Digital Leather Set To Rock Tempe's The Manor on Saturday
Digital Leather will play The Manor this Saturday night, making sure to rock the very foundation of the unique venue
The live Digital Leather sound is ugly and raw like a porkchop sitting out in the sun crawling with maggots. But still, you are starving to death. So you eat it. Mmmm.
Digital Leather will be bringing all of this -- synths, grime, rotten pork chops -- to Tempe's The Manor this Saturday night. Question is, will you be there to revel in the all the shameless (or shameful, however you choose to look at it) glory?
Digital Leather is a band that is really all over the place. Foree's sound wavers between pure, garage rock layered with punk and melodic, haunting odes featuring lyrics such as "Long live the new skin / Death to the old flesh / I'm born again / With a sin in my heart" (from the track "My Fame.") It's a trying mixture that sometimes confuses the listener but, ultimately, wins them over. That variety gives Digital Leather's latest LP, Warm Brother its charm -- a charm that will kick you in the ass when you're not looking, but one that you end up buying a few beers at the end of the day.

Summary | Excerpt | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
Most of the stories in Claire Vaye Watkins's debut story collection, Battleborn, take place in the arid setting of Nevada. Both the cities and the desert are equally, if differently, inhospitable to the lonely, often damaged people who populate the pages of her stories. "From where the house was perched, high up on the alluvial fan, the valley below seemed to unfurl and flatten like a starched white sheet. The sun was rising, illuminating the peaks of the Last Chance Range to the west, starting its long trip across the Black Rock
Something was different in the distance. A small white cloud of dust billowed on the horizon. It grew. At its eyes was a speck. A truck."
In this desolate environment, people can see trouble, like that pickup truck, coming from miles away. And trouble seems to find them, whether in the form of overt threats or suppressed bad memories and ancient demons. ...
*For those who are a little rusty on their scientific classifications - pinnipeds are fin footed mammals including walruses, seals and sea lions (Latin pinna meaning wing or fin, and ped - foot).

Compelling reason: application is in Fedora today, maintained in fedorahosted and ends up in RHEL. A year after RHEL release, the app is obsoleted by something else in Fedora. Thus, the app in hosted basically gets very little in the way of updates. But keeping the source repository available is very important for any updates later needed for RHEL. Jeremy

Is Klout On The Way Out?
This morning, Klout launched a new algorithm, which has affected the scoring of Social Media users "Online Success Scores." " This change has caused a dramatic decrease in the Klout scores of most users and all platforms on Social Media are ablaze with discordance, confusion and anger in regard to Klout. Klout scores have dropped on average, ten points.
Have you been put in Klout timeout?
I asked Klout why my Network Influence Score was dropping down every Wednesday for 3 – 4 points. The answer I received from Klout is shocking. If you are still under the spell of Klout, be sure that you don't spend much time engaging and supporting your friends who are new to Social Media. Klout is an example of a brand gone bad. Digg Digg.
Is Klout Really Accessing Your Protected Tweets?
Last week I wrote, "Klout Story Part 1 – Are you reading between the lines? " , which concentrated on some of Klout's privacy issues. Klout's Marketing Manager, Ms. In her reply she said that Klout gathers public information to create a Klout profile and that they don't breach any privacy issue by doing so. AA_DF – Klout.
Once Upon a Time With Klout….The Final Chapters
just loved Dabney Porte's story of the Pied Piper and felt is so appropriate to share here as it is very relevant to how many of us feel we have been manipulated by Klout. As I emerge from the fairytale state that the brand we now know as Klout, has lured many of us into, I have made a decision to wake up. I, like many have decided to opt out of the Klout scoring and marketing game.
How to Get Your Profile and Data Completely Disconnected from Klout
November, 1 2011: As of today you can request complete opt-out of your Klout account! Login your Klout account —> profile settings —> if you would like to delete your account press here! Your account will be removed, note that will take up to 7 days to get removed from Klout API. It is recommended that you still revoke all access of Klout as well.
Clout vs. Klout – Or the Real Meaning of Social Influence
They say rank is the key to identifying an initial set of influencers and suggest using a Klout score as a good way of identifying rank. But a recent Forbes article, "Don't Fall for this Sneaky Klout Trick Designed to Suck You In," highlighted the lengths Klout goes to in order to motivate users to artificially increase their rankings. The article shows how Klout tries to make users feel bad about themselves by assigning an initial low score of only 10. Have you been put in Klout timeout? Digg Digg.

