    Aggrandizement and the Constriction of Self."
  • and also a "media self," a public image created by the media which
    eventually permeates the athletes’ public and private lives
  • these players developed

  • they underwent a
    "self-aggrandizement," an inflation of their own sense of
    self-importance.
  • detrimental to other aspects of the self, even to the point
    of detachment from personal identity outside athletics
  • The real contribution of Baker's book, however, is that he
    sees in Willis's career a host of important issues that drive to the heart of
    antebellum celebrity culture: the commercialization of intimacy, the
    marketability of exposure, the public's desire for scandal, gossip, and
    confession.  Other commentators have described this version of celebrity as
    a twentieth-century phenomenon.  Baker corrects the record, demonstrating
    that by 1840, celebrity culture was thriving in the trans-Atlantic world.  -- DHB

mobile anonymity future

  • So that got me wondering: is there a mobile equivalent of Tor?



    For those of you who aren't familiar with it, TOR is a software project that helps Internet users remain anonymous. Running the TOR software on your computer causes your online communications to bounce through a random series of relay servers around the world. That way, there's no easy way for authorities to track you or observe who's visiting banned websites. For example, let's say you're in Beijing and you publish a blog the authorities don't like. If you just used your PC as usual and logged into your publishing platform directly, they could follow your activities and track you down. With Tor, you hop-scotch around: your PC might connect to a server in Oslo, then Buenos Aires, then Miami, then Tokyo, then Greece before it finally connects to your blogging platform. Each time you did this, it would be a different series of servers. That way, it's really difficult for authorities to trace your steps.

    Mobile Phones, Human Rights and Anonymity

    I've been playing around with my new Nokia N95 for the last couple of weeks and quite amazed with its ability to stream live video from the phone to the Internet. Like last weekend when I streamed from the Smithsonian Kite Festival; for around 30 minutes I gave a tour of the festivities and took questions from users as they watched the stream over the Internet.

    I've also spent some time talking it up with colleagues at NPR, brainstorming the possibilities of what would happen if reporters used these phones - or if their sources did. The example that keeps coming to mind regarding the latter scenario is the rioting in Tibet. While some video has leaked out, it's been limited and often delayed. Imagine if the protestors were able to webcast their protests - and the ensuing crackdowns - live over their phones using China's GSM network? The video would stream live and get crossposted via tools like YouTube, Seesmic and Twitter, spreading the content around so it can't be snuffed.

    But that raises an obvious question - how long could protestors or dissidents get away with such activities before getting caught? If you were running software on your phone to send live video over a 3G network, like I've been doing on my N95, you'd think it wouldn't take too much effort on the part of the mobile provider and/or government to figure out which phone was sending the signal and its precise location.

    So that got me wondering: is there a mobile equivalent of Tor?

  • Like most functions which break barriers of class, gender, and
    ethnicity by challenging social norms, the eighteenth-century masquerade had
    strong and vocal opponents.
  • "Middle-class moralist" such as Henry Fielding, Samuel Richardson and Eliza
    Haywood also aligned themselves with the anti-masquerade movement.
  • through their fictional
    writing and artistic expression [3]
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • Masked parties were only occasionally broken up
    by civil authorities
  • . The Weekly Journal
  • as a gathering of
    "Chamber-Maids, Cook-Maids, Foot-Men, and Apprentices" [5]
  • it was more likely that the event had been hosted by those of
    the working class rather than by the more prominent people in England's "fashionable
    society."
  • . Many opponents of the masquerade looked to
    the foreign influence of other European nations such as Italy and France and
    the Orient as the diabolical source of the "cultural epidemic" which they
    believed was invading both the morality and the national pride of England
    [7].
  • "conspiracy theories"
  • Weekly Journal another
    writer
  • "foreign Diversion" was a conspiracy on
    the part of foreign nations to neutralize the beauty of English women by forcing
    them to "hide their charms with a mask" [10].
  • equated attending the masquerade with the sexual
    act itself,
  • female attendance at the masquerade
    was viewed as a heinous, criminal offence, though not condoned, male attendance
    was more or less tolerated by the critics of the masked balls.
  • claimed that the tragedy of the Lisbon
    earthquake occurred as a result of the sin and corruption that had been infecting
    not only English culture but also the culture of the world for many years.
  • As a result of these public outcries, the masquerades were forbidden
    to take place throughout the following year [15].
  • In her comprehensive study on the eighteenth-century
    English masquerade, Masquerade and Civilization, Terry Castle explains
    that the discourse of the anti-masquerade movement which exposed the masquerade
    as "a threat to bourgeois decorum and national taxonomies" could actually
    help explain the cultural implications of the decline of the masquerade.
