ChicaNerds in Chicana Young Adult Literature analyzes novels by the acclaimed Chicana YA writers Jo Ann Yolanda Hernández, Isabel Quintero, Ashley Hope Pérez, Erika Sánchez, Guadalupe García McCall, and Patricia Santana. Combining the term \"Chicana\" with \"nerd,\" Dr. Herrera coins the term \"ChicaNerd\" to argue how the young women protagonists in these novels voice astute observations of their identities as nonwhite teenagers, specifically through a lens of nerdiness-a reclamation of brown girl self-love for being a nerd. In analyzing these ChicaNerds, the volume examines the reclamation and powerful acceptance of one's nerdy Chicana self. While popular culture and mainstream media have shaped the well-known figure of the nerd as synonymous with white maleness, Chicana YA literature subverts the nerd stereotype through its negation of this identity as always white and male. These ChicaNerds unite their burgeoning sociopolitical consciousness as young nonwhite girls with their \"nerdy\" traits of bookishness, math and literary intelligence, poetic talents, and love of learning. Combining the sociopolitical consciousness of Chicanisma with one aligned to the well-known image of the \"nerd,\" ChicaNerds learn to navigate the many complicated layers of coming to an empowered declaration of themselves as smart Chicanas.
Geek Philosophie
2013
Qui sont les geeks? Quelle philosophie ont-ils du monde et quelle philosophie peut-on élaborer à leursujet? Voilà les questions auxquelles l'auteur apporte dans ce livre quelques éléments de réponse. Le geek c'est peut-être vous, amateur de nouvelles technologies et de mondes imaginaires. En tous les cas, c'est certainement l'auteur qui tente de penser en philosophe cette bien étrange créature moderne qu'est le geek, à partir de son expérience personnelle d'en être un lui-même.Au fond, le dilemme pourrait être le suivant: faut-il aujourd'hui choisir l'Être ou les geeks? Faut-ilpréférer, dans le sillage d'un philosophe comme Martin Heidegger, la philosophie de l'Être ou bien faut-il opter pour le monde des geeks, ces passionnés d'ordinateurs portables et de téléphones mobiles, de robots humains et d'humains bioniques, de fées électroniques et de magiciens dont la science nous donnera demain les pouvoirs? La question, brûlante, est aujourd'hui plus que jamais d'actualité, dans un monde dont les ressources s'épuisent, dont les prophètes du déclin nous prédisent la fin prochaine et dont les habitant devront peut-être opter pour le retour à la chaumière et au village de campagne plutôt que pour le voyage interplanétaire, la fusion nucléaire et l'exploration infinie des terres possibles.
