WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1991. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, SELECT COMMITTEE ON CHILDREN, YOUTH, AND FAMILIES, Washington, DC The select committee met, punuant to call, at 10 a.m., in room 2118, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Patricia Schroeder (chairwoman of the select committee) presiding. Members present: Representatives Schroeder, Johnson, Peterson and Martinez. Staff present: Karabelle Pizzigati, staff director; Jill Kagan, deputy staff director; Tim Morrison, chief investigator; Mickey Uelses, investigator; Danielle Madison, minority staff director; Carol Statute, minority deputy staff director; and Joan Godley, committee clerk. Chairwoman SCHROEDER. I would like to call the hearing to order and thank you all for being here. The Select Committee on Children, Youth, and Families feels very strongly that we should be looking at all issues that affect America's families since automotive accidents are the number one killer of all Americans under age 44. We need to do everything we can to reduce the number of deaths on our roadways. The select committee has started its first in a series of investiga- tive hearings to determine if enough is being done to protect the American family. There are some issues that we will be bringing into focus today that we think are important. As I mentioned, motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death and injuries for Americans up to age 44. Every week the number of children killed in motor vehicle accidents would fill three large school buses, and motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of the crippling of children in the United States. We don't bring this up to shock people, but to draw attention to a problem that is made all the more tragic because much of this death is preventable. There are two things that we want to be talking about this morn- ing. First, in 1966 the Federal Government created what is now known as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, NHTSA, in an effort to try to

  • The Naturalization of “Good” Violence in Recent Films
    THE NATURALIZATION OF “GOOD” VIOLENCE IN RECENT FILMS ABOUT THE WAR ON TERROR by Alejandro Botia A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Media and Communication Middle Tennessee State University May 2017 Dr. Jane Marcellus, Chair Dr. Sanjay Asthana Dr. Robert Kalwinsky To my sons Martin, Simon and my beloved wife Carolina ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First of all, I would like to thank Middle Tennessee State University for giving me the opportunity of pursuing my postgraduate studies and experiencing again the fresh air of the academic environment. I would also like particularly to express my gratitude to Dr. Jane Marcellus, my thesis advisor and Committee Chair, whose guidance, support and encouragement were a constant source of motivation and an invaluable input for the achievement of this research. Special thanks to Dr. Sanjay Asthana and Dr. Robert Kalwinsky, the other two committee members, for their suggestions, ideas and materials that enriched the scope of this study. Last, but not least, my gratitude to the Writing Center at MTSU and all the editors (Jamie, Austin, Jane, Ellie, Stacey, Erica, Jency) who correct my grammar and made these pages more readable. iii ABSTRACT This thesis undertakes a narrative analysis of three recent films about the war on terror: Olympus Has Fallen (2013), American Sniper (2014) and London Has Fallen (2016) to study how these movies produce meaning with regard to the worldwide fight against terrorism and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Drawing on Barthes´ theory of semiotics and Foucault´s notion of Subjectification and Knowledge/power, this research explores the construction of the terrorist character and the Arab enemy in fictional narratives and how those meanings produce a body of knowledge which defines the imaginary space to think and talk about such phenomena.
