International Terrorism:Role ,Responsibility And Operation Of Media Channles, Ratnesh Dwivedi Mr

Ratnesh Dwivedi

"Terrorism" is a term that cannot be given a stable defintion. Or rather, it can, but to do so forstalls any attempt to examine the major feature of its relation to television in the contemporary world. As the central public arena for organising ways of picturing and talking about social and political life, TV plays a pivotal role in the contest between competing defintions, accounts and explanations of terrorism. Which term is used in any particular context is inextricably tied to judgemements about the legitimacy of the action in question and of the political system against which it is directed. …

Runaway, Derek Nikitas Dec 2007

Runaway, Derek Nikitas

Derek Nikitas

Sixteen shades of noir, all interesting, some compelling.Three of Child’s contributors—Ken Bruen, Allison Brennan and Duane Swierczynski—are seasoned pros, but the collection’s gems come from the 13 members of the younger set. Derek Nikitas’s “Runaway,” for instance, is a superbly ambiguous chiller about an adolescent girl who may or may not be a real runaway, or for that matter real. In Toni McGee Causey’s artfully composed “A Failure to Communicate” introduces the indomitable and irresistible Bobbie Faye Sumrall, a steel magnolia whose steel will cause three lowlifes to rue the day they took her hostage. “Perfect Gentleman” by Brett Battles …

To See The Earth, Philip Metres Dec 2007

To See The Earth, Philip Metres

Philip Metres

To See the Earth navigates the increasingly turbulent waters of a globalized world—from Moscow to Chicago, from Philadelphia to Ramallah. Metres renders in vivid language what Fredric Jameson called “cognitive mapping” —a kind of “situational representation on the part of the individual subject to the vaster and properly unrepresentable totality.”To See the Earth travels to Russia, memorializes immigrant Arab American family life in a Brooklyn brownstone, witnesses to the violence visited upon people both at home and abroad, and carves out of such losses images of hope —the birthing not of a terrible beauty, but of the “dreaming disarmed body.”

Alive In Lisbon, Marianne Rogoff Dec 2007

Alive In Lisbon, Marianne Rogoff

Marianne Rogoff

"My hotel is as I pictured it, simple with all the comforts: nice bed, private bath (with bidet and tub), phone, desk, and best: terrace and wide-angle view of the red-tiled roofs of the vast city of Lisbon. The light of late afternoon is soft-focus and other- worldly. At night circus/calliope rhythms reach my windows from a courtyard below, where a large group of teenagers practice a line dance, march, grapevine, side step, swing your partner, singing along in Portuguese."