That's what you do with a post title now and then. However, now that you're [.].
Coping with the Klout Reality
Geoff Livingston
Marketers and individuals will have to deal with social scoring in the form of Klout and its sister technologies. haven't written about Klout outside of general discussions on social scoring for a good long while. But I had a second reason: As a professional communicator, it's become increasingly clear that we won't escape Klout, Kred and PeerIndex. Or worse?
Twitter Gives Advertisers More Klout
SocialTimes Twitter
Twitter provided more details on the Klout enrichment that it discussed in its announcement earlier this week that the updated (2.0) Gnip product manager Greg Lyon said in a blog post that Twitter's Klout enrichment 2.0 allows brands and agencies to: Rank influencers based on Klout data to evaluate potential follow-up for promotional, endorsement or sponsorship opportunities. Twitter said Klout enrichment 2.0 is available to all brands and agencies starting Thursday. Twitter advertisers: Have you incorporated Klout into your previous campaigns?
Why Klout and Kred Fail
Geoff Livingston
The speech took to task social scoring technologies Klout and Kred for failing to predict influencers and movements as they arise. Someone who achieves a high Klout score for something notable, already created that act. How do Klout and Kred handle topical real-time relevancy?

Klout: A Call To Inaction
Spin Sucks
In fact, most people thought the Klout menace was nothing but a distraction, and yet they still looked upon it with fascination. On this day, the Klout was in a foul mood and deemed its followers unworthy. It is not known why the Klout monster became unhappy, though there are many rumors. It is the people who put themselves out there and share their lives that have Klout.
Why You Should Care About Klout
Ari Herzog
The recent addition of LinkedIn to the mix of social media considered when calculating a Klout score has left many wondering about Klout, how to raise your score, and whether it matters after all. Have you heard of Klout ? As more and more marketing professionals look for ways to measure and manipulate influence online, Klout is emerging as a force too big to be ignored.
Why Klout Doesn't Measure True Influence
Waxing UnLyrical
I'll admit that it's fun to bash Klout. Posts have been written ad nauseam (including on this blog, though they're not the nauseating kind) on the plusses and minuses of Klout's service , but I think I've finally nailed down what bothers me about the service (which I'm still a member of and will continue to use). What's your proof, LaCasse?
What You Can Learn about Gaming from Klout +K
Spin Sucks
I'm not a fan of Klout. Determining But my point is that Klout has figured out how to use all four of the dynamics he discusses with +K: Appointment, influence and status, progression, and community. Klout does this by giving you five +K points to award to friends each day. Klout Perks, I guess. Or a high Klout score, perhaps. But I have to hand it to them.
Why Klout Should Not Be A Synonym For Influence
Waxing UnLyrical
The tool that's making the most rounds these days, it seems to me, is Klout. There have been blog posts ad nauseam by online influencers (and I don't mean to use that term in a belittling way, so please don't anyone take it that way) on online tools such as Klout. Now, I have no axe to grind with Klout. I'm sure Very Nice People work there. YAY TEAM!!!!!
Bing and Instagram – How will they affect Klout scores?
Janet Fouts
Klout recently announced the addition of Instagram interaction and Bing searches to their algorithm. It's about Klout's new additions. In the meantime I did a short video on Klout's analytics. Think your stats on Klout are incorrect? Actually I use Bing very rarely, I prefer Google, even after I took the Bing Challenge. Has your score been impacted?
Klout Adds WordPress But Not For Self Hosted Blogs?
Jason Yormark
A few weeks ago I noticed that Klout had added the WordPress button to the available channels to connect to which was encouraging. But to not include and factor self hosted blogs is a serious miss on Klout's part. Apparently not based on this support thread on Klout's own site. How 1 Blog Post Increased My Klout Score. But not so fast. Why does this matter?
Klout's Effect On The Classroom, Your Career & More
A Klout score, while controversial to many, is becoming more mainstream and carrying more weight in the real world. Get the latest scoop in today's must-reads: Klout in the Classroom: Grading Students on Social Media Use. Klout Would Like Potential Employers To Consider Your Score Before Hiring You.

The Klout Drama Kontinues
Waxing UnLyrical
I cannot believe how much drama there is around Klout's most recent changes. Last week, I clicked through to an email Klout sent me telling me I had new notifications (yes, now I've realized that they're doing that every day, and I'm not going to fall for it any more; suffice it to say I wasn't having a particularly smart day) on my profile. "Bacon."
When #measurePR met Klout
Waxing UnLyrical
Last week, the special guest on #measurePR was Megan Berry of Klout. Given Given how vocal I've been about how problematic I find many elements of Klout , it was pretty decent of her to be willing to participate. Why should we take Klout seriously? think Megan handled the questions with grace, but I still think Klout leaves a lot to be desired.

Klout Needs to Target and Segment for It to Work
Spin Sucks
I didn't really want to add to the conversation about Klout. received an email from Klout asking if I am interested in learning more about some new movie or something (I didn't really pay attention) Kobe Bryant is doing. It turns out, according to Klout , I am more influential than Jay Leno. didn't feel like I had anything new to add. But then. Riiiiiight.
How 1 Blog Post Increased My Klout Score
Jason Yormark
So I went on a blog hiatus for a few weeks, and it certainly made a significant impact on my Klout score.

