* Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
* Never use a long word where a short one will do.
* If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
* Never use the passive where you can use the active.
* Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
* Break any of these… ]]> Thu, 29 Apr 2010 14:55:00 -0700 http://chronicle.com/article/Bad-WritingBad-Thinking/65031/ Chtodelat? / What is to be done? http://www.chtodelat.org/ Chto delat? / What is to be done? was founded in early 2003 in Petersburg by a workgroup of artists, critics, philosophers, and writers from Petersburg, Moscow, and Nizhny Novgorod (see full list of participants on the web site) with the goal of merging political theory, art, and activism.

Our founders feared a newly empowered federal government; the Constitution is written against that fear. John Stuart Mill worried about the regulation by social norms in nineteenth-century England; his book On Liberty is written against that regulation. Many of the progressives in the twentieth century worried about the injustices of the market. The reforms of the market, and the safety nets that surround it, were erected in response. This regulator is code—the software and hardware that make cyberspace as it is. This code, or architecture, sets the terms on which… ]]> Sun, 07 Feb 2010 10:20:00 -0700 http://harvardmagazine.com/2000/01/code-is-law.html Luis Camnitzer, ALPHABETIZATION, Part Two: Hegemonic Language and Arbitrary Order http://www.e-flux.com/journal/view/91 In all the traditional approaches to pedagogy, both in art and in literacy, the possibility of perceiving the transitional nature of the space produced by text or image—the common space for author and receptor—is completely lost. The emphasis is on producing communication vessels that are static and consumable objects, for which the sign has to be well executed. In this kind of art, execution has to reach the point of desirability, which in turn defines success. Teaching and instruction are generally used as synonyms, something that reflects an implicit pedagogical ideology. The word instruction is a homonym: it refers to… ]]> Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:51:00 -0700 http://www.e-flux.com/journal/view/91 Michel Serres: Journals/Articles http://unjobs.org/authors/michel-serres Writings about author, Michel Serres ]]> Wed, 11 Mar 2009 10:45:00 -0700 http://unjobs.org/authors/michel-serres
