WHAT SHOULDWE BE WORRIED ABOUTHow else can one threaten other than with death The interesting, the original thing would be to threaten someone with immortality. Jorge Luis Borges response to the thugs in the Argentine Junta combines guts and fear in equal measure. He did not so much fear torture in this world as much as a life continuously reexamined and reappraised throughout the ages. We should all heed his warning as we are all rapidly becoming immortal though electronic tattooing. As we all post more and more information on who we are, what we do, like, dislike, think, and say, a big data portrait emerges that gets ever harder to lose, modify, erase. In a big data world we dont just leave breadcrumbs behind, we voluntarily and involuntarily leave giant, detailed pointillist portraits of our everyday. It used to be only royalty, presidents, mega stars, and superstar athletes who had every aspect of their daily lives followed, analyzed, scrutinized, criticized, dissected.

It is not just the filming itself that is the game changer rather it is the almost negligible cost of archiving.

Every time we blog, charge, debit, Tweet, Facebook, Google, Amazon, You. Tube, Link. In, Meetup, Foursquare, Yelp, Wikipedia, we leave electronic nuggets, some more visible than others, of who we are, whom we are with, and what we like or are interested in. In a sense, we electronically tattoo ourselves, our preferences, our lives, in a far more comprehensive and nuanced way than any inked skin. Trivially easy to apply, seemingly innocuous, initially painless, these frequent electronic tattoos are long lasting and someday will portray you as an almost saint or a serious sinner or both. Electronic tattoos are trivially easy to copy, reproduce, spread, store. They will long outlive your body. So in a sense, they begin to fulfill Borges greatest fear, they begin to make one immortal. Tattoos are serious commitments. Every parent knows this. Often kids do not. Once inked, a tattoo is a lifelong commitment to a culture, cause, person, passion, hatred, or love. One cannot belong to certain tribes or gangs without a public billboard that promises till death do us part. Sometimes, once inked, there is no hiding and it is hard, if not impossible, to change sides. Whether on a beach, bed, classroom, job, or cell every pair of eyes judges and thinks it knows who you are, what you believe in, whom you play with. Tattoos publicly advertise fidelity, dedication, love, hate, and stupidity. That which, after a few tequilas in Vegas, may have seemed a symbol of never ending romance can become a source of bitter conversations during a future honeymoon. Now multiply that embarrassment, disclosure, past history a thousand fold using electronic tattoos Type high schoolers into Google and the first four search hints to appear are making out, grinding, in bikinis, and kissing. Eventually, do you really want to see the detailed video of future grandma without grampsImmortality and radical transparency have consequences. We are at immediate risk of having the world know what we do, what we did, as ever more available for scrutiny from our peers, rivals, bosses, lovers, family, admirers, as well as random strangers. Scene. Tap cameras let you know, at any given minute, how many people are in dozens of Boston bars, the male female ratio, and average age. This will soon seem quaint. Facial recognition technologies enable you, with a 9. Add name recognition and location to your phone and likely you can quickly access a series of details on whether that cute person over there has any criminal convictions, where she lives, what her property is worth, how big a mortgage, Yelp preferences, Google profile, Facebook status, Tweets, reunion notes, criminal recordsThese overall records of our lives will be visible, accessible, hard to erase for a long, long time. It is so painless, so easy, cheap and trivial to add yet another digital tat to our already very colorful and data filled electronic skin that we rarely think about what it might meant, teach, say about us in the long term. So we have already covered our bodies, our images, ourselves, in far more detail than even the most tattooed person on the planet. And even if you acted impeccably, according to todays norms and customs, electronic immortality still presents enormous challenges. Religions, ethics, customs, and likes change. What is currently deemed criminal, wrong, or simply distasteful may be quite different from what successor generations believe is just and correct. Knowing vaguely that great Greek philosophers sexually consorted with young boys is different from having direct access to lurid tapes during history class. Detailed visuals on how the Founding Fathers treated their slaves might seriously affect their credibility. Todays genetics has already uncovered and detailed Thomas Jeffersons peccadilloes. Were todays technologies and detailed histories available a few centuries ago, likely we would have far fewer recognized Saints. Likely some things we do as a matter of course today will seem barbaric, criminal, or merely rude to classrooms full of future high schoolers trolling through huge databases of lives. On the other hand, many daily acts may seem heroic and valiant sacrifices to perhaps ever more selfish and media aware generations. Project MUSE Dominance and the Triumph of the White Trickster Over the Black Picaro in Amiri Barakas Great Goodness of Life A Coon Show. In the opening scene of Amiri Barakas Great Goodness of Life A Coon Show 1. Court Royala middle aged Negro man, gray haired, slight 1. Come on from the Voice of the Judge, towards the center of the stage and into the center of the lights 1. Vocaloid 2 Hatsune Miku Software here. Court states his unease and puzzlement I dont quite understand 1. The all encompassing and pervading Voice responds, Shutup, nigger 1. Thus begins Courts trial. He is isolated in the center of the stage, berated by the Voice throughout the entire play. Court is, phenomenologically, a defender on an island under attack. He has nowhere to run and no ground to stand on other than his own. He is dominated because there is no respite from the attack and there is no escape route in sight, other than going right through a more powerful attacker. These paradigms of conquest, these modes of domination, are framed geographically, spatially, and physically. Barakas satire becomes ironic, even for a satire, for he portrays the triumph of a white trickster over a black picaro. In a dominant submissive relationship that mirrors the relationship of colonizer to colonized, the picaro is wiped right out of the African American. In such cases of domination, the only result can be a coon showsomething vile that denigrates oneself and the community, ending in a self negating, self defeating violence. The word dominate comes from the Latin dominari, meaning to bear rule, govern, lord it, and dominus, meaning lord, master OED. This verb does not just contain an idea of action, but it contains a locus of power. One is not just ruled, when one is dominated, but one also becomes a subject. In The Forms of Power, Thomas E. Wartenberg notes the different meanings of domination in German and English. Max Weber, Wartenberg says, defined domination by having ones commands obeyed 1. But the German word, Herrschaft, is defined as rule or command. However, in English, as Wartenberg defines it, domination refers to the relationship of a ruling group to a ruled group 1. Wartenberg goes on to complicate the notion of domination Domination refers not to a single exercise of power but to a relationship between two social agents that is constituted by the existence of a power differential between them 1. We have to think of Foucaults End Page 3. In domination, however, there is an element of harm for one party in this relationship Wartenberg 1. The exercising of power in this type of relationship must be to the detriment of the subordinate group or individual 1. Wartenberg is careful to point out that domination is a use and not a type of power 1. In this way, domination is when a party acts against another party. Moving past a definition, Wartenberg discusses the three modes of domination 1. Hegels theory of domination is a form of domination from below where one group can adversely affect another group. Nietzsches theory relies on a top down structure. His theory states that the dominant group has the ability to force the subordinate group to accept a negative self valuation, which, in turn, props up the value system of the dominant group. And Foucaults conception of domination works from neither the top nor the bottom. Domination in Foucaults model, as Wartenberg states, comes from all sides. For Peter Miller, in Domination and Power, domination is defined in a more specific way than for Wartenberg domination is a mode of acting upon individuals or groups of individuals directly counter to their aspirations or demands 2. Miller makes sure to differentiate domination from power. Miller argues that power operates by promoting subjectivity. Unlike dominations undertaking to deny and challenge, power attempts to invest the individual with a series of personal objectives and ambitions 2.