I know what you're thinking; big deal right? It's not a big deal at all really.
Why Critics of Klout Are Missing the Big Picture
Convince & Convert
Other than signing book deals, the favorite sport of the social media punditry these days seems to be bashing Klout. The most recent example was from B2B social media thinker Paul Gillin who wrote a post unveiling the flaws in Klout's ranking scheme. Instead, they object to the very notion and existence of Klout. How the hell does that work without something like Klout?
Does Size Really Matter When it Comes to Klout?
Shift Digital
I remember the moment I learned about Klout. To be honest, I didn't even know what the coveted word "klout" meant. Rainbows appeared and I asked myself what it all meant. I kept track of my Klout score for awhile and noticed what affected my score. It was a pretty logical process. What is klout? How can you improve your Klout score?
Social Influence and the Impact of Klout API
Laurel Papworth
Klout is the social media measurement tool that measures influence – how many followers, how much interaction and the style of interaction that a person has in their personal or business social network.

2011 NBA Playoffs: Head-to-Head Twitter Matchups by Klout Score
Adam Sherk
Since I like looking at the social media presence of NBA teams I thought I'd run the 2011 playoff teams through the beta version of the new Klout to see how the fare against each other. Atlanta had the worst Klout score in the conference so that doesn't sync with their surprising performance thus far in the playoffs. In the second round the Magic proved no match for the Bulls.
Why I Can't Trust Klout Anymore
Bill Hartzer
Klout is a site that measures your influence on the web, using social media sites. Essentially, the more influential you are on social media websites, the higher your Klout score is. The score goes from 1 to 100, and I would say that it's pretty easy to get a Klout score of 30 or higher. Currently, my Klout score is 66 , which is really not that bad if you ask me. After, all, Duane Forrester's Klout score is 74: It's all good, right? Well, let's take a look at the BEST CONTENT that Klout recommends that I share. well, no.
Klout and Kred – Social Influence Comparison

In particular, I've aimed my arrows at Klout. But within the last year, there is a new player, Kred, which hasn't quite caught on the way Klout did. I still understand the value of measuring influence from the perspective of brands and analytics. Recently, several high profile social media people have removed themselves from Klout all together.

Klout and Peerindex – social network loyalty cards?
The Way of the Web
Like a lot of people, I'm registered on both Klout and Peerindex , which both attempt to track my online influence in slightly different ways to give one overall score which can be compared to others in my areas of interest. The hook with Klout and Peerindex is that you tend to receive awards if you reach a certain level of influence, which requires you to use specific networks.

What is 'Subrogation'
Subrogation is a term denoting a legal right reserved by most insurance carriers. Subrogation is the right for an insurer to legally pursue a third party that caused an insurance loss to the insured. This is done as a means of recovering the amount of the claim paid by the insurance carrier to the insured for the loss.
BREAKING DOWN 'Subrogation'
Subrogation literally refers to the act of one person or party standing in the place of another person or party. Subrogation in the insurance sector, especially among auto insurance policies, occurs when the insurance carrier takes on the financial burden of the insured as the result of an injury or accident payment and seeks repayment from the at-fault party.
One example of subrogation is when an insured driver's car is totaled through the fault of another driver. The insurance carrier reimburses the covered driver under the terms of the policy, and then pursues legal action against the driver at fault. If the carrier is successful, it must divide the amount recovered after expenses proportionately with the insured to repay any deductible paid by the insured.
Subrogation is not only relegated to auto insurers and auto policyholders. Another possibility of subrogation occurs within the health care sector. If, for another example, a health insurance policyholder is injured in an accident and the insurer pays $20,000 to cover the medical bills, that same health insurance company is allowed to collect $20,000 from the at-fault party to reconcile the payment.
Subrogation Process for the Insured
Luckily for policyholders, the subrogation process is very passive for the victim of an accident from the fault of another party. The subrogation process is meant to protect insured parties; the insurance companies of the two parties involved work to mediate and legally come to a conclusion over payment. Policyholders are simply covered by their insurance company and can act accordingly. It benefits the insured in that the at-fault party must make a payment during subrogation to the insurer, which helps keep the policyholder's insurance rates low.
However, in the case of an accident, it is still important to stay in communication with the insurance company. Make sure all accidents are reported to the insurer in a timely manner and let the insurer know if there should be any settlement or legal action. If a settlement occurs outside of the normal subrogation process between the two parties in a court of law, it is often legally impossible for the insurer to pursue subrogation against the at-fault party. This is due to the fact most settlements include a waiver of subrogation.

