Capricology Week 5: Fathers, Funerals, and the Ethics of Gaming

By Henry Jenkins

…ut it seems to me misguided. I wrote the introduction to Ethics and Game Design, an recent anthology of essays by game designers and scholars which explore how computer games encourage various forms of self-reflection. Here’s part of what I had to say: In Oliver!, through the song, “Reviewing the Situation,” we have a character digging deep into his own goals, values, and place in the world, and openly proclaiming that his experiences as a “villai…

Prophets of the Environmental Apocalypse

By Peter Laarman

…of planetary decline and death. A Proposal: Try Working Under the Rainbow Sign For everyone purveying apocalyptic scenarios—for the biblicists as well as for the distraught secularists—there might be some wisdom and some consolation in recalling the Rainbow Sign that God gave to Noah following the Great Flood (Genesis 8). In this never-revoked covenantal promise God says: “I will never again curse the ground because of humankind… As long as the e…

Orlando Tragedy and the Tangled History of Jihad and Homosexuality

By Ali Olomi

…goes hand-in-hand with violence against women. If gay individuals became a sign of moral and societal decay that needed to be purified, then women became a symbol of vulnerability that needed to be protected. The forced veiling of women is a testament to the endeavor of jihadist militant groups to supposedly preserve society. As scholar of gender, Minoo Moallem, notes in her work on fundamentalism in Iran, “The veil signified an Islamic femininity…

The Link Between Texas’ Law Requiring ‘In God We Trust’ Signs in Schools and the January 6 Insurrection

By Andrew L. Seidel

…LGBTQ+ rainbow lettering or in Arabic. There is, of course, a reason these signs have been rejected, and it’s not the one-sign limit some have claimed. This pushback in fact only highlights the direct connection between the January 6th insurrection and these In God We Trust laws (along with the legislators behind them). But first, here’s the most important thing about “In God We Trust”: We don’t. There is no “collective trust in God” because there…

Photo of the Week: “If I Wanted the Government in My Womb…”

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…ncidentally; missed it by a couple of miles—carried a sign at a rally. The sign had the F-bomb on it. “If I wanted the government in my womb, I’d fudge [only it wasn’t fudge] a senator.” It wasn’t actually her own sign. Someone else had brought it. But she posed for pictures with it, presumably because she is a senator and that’s sort of funny. I mean, you probably had to BE there, but I could imagine it being sort of funny in context, you know? H…

Taking the Economy Back From the Elites: Blessed Are the Organized

By Nathan Schneider

…ndependent and organized to hold him to anything. Do you think there was a sign of hope for grassroots organizing in the U.S. during the occupation of the Madison capitol building? I definitely took the events in Madison as a hopeful sign. One could see a lot of Thoreau’s sleepers waking up and beginning the process of getting their act together. But the real question is whether the organizational work that comes out of that event takes full advan…

By H.A. Hellyer

…ic that is being utilized, with an added twist—exhaustion. Even before the Egyptian president made his speech last night, people were hoping that this civil upheaval would end, one way or another, and they could return to a sense of normalcy and ordinariness. When Mubarak seemed to bow to pressure yesterday evening, many took the opportunity to argue that now was the time for people to return from the protests and plan for the future. After the pr…

6 Years Later, Arab Spring May Only Have Just Begun

By Haroon Moghul

…n act of protest that toppled the Tunisian regime, captivated and captured Egypt, and from there reached Libya and Bahrain, Yemen and even Syria. The world without was mesmerized, astonished, amazed and inspired. Everything we thought we know about Arabs and Muslims, Middle Easterners and North Africans, was upended. President Obama even gave a speech. He said some nice things, but that was about it. What he brought to this historical moment wasn’…
