Johnson 2020 Brandon M. Johnson Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts August 2020 The thesis of Brandon M. Johnson was reviewed and approved by the following: Mary E. Stuckey Professor, Communication Arts and Sciences Thesis Advisor Stephen H. Browne Liberal Arts Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences Michael J. Steudeman Assistant Professor of Rhetoric and Director of CAS100A Denise H. Solomon Head and Liberal Arts Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences iii ABSTRACT This thesis is an analysis of the public memory of Jimmy Carter and the way the historical resources of his presidency (including his perceived moral character) are interpreted and evoked as a shorthand for presidential failure by associating him with a rhetoric of weakness. Broadly, I consider the nature of presidential memory, asking how a presidency passes from history to memory. I suggest that presidential histories serve as inventional resources in the present, with rhetors evoking interpretations of the past as rhetorical appeals. These appeals are acts of memory, and analyzing how they function discursively and are deployed strategically draws out how presidential memory works and what implications it has to presidential rhetoric. The different strategies used in remembering the presidency of Jimmy Carter are useful texts for rhetorically critiquing this process because Carter is often deployed as a rhetorical shorthand, providing a representative example of interpreting presidential pasts. I begin by considering the evolving scholarship and historiography on Carter and conceptualizing how presidential pasts can be interpreted in the present through acts of remembering.

  • The Internet-Ilization of American Parties: the Implications of the Unity08 Effort
    The Internet-ilization of American Parties: The Implications of the Unity08 Effort Ron Rapoport and Kira Allman College of William and Mary Daniel Maliniak University of California, San Diego Lonna Rae Atkeson University of New Mexico Paper Presented at “2009 State of the Parties Conference,” Sponsored by Ray Bliss Institute, University of Akron. Abstract Unity08 was the first fully on-line political party, founded by Doug Bailey, Gerald Rafshoon, and Hamilton Jordan in 2005. Its nomination and platform were to be determined in an on-line convention of its members in June, 2008. It disappeared long before its proposed convention, but given its technological innovations, its membership, recruitment, and activists remain interesting in their own right. We compare Unity08 members to ANES respondents and to a subsample of CCAP respondents who were active in one of the major party primary campaigns, finding a variety of differences, but also similarities. We then examine the causes of differential activity in Unity08, and conclude with an analysis of the degree to which activity in a short-lived third party might still carryover to activity in the major parties in 2008. The 2008 election generated a significant amount of buzz, in part because of the prominent inclusion of technology on the political frontlines (Hoffman, 2007). The internet played a particularly notable role, becoming integrated into the presidential campaigns and allowing contenders from Barack Obama to Ron Paul to organize events, and mobilize their on-line supporters, and raise substantial amounts from small contributions given over the web (Terhune, 2008). This surge in internet activity was presaged by the prominence of MoveOn.org, political weblogs and the success of the Howard Dean campaign in 2004.

Hal Williams. In classes I took under Hal, I found his enthusiasm and passion for history infectious. When it came time to select the subject for my thesis, I was compelled that the topic had to be the United States Synthetic Fuels Corporation (SFC), where I had worked from 1980-82, and that Hal must be my advisor. That academic paper was completed in 1999 for the MA degree, but it was obvious to me at that time that I had barely scratched the surface of the subject. It seemed to me a superb dissertation topic, with much remaining to be discovered.