New charges in Blackwater shootings
WASHINGTON The Justice Department on Thursday brought fresh charges against four former Blackwater Worldwide security contractors over a deadly 2007 shooting on the streets of Baghdad.
A new grand jury indictment charges the men in a shooting that inflamed anti-American sentiment in Iraq amid an ongoing war. The men were hired to guard U.S. diplomats.
The guards are accused of opening fire in busy Nisoor Square on Sept. 16, 2007. Seventeen Iraqi civilians died, including women and children. Prosecutors say the heavily armed Blackwater convoy used machine guns and grenades in an unprovoked attack. Defense lawyers argue their clients are innocent men who were ambushed by Iraqi insurgents.
The guards were charged with manslaughter and weapons violations in 2008, but a federal judge the following year dismissed the case, ruling the Justice Department withheld evidence from a grand jury and violated the guards' constitutional rights.
The dismissal outraged many Iraqis, who said it showed Americans consider themselves above the law. Vice President Joe Biden, speaking in Baghdad in 2010, expressed his "personal regret" for the shootings.
A federal appeals court reinstated the case in 2011, saying now-retired Judge Ricardo Urbina had wrongly interpreted the law.
Prosecutors again presented evidence before a grand jury, and U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth gave the Justice Department until Monday to decide what to do with the case.
The defendants include Dustin Heard, a retired U.S. Marine from Knoxville, Tenn.; Evan Liberty, a retired U.S. Marine from Rochester, N.H.; Nick Slatten, a former U.S. Army sergeant from Sparta, Tenn., and Paul Slough, a U.S. Army veteran from Keller, Texas.
Slatten is charged with 14 counts of voluntary manslaughter and 16 counts of attempt to commit manslaughter; Liberty and Heard are charged with 13 counts of voluntary manslaughter and 16 counts of attempt to commit manslaughter; and Slough is charged with 13 counts of voluntary manslaughter and 18 counts of attempt to commit manslaughter.
They were charged under the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act, a statute that allows the government to prosecute certain government employees and contractors for crimes committed overseas.
Defense lawyers have argued that statute does not apply in this case since the guards were working as State Department contractors, not for the military.
Heard's lawyer, David Schertler, said in an email he was disappointed with the prosecution, which he believes has no merit.
"We will continue to fight and defend Dustin Heard's innocence and honor until he is fully exonerated," he said.
Lawyers for Slough and Slatten declined to comment. Liberty's lawyer did not respond to requests for comment.
In a statement, U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr. said the prosecution "demonstrates our commitment to upholding the rule of law even in times of war and to bringing justice to the memories of those innocent men, women and children who were gunned down in Baghdad more than six years ago."

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP)–Sometime before Saturday afternoon, about 700 NFL players are going to be searching for work.
Michael Sam has one last chance to ensure he's not among them.
When the St. Louis Rams and the Miami Dolphins meet on Thursday night in their preseason finale, it's a virtual certainty that most of the first-stringers from both sides will not play, a customary event for teams hoping to avoid an injury problem so close to the regular season.
And that means players like Sam — the Rams' defensive end who looks squarely on the roster bubble — should get plenty of plays, or in other words, plenty of opportunities to make one last impression on coaches before teams finalize 53-man rosters.

It's no surprise that Penske Racing rewarded Will Power with a full-time IndyCar ride for 2010. Hired as an insurance policy while Helio Castroneves' tax case played out, the 28-year-old Australian manged a victory, two poles and four top-five finishes in six starts.
But maybe it's just the actual announcement Thursday that made me notice: That's one kick-butt team. Castroneves is a three-time Indy winner. (Note: Castroneves' victory total was corrected once readers straightened me out below.) Ryan Briscoe emerged in 2009 as a threat everywhere and a title contender. And Power was phenomenal before he suffered season-ending back injuries in a crash in August.
That's Penske the way we've always known Penske but 50% larger than in recent years.

