International Terrorism And Television Channels:Operation And Regulation Of Tv News Channel During Coverage Of Terrorism, Ratnesh Dwivedi Mr
International Terrorism And Television Channels:Operation And Regulation Of Tv News Channel During Coverage Of Terrorism, Ratnesh Dwivedi Mr
Ratnesh Dwivedi
The concept of globalization or internationalization of certain wars, which were result of terrorist activities worldwide , as well as the high attention of terrorism coverage broadcast worldwide might open up better opportunities to journalists – particularly to those who work in democratic countries like U.S.A and India – to improve their coverage. The context is the key: the context of the operation methodology, follow of guidelines of regulatory bodies,and of the journalistic culture and of the global environment. It is very important how media presents consequences of terrorist acts, how information is transmitted to public. Television and press have …

Negotiating Conflicting Rhetorics: Rancheras And Documentary In The Classroom, Dora Ramirez-Dhoore
Negotiating Conflicting Rhetorics: Rancheras And Documentary In The Classroom, Dora Ramirez-Dhoore
Dora Ramirez-Dhoore
As a young teenager, I remember sitting in the back seat of my parent's car, rolling my eyes at the noise coming from the radio speakers. On the airwaves being sent directly from Texas and Florida and behind the overbearing static sound, I could make out the TAN, TAN of the ending of the rancherai song my father was singing and enjoying. My mother would be next to him singing and whistling along, ignoring the static sound that was louder than the music and that would invariably give my teenage self a headache.ii My sister and I, two …
"A Lexicon Technicum For This Present Age": Scientific Satire In Defoe's Consolidator, Mark Jordan
"A Lexicon Technicum For This Present Age": Scientific Satire In Defoe's Consolidator, Mark Jordan
Mark A. Jordan
In his Consolidator, Defoe, like many seventeenth- and eighteenth-century writers, ridicules the natural sciences of the day. His attack on the sciences, however, is ironic. Contemporary religion and politics, and not science, are the principal objects of hi satire. Defoe's ostensible attack on the sciences is in fact directly related to, and a significant component of, his comments on the religious and political controversies of his day. This thesis seeks to illustrate how sections of The Consolidator parody the language of contemporary philosophical transactions, and how this parody contributes to Defoe's social satire. The Introduction to the thesis provides a …
Linked Characters In The Novels Of Saul Bellow, Peter Hyland
Linked Characters In The Novels Of Saul Bellow, Peter Hyland
Associate Professor Peter Hyland
Saul Bellows six novels all show the same pattern, an inward quest by the protagonist with a double, or alter-ego as teacher, guide or saviour. The device of alter-ego is used in different ways in each of the novels, sometimes centrally, sometimes marginally, but seems to be an essential part of Bellow's fiction.

Freedom Of Media In India: A Weapon To Kill Enemies Or Protection Guard For Public-The Two Sides, Ratnesh Dwivedi Mr
Ratnesh Dwivedi
"The press [is] the only tocsin of a nation. [When it] is completely silenced... all means of a general effort [are] taken away." --Thomas Jefferson "Right to Freedom of Speech and Expression" is a fundamental right of the citizens of India. This is mentioned in Part III of the Constitution of India - Article 19(1). This Article is so wide in scope that Freedom of the Press is included in Freedom of Speech and Expression. It includes the right of free propagation and free circulation without any previous restraint on publication. The freedom of speech and expression does not give …

Teaching Texts Materially: The Ends Of Nella Larsen’S Passing, John K. Young
Teaching Texts Materially: The Ends Of Nella Larsen’S Passing, John K. Young
John K. Young
The author suggests that attending to the publishing history of Larsen’s novel and the resulting indeterminacy of its ending(s) offers a concrete example of a materially oriented pedagogy that can illuminate the racial politics behind textual production and its relation to particular historical and cultural moments. He suggests that such a pedagogy offers both another way of understanding the textual contingency emphasized in contemporary theory and a way of further opening up questions of textuality and meaning for students.
Canonicity And Commercialization In Woolf's Uniform Edition, John K. Young
Canonicity And Commercialization In Woolf's Uniform Edition, John K. Young
John K. Young
This paper considers Virginia Woolf the publisher alongside Virginia Woolf the author. While the Hogarth Press has long been known for making Woolf "the only woman in England free to write what I like," it also made her free to be published as she liked. Hogarth, Jane Marcus argues, "gave Woolf a way of negotiating the terms of literary publicity, and a space somewhere between the private, the coterie, and the public sphere" (144-5). I will examine one such negotiation, the Uniform Edition of Woolf's works, a series designed to capitalize on her growing recognition and marketability. Once the Woolfs …

