Apologías por cuaesquiera errores en la traducción
En 2005 me concedieron un PhD de la universidad de Newcastle NSW Australia y mi investigación, un discurso del cuerpo de los datos en imagen y texto, centrado alrededor de las aventuras y de la proyección de imagen de mi entidad/avatar electrónicos el Bimbo Borg, (disponible en www.bimboborg.org). El Bimbo Borg tenía muchas manifestaciones y aventuras incluyendo;
El Bimboborg hace el espacio de C.
En espacio del c del `el Bimbo Borg experimenta el entrenamiento en el mantenimiento de un cuerpo femenino físico y el desarrollo de una mente femenina emocional. Es dentro de espacio del c del `que el Bimbo Borg intenta desarrollar una vida real. El espacio de C del `es `C'yberspace o el espacio virtual que incluye el Internet así como el `C'DRoms o cualquier `C'yberworld producido por el `C'omputers. Es un espacio que es `C'ulturally producido y consideraba un nuevo Eden para la producción técnica de artificial, vida de C'reative del `de los datos. Está dentro del espacio virtual del Cyberspace que mi suspiro-borg, el Bimbo Borg, tentativas de definir su humanidad.
Cyborg del ciudadano.
El Bimbo Borg, el cyborg inmortal, poste-humano tiene un anhelo de ser humano, ser mirado como igual. Es solamente en el estado humano que es posible alcanzar la aclaración [según la filosofía budista.]. Es solamente los seres humanos que tienen ciudadanía.
Como competidor en la competición de Srta. Patriarchal Universe
“Srta. Universe” es una competencia del Cyberspace, donde compiten las bellezas por todas partes del mundo sabido. Todos los contendientes (cuerpos de los datos) parecen el Bimbo Borg. Esta competencia de belleza del Cyberspace se llena de los contendientes que toda mira iguales y todos suenan similares aunque están de diversas nacionalidades. Ensamblamos a los cinco finalistas afortunados en diversas categorías tradicionales de la competencia de belleza, el traje de baño y las competiciones eveningwear, y turno de preguntas.
Finalmente como cruzado contra estereotipos. El Bimbo Borg y sus hermanas sugieren que poder abordar las aplicaciones la feminidad y los estereotipos construidos, hablando vía una entidad electrónica, a través de un cuerpo de los datos. De hecho muchos cuerpos de los datos se pueden emplear por las mujeres para trabajar contra estereotipos.
Desde la realización de mi PhD ha habido un número de incidentes en mi vida real (en comparación con mi vida de la pantalla) que me han incitado volver al concepto de sabotear estereotipos. Estos incidentes de la vida real incluyen actos de violencia espantosos; la masacre en el VT, la violación de uno mis estudiantes y la decapitación de un estudiante en el edificio al lado de donde enseñaba.
El director de los programas de los estudios de las mujeres, Barbara Ellen Smith, estados en una letra al presidente de la tecnología de Virginia eso; “La violencia que este campus ha experimentado recientemente profundo gendered; es la violencia de hombres contra mujeres y debe ser reconocido y ser condenado como tal. Advertencias benignas al " utilice el caution" adicional; o " viaje en un grupo y utilice solamente los caminos bien iluminados, " particularmente en la ausencia de cualquier declaraciones más otra de la administración central, implique que propios failings de las mujeres son culpar por su persecución.”
Fuera de sensaciones del aislamiento y de la impotencia, he vuelto, mejorado, y reinvertido en el proyecto estereotipado del sabotaje. Esta vez, dirigiendo la investigación a la gente verdadera (en comparación con cuerpos de los datos), particularmente gente joven que se hace frente con los efectos limitadores de estereotipos o de la amenaza estereotipada. La intención del nuevo sabotaje en línea del estereotipo del proyecto, pues estaba en el viejo, es debunk verdades universales, especialmente preconcepciones u opiniones metafísicas del essentialist sobre mujeres, e insertar una agenda feminista dentro de la tecnología de la información. La tecnología de la información empleada para el proyecto estereotipado del sabotaje es las herramientas fácilmente disponibles vía el Internet; blogs http://bimboborg.blogspot.com, captura video rápida vía el youtube http://www.youtube.com/StereotypeSabotage, trabajo sociales de la red, facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Stereotype-Sabotage/57019885815 y gorjeo (http://twitter.com/StereotypeSabo).
Según Brian Solis de techcrunch.com, en el día 10 de marzo de 2009 175 millones de usuarios están en Facebook y otros seis millones (y el crecimiento) están en gorjeo. El sabotaje estereotipado tiene el potencial para alcanzar a un mucho público y quizás para ayudar a otros que también tengan sensaciones de la impotencia debido a la limitación/a los efectos debilitantes de estereotipos. Las punterías del proyecto para deconstruct género exponiendo asunciones patriarcales y de esta manera para romper para arriba sistemas coherentes de significado y para construir los nuevos significados que constituyen a mujeres como hablando temas o como temas femeninos positivos diferentes de qué son impuestos por el paradigma dominante y por lo tanto para entregar la agencia verdadera a las mujeres. El paradigma dominante también tiene un efecto sobre las vidas de hombres, quizás previniendo la agencia masculina verdadera e insistiendo en conformidad. El feminismo pregunta todas las construcciones del género y reconoce diversidad. Para animar diversidad es afirmar la dignidad de toda la gente sin importar la raza, género, clase social, o la otra categoría social, feminismo insiste en la equidad para todos.