Northport Family Dental
Dental Implants, Dental Implant, Implant Dentist
Do you have a missing tooth or need to have a tooth extracted? If so, dental implants are often the best choice for replacing the missing tooth. We're pleased to offer our patients the convenience of implant treatment from start to finish right here at our Northport dental office.
Choosing Dental Implants
When assessing a severely compromised tooth, a dental implant is only one restorative option available to us. Predictability and anticipated length of service are just a few of the factors we consider when comparing alternative treatments.
However, there are times when site-specific anatomy may favor the choice of a "permanent" bridge. What's important is that we take the time to explain the options available to you and have a dialogue about which option is best and why.
How Dental Implants Work
Dental implants are simply titanium root replacements that serve as a means of support and allow for restoration of function to the tooth. Implants can support a single post and crown or serve as the substructure for replacement of multiple missing teeth.
Having this option of a "third set" of teeth allows for tremendous opportunity in restoring not only someone's smile, but often their self-esteem. For many, the loss of function can actually rise to the level of a true disability. Considering this, a successful dental reconstruction can positively affect your quality of life.
Placing Your Dental Implants
Nobody likes surprises. We prefer to map out our route before taking the trip. The time we spend planning placement of your dental implant benefits you because it translates into precise positioning and shorter treatment times.
When placing a dental implant, we start by looking at the restoration that will be used. In other words, we allow the final restoration to dictate, as much as possible, where the implant needs to be, and state-of-the-art cone beam imaging is at the core of our pre-surgical planning. This system allows us to visualize available bone volume three-dimensionally and measure the quantity and quality of bone available for placement of your implant and subsequent restoration.
A surgical guide, fabricated to the specifications of the plan, is used to simplify implant placement in cases where appropriate. Whether or not we use this guide will be based on the information provided by the 3-D scan.
Each patient has unique needs, and it is our responsibility to assess, explain, and make our preferred treatment recommendations. This approach provides you with all the information you need to make an informed decision about your treatment.
Uses for Dental Implants
We use dental implants in a number of ways:
Replacement of a single tooth
Support for a "permanent" bridge
Added retention for an existing full or partial denture
Replacement of a removable denture with a hybrid
A hybrid is referred to as a fixed-detachable. It is attached to implants with screws and is removable only by the dentist. Since it sits directly on the implants and not on soft gum tissue, there is no movement as there is with traditional removables.

