  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE United Nations Secretary-General appoints the Japanese singer MISIA as Honorary Ambassador for the 2010 United Nations Biodiversity Conference Montreal, 1 March 2010. United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has appointed the Japanese female singer and songwriter, MISIA, as the Honorary Ambassador for the forthcoming tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, which will be held from 18 to 29 October 2010 in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. In her honorary role, MISIA will help raise awareness of the continuing depletion of biological resources and inform the public on the sustainable use of biodiversity. “In this International Year of Biodiversity, we must counter the perception that people are disconnected from our natural environment. We must increase understanding of the implications of losing biodiversity,” said Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. Referring to Honorary Ambassador MISIA, the Secretary-General said she could “help highlight our common struggles for protecting life on Earth and the actions we can take to slow down biodiversity loss.” Throughout her successful career, MISIA has been an advocate of sustainable development. Through her performances, she has worked to raise public awareness on the United Nations Millennium Development Goals and, in 2008, she established a voluntary organization, Child AFRICA, to support education in Africa. This honorary appointment will help bring much needed attention to the importance of biodiversity and the urgent need for progress to meet the three objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). On learning of her appointment, MISIA said, “While travelling to different parts of the world, I have realized that our life and culture vary a lot and this diversity has been nurtured by the rich natural environments of different regions.

  • Body As Evidence
    Chapter 1 Pop Goes Democracy Mediating Race, Gender, and Nation on American Idol Parallels between presidential elections and the hit TV series are not hard to make. Indeed, they had become punch lines in comedyAmerican routines: Idol from Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert complaining that it took too long to determine the next American Idol (in a gag that had audiences assuming he was referring to the next U.S. president) to ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel quipping that, after watching the vice presidential debate during the U.S. presidential campaign in 2008, he “voted four times for Sarah Palin and six times for David Archuleta,” in reference to the popular Republican vice presidential candidate and frontrunner contestant that year. Interestingly, movie critic RogerAmerican Ebert Idol’s mounted criticism against Palin for being “the American Idol candidate,” in which he argued the following: I think I might be able to explain some of Sarah Palin’s appeal. She’s the “American Idol” candidate. Consider. What defines an “American Idol” finalist? They’re good‑looking, work well on television, have a sunny personality, are fierce competitors, and so talented, why, they’re darned near the real thing. There’s a reason “American Idol” gets such high ratings. People identify with the contestants. They think, Hey, that could be me up there on that show! . My problem is, I don’t want to be up there. I don’t want a vice president who is darned near good enough. I want a vice president who is better, wiser, well‑traveled, has met world leaders, who three months ago had an opinion on Iraq.