El Internet ahora es una parte de nuestra experiencia viva. Sin embargo, este los “nuevos medios”, arena abstracta se deben codificar con valores feministas para realzar nuestra calidad de vida. Como mujeres, debemos participar completamente en el reino disembodied del Internet no como justificación de la glorificación cartesiana del disembodiment masculino pero algo en un acto de la agencia verdadera. El Internet puede ser una oportunidad feminista.
En línea, podemos desarrollar las redes de la ayuda (facebook, myspace) y establecer las amistades o las relaciones (match.com, e-armonía). Podemos crear y controlar a nuestros propios avatares (segunda vida). Podemos expresar nuestras opiniones sobre nuestro propio canal del youtube. La revolución de la información puede responder a las necesidades y quiere de la comunidad entera algo que las mujeres que sirven la cultura de corriente. Debemos ser por siempre vigilantes en la fabricación de contribuciones a la nueva información de los medios que no nos requiere servir los intereses de la sociedad de consumidor capitalista.
El proyecto, sabotaje estereotipado, es un llamamiento a las armas para la gente, los hombres y las mujeres para utilizar su propia voz personal, agencia verdadera, para luchar los papeles y los estereotipos estrechos asignados a ellos. Para sabotear los papeles que la sociedad de corriente nos tendrá vivir indiscutiblemente. Los estereotipos pueden ser cambiados si los identificamos persistente y disempower los. Para sabotear un estereotipo es dejarlo llegar a ser viejo y cansado.
Cuáles son los estereotipos que están que concierne los hombres y las mujeres en http://www.youtube.com/StereotypeSabotage.
El pueblo británico tiene malos dientes.
La gente de la India no come la carne de vaca.
Los hombres asiáticos son misogynistic.
De pelo corto, las mujeres del motocicleta-montar a caballo hombre-están odiando a lesbianas.
Las mujeres no tienen una sensatez de la dirección y de ninguna opinión espacial.
Los individuos de Frat party todo el tiempo.
Las mujeres no son buenas con tecnología.
Los asiáticos son buenos en la matemáticas. Programación del amor del informático.
Los frikis de la computadora son weaklings masculinos. La educación del arte es fácil.
Los individuos de Frat son todos los hombres de consumición de los deportes de la cerveza.
Las mujeres asiáticas son apacibles y de tono suave. Hombres del té y de la música country del sur de hielo del amor.
Las mujeres son hermosas en un tamaño 0 o 2.
Los hombres grandes necesitan ser resistentes.
Las mujeres son seres dependientes.
Las mujeres no pueden jugar la música de cobre amarillo
El académico de las mujeres no es tan bueno como hombres en la investigación.
Las mujeres dirigidas rojas tienen malos genios.
Estos estereotipos aunque sean saboteados con éxito por los participantes en el canal del youtube están estando al acecho siempre apenas debajo de la superficie de nuestras vidas. De hecho una vez que usted piensa en ella usted ve estos estereotipos por todas partes y comienza a preguntarse es yo que conforma o es yo que sabotea y si tan porqué debo incomodo después de todo, los estereotipos tienden a ahorrar tiempo.
Según lo indicado irónico por el almacén de la cebolla, “You' con referencia a un individuo ocupado. Y, mientras que you' amor de d a, usted don' t tiene la época de familiarizarse con cada persona que usted encuentra en el curso de su vida de cada día. Agradezca tan la calidad que usted tiene un pequeño dispositivo práctico en su disposición que las ayudas usted sepan tratar apenas de alrededor de cualquier persona usted parece: estereotipos. Sí, los estereotipos son - tiempo - un ahorrador verdadero!” el almacén de la cebolla. Camiseta.
En el nuevo statusphere en línea del contemporáneo la vida él es tan importante no bajar en la trampa de la estereotipia. Debemos ser por siempre atentos de nuestras palabras y opiniones. Tan conveniente como los estereotipos pudieron aparecer en última instancia afectan profundamente a la gente alrededor de nosotros y contribuyen a un mundo de la opresión, de la suspicacia, del miedo y de la disfunción.

Stereotype Sabotage - The paper
Laboratory of Art,Technology and Gender
The Center for Social Sciences and Humanities
Madrid Spain March 2009.
In 2005 I was awarded a PhD from the University of Newcastle NSW Australia and my research, A Data Body Discourse in Image and Text, centered around the adventures and imaging of my electronic entity / avatar the Bimbo Borg, (available at www.bimboborg.org). The Bimbo Borg had many manifestations and adventures including, The Bimboborg does C space, Citizen Cyborg, as a competitor in the Miss Patriarchal Universe competition and finally as a crusader against stereotypes.
