  • Autobiography in Fiction
    TEFTX13 S ER October 29, 1982 A Journal of Free Voices 75 .0 Autobiography in Fiction 'M GOING TO talk about myself— which, I suppose, is what is ex- I pected of me. But certainly not from the position of defending myself or even from that of a "writer of autobiographi- cal fiction." I'm afraid that definition of me would not be nearly enough. I'm way beyond that. Way beyond autobiog- raphy! I've passed on through and come out somewhere else — beyond myself— long ago. So I'm not taking a stand and I do not appear here as an exponent of, or even as a maker of, autobiographical — except in my own way! — anymore than one of what is called "experimental fic- tion." Yet for me iverything I have ever written, just about, I guess, has been in the nature of experiment — most of the time. My question has been, and keeps being, "How in the world will I do it? Well, let me try this, let me try that." I've really been experimenting to see if I could write — at all — what I had in mind, whatever vision I had, whatever it was that was obviously pushing me to get the design of, to get some meaning of — and some relief from, some peace, so it would let me alone. So it's all been an experiment — and, finally, invention, imagination, fabrication — way beyond where I started.

  • Alternative Energy Coalition Records Finding
    Special Collections and University Archives : University Libraries Alternative Energy Coalition Records 1960-1981 (Bulk: 1976-1980) 8 boxes (12 linear ft.) Call no.: MS 586 Collection overview A product of the vibrant, progressive political culture of western Massachusetts during the early 1970s, the Alternative Energy Coalition played a key role in the growth of antinuclear activism. In 1974, the AEC helped mobilize support for Sam Lovejoy after he sabotaged a weather tower erected by Northeast Utilities in Montague, Mass., in preparation for a proposed nuclear power plant, and they helped organize the drive for a referendum opposing not only the proposed plant in Montague, but existing plants in Rowe, Mass., and Vernon, Vt. Forming extensive connections with other antinuclear organizations, the AEC also became one of the organizations that united in 1976 to form the Clamshell Alliance, which made an art of mass civil disobedience. The AEC Records provide insight into grassroots activism of the 1970s and 1980s, galvanized by the seemingly unrestrained growth of the nuclear power industry. The records, emanating from the Hampshire County branch, contain both research materials used by the AEC and organizational and promotional materials produced by them, including publications, minutes of meetings, correspondence, and materials used during protests. Of particular interest are a thick suite of organizational and other information pertaining to the occupation of the Seabrook (N.H.) nuclear power plant in 1979 and minutes, notes, and other materials relating to the founding and early days of the Clamshell Alliance. The collection is closely related to the Antinuclear Collection (MS 547). See similar SCUA collections: Alternative energy Antinuclear Famous Long Ago Massachusetts (West) Peace Political activism Background on Alternative Energy Coalition On Washington's Birthday in 1974, a local organic farmer and member of the Montague Farm commune, Sam Lovejoy, committed an act of civil disobedience.

A house like many others with a garden and white- washed cinder-block walls. But there are a large number of people entering and leaving the door at the back of this house. And on a door at the front "Casa Oscar Romero" is painted in black. On this late afternoon in San Benito, five or six men in their late teens, twenties, and thirties kick around a soccer ball on the empty, dusty lot next to the house. An older man and young girl sit on a wooden bench with their backs against a wall of the house. The man grips the edge of the plank on which he is seated and stares off into space. The girl watches the men kicking the ball around and laughs.

  • ROBERT WILLIAMS Political Legitimacy and the Dynamics of Anti-Nuclear Protest in America
    EnterText 6.3 ROBERT WILLIAMS Political Legitimacy and the Dynamics of Anti-Nuclear Protest in America I. PROLOGUE 1. Political legitimacy is a useful concept, not only for political and social philosophers, but also for social scientists. Recent events happening in the USA—for example, the 2000 Presidential election and the George W. Bush administration’s policies leading to the Iraqi war—allow us to raise issues about legitimacy, or the justifications of a polity’s right to govern. In those events, and indeed for many others, legitimacy is often analysed in terms of procedural norms. Is the national government accountable, in a liberal-democratic sense, to the electorate? Such a question is implied in surveys of public opinion on President Bush’s policies in Iraq. Or take another question: how do we resolve conflicts between competing claims to equal protection? That question was faced by the US Supreme Court when it was deciding the case, Bush v. Gore.1 For some political commentators, the American polity is legitimate to the extent that it judiciously upholds procedural norms like due process and equal protection. 2. Yet I contend that the concept of political legitimacy is not, and should not, be only about procedural norms. This paper examines a way to theorise the implications for political legitimacy Robert Williams: Anti-Nuclear Protest in America 111 EnterText 6.3 which arise from popular protests against government policies. In brief, the paper provides a critically framed concept of legitimacy and applies it to nuclear energy policy in America. Nuclear energy itself had not captured much public attention before September 2001 (certainly not compared to the attention atomic power had received in previous decades).
