Opinion Paper
Transformative artificially intelligent tools, such as ChatGPT, designed to generate sophisticated text indistinguishable from that produced by a human, are applicable across a wide range of contexts. The technology presents opportunities as well as, often ethical and legal, challenges, and has the potential for both positive and negative impacts for organisations, society, and individuals. Offering multi-disciplinary insight into some of these, …
Artificial intelligence and robots in individuals' lives
Purpose This paper reports the panel discussion on the topic of artificial intelligence (AI) and robots in our lives. This discussion was held at the Digitization of the Individual (DOTI) workshop at the International Conference on Information Systems in 2019. Three scholars (in alphabetical order: Ting-Peng Liang, Lionel Robert and Suprateek Sarker) who have done AI- and robot-related research (to varying degrees) were invited to participate in …
The Bright and Dark Sides of Technostress
Today’s healthcare workers, specifically nurses, are experiencing technostress associated with the use of healthcare information technology (HIT). Technostress is often characterized by IS researchers as negative, or as being on the “dark side” of technology. However, a broader reading of the stress literature suggests that technostress may be both positive and negative, and can therefore have a “bright side” in addition to a dark side. The objec…
A position embedded in identity
Gayatri Spivak asserts that subalternity is a position without identity and has no examples. This paper demonstrates that identities – imposed and subscribed to, contingent yet naturalized – have to be taken into account, particularly when we consider that such identities are inscribed into a war of positions. It argues that the notion of ‘subaltern’ in Gramsci, followed through in the idea of ‘subjugated knowledges’ in Foucault, read commonly as…
On Remaining Minor in Modernisms
This essay revisits the idea of the ‘minor’, as manifested in the origins of women’s studies, in the newer contexts of globalization, and presents a potential future for it within modernist studies. This idea has represented identity in genealogies of activism and in the history of scholarship on women’s literature. Now, it may be read as also representing a position and a strategy that interrupt hegemonic forces in the field. This interruption a…

Using the Master's Tools
The title of this book reformulates the title of an Audre Lorde essay, "The Master's Tools Can Never Dismantle the Master's House" in order to capture the hybrid strategies of resistance adopted by five authors representative of post-colonial diasporas. The observation that resistances are "products of specific historical circumstances and rhetorical exigencies" (2) is a good cautionary note against dichotomies of oppressor and resister. The auth…

Locating a Native Englishness in Virginia Woolf's The London Scene
In the last century, British modernist studies have dealt increasingly with issues of class and gender. Yet, untill today, hardly any have scrutinized how race and nation are integral and intersecting elements in the perspectives of such prominent literary modernists as T. S. Eliot, Gertrude Stein, or Virginia Woolf. This essay focuses on a set of six articles written by Woolf between 1931-1932 and titled The London Scene (1975a), in order to dem…