Standpoint theory
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Standpoint theory is a postmodern method for analyzing inter-subjective discourses. This body of work concerns the ways that authority is rooted in individuals' knowledge (their perspectives), and the power that such authority exerts.
Standpoint theory's most important concept is that an individual's own perspectives are shaped by his or her social and political experiences. Standpoints are multifaceted rather than essentializing: while Hispanic women may generally share some perspectives, particularly with regard to ethnicity or sex, they are not defined solely by their participation in these categories. The amalgamation of a person's many experienced dimensions form a standpoint—a point of view—through which that individual sees and understands the world.
Standpoint theorists emphasize the utility of a naturalistic, or everyday experiential, concept of knowing (i.e., epistemology). One's standpoint (whether reflexively considered or not) shapes which concepts are intelligible, which claims are heard and understood by whom, which features of the world are perceptually salient, which reasons are understood to be relevant and forceful, and which conclusions credible.[1]
Standpoint theory supports what feminist theorist Sandra Harding calls strong objectivity, or the notion that the perspectives of marginalized and/or oppressed individuals can help to create more objective accounts of the world. Through the outsider-within phenomenon, these individuals are placed in a unique position to point to patterns of behavior that those immersed in the dominant group culture are unable to recognize.[2] Standpoint theory gives voice to the marginalized groups by allowing them to challenge the status quo as the outsider within. The status quo representing the dominant white male position of privilege.[3]
The predominant culture in which all groups exist is not experienced in the same way by all persons or groups. The views of those who belong to groups with more social power are validated more than those in marginalized groups. Those in marginalized groups must learn to be bicultural, or to "pass" in the dominant culture to survive, even though that perspective is not their own.[4]
Standpoint theory was more theory based in the beginning, but now communication scholars, especially Nancy Hartsock, are focusing on looking at communication behaviors. Standpoint theory began when Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, a German philosopher, studied the different standpoints between slaves and masters in 1807.[5] He claimed that the master-slave relationship is about people's belonging positions, and the groups affect how people receive knowledge and power.[6] Karl Marx also discussed how the position of a worker shapes his or her knowledge. From these two scholars' studies, Nancy Hartsock examined standpoint theory by using relations between men and women. From this view, Nancy Hartsock published "The Feminist Standpoint: Developing Ground for a Specifically Feminist Historical Materialism". The theory was similar to a combination of Marxist theory and feminism. Then, Hartsock put Hegel's ideas of masters and slaves and Marx's ideas of class and capitalism into issues of sex and gender. She refers to sex as a biological category and gender as a behavioral category. Therefore, Hartsock called this theory "Feminist Standpoint Theory" in 1983. The focus of this theory is women's social positions, such as race, class, culture, and economic status.[7] "Developed primarily by social scientists, especially sociologists & political theorists; it extends some of the early insights about consciousness that emerged from Marxist/socialist feminist theories and the wider conversations about identity politics. Standpoint theory endeavors to develop a feminist epistemology, or theory of knowledge, that delineates a method for constructing effective knowledge from the insights of women's experience."[8] The theory arose amongst feminist theorists, such as Dorothy Smith, Nancy Hartsock, Donna Haraway, Sandra Harding, Alison Wylie, Lynette Hunter and Patricia Hill Collins.
According to this approach:
- A standpoint is a place from which human beings view the world.
- A standpoint influences how the people adopting it socially construct the world.
- A standpoint is a mental position from which things are viewed.
- A standpoint is a position from which objects or principles are viewed and according to which they are compared and judged.
- The inequalities of different social groups create differences in their standpoints.
- All standpoints are partial; so (for example) Standpoint feminism coexists with other standpoints.
Key concepts[edit]
A standpoint is the point where we view the world around us. The standpoint theory strives to understand the world from the standpoint of women and other marginalized groups in society. Generally, the standpoint theory gives insight into specific circumstances only available to the members of a certain collective standpoint. According to Michael Ryan, "the idea of a collective standpoint does not imply an essential overarching characteristic but rather a sense of belonging to a group bounded by a shared experience." That viewpoint can also be said about women who identify as feminists and exhibit strong preferences for specific issues. Kristina Rolin states, "Whereas the assumption of essentialism is that all women share the same socially grounded perspective in virtue of being women, the assumption of automatic epistemic privilege is that epistemic advantage accrues to the subordinate automatically, just in virtue of their occupying a particular social position."[9]
Although Standpoint theories realize that this theory has a limited source of proof, they emphasize that the main characteristics of standpoint theory is a feminist theory, as well as the nature of life, which are defined as:
- The main focus is sex or gender.
- The view of sex or gender relations is uncertain.
- The view of sex or gender relations is variable.
Also, standpoint theory makes assumptions about the nature of life:
- Class position gives a limited perspective on social relations.
- Ruling groups dominate subordinate groups and suppress the subordinate groups' opinions.
- Ruling groups have more powerful standpoint than subordinate groups.
In addition to these assumptions, standpoint theory suggests knowledge which is created by knowers as a concept of the theory. Knowledge is a familiarity with someone or something, which can include facts, information, descriptions, or skills acquired through experience or education. Also this theory highlights that social locations affect men and women's reactions in their social life. It means that "the perspectives of women's lives are more important key points than women's experiences," although this feminist standpoint theory needs to be developed by hearing more from those women who have not been examined as a part of this method.[10]
Being that standpoint theory focuses on marginalized populations, it would prove relevant within fields that focus on these populations as well. Standpoint has been referenced as a concept that should be acknowledged and understood in the Social Work field, especially when approaching and assisting clients.[11] Many marginalized populations rely on the welfare system to survive. Unfortunately, those who structure the welfare system typically have never needed to utilize its services before. Standpoint theory has been presented as a method to improving the welfare system by recognizing suggestions made by those within the welfare system.[12] In Africa, standpoint theory has catalyzed a social movement where women are introduced to the radio in order to promote awareness of their experiences and hardships and to help these women heal and find closure.[13] Another example dealing with Africa is slavery and how slavery differed greatly depending on if one was the slave or the master. If there were any power relationships there could never be a single perspective. No viewpoint could ever be complete, and there is no limit to anyone's perspective.
