Finishing a project always leaves me with a void. Now that i'm done, what am I supposed to do? On the whole, this isn't necessarily true as I will be rewriting this paper several times over the next few months. So, what now? There's a break for several weeks ahead of me.
I've never been one to sit and dally but I think what i'm going to do is try and do some book reviews. I think the books I will review will be:
The Community of Those Who Have Nothing in Common by Alphonso Lingis
Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Unlikely
The Exploit: A Theory of Networks
Video Kids: Making Sense of Nintendo
The Philosophical Discourse of Modernity: Twelve Lectures (Habermas)
I'm excited to be able to get some reading done outside of class and outside of the typical literature my program typically looks at. I have a month to read all of these books. I feel this is enough time to get most, if not all of these done and reviewed. I'm also excited to do some more writing on the ideas of going native.
My reviews will take a similar format:
1. Overview of the Book
2. Historical Context of the Book
3. Book's Strenghts
4. Book's Weaknesses
Each review will be around 1000 words. I will cite if I take something from somewhere else.
My current reading list is:
1. Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism, New Edition by Benedict Anderson
2. Women And Science: Social Impact and Interaction (Science and Society) by Suzanne Le-May Sheffield
3. The Gender of Science by Janet A. Kourany
4. Women, Science and Technology by Berbercheck/Gie (Author)
5. Has Feminism Changed Science? by Londa L. Schiebinger
6. Behavior in Public Places: Notes on the Social Organization of Gatherings by Erving Goffman
7. Frame Analysis: An Essay on the Organization of Experience by Erving Goffman
8. Stigma: Notes on the Management of Spoiled Identity by Erving Goffman
Good times will be mine.
