Murphy, 1 Dan Murphy Professor Aronson and Professor Cahill Senior Thesis 5 December 2010 There’s No Crying in Baseball: Feminization, Sport, and Spectacle in the All American Girls’ Professional Baseball League Flipping through the television channels or browsing on the internet, people more and more are coming across advertisements for a new sports attraction: The Lingerie Football League (LFL). This women’s league began as a Super bowl halftime side show but has exploded in popularity and viewership. The LFL features all-female athletes, who wear helmets, shoulder pads, lingerie, and little else. The League’s Mission Statement sets out the image it would like to create for itself: “The Lingerie Football League has become the ultimate fan-driven live sports phenomenon—blending action, impact, and beauty.” 1 To obtain viewers, the league posts advertisements that exploit the sexuality of its players, sometimes having them pose with no clothes on at all.

  • Mobile Media: Protest and Surveillance
    Mobile Media: Protest and Surveillance On the Political Rationality of Ubiquitous Individual Connectivity DISSERTATION zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades doctor philosophiae (Dr. phil.) im Fach Medienwissenschaften eingereicht an der Kulturwissenschaftlichen Fakultat¨ Universitat¨ Paderborn 1. Gutachter Prof. Dr. Hartmut Winkler 2. Gutachterin Prof. Dr. Hannelore Bublitz von Mag. Oliver Leistert [email protected] Abstract Based on 50 interviews with activists and hackers this work analyzes the question of political rationality of mobile media within a systematic framework of studies of governmentality. It shows how through a global and massive use of mobile phones the western concept of the individual is enforced, while at the same time by means of surveillance and other interventions these new freedoms of individual mobile communication get restricted and limited again. Following the presentation of this dialectical relation of freedom and surveillance, a third part discusses the possibilities and chances of autonomous approaches for mobile communication, which operate beyond sovereign or commercial regulation. Under discussion are open source wireless solutions, such as mesh networks. Two case studies underline the arguments: SMS as a means of support and development of protests within the Pakistan Lawyer's Movement against dictator Musharraf, and on the other side the surveillance of Berlin based activists by German authorities over years. Further Keywords are: Governmentality, Surveillance, Open Source Software, Privacy, Power,

  • Perspectives from UCL Anthropology
    Lineages and Advancements in Material Culture Studies This volume comprises a curated conversation between members of the Material Culture Section of University College London Anthropology. In laying out the state of play in the field, it challenges how the anthropology of material culture is being done and argues for new directions of enquiry and new methods of investigation. The contributors consider the ramifications of specific research methods and explore new methodological frameworks to address areas of human experience that require a new analytical approach. The case studies draw from a range of contexts, including digital objects, infrastructure, data, extraterrestriality, ethnographic curation, and med- ical materiality. They include timely reappraisals of now- classical analytical models that have shaped the way we understand the object, the discipline, knowledge formation, and the artefact. Timothy Carroll is principal research fellow in the Department of Anthropology at University College London, UK. Antonia Walford is lecturer in Digital Anthropology in the Department of Anthropology at University College London, UK. Shireen Walton is lecturer in Anthropology in the Department of Anthropology at Goldsmiths, University of London, UK.
