    23 ♦ Strange Answers Lawyer Plum was there and one pair of heirs when Otis Amber danced into the game room. “He-he-he, the Turtle’s lost its tail, I see.” Turtle slumped low in her chair. Flora Baumbach thought the short, sleek haircut was adorable, especially the way it swept forward over her little chin, but Turtle did not want to look adorable. She wanted to look mean. The dressmaker fumbled past the wad of money in her handbag. “Here, Alice, I thought you might like to see this.” Turtle glanced at the old snapshot. It’s Baba, all right, except younger. Same dumb smile. Suddenly she sat upright. “That’s my daughter, Rosalie,” Flora Baumbach said. “She must have been nine or ten when that picture was taken.” Rosalie was squat and square and squinty, her protruding tongue was too large for her mouth, her head lolled to one side. “I think I would have liked her, Baba,” Turtle said. “Rosalie looks like she was a very happy person. She must have been nice to have around.” Thump-thump, thump-thump. “Here come the victims,” Sydelle Pulaski announced. Angela greeted her sister with a wave of her crimson- streaked, healing hand. Turtle had convinced her not to confess: It would mean a criminal record, it would kill their mother, and no one would believe her anyhow. “I like your haircut.” “Thanks,” Turtle replied. Now Angela had to love her forever. Most of the heirs had to comment on Turtle’s hair. “You look like a real businesswoman,” Sandy said.

  • Indie TV: Innovation in Series Development Aymar Jean Christian Northwestern Univeristy I Spent Five Years Interviewing Creators
    Indie TV: Innovation in series development DRAFT Aymar Jean Christian Northwestern Univeristy I spent five years interviewing creators of American web series, or independent television online,1 speaking with 134 producers and executives making and releasing scripted series independent of traditional network investment. No two series or creators were ever alike. Some were sci-fi comedies created by Trekkers, others urban dramas by black women. Nevertheless nearly every creator differentiated their work and products from traditional television in some way. Strikingly, whenever I ask if any particular creator inspired them to develop their own show independently, I heard one response more than any other: Felicia Day. Indie TV creators revere Day for her innovation in production and distribution: she developed a hit franchise, The Guild, outside network development processes. The Guild, a sitcom about a diverse group of gamers who sit at computers all day to play an MMORPG in the style of World of Warcraft, ran for six seasons, from 2007 to 2013, and spawned a music video, DVDs, comic books, a companion book, as well as marshaled the passions of hundreds of thousands of fans. By the end of its run, The Guild had amassed over 330,000 subscribers on YouTube, though it could also be seen on other portals. In my work I have seen The Guild emerge as central to the online indie TV industry’s case for itself as antidote to what ails Hollywood. Day initially pitched to Christian, A.J. (forthcoming).

Bush’s Rhetoric in the Aftermath of 9/11 as Presidential Crisis Communication „Nasz ból i gniew”: retoryka George’a W. Busha po zamachach z 11 września 2001 r. jako prezydencka komunikacja kryzysowa Abstract This paper offers a review and analysis of speeches delivered by President George W. Bush in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001. Bush’s motivations, goals, and persuasive strategies are discussed in detail in the following study, with consideration for the cultural and political contexts of American oratory and the idiosyncratic features of the Republican as a public speaker. The characteristics of Bush's 9/11 communication acts are then compared with Franklin D. Roosevelt's Pearl Harbor speech in order to analyze the differences between the two politicians' rhetorical modi operandi as well as the changing political environment of the U.S. Artykuł obejmuje przegląd i analizę przemówień wygłoszonych przez Prezydenta George’a W. Busha w okresie po zamachach terrorystycznych z 11 września 2001 r. Motywy, cele i strategie perswazyjne Busha zostały w nim szczegółowo omówione, z uwzględnieniem kulturowych i politycznych kontekstów krasomówstwa amerykańskiego oraz wyróżniających cech republikanina jako mówcy publicznego. Charakterystyka aktów komunikacyjnych Busha z 9/11 została następnie porównana z przemówieniem Franklina D. Roosevelta w sprawie ataku na Pearl Harbor w celu przeanalizowania różnic pomiędzy retorycznymi modi operandi obydwu polityków, jak również zmian zachodzących w środowisku politycznym USA.

    Hans-Joachim Spanger Between Ground Zero and Square One How George W. Bush failed on Russia PRIF Reports No. 82 Translation: Katharine Hughes © Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF) 2008 Correspondence to: HSFK x Leimenrode 29 x 60322 Frankfurt am Main x Germany Telephone: +49 (0)69 95 91 04-0 x Fax: +49 (0)69 55 84 81 E-mail: [email protected] x Website: www.prif.org ISBN: 978-3-937829-68-5 Euro 10,– Summary Towards the end of George W. Bush’s administration, relations between Washington and Moscow are back to the point where they started, the Cold War. Public debate has clear ideas about where to attribute the blame: to Putinism with its emphasis on an authoritar- ian and interventionist state and the overweening self-confidence of the energy bully, on the one hand, and to Bushism with its militarized endeavours to mould a world in its own democratic image, on the other. However both these represent an inadequate simplifica- tion of the actual complexity, which does not sufficiently take into account the vacillations of the Bush administration, swinging between the realism of Bush’s father and the liberal internationalism of his predecessor turned neo-conservative, or the interaction between Washington and Moscow. This swing towards emphasizing democratic values may well make the increasing es- trangement appear more plausible. But in actual fact Bush’s policy towards Moscow, just as Clinton’s before him, consisted of a contradictory and changeable amalgam of values and interests. The most obvious constant feature in the Bush administration, in contrast to Clinton’s, is the malign neglect of Russia.

  • Good Evening. Welcome to You All. I Believe That Both Sociologists and Non- Sociologists Are in the Audience
    MICHAEL BURAWOY: Good evening. Welcome to you all. I believe that both sociologists and non- sociologists are in the audience. And this is--the theme of this conference, as you know, is public sociology, and therefore, I am glad to greet the non-sociologists, the public, from the streets of San Francisco. [ Applause ] Today is day three, thank you, day three of the ASA Conference for 2004. And the theme for today, if there has been a theme, is talking to publics. We had a great plenary earlier today, and tonight we have- -we await with great expectation an address from Arundhati Roy. Let me tell you about the rules. Since we are quite numerous here, questions. We will do what we did on day one, two, whatever it was, the other night. There are the Marxist T-shirted Berkeley undergraduates. [ Applause ] Who will be surveilling and patrolling the isles, one on each isle. We've lost a few, but we have in it for one on each isle and one at the back. Questions should be therefore written on pieces of paper and handed to the side. And best if they're not too long those questions. Raka will actually take them, and we'll sort through them, and we'll present them to Arundhati Roy, and there will be little conversation at the front like we did before. Then we make an announcement tomorrow, which is the last day of this conference. There are two events I want to alert you to. There is a closing plenary. We never had a closing plenary before, but we are determined to have a closing plenary this time.
