Speculative Realism: Resources on an Emerging Discipline
No full textSpeculative Realism is a contemporary philosophical movement taking its name from a 2007 conference held at Goldsmiths College in London, England. Speculative Realism is difficult to define: like the hodgepodge of divergent theories falling under the label Postmodernism, it is less an internally consistent set of ideas than a diverse group of theories unified against a common adversary. Speculative Realists and their allies are combating what they call “correlationism,” or the belief that all existence is reducible to the human experience of existence. Thus they claim, against theorists as varied as Immanuel Kant, Jacques Derrida, and Karl Marx, that there is a world outside of the mind, language, and economic forces. The exact nature of this world, however, is the source of much dispute. This paper lists internet resources related to the school of thought as well as philosophy in general.not peer reviewedSubmitted by Eric Phetteplace ([email protected]) on 2010-11-19T01:22:07Z

Previous issue date: 2011-04-01published or submitted for publicationA 25% increase in Instant Messaging inquiries received at the University of Illinois at Urbana led us to create a “remote services” desk that would answer questions from IM, email, and SMS. To best fit this new service to our patrons' needs, assessment data was used to understand the nature of interactions and isolate trends in virtual reference, including which patrons use it, what types of questions they ask, and when they ask them

2020 Art+Feminism Edit-a-thon
No full textOn April 2nd of 2020, CCA Libraries & Art Practical hosted California College of the Arts' 6th annual Art+Feminism Wikipedia edit-a-thon aimed at addressing the gender imbalance and skewed coverage of Wikipedia.