Feminist standpoint theory[edit]
|It has been suggested that this article be merged into Standpoint feminism. (Discuss) Proposed since October 2016.
Feminist standpoint theorists make three principal claims: (1) Knowledge is socially situated. (2) Marginalized groups are socially situated in ways that make it more possible for them to be aware of things and ask questions than it is for the non-marginalized. (3) Research, particularly that focused on power relations, should begin with the lives of the marginalized.[14]
Feminist standpoint theorists such as Dorothy Smith, Patricia Hill Collins, Nancy Hartsock, and Sandra Harding claimed that certain socio-political positions occupied by women (and by extension other groups who lack social and economic privilege) can become sites of epistemic privilege and thus productive starting points for enquiry into questions about not only those who are socially and politically marginalized, but also those who, by dint of social and political privilege, occupy the positions of oppressors. This claim was specifically generated by Sandra Harding and as such, "Starting off research from women's lives will generate less partial and distorted accounts not only of women's lives but also of men's lives and of the whole social order."[15] This practice is also quite evident when women enter into professions that are considered to be male oriented. Women in science are a perfect example as not only a select few are allowed, but those who get in find it difficult to climb the structural ladder. Londa Schiebinger states, "While women now study at prestigious universities at about the same rate as men, they are rarely invited to join the faculty at top universities...The sociologist Harriet Zuckerman has observed that 'the more prestigious the institution, the longer women wait to be promoted.' Men, generally speaking, face no such trade-off."[9]
Standpoint feminists have been concerned with these dualisms for two related reasons. First, dualisms usually imply a hierarchical relationship between the terms, elevating one and devaluing the other.[16] He also said that when we suggest that decisions should be made rationally, not emotionally, for example, we are showing that reason holds a higher value in our culture than does emotion. Also, related to this issue is the concern that these dualisms often become gendered in our culture. In this process, men are associated with one extreme and women with the other. In the case of reason and emotion, women are identified with emotion. Because our culture values emotion less than reason, women suffer from this association. Feminist critics are usually concerned with the fact that dualisms force false dichotomies (partition of a whole) onto women and men, failing to see that life is less either/or than both/and, as Relational Dialectics Theory holds.
- Postmodern critique – The basis of this critique is summed up by scholar, Seyla Benhabib. She sums it up by stating, "transcendental guarantees of truth are dead;... there is only the endless struggle of local narratives vying with one another for legitimization." What this says is that there cannot be one way that all people should act in certain circumstances, but rather studies and theories focused on the common good of the public majority. This critique also states that there is not any narrative in which we can base one universal version of truth in societies around the world. The moral ideals of the Enlightenment and Western liberal democracy are discredited by postmodernists.
- Communitarian critique – This critique focuses on how the theory looks at relationships and communication without knowing anything about the history of the people, relationships, or obligations within the communication premise. Real-life is messy and has several aspects behind every interaction. In order to avoid this generalization, Benhabib suggests that we should study ordinary people who live in communities instead of performing a study in an unfamiliar environment.
- Feminist critique – This critique's basis is that Habermas disregards gender distinctions while forming this theory. The theory ignores the history of women and how they have been confined in society both politically and socially and therefore is not an adequate observation of the differences that may be present between men and women.[17]
There has been agreements between feminist standpoint theorist that a standpoint is not just a perspective that is occupied simply by the fact of being a woman. Whereas a perspective is occupied as a matter of the fact of one's socio-historical position and may well provide the starting point for the emergence of a standpoint, a standpoint is earned through the experience of collective political struggle, a struggle that requires both science and politics.[18] He then went to say that while both the dominant and the dominated occupy perspectives, the dominated are much more successfully placed to achieve a standpoint. However, this is not saying that those who occupy perspectives that are not-marginalized cannot help in reaching a shared critical conscientious with relation to the effects of power structures and epistemic production. Only through such struggles can we begin to see beneath the appearances created by an unjust social order to the reality of how this social order is in fact constructed and maintained. This need for struggle emphasizes the fact that a feminist standpoint is not something that anyone can have simply by claiming it. It is an achievement. A standpoint differs in this respect from a perspective, which anyone can have simply by 'opening one's eyes.'[19]
Strong objectivity and the relation to feminist standpoint[edit]
The notion of strong objectivity was first articulated by feminist philosopher Sandra Harding. Strong objectivity builds on the insights of feminist standpoint theory, which argues for the importance of starting from the experiences of those who have been traditionally left out of the production of knowledge. By starting inquiry from the lived experiences of women and others who have been traditionally outside of the institutions in which knowledge about social life is generated and classified, more objective and more relevant knowledge can be produced.[20] Naples also stated that Harding argued that knowledge produced from the point of view of subordinated groups may offer stronger objectivity due to the increased motivation for them to understand the views or perspectives of those in positions of power. A scholar who approaches the research process from the point of view of strong objectivity is interested in producing knowledge for use as well as for revealing the relations of power that are hidden in traditional knowledge production processes. Strong objectivity acknowledges that the production of power is a political process and that greater attention paid to the context and social location of knowledge producers will contribute to a more ethical and transparent result.
Joseph Rouse says, "The first lesson suggested by standpoint theories has not been sufficiently emphasized in the literature. Standpoint theories remind us why a naturalistic conception of knowing is so important. Knowledge claims and their justification are part of the world we seek to understand. They arise in specific circumstances and have real consequences. They are not merely representations in an idealized logical space, but events within a causal nexus. It matters politically as well as epistemically which concepts are intelligible, which claims are heard and understood by whom, which features of the world are perceptually salient, and which reasons are understood to be relevant and forceful, as well as which conclusions credible."[21]
Black feminist[edit]
