First Blood RecIrawn Don Kunz Nearly everyone speaking or writing about America's Vietnam soldier eventually feels compelled to mention Rambo. As David Morrell notes with pride, the name of the character he created in his novel. First Blood, has entered our nation's household vocabulary1. It resembles in this case the title of Joseph Heller's World War 2 novel. Catch 22. and the macho movie-star name of Marion Robert Morrison — John Wayne. There is more at stake in the popular adoption of those terms than a simple enlargement of the dictionary. The evolution of Rambo from character to icon illustrates the fictionalizing process by which history is accommodated to myth. Rambo is an ambiguous and contradictory epithet, its meaning shifting as a result of an elaborate revision process still underway. Morrell's protagonist has been appropriated variously as a symbol of American patriotism, mindless savagery, the frontier hero, and Frankenstein's monster.

  • Intimate Perspectives from the Battlefields of Iraq
    'The Best Covered War in History': Intimate Perspectives from the Battlefields of Iraq by Andrew J. McLaughlin A thesis presented to the University Of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2017 © Andrew J. McLaughlin 2017 Examining Committee Membership The following served on the Examining Committee for this thesis. The decision of the Examining Committee is by majority vote. External Examiner Marco Rimanelli Professor, St. Leo University Supervisor(s) Andrew Hunt Professor, University of Waterloo Internal Member Jasmin Habib Associate Professor, University of Waterloo Internal Member Roger Sarty Professor, Wilfrid Laurier University Internal-external Member Brian Orend Professor, University of Waterloo ii Author's Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii Abstract This study examines combat operations from the 2003 invasion of Iraq War from the “ground up.” It utilizes unique first-person accounts that offer insights into the realities of modern warfare which include effects on soldiers, the local population, and journalists who were tasked with reporting on the action. It affirms the value of media embedding to the historian, as hundreds of journalists witnessed major combat operations firsthand. This line of argument stands in stark contrast to other academic assessments of the embedding program, which have criticized it by claiming media bias and military censorship. Here, an examination of the cultural and social dynamics of an army at war provides agency to soldiers, combat reporters, and innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.

    Media History Monographs 15:1 (2012-2013) ISSN 1940-8862 When Objectivity Works: David Halberstam’s Vietnam Reporting Ronald Seyb Skidmore College Most Americans accept that Vietnam was America’s first “living room war” as readily as they accept that it was America’s first military defeat. Even many scholars have privileged television’s coverage of the war in their analyses of the press’s role in shaping public perceptions of the conflict. This article seeks to correct this imbalance by assessing David Halberstam’s Vietnam reporting. It argues that while Halberstam’s field reporting in Vietnam is rightly praised for giving readers an up close view of the conflict, it was the reporting that he did away from the field on the Buddhist Crisis that displayed most clearly the virtues of journalistic objectivity as a professional norm that allows reporters to, in the words of Donald McDonald, “discover and communicate the coherence of a complex, unfolding reality.” ©2012 Ronald Seyb Media History Monographs 15:1 Seyb When Objectivity Works: David Halberstam’s Vietnam Reporting Americans’ collective memory of the Viet- perception of the war in ways that would have nam War consists principally of a pastiche of long-term consequences for their profession: televised images: A Marine igniting with a Zippo In this brief but crucial period they would . lighter the thatch roof of a Vietnamese villager’s . establish the standards for a new gen- home, a Buddhist monk immolating himself in eration of war correspondents—and tele- downtown Saigon, a South Vietnamese General vision as well.

  • Lycra, Legs, and Legitimacy: Performances of Feminine Power in Twentieth Century American Popular Culture
    LYCRA, LEGS, AND LEGITIMACY: PERFORMANCES OF FEMININE POWER IN TWENTIETH CENTURY AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE Quincy Thomas A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2018 Committee: Jonathan Chambers, Advisor Francisco Cabanillas, Graduate Faculty Representative Bradford Clark Lesa Lockford © 2018 Quincy Thomas All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jonathan Chambers, Advisor As a child, when I consumed fictional narratives that centered on strong female characters, all I noticed was the enviable power that they exhibited. From my point of view, every performance by a powerful character like Wonder Woman, Daisy Duke, or Princess Leia, served to highlight her drive, ability, and intellect in a wholly uncomplicated way. What I did not notice then was the often-problematic performances of female power that accompanied those narratives. As a performance studies and theatre scholar, with a decades’ old love of all things popular culture, I began to ponder the troubling question: Why are there so many popular narratives focused on female characters who are, on a surface level, portrayed as bastions of strength, that fall woefully short of being true representations of empowerment when subjected to close analysis? In an endeavor to answer this question, in this dissertation I examine what I contend are some of the paradoxical performances of female heroism, womanhood, and feminine aggression from the 1960s to the 1990s. To facilitate this investigation, I engage in close readings of several key aesthetic and cultural texts from these decades. While the Wonder Woman comic book universe serves as the centerpiece of this study, I also consider troublesome performances and representations of female power in the television shows Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the film Grease, the stage musical Les Misérables, and the video game Tomb Raider.

STAGNER has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Chester J. Pach, Jr. Associate Professor of History Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 4 ABSTRACT STAGNER, ANNESSA C., M.A., June 2008, History From Behind Enemy Lines: Harrison Salisbury, the Vietnamese Enemy, and Wartime Reporting During the Vietnam War (165 pp.) Director of Thesis: Chester J. Pach, Jr. On December 24, 1966, Harrison Salisbury became the first mainstream American journalist to report from North Vietnam during the Vietnam War. From his position behind enemy lines, the New York Times reporter revealed that America’s bombing campaign was causing many more civilian casualties than the Johnson administration had acknowledged. Additionally, he challenged how Americans perceived their enemy by portraying North Vietnam’s culture and political ideology as legitimate. Evaluation of governmental and public responses to his stories reveals the significance of these reports. They sparked controversy that undermined American and international confidence in the Johnson administration’s credibility, decreased support for U.S. policies towards North Vietnam, and put increased pressure on the Johnson administration to increase efforts towards peace.

  • Fall 2010 Journalism 349 T/395: Reporting the World
    Fall 2010 Journalism 349 T/395: Reporting the World: A Critical Examination of the U.S. News Media Classes: T/Th 12:30 - 2 Instructor: Tracy Dahlby Telephone: 512-471-6272 Email: [email protected] Teaching Assistant: Monica Chadha Objectives This course is designed to provide students with a dynamic way of looking at, thinking about, and reporting the world, both abroad and at home. It will help you establish a framework for analyzing and understanding the events and processes that shape our lives in a global society. Our guiding considerations: How does the news we consume form our views of the world and influence our reporting? To what extent do such views jibe with or differ from what really occurs? As journalistic observers, how can we develop tools for obtaining a clearer picture of important events and trends? In attempting to answer such questions, we will focus on how to: . Think critically about what purpose the news media serve – and how we can use various news- and non-news media to see the world more clearly. Determine the extent to which the news media succeed or fail in conveying the reality of events on the ground and why. Drill down to fundamental layers of understanding about events, their political, economic, cultural and psychological complexities, and develop deep context on issues affecting our communities and us. Develop and hone our research, reporting and writing techniques. Distinguish the dos and don’ts of professional journalism, and consider the ethical compass points of fairness, accuracy and truth seeking as they relate to explaining the world around us.
