The number of active pre-conditions is quite stunning, from elite isolation to concentrated wealth to inadequate socialisation and education, to concentrated land holdings to loss of authority to repression of new technologies especially in relation to energy, to the atrophy of the public sector and spread of corruption, to media dishonesty, to mass unemployment of young men and on and on and on".
The question now is "does technological advance lead to more repression and domination?" By "Technology", Marcuse means the mode of production or the totality of instruments, devices, etc.
Here, we set out to determine whether transcriptional repression by engineered ZFP technology represents a novel therapeutic gene-silencing paradigm for the treatment of gain-of-function mutations.
The Red Web is good at tracing how the spy agency's modern tools of digital repression build directly on technologies devised and perfected, often with extraordinary creative skill, during the long KGB era.
As darkness settles over some future super-favela, "the empire can deploy Orwellian technologies of repression" as "hornet-like helicopter gun-ships stalk enigmatic enemies in the narrow streets of the slum districts… Every morning the slums reply with suicide bombers and eloquent explosions".
In this review, we discuss recent advances in CRISPR-effector technologies that have been employed to control transcription through gene activation, gene repression, and epigenome engineering.
Stories like this are repeated among activists who have been detained, over whom an iron vigilance is maintained with the complicity of the Telecommunications Company (ETECSA), the technology arm of repression in Cuba.
"[T]he technologies of internet repression, monitoring and control continue to advance and spread as the tools that oppressive governments use to restrict internet access and to track citizen online activities grow more sophisticated.
From the Arab spring to the Occupy movement, a combination of the ongoing economic crisis, political repression and cheap and accessible networking technologies has helped to create a "surge in desire for individual freedom".
A recently developed Flippase-induced intersectional GAL80/GAL4 repression method incorporates several gene manipulation technologies in Drosophila to enable such fine-scale dissection in neural tissues.