Book Ownership And Authorial Identity: Reconstructing The (Im)Personal Library Of Arthur Hugh Clough, Patrick G. Scott
Book Ownership And Authorial Identity: Reconstructing The (Im)Personal Library Of Arthur Hugh Clough, Patrick G. Scott
Patrick Scott
Describes the different evidence that survives for the personal libraries owned by two Victorian poets, Alfred Tennyson and Arthur Hugh Clough, and discusses the ways in which such book-ownership is (and is not) usable as evidence about the author's thought and writing. This paper was originally presented at the North American Victorian Studies Association Conference, Charlottesville, VA, October 1, 2005.
The Changing Reputation Of Clough's The Bothie, Patrick G. Scott
The Changing Reputation Of Clough's The Bothie, Patrick G. Scott
Patrick Scott
Discusses changing critical responses to what was once Clough's most highly-regarded longer poem, and argues that the values it represents are still central to understanding Clough's life and career. First presented at a symposium on Clough's work hosted by University College, London, at Dr. Williams's Library, London, on February 3, 2010, marking the unveiling by English Heritage on Clough's London residence of an official blue memorial plaque.

The Significance Of Ngugi's Recent Writing: Or Why Ngugi Wa Thiong'o May Not Want The Nobel Prize (And Why He Should Get It), Patrick G. Scott
Patrick Scott
Discusses the development from the 1960s to the 1980s of writings by the Kenyan author and activist Ngugi wa Thiong'o, examines some of the difficulty Us- and European-based critics have found with Nugi's work from the 1980s, and argues that courses in African literature need to move beyond the established canon of the immediate post-Independence period to reflect more recent developments. Works discussed include Ngugi's novels Devil on the Cross and Matigari. Originally presented at the Southeast Regional Symposium for African Studies, Athens, Georgia, 1994

