ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Carol Jo Evans The Graduate School University of Kentucky 2010 “EVERYDAY SYMBOLS FOR MEDIATION” CONFLICT AND COOPERATION OVER THE MANAGEMENT OF CULTURAL AND NATURAL RESOURCES WITHIN THE BIG SOUTH FORK NATIONAL RIVER AND RECREATION AREA ____________________________________ ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION ____________________________________ A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Kentucky By Carol Jo Evans Lexington, Kentucky Director: Dr. John Van Willigen, Professor of Anthropology Lexington, Kentucky 2010 Copyright © Carol Jo Evans 2010 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION “EVERYDAY SYMBOLS FOR MEDIATION” CONFLICT AND COOPERATION OVER THE MANAGEMENT OF CULTURAL AND NATURAL RESOURCES WITHIN THE BIG SOUTH FORK NATIONAL RIVER AND RECREATION AREA Utilizing quantitative and qualitative methods, this in-depth ethnographic study of the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area (BSFNRRA) examines social conflict and resistance stemming from competing values, definitions, and concerns over the management of cultural and natural resources within the region. The timing of this project is fortuitous for the National Park Service (NPS) has completed the creation of a ten year General Management Plan. Thus, we are provided with an opportunity to study and analyze the policy and methodology that park officials are required to follow in creating a management plan and eliciting public participation. The first goal of this study is to ascertain how the establishment of the BSFNRRA has altered local communities: (1) means of access to the area and (2) uses of resources within the area. Several questions will be asked and probed for answers. What happens to the meanings of the land and places on the land (such as a family cemetery) when the land is transformed from private to public ownership and is managed by a government agency for the benefit of preservation or recreation? How have residents been affected by and adapted to this transformation? The second goal is to probe the complex relationships and identify sources of conflict, resistance, and cooperation between community residents, NPS employees, and special interest groups. Essential questions arise and must be addressed. How are conflict, resistance, and cooperation demonstrated? The third goal is to delineate what measures can be taken to lessen conflict or resistance and promote cooperation? Since resistance often manifests itself in not participating in public meetings pertaining to the BSFNRRA, what measures can be taken to promote public participation? In conclusion, this study will draw clear and concise recommendations towards diminishing conflict between local residents and the NPS, along with recommendations on increasing public participation in the creation of policy pertaining to the management of public land. In addition to the applied aspect of this project, this study contributes to the body of theory by building on the mentalist paradigm of symbolic interactionism and the materialist paradigms of conflict and resistance theory.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The writing of a dissertation can be a challenging and enlightening experience, yet it is not possible without the personal and practical support of numerous people. My deepest gratitude is to my advisor and mentor, Dr. John Van Willigen. I have been fortunate to have an advisor who gave me the freedom to explore my own thoughts, yet to also provide the guidance and direction to steer me back to the right path when I ventured into tangents. Similar to my father, Dr. Van Willigen taught me to think for myself, in addition to helping me transition from a student writing a term paper, to a scholar writing a dissertation. My sincere gratitude is also given to my other committee members, who like Dr. Van Willigen, helped me overcome many crisis situations in order to finish this dissertation. It was with the assistance of Dr. Kim McBride that I was introduced to my research area, who I was later privileged to work with on various research projects and to consider a dear friend. I am also grateful to Dr. Lori Garkovich for her encouragement and practical advice, in addition to her positive attitude. I am also thankful to her for commenting on my views and enriching my ideas. I am also indebted to Dr. Deborah Crooks, who provided both scholarly and emotional support, even though she joined the committee near the end of the process, she has supported my growth as a scholar since my first days as a graduate student. As the outside member from the Department of Political Science, I value Dr. Ernest Yanarella’s expertise on sustainable land development and conflict theory, especially his comments on Gramsci, and am grateful iii he volunteered for this role. I wish to also thank Dr. Karl Raitz, from the Department of Geography, for his insight and comments on the development of my research ideas. I am also thankful to Dr. Richard Jefferies, for his assistance as Director of Graduate Studies. I addition, I wish to thank Wanda Brooks, administrative assistant for the Department of Anthropology at the University of Kentucky, for her support and assistance with administrative work, and her assistance with my Power Point presentation before the defense of my dissertation. I am also grateful to the University of Kentucky’s Department of Anthropology for providing me with teaching assistantships while completing my degree, in addition to a Dissertation Enhancement Award. Furthermore, I would also like to express my gratitude to the National Science Foundation for providing a Summer Training Grant to explore possible research topics for my dissertation, which was supervised by Dr. Peter Little. I am also especially grateful for the fellowship funded by the Ford Foundation-Community Forestry Research Program for supporting my one year residency at the research site, which allowed me to become a part of the local community. In addition, I wish to express my gratitude to Dr. Tom Greider, from the Department of Rural Sociology at the University of Kentucky, for sponsoring and supervising the survey implemented in this research study. I wish to also thank Dr. Greider for the many hours he spent listening and commenting on my ideas for my dissertation topic. I would like to express the deepest appreciation to the National Park Service, for granting me a consultant position with the National Park Service to collect information on the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area (BSFNRRA), in addition to access and use of various documents and publications. It was with the help of Myra iv Marcum, Biological Science Technician for the BSFNRRA, that I was introduced to various local residents and resources, and whose friendship I will always cherish. I am especially grateful to Tom Des Jean, archaeologist for the BSFNRRA, Tom was always available by phone or email to answer my numerous questions, and if he did not know the answer off hand (which in most cases he knew) he would find the answer for me as soon as possible. I can not express the amount of respect that I have for Tom’s knowledge on the BSFNRRA and other topics in general, his long list of publications is testament to this fact.

