	Sherry Turkle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sherry Turkle (born 1948) is a clinical psychologist and a professor of Science, Technology and Society at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
		As far as women and computers are concerned, Turkle points out women's "non-linear" approach to the technology, calling it "soft mastery" and "bricolage" (as opposed to the "hard mastery" of linear, abstract thinking and computer programming).
		Turkle has been referred to as "cybershrink" by parts of the media.

		Sherry Turkle probably understands better than anyone how people transfer their emotions onto the Net: sometimes they go through the Net to other people, but sometimes they just stop at the Net and start having an emotional involvement with the Net itself.
		Turkle was taken aback by this, because Dr. Sherry wasn't her or hers.

		Turkle is author of three seminal books Psychoanalytic Politics, The Second Self, and her most recent, Life on the Screen each a measured, meticulous, and ultimately mind-reordering exploration of the ways people think about themselves and their worlds in these postmodern times.
		Turkle's study of Lacan and his followers was preparing her for a future she couldn't anticipate: a future represented by computing.
		In her research and in her book, Turkle proposed what struck many as a sensitive and long-overdue description of two different styles of mastery: "hard" and "soft." "Hard mastery is the imposition of will over the machine through the implementation of a plan," she writes.

	Sherry Turkle at The Masters Forum
		Now Sherry Turkle, MIT professor of sociology and psychology, is saying that many young people in industrial societies are using the outback most available to them — the virtual realms of cyberspace — in order to spur their own development.
		What Turkle has learned in her research (all conducted in RL, to minimize doubts about the reliability of her narratives) is that the people playing these games, numbering in the hundred of thousands, are pioneering a postmodern pattern in the ways we deal with reality.
		Turkle spoke of the complexity of a male user pretending to be a female pretending to be a male.

	turkle
		Turkle, who is a licensed clinical psychologist, lived among the Net natives in order to learn their ways.
		Turkle spoke with senior editor Herb Brody not only about the potential of the Net to enhance human experience but about elements of the online phenomenon that disturb her - in particular the fear that young people will succumb to the temptation to leave "real life" behind for the ever-so-much more controllable realm of cyberspace.
		TURKLE: Yes, cyberspace takes the fluidity of identity that is called for in everyday life and raises it to a higher power: people come to see themselves as the sum of their distributed presence on all the windows they open on the screen.

	Commentary: Turkle on Simulated Life
		Turkle raises the possibility that as we engage with the computer and other electronic media we have become a collocation of multiple identities, or at least (a less novel proposal) that we play a variety of roles (p.
		Turkle's discussion falls well short of the latest postmodern movement to consider identity itself as outmoded, since it has been the basis of oppression; perhaps we are now in a post-identity world, as it has been called.
		While Turkle seems unable to decide where she stands on this issue, her discussion of the addictive qualities of MUDS implies that her beliefs are closer to Erikson.

		Sherry Turkle, a sociology professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is a licensed clinical psychologist and a noted expert on gender and identity.
		Turkle: Girls and boys will come to technology from different paths; however, the idea is to create a curriculum that is flexible enough so that different people (not just in terms of gender) will make the technology their own in their own way.

	Sherry Turkle
		Sherry Turkle, who is not a Marxist, is concerned both to clarify postmodern ideas and to make explicit the differences between postmodernism and Marxism.
		While explaining these ideas in detail, Sherry Turkle also provides a fascinating insight into the developments of artificial intelligence and the shifting ground of the debate around the ability of computers to have intellectual ability or display emotions.
		Sherry Turkle provides an interesting example of a college student using the name "Barry" who spent days in a multi-user domain trying to seduce a piece of software called "Julia".

	Chapter 9 of Life on the Screen by S.Turkle, J'Anthony, Cynthia, Cyber Psychology 409b G10, Fall 98, University of ...
		In chapter 9, Sherry Turkle focuses on issues surrounding the concept of community on the Internet and the effects it has on the individuals involved as they relate to their virtual on-line world verses their real life world.
		Turkle sees us creating 'dreams within dreams.' She states that each step we move away from the original community, we experience the last simulation as more real than it really is.
		Turkle expresses that, "if the politics of virtuality means democracy online and apathy off-line, there is reason for concern." This concern is whether people use their lives on-line as an escape from their real world problems.

	Books by Sherry Turkle
		Sherry Turkle has received accolades for this book where she brings postmodernism 'down to Earth' by identifying the modern computer interface (Macintosh, Windows) with the culture of simulation, rather than transparency, logic, and depth.
		It is the latter that she acknowledges postmodern thinking has learned to avoid by hovering on the surface, enjoying the opaqueness of life instead of reducing it to linear bits and pieces for the sake of a mechanistic (classical modernistic) understanding.
		Turkle likes to restrict the influence of computers on human culture to this level, and there is some truth to doing so, for it is this level where people interact with computers, i.e., use them to send e-mails, print photos, write school reports, or do their taxes.

	Cyberspace and post-modernism, Issue 33
		Turkle deals with the increasing importance of simulations both in computer games and for applications such as warfare and economic planning, and compares the popular game Sim City 2000 with the planning software used in Washington.
		Turkle uses the changing emphasis in computer science as a metaphor for the difference between Marxism and post-modernism, mentioning one philosophy student who believed that society could not "be understood in terms of any systematic theory.
		Turkle gives the example of a college student using the name 'Barry' who spent days in a Multi User Domain trying to seduce a piece of software called 'Julia', before concluding that "It is not clear whether Julia passed a Turing test or Barry failed one".

	SS > NF reviews > Sherry Turkle
		Turkle tells a story of the way she preferred to write essays: lots of ideas on little bits of paper scattered about, rearranged, gradually brought into a structure.
		So to satisfy her teachers, who were of the 'outline this week, essay next week' school, she would write the entire essay in the first week, then abstract an outline from it.
		So maybe Turkle and her interviewees suffered teachers who had fallen for the idea that the 'post hoc rationalisation' was in fact the development process.

		Turkle, who recently wrote a novel titled Life on the Screen: Identity in the Age of the Internet, focuses attention on the nuances of role playing and conducting romantic interactions online.
		She discovered through her own experimentation that these acts can quickly become intimate experiences shared with another human being; one doesn't have to feel as if he or she is all alone at a computer console.
		Turkle's listening skills -- what she terms "a return of Freudian sensitivity to language that people use to express themselves" -- are her greatest tools in studying the complicated world of cyberculture.
