War, Politics and Humanitarian Relief in Iraq, 1990-2004 by Adrian Lee Humanity Must Be Defended: War, Politics and Humanitarian Relief in Iraq, 1990-2004 by Adrian Lee McIntyre A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Mariane Ferme, Chair Professor Stefania Pandolfo Professor Eugene Irschick Spring 2010 Humanity Must Be Defended: War, Politics, and Humanitarian Relief in Iraq, 1990-2004 © 2010 by Adrian Lee McIntyre 1 Abstract Humanity Must Be Defended: War, Politics, and Humanitarian Relief in Iraq, 1990-2004 by Adrian Lee McIntyre Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology University of California, Berkeley Professor Mariane Ferme, Chair Iraq was the first political and humanitarian crisis to be described as a “complex emergency.” Contested claims about human suffering there—beginning shortly after Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990 and continuing for over a decade under UN sanctions—became the justification for multiple forms of engagement and intervention by religious and secular NGOs, human rights organizations, journalists, political activists and foreign military forces. This dissertation explores how the international relief system’s “humanitarian apparatus,” together with powerful Western governments and media outlets, framed Iraq as a humanitarian problem. It provides an ethnographic description of this humanitarian apparatus (a specific, territorialized ensemble of actors, techniques, technologies and practices), focusing on international NGOs and UN agencies in Iraq from late 1990 until mid-2004. The dissertation takes up a particular problematization (Foucault)—namely, how human suffering in Iraq appeared as a problem to which “humanitarianism” was a self- evident solution—and situates this problematization temporally and institutionally, exploring the historical and contemporary articulations between national governments, multilateral organizations, humanitarian NGOs and the media. The dissertation foregrounds the challenge of practicing “embedded anthropology” in complex, problematic and rapidly changing situations. The narrative style alternates between vivid, first-person descriptions of the author’s experiences in Iraq, dialogic conversational exchanges with various interlocutors in the humanitarian apparatus, and analytical sections that assemble the conceptual tools and equipment for an anthropology of contemporary problems. The international system of state and non- state actors, together with the norms, rationalities, rhetorical figures and forms of practice that these actors both generate and reproduce, is presented as an organizing framework for humanitarian action in Iraq as well as a site for critical anthropological inquiry. i Dedication for Gillian, Sergio, Margaret, Rafe, and Marla, who gave their lives in service of others ii Acknowledgements The main interest in life and work is to become someone else that you were not in the beginning. If you knew when you began a book what you would say at the end, do you think that you would have the courage to write it? What is true for writing and for a love relationship is true also for life. The game is worthwhile insofar as we don't know what will be the end. – Michel Foucault (quoted in Martin et al 1988) Numerous people aided me personally and professionally during the seven years that gave rise to this dissertation, without bearing formal responsibility for any errors of fact or interpretation in the final product. Having said that, it seems patently ridiculous to absolve everyone in such a sweeping and generic manner. We were all there; we were all engaged personally, professionally, ethically and politically. Thus we are all responsible in some shape or form for what happened (and didn’t happen) in Iraq—as well as for the multitude of conflicting opinions and contradictory viewpoints that we collectively shaped, informed, adopted or resisted around this momentous and deeply problematic conflict. To pretend otherwise would be disingenuous. The present work, then, is a contribution to these ongoing reflections and debates. It certainly does not stand outside them. My deepest debts are to my family, who have supported my various and nefarious detours through life: Laura Lee McIntyre, Shirley and Don Gregg, Lee and Carol McIntyre, John and Jeannie Denson, Jeremy Denson and Natalie Torres, Gerald and Joanna Dettling, Cory and Deborah McIntyre, Fred and Faye McIntyre, Judy Collins, and the Ziebart clan: Larry, Tim, Lisa, George and Gracie.

The scientific case has been closed for thousands of years that the Earth is round, from the ancient Greeks observing lunar eclipses, to Magellan’s crew sailing around the world, to modern astronauts orbiting the Earth, Apollo’s iconic EarthRise image, and thousands of images of Earth from space that show the Earth is a sphere. Yet, there are indications that there has recently been a rise in interest in the Flat Earth movement in the U.S. (Burdick, 2018; Dyer, 2018; Economist, 2017; Pappas, 2017).1 There are also some recent reports from NASA Science Activation (SciAct) education projects of confrontations with science deniers and conspiracy theorists at NASA-related public events. There are numerous publications, from scholarly, peer-reviewed journals to popular magazines, that span disciplines including psychology, social sciences, science education, and science communications research2 that are related to science misconceptions and naïve understandings, pseudoscience beliefs, and anti-science extremists (science deniers and conspiracists).

    Translating and Representing Citizens’ Quotations of the Syrian Humanitarian Disaster in English-Language Newspapers: A Narrative Approach Fadi Jaber Under the supervision of Marc Charron, Ph.D. Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a doctoral degree in Translation Studies School of Translation and Interpretation Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Fadi Jaber, Ottawa, Canada, 2017 Abstract In March 2011, following the self-immolation of a Syrian man named Hasan Ali Akleh, several demonstrations were staged across Syria, leading to the arrest of many Syrians in the town of Deraa. These demonstrations escalated into an ongoing conflict in most cities and towns, known as the “Syrian Conflict” (aka “Syrian Crisis,” “Syrian Civil War,” or “Syrian Uprising”). The conflict has resulted in the worst humanitarian disaster since World War II and the Rwandan genocide. According to recent published reports by many international organizations (e.g. United Nations, Amnesty International, Europa), 11.5% of Syria’s population has been killed or injured since the conflict erupted in March 2011, more than 500,000 people have died, over 5 million refugees have fled Syria since 2011, and there has been massive destruction in Syrian cities and towns. This dissertation draws on narrative theory, narrative features, narrative framing, media responsibility, and the representation of the Other to provide a theoretical and conceptual foundation and fulfill the dissertation’s objectives. To do this, it has established a theoretical and conceptual model of analysis specific to the event in question to investigate how the quotations and narratives of Syrian citizens, delivered as texts presented in translation in English-language newspapers, narrate, frame, and represent the Syrian humanitarian disaster.

They are not merely uninformed—they are misinformed. They cite cherry-picked evidence, rely on fake experts, and believe conspiracy theories. How can we convince such people otherwise? How can we get them to change their minds and accept the facts when they don’t believe in facts? In this book, Lee McIntyre shows that anyone can fight back against science deniers, and argues that it’s important to do so.