INTRODUCTION Search for Common Ground (SFCG) works with local partners in many countries to find culturally appropriate means of strengthening those societies' capacity to constructively deal with conflicts. SFCG is currently working on conflict prevention, resolution and transformation in Lebanon. Towards this end, SFCG has developed and aired a TV drama called “All of us in the Neighborhood” (Kilna Bil Hayy) that targets children (aged 7-15 years old) and their parents. The TV drama consisting of 13 episodes was aired in spring 2009 on the LBCI TV channel. Pan Arab Research Center (PARC) was commissioned to carry out a comprehensive research program comprising of both Qualitative and Quantitative modules to gain insights and measure the short-term impact of this program on the target audience. The study was carried out after 3-4 months of having aired the TV drama.
  • Lula in the Labyrinth

    Lula in the Labyrinth

    francisco de oliveira LULA IN THE LABYRINTH he re-election of Luiz Inácio da Silva in October 2006 allows us to decipher the ways in which Brazil’s political landscape has been reconstituted under the Workers Party government. The whirlwind of deregulation, privatization Tand restructuring under Fernando Henrique Cardoso in the 1990s— and with it, the dissolution of the industrial working class created during the developmentalist era—had torn up all established relations between economy and politics, classes and representation. The result was a period of indeterminacy, the context of Lula’s first presidential victory in 2002. Since then, a novel combination of neo-populism and party statification, shored up by social-liberal handouts, on the one hand, and government graft, on the other, has helped to forge a new form of class rule in Brazil that could be characterized as ‘hegemony in reverse’. In what follows I will trace the ways in which the outcomes of the ‘era of indeterminacy’ were overdetermined by intensive exposure to the relations of global capital. But first, a brief comment on the 2006 elec- tion itself. Although voting is compulsory in Brazil, 23 per cent of the electorate stayed away from the ballot box altogether, while another 8 per cent cast either null or blank votes. This means that 31 per cent of voters were either not interested, or could not bring themselves to vote for any candidate. It is the highest measure of electoral indifference in modern Brazilian history. The reality of this disengagement was all too apparent in the street: there was no excitement, not a single pt banner or that of any other party, no mobilization whatsoever.

    Sophie's World

    Sophie’s World Jostien Gaarder Reviews: More praise for the international bestseller that has become “Europe’s oddball literary sensation of the decade” (New York Newsday) “A page-turner.” —Entertainment Weekly “First, think of a beginner’s guide to philosophy, written by a schoolteacher ... Next, imagine a fantasy novel— something like a modern-day version of Through the Looking Glass. Meld these disparate genres, and what do you get? Well, what you get is an improbable international bestseller ... a runaway hit... [a] tour deforce.” —Time “Compelling.” —Los Angeles Times “Its depth of learning, its intelligence and its totally original conception give it enormous magnetic appeal ... To be fully human, and to feel our continuity with 3,000 years of philosophical inquiry, we need to put ourselves in Sophie’s world.” —Boston Sunday Globe “Involving and often humorous.” —USA Today “In the adroit hands of Jostein Gaarder, the whole sweep of three millennia of Western philosophy is rendered as lively as a gossip column ... Literary sorcery of the first rank.” —Fort Worth Star-Telegram “A comprehensive history of Western philosophy as recounted to a 14-year-old Norwegian schoolgirl... The book will serve as a first-rate introduction to anyone who never took an introductory philosophy course, and as a pleasant refresher for those who have and have forgotten most of it... [Sophie’s mother] is a marvelous comic foil.” —Newsweek “Terrifically entertaining and imaginative ... I’ll read Sophie’s World again.” — Daily Mail “What is admirable in the novel is the utter unpretentious-ness of the philosophical lessons, the plain and workmanlike prose which manages to deliver Western philosophy in accounts that are crystal clear.

    SAVAGE DRAGON: WARFARE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Erik Larsen | 128 pages | 20 Jun 2017 | Image Comics | 9781534303638 | English | Fullerton, United States Savage Dragon: Warfare PDF Book Though he had only been semi-active before, the Dragon officially resigns from the S. Following this, the Dragon fights a Dr. In these appearances, the character of the Dragon remained basically the same as it had been in Graphic Fantasy , with a few details modified such as the inclusion of his wife, who was dead in his previous incarnation. The Fiend can possess living bodies, and his powers are fueled by the capacity for hate of those possessed. Richard Richards' office building. Read a little about our history. Thankfully, his healing factor would mend him back together, and eventually, he would take down the original Overlord in a particularly violent way as revenge. The collection featured stories by the four remaining Image founders Erik Larsen, Todd McFarlane , Marc Silvestri , and Jim Valentino returning to the characters they first created for the company. Initially debuting in a three-issue miniseries, the Savage Dragon comic book met with enough success to justify a monthly series, launched in After a number of serious incidents, including the murder of the superhero Mighty Man and the brutal mauling of SuperPatriot , Darling takes drastic action. As Erik Larsen is occasionally wont to do, Savage Dragon speeds things up—not in the breakneck, action-orgy kind of way that we saw last month, but in order to bring the story up-to-date, since it unfolds in real time and in a real-ish facsimile of the world.
