Off the top of my head I'm not thinking of anything specific but it is related to the intentional fallacy and thinking along the lines of The Death of the Author as well as more anthro/socio stuff by people like Erving Goffman. I'm thinking of his Presentation of Self in Everyday Life where he talks about things in terms of acting and live theater.
- jancsika 9y agoThanks, jccalhoun. I'm really looking for a citation of something much more fundamental. If I wanted to assess the security of Firefox, it would be inane to try to do so by assessing each bug individually. Instead, I could ask on HN, "What books should I read to begin learning how to assess the security of Firefox?" And even though I'd probably get a lot of responses trying to clarify what I mean by "security", I'd certainly get some solid reference materials that outline current approaches to assessing security that are based on the best research available. Now suppose I want to assess sexism in the sciences in academia. It would be inane to try to do so by assessing each alleged case of sexism individually. What books should I read to assess sexism in academia? I'd like to hear about reference books (or articles) that outline current approaches to assessing sexism in academia that are based on the best research available.
