    BATTLESTAR GALACTICA AND PHILOSOPHY The Blackwell Philosophy and PopCulture Series Series editor William Irwin A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, and a healthy help- ing of popular culture clears the cobwebs from Kant. Philosophy has had a public relations problem for a few centuries now. This series aims to change that, showing that philosophy is relevant to your life—and not just for answering the big questions like “To be or not to be?” but for answering the little questions: “To watch or not to watch South Park?” Thinking deeply about TV, movies, and music doesn’t make you a “complete idiot.” In fact it might make you a philosopher, someone who believes the unexamined life is not worth living and the unexamined cartoon is not worth watching.

Mineral-poor states in Africa must rely on limited prosperity coming from an expansion of agricultural commodities. The problem is that despite tl.e prevalence of an agriculture economic base, most African leaders are committed to industrial.development. The foundations of this antipathy of Africa's educated leadership and masses toward agriculture can be traced back to the period of colonialism when imperial interest created fluctuating monoculture states, status problems, agricultural coercion without incentives emphasizing authoritarian rules and orders, and disastrous agricultural experimentation. Migration to urban center and influences by the European boarding school system alienated Africans physically as well as psychologically from agriculture. Independence, then, exposed a dilemma in Africa between a passion for education

  • Catastrophe, Collapse, and Decline in American Science Fiction
    SHATTERED STATES CATASTROPHE, COLLAPSE, AND DECLINE IN AMERICAN SCIENCE FICTION By Richard Charles Mulligan A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTORATE OF PHILOSOPHY American Studies Program 2012 ABSTRACT SHATTERED STATES CATASTROPHE, COLLAPSE, AND DECLINE IN AMERICAN SCIENCE FICTION By Richard Charles Mulligan This dissertation investigates how science fiction portrays the collapse of American society and its failure to recover in the wake of large-scale cataclysmic events in elation to the discourse of post-Cold War American hegemony. Although apocalyptic themes are as old as the genre itself, the analysis of post-apocalyptic SF has largely been tied to the Cold War and nuclear fears, or more recently to a shaken post-9/11 American psyche. However, this subgenre has a greater continuity that links those produced during the Cold War to recent stories; this analysis is critical of the cultural assumptions of a post-national future predicated on American-style democracy and liberal humanist values—both typical of mainstream SF. In the aftermath of cataclysm, the United States does not always recover and core values of American civic culture are among the casualties, something that counters the myth of American exceptionalism and “New World Order” representations of global hegemony. The argument for SF as a reflection of political and social discourse is not new. In the context of postcataclysm, SF is a minority discourse that remains subversive in its ability to talk about the unthinkable, whether that means the end of the world or just the post- American world.

I understand that this thesis will be made available from the OhioLink ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access. I also authorize the University or other individuals to make copies of this thesis as needed for scholarly research. Signature: /) - 9 ~ 0) uate Approvals: ./"" Y" :j)..e ( · U c<. Date ~ ~AM z!Jo-6' Anne York, C Date ~j)r Date Abstract This thesis examines how the war aims of Italy developed during the First World War as formulated within the Treaty of London, which helped give political birth to Fascism. Emphasis is put on the Treaty itself and the months of negotiations between Italy, France, Russia and Britain that allotted Italy various territorial spoils along the Eastern Adriatic Sea where thousands of Italians lived, giving rise to irredentist claims. The eventual refusal of the inter-Allied delegates to honor the Treaty at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 resulted in social discontent and a feeling of betrayal among numerous Italians. The thesis also examines the political transformation of Benito Mussolini from his Socialist origins to being the fascist Premier of Italy. Particular emphasis is placed on how Mussolini used the Treaty of London as a propaganda tool to obtain political power. Fascist foreign policy regarding the unfulfilled articles of the treaty is shown as a prime motivating tenet to rationalize Italian expansion.

BLUE SKY STEROIDS BY GEOFFREY RAPP* Performance-enhancing substance use has attracted considerable political and media attention. However, relatively little analysis of the reasonsfor regulatingsubstance use in professional sports exists. Most of the ostensible reasonsfor regulatingperformance-enhancing substance use are belied by leagues' inadequate commitment to the justifications in other contexts. Further, most of the methods of proposed regulation would be ineffective and unworkable. In place of the standard test-and-punish regime advocated by doping authorities, this Essay argues that performance-enhancingsubstance policy should be modeled after federal and state securities regulation. Instead of punishing use, regulatorsshould require disclosure of all substances used, and punish only omissions and fraud of a material nature. The goals of a regulation regime would be better achieved without unintended negative consequences through a market approach based on minimum disclosure requirements.
