    1 1 2 2 LETTER FROM BOARD CHAIR Dear Human Rights Activists, On behalf of the Board of Directors of Amnesty International USA, I am honored to welcome you to the 2013 AIUSA Regional Conference. The Regionals this year come at an extremely important time, as we welcome our new Executive Director, Steven Hawkins, and embark on exciting new initiatives. Our organization has been through a period of adjustment, and I am pleased that we are on the road towards becoming a more united organization. That’s partly why the theme for this year’s Regional Conferences strikes me as particularly timely. The “Power of Us” signifies the movement as a collective whole. It reinforces the fact that regardless of our backgrounds, it takes all of “Us,” working together to maximize our impact. Throughout the changes, our human rights work has taken and will continue to take priority. For me, the re-launch of the Urgent Action Network resonates with deep personal meaning. When I was imprisoned as a young anti-apartheid activist in South Africa many years ago, the Urgent Action that Amnesty issued on my behalf helped to secure my release. In addition, we recently watched as the United States signed the Arms Trade Treaty, representing the culmination of over 20 years of dedicated work by Amnesty. These are just two examples of great human rights progress of which we as an organization can be extraordinarily proud. This weekend you will have the opportunity to learn more about these and other critical areas of AIUSA’s work as you participate in workshops, seminars, and trainings.

Contact: [email protected] • The White Album as Neo-Victorian Fiction of Loss *-(+' 34/"5 abstract While much has been written about Sgt. Pepper’s celebration of high Victorian culture, little scholarship, if any, has focused on the White Album’s relationship to the late Victorian period. !is paper examines !e Beatles through the lens of what Victorian studies scholar Stephen Arata has called “"ctions of loss,” a body of "n de siècle texts depicting intertwined processes of “national, biological, [and] aesthetic” decline. I argue that the White Album can be read alongside Dracula and She as a “"ction of loss,” revealing the degree to which a sense of “irretrieva- ble decline” returned to haunt Britain in the late Sixties. Indeed, decline and fall comprise one of 2e Beatles’s major concerns, not only because the album doc- uments the band’s nascent breakup, but also because it "nds the band address- ing (and o#en satirizing) a constellation of "n de siècle themes, newly relevant at midcentury: fears of reverse colonization (“Back In !e USSR”); half-ironic fascination with colonial adventurism and “Eastern” enlightenment as correc- tives to decline (“!e Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill,” “Dear Prudence”); Decadent critiques of over-interpretation (“Glass Onion”); nightmares/fantasies of apocalyptic destruction (“Helter Skelter,” “Revolution $”), and representa- tions of animal bodies (“Piggies,” “Yer Blues”).
