Nikita Mikhalkov’S Cinematic Verdict On Contemporary Russia, Yuliya Ladygina

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

After the bombing of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on 11 September 2001, Putin’s administration reacted promptly to the new rhetoric in Washington and, in turn, re-branded Russia’s campaign in Chechnya as a clear-cut conflict of backward Islamic terrorists assaulting civilized Russia. As a result, the entire Chechen nation and its struggle for political independence has been systematically misrepresented and maligned in the Russian mass media, particularly in film and television. While an abundance of scholarship has examined what sorts of stories Western film and TV drama have been telling about war and terror, and what kinds of …

Wincest Is The Best, Or, Raep Is What Happens When You Say No: Subversive Humor And Serious Business In Capslock Supernatural, Britt Eira Long

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

[First paragraph]

In the fifth season of the television series Supernatural, demon-hunting brothers Sam and Dean Winchester (Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles) investigate a haunted hotel. The episode, "The Real Ghostbusters," "features a dour legend, a graveyard, a hidden map, and an unfortunate tourist who is scalped by the ghosts of murdered children. Standard fare for this cult series, except that the hotel Sam and Dean are investigating is also hosting a Supernatural fan convention, complete with discussion panels (including The Homoerotic Subtext of Supernatural), live-action role-playing (LARPing, Supernatural merchandise, and elaborate character costumes. The episode demonstrates the …

A Theory Of Brand Ww2, Jonathan M. Bullinger, Andrew J. Salvati

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

Myths about the Second World War, grounded within stores of knowledge, often act as narrative templates to be drawn upon by collective memory. These myths and memories are transformed and commodified in a reductive manner into a brand encompassing simplistic narratives, easily recognized visual signifiers (including logo, colors, and associated symbols), and emotional cues that connect with the audience. This posits a theory that what most individuals today interact with is not a fragment of memory related to World War Two but rather a reductive representation sold as BrandWW2.

The Muslim-American Neighbour As Terrorist: The Representation Of A Muslim Family In 24, Rolf Halse

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

Academic literature on movies and TV—serials produced in Hollywood documents that Muslim and Arab characters are often represented in a stereotypical and negative manner. The TV-serial 24 doesn’t seem to be an exception. 24 has been accused by Muslim interest groups in the US and by prominent people with Muslim backgrounds for stereotyping Muslims. This article sets out to investigate whether this accusation is well founded by analysing how a Muslim family, living in Los Angeles as a sleeping terror cell, is represented in the serial. A textual analysis uncovers a change in the Muslim stereotype in US TV— entertainment …

Death Of The Tonb Shuttle Hypothesis, Ray A. Larsen, Michael G. Gresock, Marina I. Savenkova, Anne A. Ollis, Kathleen Postle

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

A complex of ExbB, ExbD, andTonB couples cytoplasmic membrane (CM) proton motive force (pmf) to the active transport of large, scarce, or important nutrients across the outer membrane (OM). TonB interacts with OM transporters to enable ligand transport. Several mechanical models and a shuttle model explain how TonB might work. In the mechanical models, TonB remains attached to the CM during energy transduction, while in the shuttle model theTonB N terminus leaves the CM to deliver conformationally stored potential energy to OM transporters. Previous studies suggested thatTonB did not shuttle based on the activity of a GFP-TonB fusion that was …

It’S Not All Zeroes And Ones: Constructing Online Identity Assembly Theory, Adam W. Tyma, Lynette G. Leonard

Communication Faculty Proceedings & Presentations

The construction of online identity, though examined in other disciplines, has not yet been approached theoretically in the communication scholarship. Online identities cannot be understood as linear or static as some identity theory presents. Online identities need to be understood as continually changing representations, never fixed in one position, and perpetually in a state of assembly. Identity research within the communication literature has focused on specific characteristics of the medium (e.g., anonymity) and the effects of those characteristics on the outcomes of the communicative act rather than focusing on the communicative process of identity construction itself. In other words, past …

The Global Geek: Language Training For It Students’ Study Abroad In Austria And Germany, Gwyneth E. Cliver, Deepak Khazanchi

Information Systems and Quantitative Analysis Faculty Publications

The Modern Language Association’s (MLA) urgent appeal for the restructuring of the undergraduate language curriculum, “Foreign Languages and Higher Education: New Structures for a Changed World,” emphasizes a need for language departments to enrich their upper-division course offerings beyond the traditional literary studies model in order to attract and retain broader interest in language learning among students with diverse academic interests and needs. Citing the National Science Foundation’s 2003 Survey of College Graduates, it stresses that only 6.1% of undergraduates whose primary major is a foreign language later achieve doctorate degrees and concludes that departments should provide upper-division language courses …

Determinants Of Democratization: Explaining Regime Change In The World, 1972-2006 - Jan Teorell, Joseph Derdzinski

International Dialogue

Just as the Color Revolutions of the last decade did, the Arab Spring once again brings the concept of democratization to the forefront of public discourse. They remind us yet once again how few countries have made at least the initial transition from authoritarianism, and how many more there are to democratize. Yet, having said this, the pool of countries that have liberalized politically and socially has grown tremendously in the past 40 years, yielding a fertile universe of cases for study and analysis. Jan Teorell at Sweden’s Lund University, in his compact but rich Determinants of Democratization: Explaining Regime …

Reforming Education Legislation, Angela Elizabeth Parkison

Education Masters

For the purposes of my literature review, I chose to research current statutes pertaining to reforming education in the United States. Additional research and consideration on this topic is needed in the wake of severe budget cuts, in attempts to find solutions to prevent further decreases in funding which will likely exacerbate issues such as graduation rates, disparities in classification of minorities to increase funding through special education, and position cuts which increase classroom sizes. Throughout the research process, I analyzed the evolution and effectiveness of education legislation both historically and presently. In particular, I focused my research on the …

The Justiciability Of Climate Change: Acomparison Of Us And Canadian Approaches, Hugh Wilkins

The Civilization Approach To Education In The 21st Century, Andrew Targowski

Comparative Civilizations Review

This investigation presents the Civilization Development Curriculum that should impact almost every kind of higher education and particularly should be practiced in educating leaders of world societies. The justification for this plan comes from an historic perspective of education, the state of education at the dawn of the 21st century, and is a synthesis of learning for work and life, both individually and socially. The civilization approach to education is defined and an example of the civilization development curriculum is offered as well as an octopus strategy for its implementation.

Reconsidering Accountability For Environmental Inspectors: Trading 'Compliance By Computer' For Relationship Building, Michelle C. Pautz

Political Science Faculty Publications

Demands for government accountability extend into all the aspects of government service and the environmental realm is no different. Environmental inspectors — the front-line workers in environmental protection agencies — are among the many civil servants who face demands for accountability. Unfortunately, although accountability is desirable normatively speaking, in practice it is not so simple. Accountability for environmental inspectors frequently involves measures such as the number of inspections completed, the efficiency of data entry in agency databases, and the turnaround time on inspection reports. Such measures leave environmental inspectors, who ideally want — and practically need — to be in …
