Download or read book Virtual Mirrors First Journal written by Crystal Raven and published by Crystal Raven, LLC. This book was released on 2019-07-04 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gemma Sullivan seemed to have it all: She had wealth, status, intelligence, and stunning natural beauty. The one thing missing was what she desired the most—a male counterpart equal to her in every way. Unfortunately for Gem, the world she was born into had a shortage of the alpha male she was dreaming of. Gemma lived in a time of restricted freedom and self-determination, which sadly for her also included an almost total lack of privacy and sexual liberty. The type of man she was looking for was completely out of fashion and possibly extinct. For a woman with a seemingly unquenchable libido, the laws and moral attitudes that repressed the natural interaction between men and women made her miserable. If she couldn’t find the man she wanted the old fashioned way, then perhaps the technology of the day would provide a suitable alternative. So began Gem’s quest for personal gratification. On the invitation of her platonic best friend, Gemma went underground to an exclusive sex club. Avoiding the eyes of the law, this was a place where virtual reality sex, and even artificial humans, were designed to provide almost any pleasure imaginable. Even still, Gemma's’ basic needs were not met. She hatched a new plan: if the man she really wanted didn’t exist then she would just have to make one.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Furthering her quest for a true alpha male, Gemma Sullivan uses her own programming skills, believing she could design her own state-of-the-art personal robotic companion. Seeking help from technology industries that already manufactured the best in artificial intelligence and robotics, she would add her advanced intuition algorithm to create the most advanced synthetic man on the planet Earth. Teaming up with the CEO of one such company, Gemma travels the world as a consultant. In doing so, Gemma is exposed to a larger world of intrigue than she could have possibly imagined. She learns that the very designs she has created and tested on her own may actually be used enslave her and those like her even deeper than they already are. In order to prevent a global nightmare, Gemma must grow as an individual and learn to rely on her own wits and intuition. Luckily she isn't alone. Learning of this unintended paradox in the nick of time, Gemma forms an alliance with her closest friend, her father, and some allies she meets during the journey. Among the latter, Gem places her faith in one mysterious man in particular.
Download or read book The Fable of the Mirrors written by Xie Weihe and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-07-24 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the impact of network society on self-identity and education and proposes key tasks for transforming education in network society. Using the metaphor of the "mirror", the book describes the environment and changes in network society based on the internet and information technology. As the diversity and complexity of network society increases, people see more and more self-images in the large mirrors, leading to a variety of developmental orientations and self-identities, as well as more opportunities for objectification. However, this often leads to confusion as to which image in the mirror really represents oneself. This social framework, which forms the backdrop of modern education, poses new challenges for self-identity formation and educational development. The author emphasizes the role of education in constructing a new "mirror" that can lead children and young people to a better perception of themselves, and thus to self-identification and self-realization. The title will be of interest to scholars and students in the fields of educational theory and sociology of education, as well as general readers interested in topics related to network society, identity, and education.

Download or read book Mario Lavista written by Ana R. Alonso-Minutti and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Composer, pianist, editor, writer, and pedagogue Mario Lavista (1943-2021) was a central figure of the cultural and artistic scene in Mexico and one of the leading Ibero-American composers of his generation. His music is often described as evocative and poetic, noted for his meticulous attention to timbre and motivic permutation, and his creative trajectory was characterized by its intersections with the other arts, particularly poetry and painting. Understanding analysis as an affective practice, this study explores the intertextual connections between the multiple texts-musical or otherwise-that are present in Lavista's music. It argues that, through adopting an interdisciplinary and transhistorical approach to music composition, Lavista forged a cosmopolitan imaginary to challenge imposed stereotypes of what Mexican music should sound like. This imaginary becomes a strategy of resistance against imperialist agendas placed upon postcolonial peripheries. Departing from traditional biographical and chronological frameworks that exalt masters and masterworks, this book offers a nuanced, personal narrative informed by conversations with composers, performers, artists, choreographers, poets, writers, and filmmakers. Implementing an innovative mosaic of methodologies, from archival work, to musical and intertextual analysis, oral history, and (auto)ethnography, this book is the first to offer a contextual framing of Lavista's career within a panoramic view of contemporary music practices in Mexico during the past fifty years"--
