*ambles in*

why is writing NS posts inherently more natural than writing about personal narrative as a legitimate means of knowledge-making in post-femenist adcademic discourse? Both are entirely constructed. grumble.

Because NSG is simple.

There's a legal age limit? :confused:

Of course not... *shifty eyes*

Therefore, I order a beer. Any kind, I'm not particularly picky.

I think I will. bartender! um...a drink with no patriarchal antecedents please.

how does this sound for an intro people?
Personal Narrative:
The introduction of self in academic writing

The construct of objectivity in western academic discourse, across the disciplines, is a revered value. It is a trademark of rigor and a symbol of fairness: contrasted to religious creeds, indoctrinated into undergraduates, and boasted to other cultures. Objectivity – the removal of oneself -- is what makes our work authoritative, what lends it strength, and what defines it as academic. It is what makes us consider western philosophy and science elevated beyond their situatedness in time and context, and meaningful in the search for what the world itself is about. It is what makes us right.
Science and social science particularly, in their use of the scientific method, emphasize the removal of the researcher from both the methodology and communication of research, placing value exclusively on data and impersonal interpretation and analysis. Even disciplines that are not data-dependant, but rather evolve by the sole creativity and innovation of individual researchers, like philosophy and literary theory, have developed theories and discourses to construct objectivity, assiduously removing the self from their academic writings. The removal of self from academic inquiry, be it from methodology or communication, is a core value of academic communities, even in those where the removal must be laboriously constructed and painstakingly maintained. Everywhere, it is enforced. Philosophy, after all, relies on the logical as science relies on the experimental to fit theory to a generalized trend. It is perhaps surprising then, that in an academic culture whose very foundation is the quest for objective generalizable knowledge of the world, deliberate, self-conscious individual subjectivity is taking hold. What was once dismissed as “anecdotal evidence” has been re-branded as “personal narrative” and embraced as a legitimate, nay essential, aspect of knowledge-making in over a range of academic disciplines, including medicine, social science, and literary theory. How has individual story-telling been integrated into the existing framework of positivistic knowledge-making in a manner consistent with the philosophy and methods of modern (post-enlightenment) western academics? What is the niche that is appropriate for personal narrative to occupy in academics, and how should it get there?

Every word in that is a 20-dollar word. And that's the intro?

I think I will. bartender! um...a drink with no patriarchal antecedents please.

too much "to be" in there?

There is an unlimited stock as we're right next to an alcohol river!

too much "to be" in there?I know. keeping momentum high in this type of thing is ha-ard. action verbs! I need action verbs!
there'a lot of passive construction too. but that's hard to avoid unless I use the first-person pronoun, which I dunno if is the greatest idea.

Of course not... *shifty eyes*

Therefore, I order a beer. Any kind, I'm not particularly picky.

Unless you're carrying one or more certain 'faulty' alleles for liver alcohol dehydrogenase, you'll be fine. You're not of SE Asian, African or Native American descent are you?

im pretty sure its a terrible idea. im not much on critiquing academic papers. i have a hard enough time understanding what is being said without having to consider how its said.

better have another drink. it will all be clearer afterwards.

No.

I'm from t3h und3rgr0und!!11!1!!1!

Seriously though, why are SouthEast Asians, Africans, or Native Americans more vulnerable to liver alcohol dehydrogenase? Or whatever no-alcohol tolerance is called...

No.

Nah, it's an enzyme that converts ethanol to ethanal in your liver, the first step in removing alcohol. SE Asians, some areas of Africa and Native Americans are more susceptible to alcohol's intoxicating effect compared to people of European descent because there are different versions of the enzyme - Europeans and white Americans mainly have the most efficient version, whereas other areas of the world often have less efficient versions. The net result is that we process alcohol more quickly. I believe it has to do with water purification techniques around the world providing different selection pressures i.e. the tea vs. alcohol purification. Anyway it means that people from those areas often get drunk much quicker, although they're less prone to become alcoholics.

