- W1530849441 abstract "This issue of ETC marks another transition in organizational evolution of a discipline. Published from 1943-1948 by Society for General Semantics, then from 1949-2003 by International Society for General Semantics, ETC now falls under stewardship of Institute of General Semantics. Twenty-seven years ago, this journal experienced a different type of transition. late Neil Postman, remembered in previous issue of ETC, began his 10-year editorship of this journal with a clearly articulated point of view in first of his 'themed' issues, The Roots of Fanaticism. He diagnosed that, in 1977, there existed a state of which banishes reason and generates frenzy, [that] has accompanied mankind throughout our history and gives no sign that it is wearying of journey. He observed that this state of mind had produced the of a kind of that some of us have smelled before. Postman predicted that the study of will be a pre-eminent enterprise for remainder of this century. To whatever degree 'we' have, since 1977, engaged in the study of processes, it doesn't appear to me that we've succeeded in diluting what Postman sniffed odor of a kind of decadence. Indeed, I contend that this 'odor' lingers, wafts and seeps even more persistently and pervasively in 2004 than in 1977. Consider 'issues' that, on a given day, dominate our national interest evidenced by newspapers, media talk shows, and Internet. Many of these current (March 2004) 'issues' represent deeply-rooted conflicts that concern symbolic processes and intellectual decadence of rulers and/or ruled, who lack means to differentiate symbols symbols, rather than 'things,' 'values,' or 'truths.' * A piece of paper generated by a local government official that symbolizes a societal practice that, in English, we call has become a touchstone 'issue' for 2004 elections, undoubtedly to affect every level of elected office. * issuance of piece of paper that, in English, we call a marriage certificate has become object of a movement to generate another piece of paper that, in English, we refer to an amendment, that will change another piece of paper that we, in English, call the Constitution of United States of America. intent of this amendment is to define exactly what is, and by extension, what it most definitely is not. * cultural buzz focuses on recent release of Mel Gibson's movie, Passion of Christ. This film presents his (Gibson's) creative interpretation of Apostles' descriptions of their recollections of events leading to crucifixion of Jesus. Much of buzz deals not with film a film, but with Gibson's motivations, with what some perceive his anti-Semitic point of view, and with question of 'Truth' in his creative depiction--is it indeed as it was? (Except for special effects, of course--I assume no actors actually suffered or were subjected to inhumane treatment during filming. …" @default.