Black feminist thought is a collection of ideas, writings, and art that articulates a standpoint of and for black women of the African Diaspora. Black feminist thought describes black women as a unique group that exists in a "place" in US social relations where intersectional processes of race, ethnicity, gender, class, and sexual orientation shape black women's individual and collective consciousness, self-definitions, and actions.[22] As a standpoint theory, black feminist thought conceptualizes identities as organic, fluid, interdependent, multiple, and dynamic socially constructed "locations" within historical context. Black feminist thought is grounded in black women's historical experience with enslavement, anti-lynching movements, segregation, Civil Rights and Black Power movements, sexual politics, capitalism, and patriarchy. Distinctive tenets of contemporary black feminist thought include: (1) the belief that self-authorship and the legitimatization of partial, subjugated knowledge represents a unique and diverse standpoint of and by black women; (2) black women's experiences with multiple oppressions result in needs, expectations, ideologies, and problems that are different from those of black men and white women; and (3) black feminist consciousness is an ever-evolving concept. Black feminist thought demonstrates Black women's emerging power as agents of knowledge. By portraying African-American women as self-defined, self-reliant individuals confronting race, gender, and class oppression, Afrocentric feminist thought speaks to the importance that knowledge plays in empowering oppressed people.One distinguishing feature of Black feminist thought is its insistence that both the changed consciousness of individuals and the social transformation of political and economic institutions constitute essential ingredients for social change. New knowledge is important for both dimensions to change.[23]
Tina Campt uses standpoint theory to examine the narrative of the Afro-German Hans Hauck in her book Other Germans.
First introduced by Patricia Hill Collins, Black feminist standpoint is known to be a collective wisdom of those who have similar perspectives from subordinate groups of society. Collins offers two main interpretations of the consciousness of oppressed groups.
- The first claims that those who are being oppressed identify with the dominate groups and therefore have no effective self-governing interpretation of their own oppression.
- The second approach assumes that the subordinate are 'less human' than those above them making them less capable of understanding and speaking of their own experiences. While Black women may have common experiences, this does not suggest, however, all Black women have developed the same thought as one another.
Black feminist standpoint theory aims to bring awareness to these marginalized groups and offer ways to improve their position in society.[24][25]
Though similar in some ways, Black feminist standpoint has many differences compared to the original theories of Dorothy Smith and Nancy Hartsock about standpoint theory. Black feminist standpoint argues that the knowledge gained about an individual or other groups in society is gained from multiple factors related to their historical position in society. Black women offer an alternative position that reveals a representation of others from a different perspective. Feminist standpoint theory aims to acknowledge the diversity of women by welcoming the views of other oppressed groups of women.[26]
Unlike those in the privileged social groups, Black women have access to knowledge about everyone from the most oppressed to the most privileged. This is due to the fact that certain realities of oppression are invisible to those who are in the dominant groups because they do not experience the same as the oppressed or are even aware of how their actions may affect the subordinate group all together. Black women, on the other hand, have a better perspective on different standpoints from direct experience and can offer their suggestions to help the more marginalized groups of our society. This standpoint that Black women have can also be seen as "bifurcated consciousness", which is the ability to see things both from the perspective of the dominant and from the perspective of the oppressed and, therefore, to comparatively evaluate both perspectives.[25]
Not all women, however, have exactly the same experiences. Because of this, there is no singular standpoint of all women. This led to the development of Black feminist epistemology. Patricia Hill Collins first introduced the idea of Black feminist epistemology saying that it derives from the personal experience of Black women dealing with both racism and sexism. She uses this epistemology to empower Black women to hold their own control. She describes them as "outsiders within." By this she means that Black women have experienced enough from the inside to understand where they lie socially while also having enough distance from the dominant groups to offer critique.[25]
Heidi Mirza also offers an analysis of black feminist standpoint saying that from their perspective, new dialogues are formed. She recognizes that Black women are sometimes known as the 'other' and offers her term saying they have a status as a 'third space' between the margins of race, gender, and class. She suggests that in this space, there is 'no official language and discourse. Because of this, Black women are put in the position of 'active agents' and are responsible to share their perspective and offer new insights.[26]
It was not until the latter part of the 1990s that there was more of a focus on Black women. Numbers of both films and published works of Black women began to emerge. This marked an important transition from years past when the only works to be published or put on screen were those of more dominant groups. The only works of Black women that are recognized previous to this time are those from the early part of the nineteenth century. The works of Mary Prince (1831) and Mary Seacole (1837) are the more commonly known writings today. Aside from those few, the next notable published work was not until Sylvia Wynter (1962) and Maryse Conde (1988) leaving a gap of over 120 years of little to no work of Black women. This gap shows how powerless Black women were in a market position. Although we see more and more work of Black women in our society today, there still remains a lack of control and limited input over their works; it must be confined to certain areas in order for them to have any opportunity and publication.[26]
Critics argue that standpoint theory, despite challenging essentialism, relies itself on essentialism, as it focuses on the dualism of subjectivity and objectivity.[27] In regards to feminist standpoint theory: though it does dispel many false generalizations of women, it is argued that focus on social groups and social classes of women is still inherently essentialist. Generalizations across the entire female gender can be broken into smaller more specific groups pertaining to women's different social classes and cultures, but are still generalized as distinct groups, and thus marginalization still occurs. West and Turner stated that an author by the name of Catherine O'Leary (1997) argued that although standpoint theory has been helpful in reclaiming women's experiences as suitable research topics, it contains a problematic emphasis on the universality of this experience, at the expense of differences among women's experiences.
Another main criticism of Harding and Wood's standpoint theory is the credibility of strong objectivity vs. subjectivity. Standpoint theorists argue that standpoints are relative and cannot be evaluated by any absolute criteria, but make the assumption that the oppressed are less biased or more impartial than the privileged.[15] This leaves open the possibility of an overbalance of power, in which the oppressed group intentionally or unintentionally becomes the oppressor. Intentional overbalance of power, or revenge, can manifest as justification for extremism and militarism, which can sometimes be seen in more extreme forms of feminism.
