Althusserian Ideology - 1 views

  • With the rise of industrialization, urbanization, mass culture and public institutions, intellectuals began to consider the influence of these phenomena in shaping the individual personality, and the recognition that identity is socially dependent gained acceptance.
  • Many of these thinkers study the concept of subjectivity or the belief that identity is socially constructed and that it is formed in relation to dominant beliefs, values and norms known as ideology.
  • Althusser was the first cultural theorist concerned with ideology to put the subject at the center of his research (Chandler 181).

  • Regardless of our willingness to take on these subject positions, Althusser maintained that we are unaware of the extent to which they determine our thoughts, behaviour and relations to others (Smith 54).

When Size Matters: Genital Retraction Syndromes in Cultural Perspective - 1 views

    WARNING: The page ahead is in .pdf format, and may cause problems for those who don't have adobe uploaded on their systems, or those using older browsers. In Senegal and the Congo, rioting have already occured over this - allegations that strangers (sometimes foreigners) have stolen the penises of the men that they've shaken hands with or merely touched. It's witchcraft, you know. It would almost be funny, if nobody had been hurt, but some of the accused witches have been killed. This is a paper I found linked to about the phenomenon. See link above, on my bookmark list. Note the non-.edu address. I can't vouch for the credentials of the authors, so read this one with guarded skepticism. That having been said, Reuters has reported these incidents - this is not an urban legend.

How Cashapp Accounts Are Used For Business Transactions? - Quora - 0 views

  •  
    There are a few things you need in order to get a verified CashApp account. First, you'll need to provide your full name, date of birth, and the last four digits of your Social Security number. You'll also need to link your CashApp account to a bank account or debit card. Once you have all of this information entered into the system, you'll be able to request verification. You may be asked to verify your identity by providing a photo ID. Once you've been verified, a green check mark will appear next to your name on the CashApp home screen. This means that all future payments sent or received by this account will be automatically deposited into or withdrawn from your linked bank account.
