stereotype (stĕr`ĕətīp'), plate from which printing is done, made by casting metal in a mold, usually of paper pulp. The process was patented in 1725 by the Scottish inventor William Ged. Firmin Didot improved the process, named it, and extended its use. Cylinder presses, by which newspapers were traditionally printed, use curved stereotype plates that fit the cylinders. For other applications, stereotype has largely been replaced by electrotype. stereotype [′ster·ē·ə‚tīp] (graphic arts) A duplicate printing plate made from type and cuts; a paper matrix, or mat, is forced down over the type and cuts to form a mold, into which molten metal is poured, resulting in a new metal printing surface that exactly duplicates the original.

These experiences prompted me to spend some time in my own middle-school classroom trying to break the silence and foster critical discussion on the topic of racial stereotyping and social justice in a time of war. This is very bad stereotyping and my Episcopalian friends should be offended. I was happy to see mention of the bear culture in your April 27 issue [Left Hook], but I take offense at Richard Goldstein's stereotyping of it as a fetish. |
