“We All Have Feelings for Our Girlfriends:” Progressive (?) Representations of Lesbian Lives on the The L Word

The Showtime series The L Word (2004–2009) marked one of the first dramatized representations of prominent lesbian characters. While many popular culture scholars are focusing attention on the recent “gaying” of television narrative (e.g., Battles and Hilton-Morrow in Critical Studies in Media Communication 19: 87–105, 2002; Shugart in Text and Performance Quarterly 23: 30–54, 2003; Critical Studies in Media Communication 20: 67–91, 2003), far less attention is given to non-romantic interpersonal relationships surrounding main characters in these narratives. Sexuality scholarship notes that lesbian individuals must negotiate their self-disclosure to heterosexuals (Dindia in Dialectical approaches to studying personal relationships, Lawrence Erlbaum Associates Inc., Mahwah, NJ, 1998), and that this can be challenging for forming relationships and maintaining identity (Meyer in Communication Quarterly 51: 262–276, 2004). Ultimately, this essay argues that despite the gains in visibility and even in intimacy, The L Word articulates an ideology of avoidance whereby the underlying problems of heterosexism and homophobia are left unchallenged.

Understanding the mathematics of hearing using electronic circuits

The human cochlea is a fascinating transduction organ that illustrates the ingenious way in which engineering problems are solved in nature. A healthy cochlea has a dynamic range in the order of~120\,dB; that is, the difference between the roar of the engines of a Boeing~747 and the faintest whisper. We discuss the recent assertion that the cochlea is governed by the dynamics of a Hopf bifurcation. In our cochlea model we discretise the basilar membrane into resonant sections with logarithmically decreasing characteristic frequencies. We show that the observed active behaviour of the cochlea can be modelled as a change in the quality factor of the individual resonant sections in a discretised model, and that this has dynamics which embody the Hopf bifurcation.

Handbook of Research on Educational Communications and Technology

This third edition of the Handbook of Research on Educational Communications and Technology is edited by J. Michael Spector (Florida State University), M. David Merrill (Utah State University), Jeroen J.G. van Merrienboer (Open University of the Netherlands), and Marcy P. Driscoll (Florida State University). It is published in 2008 by Lawrence Erlbaum Associates (ISBN-13: 978-0-8058-5849-5). The book is organized in six major parts: (1) Foundations; (2) Strategies; (3) Technologies; (4) Models; (5) Design and Development; (6) Research Methodologies. These parts reflect fundamental issues and applications involved in deploying information and communications technologies for educational purposes. Each part is led by one of the coeditors with assistance from a second coeditor and several external reviewers. The Handbook is considered to primarily be useful for doctoral students initiating a research review for their dissertation studies, for faculty as an additional resource for teaching courses on related topics, and for researchers seeking a quick review on a specific topic. All chapters have extensive lists of useful references for researchers who are new to a particular area of study and for doctoral students conducting their background research. Professional educators and educational researchers can also benefit particularly from the chapters in Parts I and VI. These chapters, as well as many others in the Handbook, are likely to be useful for those responsible for leading graduate seminars in the areas of educational technology, instructional systems, or learning environment design and development. Part I, led by Marcy P. Driscoll with assistance from J. Michael Spector, includes historical, theoretical, and methodological foundations and perspectives. Part II, led by M. David Merrill, focuses on strategies. Part III, led by J. Michael Spector, focuses on technologies. Part IV, led by Jeroen van Merrienboer, focuses on models. Part V, led by M. David Merrill, focuses on design and development. Part VI, led by Jeroen van Merrienboer, focuses on methodological issues. Let us now examine each part separately in more details.

The Interactivist Social Ontology of Persons: A Descriptive and Evaluative Synthesis, with Two Suggestions

Within the interactivist, process approach to metaphysics, Bickhard (Social life and social knowledge: toward a process account of development. Lawrence Erlbaum, New York, 2008a; Topoi 27: 139–149, 2008b; New Ideas Psychol, in press) has developed a social ontology of persons that avoids many well-known philosophical difficulties concerning the genesis, development, and application of the rational and moral capabilities and responsibilities that characterize persons. Interactivism positions developing persons inside sets of social conventions within which they participate in their own constitution as rational and moral agents who constantly transform themselves and their world. Following a description of Bickhard’s social ontology and an evaluation of its philosophical merits, two suggestions are offered with the intention of extending the explanatory reach of an interactivist ontology of persons. One of these suggestions concerns a recommended shift from processes of interaction and constructivism to processes of coordination and constitutionism. A second, related recommendation concerns the need for a more precise detailing of processes of coordinated constitution that explain the developing person’s embodied and enactive transformation from a social to a psychological being.

Crimes against Nature: Environmental Criminology and Ecological Justice. By R. White (Willan Publishing, 2008, 313pp. 18.99)

The environment is a source of international concern, with daily media and political coverage. Issues pertaining to environmental protection and sustainability have become part and parcel of contemporary social life. Green Criminology continues to emerge and assert a unique narrative within the criminological landscape (Beirne and South 2007). Illegal and negligent acts that damage the environment and result in harm to human and non-human species continue to focus the criminological lens. Rob White's Crimes against Nature: Environmental Criminology and Ecological Justice furthers existing discourses in Green Criminology. The book synthesizes, distils and critiques existing debates and discourses around Green Criminology and environmental harm. It raises numerous political, theoretical and policy issues that necessitate widespread engagement. It elevates the profile of acts that harm the environment and is written in an accessible and lively manner. As White indicates in the first chapter, the aim of the book is to ‘consider the key concerns, concepts and conundrums of environmental or green criminology’ and to ‘question, to initiate and summarise, to provoke and to stimulate’—all of which it does with a vivacious style.
