OSP: PAUL GILROY - POSTCOLONIAL THEORY AND DIASPORIC IDENTITY

-
  Paul Gilroy - blog tasks 1) How does Gilroy suggest racial identities are constructed? - Racial identities are caused by historical conflicts that have brought different groups into opposition. After the Renaissance, lines  of race were established as a useful way to legitimise oppression 2) What does Gilroy suggest regarding the causes and history of racism? - Around the world structures of political and social life have been constructed under race thinking.

Media Magazine reading 1) Looking over the article as a whole, what are some of the positive developments due to the internet highlighted by Bill Thompson? - That’s possible because the internet lets  any two connected computers exchange  data in the form of binary messages – 1 and  0. 2) What are the negatives or dangers linked to the development of the internet? -T he network is becoming invisible, as  connectivity becomes seamless, pervasive and   fast enough to just work most of the time. We   stop seeing it – we only see the connectivity. 3) What does ‘open technology’ refer to? Do you agree with the idea of ‘open technology’? - The idea of ‘openness’ lies at the centre  of this debate: I believe that if we want an   open society based around principles of   equality of opportunity, social justice and free   expression, we need to build it on technologies   which are themselves ‘open’, and that this is  the only way to enc...
