  • U.S. Citizens Kidnapped by the Islamic State John W
    CRS Insights U.S. Citizens Kidnapped by the Islamic State John W. Rollins, Specialist in Terrorism and National Security ([email protected], 7-5529) Liana Rosen, Specialist in International Crime and Narcotics ([email protected], 7-6177) February 13, 2015 (IN10167) Overview On February 10, 2015, President Barack Obama acknowledged that U.S. citizen Kayla Mueller was killed while held in captivity by the terrorist group known as the Islamic State (IS). This was the fourth death of an American taken hostage by the Islamic State: Abdul-Rahman Kassig (previously Peter Kassig), James Foley, and Steven Sotloff were also killed. The death of Mueller and the graphic videos depicting the deaths of the other three Americans have generated debate about the U.S. government's role and capabilities for freeing hostages. In light of these deaths, some policymakers have called for a reevaluation of U.S. policy on international kidnapping responses. Questions include whether it is effective and properly coordinated and implemented, should be abandoned or modified to allow for exceptions and flexibility, or could benefit from enhancements to improve global adherence. Scope The killing of U.S. citizens by the Islamic State may be driven by a variety of underlying motives. Reports describe the group as inclined toward graphic and public forms of violence for purposes of intimidation and recruitment. It is unclear whether the Islamic State would have released its Americans hostages in exchange for ransom payments or other concessions. Foley's family, for example, disclosed that the Islamic State demanded a ransom of 100 million euros ($132 million).

  • Love and War: Troubadour Songs As Propaganda, Protest, and Politics in the Albigensian Crusade
    Love and War: Troubadour Songs as Propaganda, Protest, and Politics in the Albigensian Crusade By Leslee Wood B.A., University of Utah, 2003 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music. _________________________________________ Chair: Roberta Schwartz, PhD _________________________________________ Paul Laird, PhD _________________________________________ Bryan Kip Haaheim, DMA Date Defended: May 25, 2017 The thesis committee for Leslee Wood certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Love and War: Troubadour Songs as Propaganda, Protest, and Politics in the Albigensian Crusade ___________________________________________ Chair: Roberta Schwartz, PhD Date approved: May 25, 2017 ii Abstract: From the eleventh through the thirteenth century, the troubadours flourished in the Occitan courts of southern France. As the artistic and political voices of their culture, these men and women were educated, creative, and well-placed to envoice the cultural and political events of their time. In 1208, Pope Innocent III launched the Albigensian Crusade against the pervasive Cathar sect, which had attracted followers from every stratum of Occitan society, including believers from the most important ruling families. For twenty years, the crusade decimated the region and destroyed the socio-political apparatus which had long supported, and been given voice by, the troubadours and trobairises. By the end of the war in 1229, the Occitan nobility were largely disinherited and disempowered, unable to support the kind of courtly estates to which they had been accustomed and in which the art de trobar had flourished. Many troubadours were involved both politically and militarily in the crusade and their lyric reactions include astute political commentaries, vigorous calls-to-arms, invectives against the corruption of the Catholic clergy and the French invaders, and laments for the loss of both individuals and institutions.

  • Treatment of American Prisoners of War in Southeast Asia 1961-1973 by John N. Powers
    Treatment of American Prisoners of War In Southeast Asia 1961-1973 By John N. Powers The years 1961 to 1973 are commonly used when studying American POWs during the Vietnam War, even though history books generally refer to the years 1964 to 1973 in defining that war. Americans were captured as early as 1954 and as late as 1975. In these pages the years 1961 to 1973 will be used. Americans were held prisoner by the North Vietnamese in North Vietnam, the Viet Cong (and their political arm the National Liberation Front) in South Vietnam, and the Pathet Lao in Laos. This article will not discuss those Americans held in Cambodia and China. The Defense Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO) lists 687 American Prisoners of War who were returned alive by the Vietnamese from 1961 through 1976. Of this number, 72 were returned prior to the release of the bulk of the POWs in Operation Homecoming in 1973. Twelve of these early releases came from North Vietnam. DPMO figures list thirty-six successful escapes, thirty-four of them in South Vietnam and two in Laos. There were more than those thirty-six escapes, including some from prison camps in Hanoi itself. Some escapes ended in recapture within hours, some individuals were not recaptured for days, and some were simply never seen again. There were individuals who escaped multiple times, in both North and South Vietnam. However, only thirty- six American prisoners of war escaped and reached American forces. Of those thirty- six successful attempts, twenty-eight of them escaped within their first month of captivity.

  • The Case of Iranian Pows in Iraq-Iran
    Journal of Prison Education and Reentry Vol. 5 No. 2, 2018-2019. RESEARCH PAPER English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in Captivity: The case of Iranian prisoners of war in the Iraq-Iran war ABBAS EMAM Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, Iran Abstract: During the Persian Gulf War of Iraq-Iran (1980-1988), thousands of Iranians were taken captive by Iraqi troops. These prisoners of war (POWs) had to find ways to enrich and fill their time in prison camps. Learning English was one such activity. This study was carried out to appraise the motivations of the Iranian POWs for learning English, and to understand more about their textbooks, their classroom environment, the teaching methods and techniques employed, the skills emphasized, the teaching aids improvised, the types of exercises mobilized, as well as the test-taking techniques adopted. A relevant corpus of 21 memoirs and 7 interviews with Iranian ex-POWs were analyzed. The research draws upon Maslow’s (1970) “self-actualiza- tion” and Frankl’s (1984) “logotherapy” to shed light on the existential aspect of learning. Findings revealed that for these EFL learners learning English was an attempt to fulfill their potential and/or to make life more meaningful. Keywords: Iraq-Iran War, POWs, POW Camps, English, EFL in Captivity, self-actualization, logotherapy. Language learning and, in particular, foreign language learning or acquisition, does not take place in a vacuum. In fact, a foreign language can be learned or acquired in a wide variety of contexts: social, cultur- al, political, institutional, and so forth. Foreign language learners’ success or failure in mastering a foreign language depends on a number of variables: linguistic, cognitive, affective, as well as sociocultural, and each of these contextual factors contributes, it is argued, either positively or negatively to the process of foreign language learning (Brown, 2007a; Harmer, 2001; Horwitz, 2008; Nunan, 2003, among many others).

