Letter Writing And Legal Consciousness During World War I, Elizabeth A. Hoffmann
Letter Writing And Legal Consciousness During World War I, Elizabeth A. Hoffmann
Department of Sociology Faculty Publications
This article explores how ordinary Americans thought about law during WWI by examining 119 letters to Congress regarding charges under the Espionage Act. These letters are a product of their time and shed new light on our understanding of the First Red Scare. This lens of legal consciousness explains how people remain within established modes of engagement, rather than either withdrawing or becoming violent, as is found in the extant literature. Despite opposing goals, the letter writers’ shared master frame enabled them to “speak to” the other side, rather than “past” those with opposing views. This article explains how individuals …

Access Control At Major/Minor Road Intersection Through Cav In Mixed Traffc, Ping Yi
Access Control At Major/Minor Road Intersection Through Cav In Mixed Traffc, Ping Yi
Center for Connected and Automated Transportation
Roadway intersections are among the major causes of traffic congestion besides lane reduction bottlenecks. When a major road intersects a minor road at an unsignalized intersection without the control of a traffic signal, the mainline vehicles are given priority over the minor road vehicles to go through the intersection, and the latter can only enter or cross the intersection when there is a sufficient gap between successive vehicles on the major road. Connected and automated vehicles (CAV) are packed with tracking and lane-keeping assistance and adaptive speed control to ensure that vehicles do not collide while reducing traffic congestion. This …

Towards A Posthumanist Sociomaterial Conceptualization Of Intercultural Rhetoric, Amir Kalan
Towards A Posthumanist Sociomaterial Conceptualization Of Intercultural Rhetoric, Amir Kalan
Journal of Rhetoric, Professional Communication, and Globalization
Intercultural rhetoric has a human-centered view of culture and considers humans’ ethnicities, beliefs, and social practices as crucial components of rhetorical traditions. Conceptualizing a posthumanist sociomaterial approach to intercultural rhetoric, this article suggests that writing across cultures can be viewed as rhetorical transition between two sociomaterial networks with non-human, as well as human, factors. It explains that posthuman intercultural rhetoric can turn into a field where researchers study political, economic, and administrative networks in which texts are funded, constructed, regulated, disseminated, sold, bought, and cited. This area of writing studies would be interested in how rhetoric is constructed and used …