Turning Wine Into Water: Water As Privileged Signifier In The Grapes Of Wrath, David N. Cassuto
Turning Wine Into Water: Water As Privileged Signifier In The Grapes Of Wrath, David N. Cassuto
David N Cassuto
I will argue that The Grapes of Wrath represents an indictment of the American myth of the garden and its accompanying myth of the frontier. The lever with which Steinbeck pries apart and ultimately dismantles these fictions is a critique of the agricultural practices that created the Dust Bowl and then metamorphosed into a new set of norms which continued to victimize both the land and its inhabitants. Both nineteenth-century homesteading (based on the Homestead Act of 1862) and agribusiness, its twentieth century descendant (born from the failure of the Homestead Act), relied on the (mis)use of water to accomplish …
Telling God’S Sanction : Storytelling In The Narrative Journalism, Memoirs, And Creative Nonfiction Of Rick Bragg, Jennifer Nicole Sias
Telling God’S Sanction : Storytelling In The Narrative Journalism, Memoirs, And Creative Nonfiction Of Rick Bragg, Jennifer Nicole Sias
Jennifer N Sias
Self-described paid-storyteller and Pulitzer-Prize-winning-narrative-journalist, Rick Bragg has used the storytelling techniques he learned from his people to write two best-selling memoirs that redefine the boundaries of the genres of memoir and creative nonfiction. His speakerly texts combine the voices of the working class of the Alabama foothills of Appalachia, his own voice as a member of this culture, and his narrative journalistic voice. In his works, Bragg has managed not only to carve a place for the voice of the working class, but also to celebrate and preserve the oral culture, history, and beautiful language of his people, the working …
Virginia Woolf's Publishing Archive, John K. Young
Virginia Woolf's Publishing Archive, John K. Young
John K. Young
Woolf the publisher remains that “drab figure in the gray overalls” for many Woolf scholars, despite an abundance of archival material documenting Woolf’s role as publisher. The most familiar Woolf archives are of course the manuscripts and drafts, many now in print, that have inescapably changed the way we read Woolf’s published texts.
The Diversions Of History: A Nonphenomenal Approach To Eighteenth-Century Linguistic Thought, Robert John Alexander
The Diversions Of History: A Nonphenomenal Approach To Eighteenth-Century Linguistic Thought, Robert John Alexander
Robert P Alexander
This thesis offers a critique of the methods and assumptions of the discipline of linguistic historiography--the study of the history of linguistic thought. Linguistic historiography has grown rapidly since the late 1960s. The formation of a loosely-defined canon of works of language study has been accompanied by the publication of many articles and books and the development of a scholarly superstructure of journals, societies, and conferences whose explicit objective it has been to develop both the practice and the theory of this new field. As I argue in this thesis, however, linguistic historiography remains an area which has yet to …
Explicating Poetry: Shakespeare's Sonnet 46, Adam Kotlarczyk
Explicating Poetry: Shakespeare's Sonnet 46, Adam Kotlarczyk
Adam Kotlarczyk
The term “explication” comes from a Latin participle of explico, which means to “unfold” or “disentangle.” The term is often applied to philosophy and to literature; in literature, it has become a procedure very important to New Criticism. In the process of explication, a reader forges a detailed analysis of the structural and figurative components within a work, focusing on ambiguities, multiple possibilities of interpretation, and interrelationships between various elements of the text. This lesson introduces students to explication through the reading of a complex poem, practice explicating it as a class, and reading a model explication about the poem. …
Angel Island Poetry: Reading And Writing Cultures, Adam Kotlarczyk
Angel Island Poetry: Reading And Writing Cultures, Adam Kotlarczyk
Adam Kotlarczyk
Object of a darker chapter in American history, the Angel Island Poems (as they have become known) are a recently discovered body of over 135 poems, written primarily in Chinese. These were literally carved into the walls at the Angel Island Immigration Station, where Chinese immigrants were detained, sometimes indefinitely, between approximately 1910-1940. This lesson demonstrates how history and culture can be integral to our understanding of poetry, even poetry that is deeply reflective and personal in nature; by requiring students to model and produce their own poetry, it also makes evident that writing poetry is a creative instinct and …
Religion And The Academy: Report On The Western Conference On British Studies Roundtable, Robert Ellison
Religion And The Academy: Report On The Western Conference On British Studies Roundtable, Robert Ellison
Robert Ellison
This article is a report of a roundtable I moderated at the 2006 meeting of the Western Conference on British Studies. It proposes some directions religious studies might take in the 21st century; it is also the first publication to mention of the British Pulpit Online, an emerging digital resource for the study of the sermon from 1688-1901.
“’National Apostasy,’ Tracts For The Times, And Plain Sermons: John Keble's Tractarian Prose.”, Robert Ellison
“’National Apostasy,’ Tracts For The Times, And Plain Sermons: John Keble's Tractarian Prose.”, Robert Ellison
Robert Ellison
John Keble is perhaps best known for The Christian Year and his work as Professor of Poetry at Oxford from 1831 to 1841. In this essay, I argue that his prose is worthy of study as well. I focus on "National Apostasy," the sermon that John Henry Newman saw as the inauguration of the Oxford Movement; the 8 pieces he contributed to the Tracts for the Times; and his many contributions to the Plain Sermons, by Contributors to the "Tracts for the Times."
The Tractarians' Political Rhetoric, Robert Ellison
The Tractarians' Political Rhetoric, Robert Ellison
Robert Ellison
This article examines the political speaking and writing of John Keble, John Henry Newman, and other leading figures of the Oxford Movement. It argues that while they were essentially conservative in the pulpit, where they spoke as official representatives of the Established Church, they were more critical and outspoken in other works, where they enjoyed more of the freedom afforded to private citizens.

Introduction To A New History Of The Sermon : The Nineteenth Century, Robert Ellison
Robert Ellison
This is the introduction to A New History of the Sermon:The Nineteenth Century, a collection of essays I edited for Brill Academic Publishers. It discusses the concept and history of "rhetorical criticism," and seeks to lay a foundation for the rhetorical study of the Anglo-American pulpit.
The Tractarians' Sermons And Other Speeches, Robert Ellison
The Tractarians' Sermons And Other Speeches, Robert Ellison
Robert Ellison
This is the first chapter of A New History of the Sermon: The Nineteenth Century, a collection of essays I edited for Brill Academic Publishers. It provides an overview of the Tractarians' homiletic theory, and examines the various genres of their oratory: sermons (both "plain" and "university"), lectures, and episcopal charges.
Prophecy And Anti-Popery In Victorian London: John Cumming Reconsidered, Robert Ellison, Carol Herringer
Prophecy And Anti-Popery In Victorian London: John Cumming Reconsidered, Robert Ellison, Carol Herringer
Robert Ellison
John Cumming (1807-1881) was the popular minister of the Crown Court Church of Scotland in London's Covent Garden. This article examines his views on the end times and the Roman Catholic Church, two of the favorite subjects of his preaching.
