I know people get upset at Scottie being disrespected here, but I can't help but think how annoying he is being. 😂 Like, okay, grandpa, let's get you back to bed.
Reflecting on this episode, I remember a truly heartwarming holodeck scene. Don't know if you guys have gotten that far yet so I won't spoil it.
I'm also remembering that the Discovery crew seemed to have been rapidly brought up to date with their refit in the 29th century, something that would surely have helped Scotty here.
Yet another red shirt making the ultimate sacrifice in the original series (#TOS ) oughta be like that starred square in the middle of a bingo card, a gimme.
While 'samurai' is a strictly masculine term, the Japanese bushi class (the social class samurai came from) did feature women who received similar training in martial arts and strategy. These women were called “Onna-Bugeisha,” and they were known to participate in combat along with their male counterparts. Their weapon of choice was usually the naginata, a spear with a curved, sword-like blade that was versatile, yet relatively light.
Since historical texts offer relatively few accounts of these female warriors (the traditional role of a Japanese noblewoman was more of a homemaker), we used to assume they were just a tiny minority. However, recent research indicates that Japanese women participated in battles quite a lot more often than history books admit. When remains from the site of the Battle of Senbon Matsubaru in 1580 were DNA-tested, 35 out of 105 bodies were female. Research on other sites has yielded similar results."
If we're getting fussy about terminology, you might say 'subaltern,' which reflects a group's oppression. More radically, critical theorists sometimes say that all of us who are not among the political, economic, military, or religious elite are 'colonized.'
Gotta tell you, I have very mixed feelings about the use of the word 'colonization' here (yes, even though I mentioned it). And Franz Fanon is simply an excellent person to listen to here.
On the one hand, I can understand the rationale. This certainly is colonization of a sort. I doubt historically colonization has always been brutally violent. @histodons, can you help? But Fanon I think wants to save the word for a the brutality that certainly characterizes many--and this should not be taken lightly.
Dear academics,
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is there any reliable way to search specifically for a literature review?
Like suppose I don't want to become an expert on the psychology of moral learning, but I do want to have a sense of the general literature and positions in that literature. I find myself on Google Scholar sorting through hundreds of articles, and it feels extremely inefficient. Is there a better way?
I think the type of article you're referring to is a 'review essay.' For instance: Greta Gaard, “Vegetarian Ecofeminism: A Review Essay,” Frontiers 23, no. 3 (2002): 117-146.
I've never seen a tick box for this sort of article so I don't know how you'd search for these alone.
And yes, this is to acknowledge the other subthread here that this advertisement supports a notion of nonhuman animals as property, thus is not at all animal rights friendly. I leave to others whether a #vegan can support this—I certainly wouldn’t.