  • Storytelling As Accounting in Froissart's
    The Value of Verse: Storytelling as Accounting in Froissart’s Dit du florin ❦ Eliza Zingesser Et [Philozophie] dist, “Amis, se tu savoies Que c’est grant cose de loenge Et com prisie en est li enge, Plus chier l’aroies a avoir Qu’en tes coffres nul grant avoir.” And [Philosophy] said, “Friend, if you knew What a great thing praise is And how prized is its kind, You would want it more dearly Than any great sum in your coffers.” (vv. 395–99) Froissart, Le Joli Buisson de Jonece The Dit du florin was written in Avignon in 1389, shortly after Frois- sart’s visit to the castle of one of his patrons, Gaston Phébus, count of Foix and viscount of Béarn. In this 492-line dit, Froissart takes his last, misshapen coin as an interlocutor, conversing about the circum- stances in which he lost most of the money paid to him by the count in compensation for his poetic services. The coin advises him to offset his loss by seeking further monetary rewards from four other patrons: Bureau de la Rivière, the count of Sancerre, the dauphin of Auvergne and the viscount of Acy (vv. 428–43), each of whom receives praise specifically with respect to his financiallargesse . The text’s most recent I am grateful to MLN’s anonymous reader, Sarah Kay, Ève Morisi and Alan Stahl for their helpful comments. MLN 125 (2010): 861–872 © 2011 by The Johns Hopkins University Press 862 ELIZA ZINGESSER editors, Kristen M. Figg and R. Barton Palmer, describe it as a “begging poem, whose circulation among the men it praises would be intended to elicit an appropriately generous response” (15).

  • Gaston Fébus (1331-1391) Prince Soleil 30 Novembre 2011 – 5 Mars 2012
    Communiqué de Presse Gaston Fébus (1331-1391) Prince Soleil 30 novembre 2011 – 5 mars 2012 Musée de Cluny - musée national du Moyen Âge 6, place Paul Painlevé 75005 Paris Au temps de la guerre de Cent Ans, Gaston Fébus est réputé pour sa personnalité contrastée et son goût du luxe. Fin politique, poète, chasseur et écrivain, il est notamment l'auteur du Livre de la chasse, un manuel de référence pour la connaissance du monde animal. Cet homme complexe contribua à forger sa propre légende en Le Livre de la chasse, fol. 118 : " La chasse au lièvre dans les blés" Gaston Fébus (1331-1391) se nommant « Fébus », c’est à dire « Soleil ». © Bibliothèque Nationale de France - Détail L'exposition met en lumière cette flamboyante personnalité médiévale, à travers une sélection de 85 œuvres, dont la plus belle version enluminée du Livre de la chasse. Un personnage complexe et ambivalent Gaston Fébus doit d'abord sa réussite à l’image du prince respecté, chasseur et fin lettré qu’il a lui-même contribué à bâtir. Jean Froissart (1337-1404), célèbre chroniqueur invité à sa cour, a largement participé à sa légende en le célébrant dans le livre III de ses Chroniques. Fébus est un personnage complexe et ambivalent : munificent et autoritaire, cruel et retors en politique, il profite de sa position entre les deux royaumes engagés dans l’interminable Guerre de Cent Ans. Il lutte toute sa vie contre son principal rival, le Comte d’Armagnac, tout en entretenant des relations stratégiques avec les rois de France, d’Angleterre, de Castille, d’Aragon et de Navarre.

  • League of the Public Weal, 1465
    League of the Public Weal, 1465 It is not necessary to hope in order to undertake, nor to succeed in order to persevere. —Charles the Bold Dear Delegates, Welcome to WUMUNS 2018! My name is Josh Zucker, and I am excited to be your director for the League of the Public Weal. I am currently a junior studying Systems Engineering and Economics. I have always been interested in history (specifically ancient and medieval history) and politics, so Model UN has been a perfect fit for me. Throughout high school and college, I’ve developed a passion for exciting Model UN weekends, and I can’t wait to share one with you! Louis XI, known as the Universal Spider for his vast reach and ability to weave himself into all affairs, is one of my favorite historical figures. His continual conflicts with Charles the Bold of Burgundy and the rest of France’s nobles are some of the most interesting political struggles of the medieval world. Louis XI, through his tireless work, not only greatly transformed the monarchy but also greatly strengthened France as a kingdom and set it on its way to becoming the united nation we know today. This committee will transport you to France as it reinvents itself after the Hundred Years War. Louis XI, the current king of France, is doing everything in his power to reform and reinvigorate the French monarchy. Many view his reign as tyranny. You, the nobles of France, strive to keep the monarchy weak. For that purpose, you have formed the League of the Public Weal.
