    Esperimento e realismo scientifico. Saggio su Gavid Gooding

    No full text
    Pubblicato con contributo del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche. Fra gli autori appartenenti al cosiddetto “nuovo sperimentalismo”, Gooding è quello che con maggiore consapevolezza filosofica ha cercato di superare le opposte unilateralità della received view e del sociological turn o, in altre parole, tentato di conciliare, nell’interpretazione dell’impresa scientifica, il momento cognitivo e quello sociale, il riferimento alla natura reso possibile dalla pratica sperimentale con la dimensione necessariamente intersoggettiva dell’esperimento stesso. Gooding ha fornito importanti contributi per una teoria realistica dell’esperimento, elaborando un “realismo asintotico” che presenta affinità importanti con la tradizione operazionistica. Esaminando criticamente l’epistemologia di David Gooding, l’autore ne pone tuttavia anche in luce i limiti fondamentali (anzitutto l’opzione naturalistica di fondo) e alcune ambiguità e incertezze, e sviluppa al tempo stesso alcuni aspetti del proprio operazionismo tecnico, mostrando come sia possibile connettere in modo intrinseco e contemporaneamente distinguere senza contraddizioni osservazione e teoria, natura e cultura, scienza e tecnica

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    I Don’t Wanna Say the Wrong Thing!: How to Reconcile with Race in the Classroom

    No full text
    Discussing topics centering around race can often be awkward and uncomfortable—but it doesn’t always have to be! Uncover and discover how we are closer to racial reconciliation than we think by learning the three key steps we can take inside of our classrooms. This session will persuade attendees to reflect upon their campus practices and consider additional ways in which they can provide welcoming and culturally relevant institutionalized experiences for both their current and future students. Frederick Gooding Jr. is an associate history professor and the Dr. Ronald E. Moore Endowed Professor of the Humanities at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. Featured in national publications such as the New York Times and USA Today, Gooding critically analyzes images within mainstream culture and engages audiences on racial patterns hidden in plain sight. “Dr. G,” as he is affectionately known, has also provided social commentary on CBS, NBC, and Fox News networks, and served as inaugural Chair of TCU’s Race and Reconciliation Initiative

    Response to Robert Gooding-Williams' review of <i>Dreaming Blackness: Black Nationalism and African American Public Opinion</i>

    No full text
    In Dreaming Blackness, I had two major goals. First, I hoped to elucidate how changes in the American racial landscape have impacted African American support for black nationalism. To this end, I used a mixed methodological approach that included both statistical and qualitative analysis and allowed me to make claims based on a national cross section of African Americans and on more intimate discussions in smaller groups. Second, I wanted to ground my arguments in a robust discussion of African American political thought. This would ensure that my hypotheses and findings were resonant with a longitudinal understanding of how black nationalist ideology is characterized. Robert Gooding-Williams, with some caveats, suggests that I have accomplished these goals. I now address his two areas of concern related to evolving definitions of black nationalism and possible alternative interpretations, and I conclude by addressing our differing impressions of the future viability of this ideological option.</jats:p

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

    Modernity, Ego, Earth: Notes on Robert Gooding-Williams\u27s \u3cem\u3eZarathustra\u27s Dionysian Modernism\u3c/em\u3e

    No full text
    Zarathustra\u27s Dionysian Modernism. This is indeed a title that raises questions, a fragwürdig title, as Heidegger would say. For how can modernism be inflected by these two ancient, not to say archaic, figures of myth and legend, Zarathustra and Dionysus? And how can Nietzsche, cited so often as a paradigmatic postmodern thinker, aim at a new variety of modernism in the book he thought of as his central contribution? Robert Gooding-Williams\u27s book is a dazzling achievement, because it forces us to rethink a host of issues and questions that lie behind these questions. After some prefatory thoughts about reading and deconstruction, I will focus on: (1) some questions concerning Nietzsche and modernity that frame Gooding-Williams\u27s book; (2) reading the drama of Zarathustra, with special reference to the question of the self and the need to transcend the limits of the individuated ego; and (3) the status of body and earth in Gooding-Williams\u27s account of Zarathustra\u27s Dionysianism
