad sense of emphasizing concrete practices, and pragmatist in the narrow sense of often drawing on the work of John Dewey.

In all my teaching, I focus on providing students with hands-on experience in the distinctive activities of the field, whether I am teaching philosophy, history, interdisciplinary humanities, or the research methods of cognitive ethnography. Most of my teaching has been in philosophy; there, I aim to acquaint students with the key elements of philosophical activity: critical habits of mind, painstaking care in thinking, and creative play of ideas. While it is important for students to be aware of the distinctive insights of the philosophical tradition, it is also important not to limit their philosophical attention to the narrow problems of professional philosophy, but to reorient them to the wider problems of life and intellectual inquiry. While it is important to teach the particular arguments of philosophers, students should also be encouraged to engage philosophically with other areas of thought.

In my philosophy classes, I emphasize careful reading of texts, crafting of rigorous arguments based on evidence, as well as a accurate understanding of the issues, insight in interpretation, and, where feasible, originality of ideas and approach. Likewise, with history of philosophy or history of science, students should engage in the activity of careful interpretation of primary sources and engagement with the secondary literature. In teaching research methods, it is important to give students opportunities to practice those methods in realistic settings.

Often, as the subject-matter allows, I stress social responsibility and public engagement through service learning projects in addition to traditional academic assignments. For instance, for my philosophy of technology and science, technology, and values courses, students have created projects aimed at disseminating information about sustainable technologies for rural communities in the developing world, video games that discourage online bullying, and humorous videos encouraging viewers to recycle batteries.

I have worked at UT Dallas since the Fall of 2009. I received my B.S. from the School of Physics at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where I studied with Jon J. Johnston, David Finkelstein, Bryan Norton, and Nancy Nersessian. I received my M.A. and Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Califorina, San Diego, where my dissertation was supervised by Nancy Cartwright and Paul Churchland (and I benefited from many other wonderful faculty).

This thread. And the out of control hysteria from SLAD.

MAC said nasty untrue shit about people and I am damn well gonna make sure he stands corrected..I am not going to let him tell lies and accuse them of being fake people and fake news ...and I will continue cause that's what MAC wanted

MAC is the hysterical one

I am actually worried about you. Your health. This can't be good for you.

I've always admired you a great deal. It was you and Jeff who led me to this place and taught me a great deal.

This is consuming you.

This is such a fucking crock of shit....you two go around this board constantly harassing me for weeks and NOW you are concerned about my well being????

Are you fucking kidding me??????


If you were so concerned about my well being you fucking wouldn't be harassing me and shitting on me every fuckiing chance you get...

SO fucking PLEASE save your fake concern for my health ..actually you can shove it up your...whatever

I am just fine....I do not need your fake concern for my well being because that is actually what it is FAKE!!!


If you were really concerned you'd STOP the FUCKING HARASSMENT

[/quote]

Slad, you are completely out of order and completely out of control. How many people have to say it to you? How many people do you accuse of harrassing you, however gently they say it? How many polite or joky or concerned reponses to your posts do you respond to rudely, disrespectfully, irrationally, or even - yes - dementedly (as you did right there, and in many other places)?

Don't pretend that I am stalking or tormenting you, slad. It's not true. It's nonsense. And now suddenly it's Nordic's turn to be told he's stalking and harrassing you. How many other tormentors do you have? Today alone, you have flipped off Belligerent Savant, Kool Maudit, Rory, and I don't know how many others, just because they objected very mildly and briefly to you posting reams of stuff here without rhyme or reason.

It's been going on for weeks now, slad. It's not good, and I can only say it here because you won't accept PMs from me. What is anyone supposed to do?

I wish WR would get in touch with you.

[seemslikeadream]

STOP lying

it's only you and Nordic that are on my ass all the fucking time ...just like in this thread

I have a lot of friends here and you Nordic Kool Maudit Rory coffindogger are not ...so fucking what
yea you been fucking with me for weeks..get over it ya baby

quit making shit up ..and just stop it

just because you keep on lying doesn't make it true

You lied about those people and when you are called on it then you make shit up cause your feelings got hurt

[JackRiddler]

This is pointless, but SLAD, you would really serve yourself by not proliferating a mix of different things into constantly new threads with confusing titles. Like if you had one for the "Russia" / Electoral College / vote count disputations stuff, you'd end up with an archive to access for later, something valuable to you and everyone else, maybe even years later. (This is also true of many of AD's copy-paste threads; they're at least archives on particular identifiable subjects.) Instead you have a total mish-mash. Anyway, just a friendly suggestion.

[seemslikeadream]

stop pestering and harrassing me brekin ... i have been here forever i can do whatever i want ... i am the only one you have a problem with ... i am perfect stop hating on me..... i'll give you relevant material try this mad max lol

you are my only problem on this board brekin... always you .. only you ... you and belligerant savant ... you and belligerent savant and kool maudit .... you and belligerent savant and kool maudit and mac ... STOP HATING ON ME get your own mad max thread this thread is mine ... MINE... my thread ... MY THREAD.. what part of DISCUSSION BOARD do you not understand ... DO NOT DISAGREE WITH ME IT IS HARRASSMENT ... the russian hacking story belongs to me ... me, got it? ... get out of my thread and stop stalking me

BABY SHIT