Since that time there have been a number of incidents in my real life (as opposed to my screen life) that have prompted me to return to the concept of sabotaging stereotypes. These real life incidents include horrific acts of violence; the massacre at VT, the rape of one my students and the beheading of a student in the building next to where I was teaching.
The director of the Women’s Studies programs, Barbara Ellen Smith, states in a letter to the president of Virginia Tech that; “The violence that this campus has recently experienced is profoundly gendered; it is the violence of men against women and should be recognized and condemned as such. Benign admonitions to "use extra caution" or "travel in a group and use only well-lit pathways," particularly in the absence of any further statements from central administration, imply that women’s own failings are to blame for their victimization.”
Out of feelings of isolation and powerlessness, I have returned, revamped, and reinvested in the Stereotype Sabotage project. This time, directing the research to real people (as opposed to data bodies), in particular young people who are faced with the limiting effects of stereotypes or the stereotype threat. The intention of the new online project Stereotype Sabotage, as it was in the old, is to debunk universal truths, especially metaphysical preconceptions or essentialist views on women, and to insert a feminist agenda within information technology. The information technology employed for the Stereotype Sabotage project are the tools readily available via the Internet; blogs http://bimboborg.blogspot.com, quick video capture via youtube http://www.youtube.com/StereotypeSabotage, social netting working sites, facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Stereotype-Sabotage/57019885815 and twitter (http://twitter.com/StereotypeSabo).
According to Brian Solis of techcrunch.com, as of March 10, 2009 175 million users are on Facebook and another six million (and growing) are on Twitter. Stereotype Sabotage has the potential to reach a large audience and perhaps help others who also have feelings of powerlessness due to the limiting / debilitating effects of stereotypes. The project aims to deconstruct gender by exposing patriarchal assumptions and in this way break up coherent systems of meaning and to construct new meanings that constitute women as speaking subjects or as positive feminine subjects different from what is imposed by the dominant paradigm and consequently deliver true agency to women. The dominant paradigm also has an effect on the lives of men, perhaps preventing true male agency and insisting on conformity. Feminism questions all gender constructions and acknowledges diversity. To encourage diversity is to affirm the dignity of all people regardless of race, gender, social class, or other social category, feminism insists on equity for all.
The Internet is now a part of our lived experience. However, this “new media”, abstract arena must be encoded with feminist values to enhance our quality of life. As women, we must fully participate in the disembodied realm of the Internet not as vindication of the Cartesian glorification of male disembodiment but rather in an act of true agency.
The Internet can be a feminist opportunity. On-line, we can develop support networks (facebook, myspace) and establish friendships or relationships (match.com, e-harmony). We can create and control our own avatars (second life). We can express our opinions on our own youtube channel. The information revolution can serve the needs and wants of the entire community rather than women serving mainstream culture. We must be forever vigilant in making contributions to new media information that doesn’t require us to serve the interests of capitalistic consumer society.
The project, Stereotype Sabotage, is a call to arms for people, both men and women to use their own personal voice, true agency, to fight the narrow roles and stereotypes allotted to them. To sabotage the roles that mainstream society will have us live without question. Stereotypes can be changed if we persistently identify them and disempower them. To sabotage a stereotype is to let it become old and tired.
What are the stereotypes that are of concern to the men and women at http://www.youtube.com/StereotypeSabotage.
British people have bad teeth.
People from India don’t eat beef.
Asian men are misogynistic
Short haired, motorcycle-riding women are man-hating lesbians.
Women don’t have a good sense of direction and no spatial perception.
Frat guys party all the time.
Women are not good with technology.
Asians are good at math.
Computer scientist love programming
Computer geeks are male weaklings.
Art education is easy.
Frat guys are all beer drinking sports men
Asian women are gentle and soft spoken
Men from the south love ice tea and country music
Women are beautiful at a size 0 or 2
Big men need to be tough
Women are dependent beings
Women cannot play brass
Women academics are not as good as men at research
Red headed women have bad tempers.
These stereotypes although successfully sabotaged by the participants on the youtube channel are always lurking just beneath the surface of our lives. In fact once you think about it you see these stereotypes everywhere and begin to wonder am I conforming or am I sabotaging and if so why should I bother after all, stereotypes tend to save time.
As ironically stated by the Onion Store, “You're a busy guy. And, while you'd love to, you don't have the time to get to know every person you encounter in the course of your daily life. So thank goodness you have a handy little device at your disposal that helps you know how to deal with just about anyone you come across: stereotypes. Yes, stereotypes are a real time-saver!” the onion store. T-shirt.
In the new on-line statusphere of contemporary living it is so important not to fall into the trap of stereotyping. We must be forever mindful of our words and opinions. As convenient as stereotypes might appear ultimately they deeply affect the people around us and contribute to a world of oppression, suspicion, fear and dysfunction.
