Clones, Fakes and Posthumans: Cultures of Replication explores cloning and related phenomena that inform each other, like twins, fakes, replica, or homogeneities, through a cultural prism. What could it mean to think of a cloning mentality? Could it be that a "cloning culture" has made biotechnological cloning desirable in the first place, and vice versa that biotechnological cloning then enforces technologies of social and cultural cloning? What does it mean to say that a culture replicates? If biotechnological cloning has to do with choice and repetitive reproduction of selected characterist.

Investigates the use of racist slurs in everyday language, drawing on mid-1980s nondirective interviews with students or professionals, ages 20-45, from the US & the Netherlands (total N = 33). No differences were found in the locations (eg, street & classroom) of racist slander between the US & the Netherlands. Racist slurs are found to be common & function primarily as a form of discursive assault. The primary perpetrators of racist slurs were adolescent white & black males. Reactions to witnessing a racist slur against another party were often passive &, in the case of white respondents, worked to deracialize evidence of the slur. It is suggested that racist slurs go beyond mere words to activate an entire social architecture of racism & inequality. Although racist slurs are universally condemned in both societies, this condemnation remains at the levels of symbolic meaning. 60 References. D. M. Smith

This article addresses black neo-conservatism and the contradictory position of the black middle class in the matrix of domination systems. The empirical basis consists of an open-ended interview with an African-American business woman, an entrepreneur, about her personal success and her role in relation to the black community. The main focus of the article provides an analysis of the arguments she presents to explain problems of race, class, gender and social inequality in society. The resulting picture of beliefs and opinions about inequality and black progress appears to be more complex than a single label like conservatism can account for.
