Jack Alive / Martin Dead : The Location of the "Author" in Jack London\u27s Martin Eden
No full textThis essay is an attempt to read Martin Eden, Jack Londonʼs autobiographical novel, in terms of the inextricable relationship between the author and the protagonist. Critics have often taken the unbalanced plot and the lack of ironic distance between narrator and character in Martin Eden as the technical weakness of London, but this paper argues that the achievement of this novel owes a great deal to the attachment of London to Martin. The unbalanced structure is a necessary product of the severe struggle of the author to kill his romantic alter ego. // Martin, who aspires to win Ruth Morse, tries to cross class boundaries by making a career of a writer. Even after realizing the emptiness of Ruth, who turns out to be nothing but a typical figure of the bourgeoisie, he somehow persists in loving her. The notion underlying here is that, for Martin, love, career and art are fundamentally inseparable. He objects to the aestheteʼs view of Brissenden on account of his separation of art from career. Martinʼs identity and life consist only in the triunity of love/career/art; the alternative is the repudiation of life. Thus, the unnatural delay of his disappointment in love can be regarded as Londonʼs strategy to set the suicide of Martin as the necessary consequence of the story. // By finishing the story and killing Martin, London finally detaches himself from Martin, reconstructs his self, and, unlike Martin, survives as a professional writer. In this sense, Martin Eden is a story about “writerʼs self-reconstruction.

El Brasileño y su ego-coche: una visión sociológica europea sobre el acto de dirigir en un "país del futuro"
No full textO transporte urbano é um tema bastante incomum para uma análise sociológica - não apenas no Brasil. Considera-se o assunto pertencente ao planejamento urbano e não à sociologia. Estabelecer o planejamento urbano modernista como modelo hegemônico após a 2ª Guerra Mundial, tinha o intuito de garantir o fluxo rápido e individual com o carro próprio. Mas, além dessa aproximação funcional, o transporte é também um fato social. O trânsito constitui o espaço público - especialmente no Brasil. Dificilmente podemos observar códigos e condutas sociais em outros lugares que na sociedade brasileira são tão explícitas: a grande diferença de classes e a violência cotidiana. Enquanto sociólogos normalmente se referem à violência como o número crescente de assaltos armados nas cidades brasileiras, este artigo focaliza formas de violência em nível menor: a violência de motoristas de carros contra transeuntes mais fracos nas ruas do País, tais como pedestres, ciclistas e motoqueiros. Com base na metodologia da Sociologia Visual (Gegner 2007), esta abordagem de pesquisa também integra métodos etnográficos na linha de Claude Levi-Strauss (1955). A alienação científica do pesquisador encontra apoio na lacuna cultural entre as tradições urbanas européias e brasileiras. Isso possibilita a discussão crítica de hábitos e circunstâncias que são "normais" para a maioria dos brasileiros e que, portanto, não são sequer questionadas. Assim, o "olho sociológico" (Hughes, 1971) da Escola de Chicago é reforçado pela alienação "natural" do pesquisador. Para os olhos europeus - acostumados a códigos bem diferentes na sociabilidade do trânsito - os hábitos brasileiros nas ruas parecem ser uma violação constante aos direitos humanos, como o direito à integridade pessoal e o direito de viver sem medo. Como o transporte urbano é um espaço social dominante na vida da maioria dos brasileiros, seus efeitos na psique dos indivíduos não podem ser negados. Esse artigo ressalta que agressividade e contra-agressão no trânsito são um sintoma, mas não a causa. Esta está enraizada em problemas estruturais da sociedade brasileira. A explicação hipotética para este "nível menor de violência" está no planejamento urbano modernista. Uma vez que foi implantado de forma mais drástica no Brasil, os efeitos psicológicos dos habitantes também são mais drásticos: combinando a constituição psicológica individual, com base na grande diferença de classes e desigualdade social, os indivíduos de destaque dentro do planejamento modernista, os motoristas de carro, quase não mostram nenhum respeito pelo "outro", comportando-se como "donos" das ruas.Urban transport is a quite uncommon topic for a sociological anlaysis - not only in Brasil. The issue is considered belonging to urban planning and not to sociology. With the establishment of modernist urban planning as the hegemonic model in the aftermath of World War II its airm was to guarantee a rapid individual fluxus based on the private property of a automobile. But aside of this functionalist aproach, transport is also a "fait sociale". Urban transport is constitutive for the urban public space - especially in Brasil. There is hardly any other place where we could watch social codes and conditions of the Brazilian society presented so obviously: the severe class distinctions and the quoditian violence. Whereas sociologists are referreing to violence mainly with respect to increasing numbers of weaponed assaults in Brazilian cities, this essay is focusing on forms of violence on a low level: the violence of car-drivers against weaker participants of Brazilian street transport like pedestrians, bicyclists and motor-bikers. Based on the methodology of the Visual Sociology (Gegner 2007) this research approach also integrates ethnographic methods in the traces of Claude Levi-Strauss (1955). The scientfic alienation of the researcher is backed by the cultural gap between European and Brazilian urban traditions. This allows to discuss habits and circumstance critically that are "normal" for most Brazilians and that are therefore not even questioned. So the Chicago School type of the "sociological eye" (Hughes 1971) is enforced by the "natural" alienation of the researcher. With these European eyes - accustomed to very different codes in the sociabilities of transport - Brazilian habits on the street seem be a permanent violation of human rights, e.g. the right of personal integrity and the right to live without fear for life. As urban transport is a dominant social space in the life of most Brazilians, it effects on the mental life of the individuals cannot be neglected. This essay stresses that agressiveness and counter-agression in transport is rather a symptom but not the cause, it is rooted into structural problems of the Brazilian society. The hypothetical explanation of this "low-level-violence" links it with modernist urban planning. As this has been implemented in Brasil in the most radical form its effect on the mentality of the urbanites is also most radical: Combined with the individual psychological constitution based on the deep class distinctions and the social inequality, the featured individals within modernist planning, car-drivers, show hardly any respect for "the other", they behave like "masters" on the roads.El transporte urbano es un tema bastante inusual para un análisis sociológica - no solo en el Brasil.

Establecer la planificación urbana modernista como modelo hegemônico después de la 2ª Guerra Mundial, tenía el objetivo de garantizar el flujo rápido e individual con el coche propio. Pero, además de esa aproximación funcional, el transporte es también un hecho social. El tráfico constituye el espacio público - especialmente en el Brasil. Difícilmente podemos observar códigos y conductas sociales en otros lugares que en la sociedad brasileña son tan explícitas: la gran diferencia de clases y la violencia cotidiana. Mientras sociólogos normalmente se refieren a la violencia como el número creciente de asaltos armados en las ciudades brasileñas, este artículo focaliza formas de violencia en nivel más pequeño: la violencia de conductoras de coches contra transeuntes más débiles en las calles del País, tales como pedestres, ciclistas y motoqueiros. Con base en la metodología de la Sociología Visual (Gegner 2007), este enfoque de pesquisa también integra métodos etnográficos en la línea de Claude Levi-Strauss (1955).

Experiences Using Large Scale Video Walls for Distance Education
No full textWe describe our experiences building and using the Rutgers Videowall, a low-cost telepresence system that has been used teaching 15 courses and colloquia. By relaxing typical spatial telepresence features, such as background continuity, we greatly reduced costs and gained flexibility in the rooms it could be deployed in. The lower costs and room flexibility enabled academic departments to use the wall, in contrast to traditional telepresence systems which remained inaccessible. We found that the Videowall’s spatial distortions did not have a significant impact on useability, as our initial survey results show that students had an overall positive experience.Technical report DCS-tr-72