Too much? I had to do 4 weeks of labs (18h per week) on different ADHs, it's stuck with me.

You know what that sounded like, right? (the bolded sentence):p

You know what that sounded like, right? (the bolded sentence):p
The truth? :p

Nah, I know what you mean. If anyone wanted to argue that point though, they'd just have to go and look at allelic distributions amongst populations. It's only a given phenotype that can be present in anyone, it just happens, by natural selection, that the European variant is more widespread in European and and close European descendents.

Actually, European's probably misleading, I think it extends well into the middle-East.

*drinks her Iced tea*


which reminds me of this time, when I was in a bar (I know *gasp*) and this guy offered to buy me a Martini, but I said "I don't really like to mix my liquors" because I wanted him to go away, and then he didn't go away and so, I decided if he was going to annoy me I was going to get a drink out of it, so I ordered a Long Island Iced Tea and the bartender caught it, but the guy didn't and that's when I knew he was indeed and idiot.

*walks back in with new gear*
so much for bring back in five

First one, then the other.Oh, good. I figured you wouldn't be offended by that post of mine, but I'm never quite sure. Good to know. ;)

<Looks at own chest.> I'm still undeveloped!

I'm going to have to look the fool here. Around me, a long island iced tea serves as the most alcoholic coctail and, in some cases, is sold in plastic fisbowls. So, to my ignorant question - what did the barkeep catch that the fool didn't?

a martini has more than one type of alcohol in it, and my reason for refusal was that I "don't mix my liquor" meaning that I would prefer straight shots or drinks with only one type of alcohol (like bourbon and coke) but then I went on to order a drink that has more different kinds of alcohol than a martini, in fact here it has like 6 different kinds.........

so, anyway, nevermind.

Sorry to hear that. Yes, it's a maddeningly addictive medium, this forum. Don't quite understand it, myself - it's just so very active, I suppose. But anyway, enough of the monkeys on our backs.

What I did want to say is that - whatever form of spirituality you subscribe to, or come to subscribe to, whatever belief you feel to be real and meaningful (and provided that belief is harmful to none) is real; is meaningful; is as valid as any other belief, be it organized worship or individual worship or no worship at all.

Sorry to hear that. Yes, it's a maddeningly addictive medium, this forum. Don't quite understand it, myself - it's just so very active, I suppose. But anyway, enough of the monkeys on our backs. Y'know, the other day when HotRodia shut down your thread, I was actually a little upset. Not irate or anything, but I was just getting into an interesting discussion about organized worship when he just *draws finger across own throat* shut 'er down.
I was posting a reply rather lengthy to something or another that upset me (can't remember what) and when I hit the add reply button it said "this thread is closed" :(

maybe you can go be a voice of reason in the disturbing pictures from China thread?

Well, I can't resist the appeal of my mike-twin over here. I'm takin him home to give him a trial run.

I love my beer goggles. I just hope he doesn't think less of me in the morning...

*take's bottle goes sit next to the fire place*

No, you don't. But whose voice of reason was it?

Dobbsworld, I believe.

Another round, please!

I resent the implication that I am in any way reasonable. And if you don't retract your incredibly hurtful, spiteful, scurillous and malicious flaming insinuation forthwith, I will run, disconsolate and teary-eyed to find some authority figure or other to uncontrollably whimper the details of the depths of my self-righteous discontent. Or something.

Nah, I'm really actually just completely full of shit tonight.

Corona? Blech.
*toasts with Single Malt*

Corona's great for getting hammered, especially at 80p a bottle near me.

Corona? Blech.
*toasts with Single Malt*

Corona's a nice drink if you're not out to get totally plastered. It beats Coors Light or *shudders* Budweiser...

As for single malt... s'alright. I prefer beer. Easier to gauge your progress, so to speak. Hangovers are more bearable as well.

Just stay away from Tequila, unless you're willing to pay the price.

A safe choice. We all need a D.D. now and again anyways.

You DO drive I hope? Otherwise, we'd have to force feed you something alcoholic as punishment.
