  • When the President Talks to God: a Rhetorical Criticism of Anti-Bush Protest Music
    WHEN THE PRESIDENT TALKS TO GOD: A RHETORICAL CRITICISM OF ANTI-BUSH PROTEST MUSIC Megan O'Byrne A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2008 Committee: Michael L. Butterworth, Advisor Lara Martin Lengel Ellen W. Gorsevski ii ABSTRACT Michael L. Butterworth, Advisor Anti-war protest music has re-emerged onto the American songscape since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and the resulting military conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. This study works to explicate the ways in which protest music functions in the resultant culture of war. Protest music, as it reflects and creates culture, represents one possible site of productive change. Chapter 1 examines Ani DiFranco’s song “Self Evident” which was written as an immediate reaction to 9/11. Throughout this chapter I argue that protest music has the potential to work as a vehicle for consciousness raising. In Chapter 2 I consider the constitutive elements in the Bright Eyes song “When the President Talks to God.” Performed on The Tonight Show in May 2005, this song represents one of the first performances of dissent on national television after 9/11. This chapter also examines the limitations of Charland’s conception of the constituted public as it pertains to diverse and heterogeneous audiences. Ultimately, I argue that consciousness raising through music has the potential to bring listeners into the constituted subject position of those who dissent against war. iii Dedicated to the memory of Dr. Lewis (Lee) Snyder in whose shadow I will always walk.

    Downloaded by [New York University] at 04:00 12 August 2016 A CLINICIAN’S GUIDE TO SYSTEMIC SEX THERAPY The second edition of A Clinician’s Guide to Systemic Sex Therapy has been com- pletely revised, updated, and expanded. This volume is written for beginning psychotherapy practitioners in order to guide them through the complexities of sex therapy and help them to be more effi cient in their treatment. The authors offer a unique theoretical approach to understanding and treating sexual prob- lems from a systemic perspective, incorporating the multifaceted perspectives of the individual client, the couple, the family, and the other contextual factors. Both beginning and experienced sex/relationship therapists will broaden their perspectives with the Intersystem approach and gain information rarely seen in sex therapy texts such as: how to thoroughly assess each sexual disor- der, the implementation of various treatment principles and techniques, how to incorporate homework, dealing with ethical dilemmas, understanding dif- ferent expressions of sexual behavior, and addressing the impact of medical problems on sexuality. Aside from bringing the diagnostic criteria up-to-date with the DSM 5, this new edition contains a new chapter on sensate focus, an expanded section on assessment, more information about development across the lifespan, and more focus on diversity issues throughout the text. Gerald R. Weeks, PhD, APBB, CST, is a certifi ed sex therapist with 30 years of practice experience and is a professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He is among a handful of individuals to be given the “Outstanding Contribution to Mar- riage and Family Therapy” award in 2009 from the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy, and was named the “2010 Family Psychologist of the Year.” He has published over 20 books in the fi elds of individual, couple, family, and sex therapy.

III This open-access article is brought to you by the Georgetown Law Library. Posted with permission of the author. Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.law.georgetown.edu/facpub Part of the Judges Commons Charles Fahy Charles Fahy received a Bachelor of Laws degree from Georgetown in 1914. He attended school in the evenings while working in the day as legal secretary to Joseph J. Darlington, then a leader of the local bar. His secretarial skills must have helped him take law school notes, for a half- century later, as a sitting judge, he was still taking notes of oral arguments in shorthand. At the Law School-it had not yet assumed the more pretentious title of Law Center-he was active on the first staff of the Georgetown Law Journal, the Debating Society, the Morris Club, the members of which practiced brief writing and oral advocacy skills, and the Law School Sodality, an organization that actively combined the Catholic religion and the law. Upon graduation his peers noted in the class yearbook, Ye Domesday Booke, that he was "Young in limbs, in judgment old." The description under his graduation picture was quite prescient: He isn't very large-neither was Napoleon-nor is he very noisy, but the brain does not talk. He is familiar with the legal atmos- phere, likes it, and if hard work and good sense are due to win, Charlie will some day earn the deserved plaudits of a larger and more appreciative assemblage than ours.

Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date / 9 DE-6 (2/88) — 11 — ABSTRACT Present Canadian legislation provides for only one gender-specific “defence” which appears in the Criminal Code as the crime of infanticide. English law recognizes severe Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) as a mitigating factor in charges of murder. No common law country has yet accepted PMS as a full defence. Feminists have criticized this type of gender- based defence on the ground that (1) it relies on unsubstantiated theories of biological determinism and perpetuates the negative stereotyping of all women; and (2) legal recognition of conditions like PMS can be used as a sword against women.

  • Alexis De Tocqueville on Men, Women, and Marriage in A
    Outrageous Flirtation, Repressed Flirtation, and the Gallic Singularity: Alexis de Tocqueville on Men, Women, and Marriage in Aristocratic France and Democratic America Jean Elisabeth Pedersen, University of Rochester, [email protected] Work in progress. Please do not quote or cite without permission of the author. In 1831, the young French aristocrat Alexis de Tocqueville and his best friend Gustave de Beaumont traveled from the France of Louis-Philippe to the America of Andrew Jackson. While their ostensible purpose was to research and write a useful report on prison reform, their actual purpose was to establish some distance between themselves and the new July Monarchy until they could decide how best to further their fledgling legal careers in the challenging political climate of post-revolutionary France. In addition to visiting prisons, speaking to prison wardens, and interviewing prison inmates, then, they also took copious notes on every other aspect of American life that they could observe as they traveled up, down, and around the United States and Canada from New York in the east to Michigan in the west and from Quebec in the north to New Orleans in the south. Shortly after they returned to France in 1832 and co-authored their report On the Penitentiary System in 1833, Alexis de Tocqueville published the two volumes of his famous Democracy in America in 1835 and 1840.1 1 Unless otherwise noted, all further page references to Democracy in America will come from the authoritative Arthur Goldhammer translation for the Library of America edition: Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, Paperback Classics Edition, 2 vols., ed.
