Narratives AlterLinks Topic Index Against Post-Modernism A Marxist Critique Resource Type: Book Published: 1982 Callinocos argues that the relativism preached by post-modernists leaves us with no objective criteria by which to reject those who would falsify the past. Connexions Library: Race, Racism, Ethnicity, Multiculturalism Focus Resource Type: Website Published: 2009 Selected articles, books, websites and other resources on race, racism, ethnicity, multiculturalism, identity. Descent into Discourse The Reification of Language and the Writing of Social History Resource Type: Book Published: 1990 Critique of postmodernist and poststructuralist approaches in history. Grand narratives Resource Type: Article Published: 2011 Those who reject 'grand narratives' have simply bought into the hoariest grand narrative of all, the one which says that capitalism is all-powerful and eternal. Multiculturalism or World Culture? On a "Left"-Wing Response to Contemporary Social Breakdown Resource Type: Article Published: 2000 Post-modernists are profoundly bored by any questions of economics and technology which cannot be connected to cultural differences. The implicit agenda of the multiculturalists is to present the values associated with intensive capitalist accumulation as "white male", so "non-white" peoples such as Japanese or Koreans who currently embody those values with a greater fervour than most "whites" are ignored. Neatline Resource Type: Unclassified In the broadest sense, Neatline is an annotation framework that makes it possible to create rich, interactive editions of visual objects. In the past, the project has focused on maps, but Neatline can also be used to annotate anything that has some sort of visual instantiation - the same set of vector-drawing and content management tools can be used to create interpretive views of paintings, drawings, photographs, documents, diagrams, and anything else that can be captured as an image. The Neurochemistry of Empathy, Storytelling, and the Dramatic Arc, Animated Resource Type: Film/Video What cortisol and oxytocin have to do with a 19th-century German playwright. Ontological "Difference" and the Neo-Liberal War on the Social Deconstruction and Deindustrialization Resource Type: Article Published: 2001 We have today legions of people with a smattering of knowledge turning out reams of books filled with buzz words that could be (and have been) produced by a computer program, and could be (and are) picked up in peer-group shop talk in a few months at the nearest humanities program or academic conference. Everyone these people don't like is trapped in a "gaze"; everyone "constitutes" their "identity" by "discourse"; to the fuddy-duddy "master narratives" that talk about such indelicate subjects as world accumulation these people counterpose "pastiche" and "bricolage", the very idea of being in any way systematic smacking of "totalitarianism"; it is blithely assumed that everyone except heterosexual white males now and for all time have been "subversives" (one wonders why we are still living under capitalism); a crippling relativism makes it somehow "imperial" to criticize public beheadings in Saudi Arabia or cliterodectomy practiced on five-year old girls in the Sudan. Thoughts on a Timely Narrative for the Left Resource Type: Article Published: 2012 "Without a story every battle is lost”, formulated the authors of the Wu Ming group, whose name demonstrators in Rome had on their shields which protected them from the police clubs. With the naming of great authors and narratives of world literature on their book shields they were indicating that power does not shy back from violently attacking even intellect and beauty.
