All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Selling the Second Cold War: Antinuclear Cultural Activism and Reagan Era Foreign Policy by WILLIAM M. KNOBLAUCH has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by __________________________________ Chester J. Pach Associate Professor of History __________________________________ Howard Dewald Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT KNOBLAUCH, WILLIAM M., Ph.D., March 2012, History Selling the Second Cold War: Antinuclear Cultural Activism and Reagan Era Foreign Policy Director of Dissertation: Chester J. Pach This dissertation examines how 1980s antinuclear activists utilized popular culture to criticize the Reagan administration’s arms buildup. The 1970s and the era of détente marked a decade-long nadir for American antinuclear activism. Ronald Reagan’s rise to the presidency in 1981 helped to usher in the “Second Cold War,” a period of reignited Cold War animosities that rekindled atomic anxiety. As the arms race escalated, antinuclear activism surged. Alongside grassroots movements, such as the nuclear freeze campaign, a unique group of antinuclear activists—including publishers, authors, directors, musicians, scientists, and celebrities—challenged Reagan’s military buildup in American mass media and popular culture. These activists included Fate of the Earth author Jonathan Schell, Day After director Nicholas Meyer, and “nuclear winter” scientific-spokesperson Carl Sagan.

  • Cabinet of Culinary Curiosities:Books
    Six recipes for puff pastry from 1669 to 1970. Eating ice cream in France in the late 19th century. Dining with gladiatorial entertainment.These are just three of the offerings included in Cabinet of Culinary Curiosities: Books & Manuscripts from the Mortimer Rare Book Room. Other items feature: a tribute to Julia Child and her fellow Smith College classmate, cooking teacher, and writer, Charlotte Turgeon;Jack Sprat and the space race; cooking and dining for kings, queens, and mice; and French opinions about Chinese food and table manners.This array of more than fifty culinary curiosities from books and manuscripts fea- tures images and descriptions of food and eating from the 16th through the 21st centuries. My inspiration for creating Cabinet of Culinary Curiosities was Table for Ten:The Art, History and Science of Food,a series of exhibitions and events organized for the fall of 2010 by Museums10, a group of museum and historical sites in the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts.Although there are some cookbooks and housekeeping manuals here, I tried to find unusual, and often amusing, images and text within the culinary theme.Thus, I included a late-19th cen- tury etiquette manual which includes rules for proper decorum at the dinner table, the first Betty Crocker pic- ture cookbook, another cookbook with an aluminum cover, and an English diagram of plates of food laid out for a royal banquet in 1710. I also chose to show a 16th-cen- tury description of honey bees written in Latin, an account of an Amsterdam merchant cooking tulip bulbs as if they were onions, and a modern artist book with printing plates made from cooked spaghetti.

  • Archer Packet.Pdf
    This character wallpapered her guest bathroom with New Yorker covers. Later, the dead bodies of Elke Hubsch and Torvald Utne are dumped in that same bathroom. This character is seen paying for Malory at dinner in "The Honeymooners." This character is bumped from the Excelsior by Malory’s phony bomb threat. For 10 points, identify this character whose role on Archer really isn’t clear, the rival of Malory Archer. !ANSWER: Trudy Beekman While talking about this person, Pam says, "Way to bury the lede," to which Sterling responds, "Who are you, Horace Greeley?" Sterling says, "Phrasing, mother!" after Malory tells this character, "Don’t you want to freshen up after your long ride?" This character is first seen by Archer when he lifts up a blindfold, and later on in the same scene, he says, "super glad I didn’t wet my pants." This character apparently has hobo skin after being revived by Krieger. For 10 points, name this former KGB agent, the ex-fiance of Sterling and soulmate of Barry. !ANSWER: Katya Kasanova Sterling Archer apologizes to this character and derisively calls him Ira Flatow after making a poor analogy to vampires. This character constantly corrects various characters spelling of the Rush song YYZ to YY-Zed. Lana once calls an object belonging to this man as "rolling probable cause." For 10 points, name this scientist who frequently yells "smoke bomb" to escape from awkward circumstances. !ANSWER: Doctor Krieger This character is beaten up by Sterling Archer after rejecting a pink breast cancer ribbon and dismissing Archer’s cancer as "lady vagina cancer." In "Movie Star," this character is told by Rona Thorne to go buy a suit at Bergdorf’s and bill her manager.

  • Examining Ideology in NBC's Timeless
    Timeless or Timeliness? Examining Ideology in NBC’s Timeless A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In the Department of Communication of the College of Arts and Sciences by Sarah A. Willis Bachelor of Science, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo June 2012 Committee chair: Eric Jenkins, Ph.D. Committee members: Omotayo Banjo, Ph.D., Stephen Depoe, Ph.D. Abstract In this study, the researcher examines ideology of gender and race by performing a close textual analysis of NBC’s time-travel television drama, Timeless. This case study is guided by the general question, “To what extent does Timeless advance existing dominant ideologies through its representations of gender and race?” Overall, the study finds that Timeless somewhat advances existing dominant ideology by portraying gender and race according to negotiated frameworks. In other words, Timeless perpetuates dominant-hegemonic ideology in some ways and pushes back on this ideology in others. Additionally, Timeless does this by using both existing and new techniques. An example of one of these new techniques is a new concept called “caveatic postmodern nostalgia,” which refers to a type of postmodern nostalgia in which characters celebrate or are excited for the past, but include a critical caveat with the celebration. The celebration is then privileged over the critical caveat. The implications of these findings are discussed. ii iii Acknowledgments There are many people that contributed to the success of this project that I would like to thank here. First, thank you to my advisor, Dr.

  • Is Archer Being Poisoned by Bullets?
    Journal of Interdisciplinary Science Topics Is Archer Being Poisoned by Bullets? Alex Parry & Katherine Smith* *Honorary Author The Centre for Interdisciplinary Science, University of Leicester 31/03/2017 Abstract This paper aims to determine whether Sterling Archer from the TV show Archer would suffer significant physical and mental effects based on the number of times he has been shot, and consequently how much lead has accumulated in his circulatory system. Taking the number of times he has been shot to be 34, and presuming that none of the bullets have been removed (as implied in the show), it can be calculated that his blood-lead content is 279 . This far exceeds the adult poisoning threshold, and so it is likely that Archer has been affected by lead poisoning.−1 Introduction Archer has indeed exceeded the poisoning threshold, Sterling Archer is the main protagonist of the that the symptoms have already been presented. eponymous animated show Archer. He is described to be “the world’s deadliest spy” [1] for the BLL Increase Per Bullet International Secret Intelligence Service; a fictional The rate of lead poisoning from a bullet depends on agency located in the Pentagon, with terrible security a number of factors; the site of impact, type of bullet, and a dubious moral code [2].

Considering dangerous situations, often involving a large number this, the amount of lead secreted into the blood per of bullets.
