This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III A TRAGEDY IX THE GRASS. Next came a cockchafer, big, heavy, and rough-footed, tumbling about like a comfortable citizen who has stayed too long at the public- house, and is going home a good deal too late, and pretty well scared at being alone. He took long steps but did not get on much, for he was blinded by the sunlight, and his great tail dragged in the sand. At first sight one would have thought that he had been feasting too deeply on the branches of the old Pear-Tree, and that some drops of dew had disturbed his brain. Yet this idea would have been very incorrect; for in truth the poor creature was only dazzled, and certainly so might any one have been in his place, for he had just made his entrance into the world. Four years before, on a fine June evening, his mother had dug a trench in the ground at the foot of the great tree, and laid some oblong eggs in it of a pale yellow colour. When she had satisfactorily accomplished this, returning above ground she inhaled the balmy breaths of air in a melancholy mood; and after having spent a few days on a leafy branch, at last fell from it and died amid the stalks of a forget-me-not. She had laid her eggs side by side; and as time went by, and they felt the reviving influences of spring, they gradually changed their colour. At last thence issued certain six-footed white larvae, and among them our cockchafer, then only a humble worm?a kind of false caterpillar with five rings. His head was scaly, hard, and rather brown; there were two great eyes in it, and it had strong jaws, finished off by a pair of short antennae. Almost with his first breath of life began sharp twinges in the region of the stomach, and he set ravenously to work, with a fierce burning, insatiable appetite. He grew and changed his ...

Download or read book Insect Media written by Jussi Parikka and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early nineteenth century, when entomologists first popularized the unique biological and behavioral characteristics of insects, technological innovators and theorists have proposed insects as templates for a wide range of technologies. In Insect Media, Jussi Parikka analyzes how insect forms of social organization-swarms, hives, webs, and distributed intelligence-have been used to structure modern media technologies and the network society, providing a radical new perspective on the interconnection of biology and technology. Through close engagement with the pioneering work of insect ethologists, including Jakob von Uexküll and Karl von Frisch, posthumanist philosophers, media theorists, and contemporary filmmakers and artists, Parikka develops an insect theory of media, one that conceptualizes modern media as more than the products of individual human actors, social interests, or technological determinants. They are, rather, profoundly nonhuman phenomena that both draw on and mimic the alien lifeworlds of insects. Deftly moving from the life sciences to digital technology, from popular culture to avant-garde art and architecture, and from philosophy to cybernetics and game theory, Parikka provides innovative conceptual tools for exploring the phenomena of network society and culture. Challenging anthropocentric approaches to contemporary science and culture, Insect Media reveals the possibilities that insects and other nonhuman animals offer for rethinking media, the conflation of biology and technology, and our understanding of, and interaction with, contemporary digital culture.
Download or read book The Alice Books and the Contested Ground of the Natural World written by Laura White and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-06-26 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though popular opinion would have us see Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There as whimsical, nonsensical, and thoroughly enjoyable stories told mostly for children; contemporary research has shown us there is a vastly greater depth to the stories than would been seen at first glance. Building on the now popular idea amongst Alice enthusiasts, that the Alice books - at heart - were intended for adults as well as children, Laura White takes current research in a new, fascinating direction. During the Victorian era of the book’s original publication, ideas about nature and our relation to nature were changing drastically. The Alice Books and the Contested Ground of the Natural World argues that Lewis Carroll used the book’s charm, wit, and often puzzling conclusions to counter the emerging tendencies of the time which favored Darwinism and theories of evolution and challenged the then-conventional thinking of the relationship between mankind and nature. Though a scientist and ardent student of nature himself, Carroll used his famously playful language, fantastic worlds and brilliant, often impossible characters to support more the traditional, Christian ideology of the time in which mankind holds absolute sovereignty over animals and nature.
