“Survival – to keep writing”: An interview with Shirley Geok-lin Lim
No full textIn this e-mail interview conducted in 2016, author and scholar Shirley Geok-lin Lim addresses the changing social and political conditions in the United States. Lim discusses the affective relationship between aesthetics and politics in her work, the anxiety of multilingual stylistics, and the in-between nature of the transnation. She also reflects on the academic marginalization she has experienced as a result of her immigrant designation and subjectivity, as well as the indirect influence of China and Chineseness on her writing. Commenting on her memoir Among the White Moon Faces, Lim notes the difficulty of titling, and addresses the impact of anglophone literature upon her during her colonial Malaysian upbringing

'cultivated, / Wild, exotic': Nationalism and Internationalism in the Poetry of Shirley Geok-lin Lim
No full textBorn in multicultural Malacca during British rule, educated there and later in Kuala Lumpur and Boston, a long-time resident of the USA and a visiting professor to many countries, Shirley Geok-lin Lim seems a transnational writer par excellence. Yet much of her later work involves looking back to Malacca, “at a loss here, / Loosening my grip on yesterday,” afraid of losing “[s]hades of father and mother.” She is the author of poems, short stories, novels and a memoir, as well as literary and social criticism. The memoir, Among the White Moon Faces , is subtitled, “An Asian-American Memoir of Homelands,” and the plural noun is notable. Concentrating on her poetry, this paper charts her shifting sense of identity as Malaccan, Malaysian, American and as a woman of Chinese heritage whose language is English, through “[s]peech which is sufficient enterprise,” even though in these late poems she can feel “unmoored” and sense “the gravity / of the unmade I.

Robot Citizenship: A Design Perspective
No full textThis paper suggests robot citizenship as a design perspective for attending to the sociality of human robot interactions (HRI) in the near future. First, we review current positions regarding robot citizenship, which we summarise as: human analogy, nonhuman analogy and socio-relationality. Based on this review, we then suggest an understanding of citizenship that stresses the socio-relational implications of the concept, and in particular its potential for rethinking the way we approach the design of robots in practice. We suggest that designing for robot citizenship (in the terms suggested by this paper) has the potential of fostering a shift from a logic of functionality to one of relationality. To illuminate the direction of this shift in design practice, we include and discuss three robot concepts designed to address and rethink present HRI challenges in the urban environment from a relational perspective.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Human Information Communication DesignDesign Conceptualization and Communicatio
Renorming of ℓ1 and the fixed point property
No full textAbstractFor any k∈N, let Pk denote the natural projections on ℓ1. Let |||⋅||| be an equivalent norm of ℓ1 that satisfies all of the following four conditions:(1)There are α>4 and a positive (decreasing) sequence (αn) in (0,1) such that for any normalized block basis {fn} of (ℓ1,|||⋅|||) and x∈ℓ1 with Pk−1(x)=x and |||x|||<αk,lim supn→∞|||fn+x|||⩽1+|||x|||α.(2)There are two strictly decreasing sequences {βk} and {γk} withlimk→∞βk=0andlimk→∞γk=1 such that for any normalized block basis {fn} of (ℓ1,|||⋅|||) and x with (I−Pk)(x)=x,lim infn→∞|||fn+x|||⩾1−βk+γk−1|||x|||.(3)For any k∈N, ‖I−Pk‖=1.(4)The unit ball of (ℓ1,|||⋅|||) is σ(ℓ1,c0)-closed. In this article, we prove that the space (ℓ1,|||⋅|||) has the fixed point property for the nonexpansive mapping. This improves a previous result of the author
