Editor's Notes

  • #3 First two pieces of this talk are broad, meant to generate a cultural context in which the final three pieces can be discussed.
  • #4 Working hypothesis: Present-day mainstream American understanding of “failure” as a concept is more personal than institutional. This perpetuates a misunderstanding of the nation as meritocratic. Experiment: 2 keyword searches in the Books section of Amazon.com, “fail” and “failure” Why Amazon.com? Digital Wal-Mart: ubiquitous presence, panoply of items In favor among the upwardly mobile, largely employs the working poor Emphasis on economy—price of item always compared to (generally lower) than retail price, sense that you “got a bargain” In both searches, I compared the first twenty-five results Sorted those results by “relevance” (presence of keyword) and “popularity,” but there wasn’t a significant difference in what items showed up.
