Representations and Discourse of Torture in Post 9/11 Television: an Ideological Critique of 24 and Battlestar Galactica
REPRESENTATIONS AND DISCOURSE OF TORTURE IN POST 9/11 TELEVISION: AN IDEOLOGICAL CRITIQUE OF 24 AND BATTLSTAR GALACTICA Michael J. Lewis A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2008 Committee: Jeffrey Brown, Advisor Becca Cragin ii ABSTRACT Jeffrey Brown Advisor Through their representations of torture, 24 and Battlestar Galactica build on a wider political discourse. Although 24 began production on its first season several months before the terrorist attacks, the show has become a contested space where opinions about the war on terror and related political and military adventures are played out. The producers of Battlestar Galactica similarly use the space of television to raise questions and problematize issues of war. Together, these two television shows reference a long history of discussion of what role torture should play not just in times of war but also in a liberal democracy. This project seeks to understand the multiple ways that ideological discourses have played themselves out through representations of torture in these television programs. This project begins with a critique of the popular discourse of torture as it portrayed in the popular news media. Using an ideological critique and theories of televisual realism, I argue that complex representations of torture work to both challenge and reify dominant and hegemonic ideas about what torture is and what it does. This project also leverages post-structural analysis and critical gender theory as a way of understanding exactly what ideological messages the programs’ producers are trying to articulate. -
The Psychology Externship
The Psychology Externship INTRODUCTION The Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS) Student Counseling Center Externship provides an opportunity to experience and learn about the growing discipline of university mental health while providing psychotherapy to students in a supportive training environment. The externship is exclusively focused on the outpatient assessment and treatment of college and graduate students. Other weekly activities will include: individual supervision with licensed psychologists, a case conference and didactic seminar, and mental health outreach and prevention workshops. CLINICAL RESPONSIBILITIES Through the externship, externs develop skills in diagnosing and treating the mental health issues of a diverse college-based population. The extern will spend most of their time engaged in direct clinical work. This will include conducting initial diagnostic evaluations and ongoing weekly psychotherapy sessions. Externs are responsible for a caseload of 6-8 students per week and will receive on-site supervision. Externs wishing to see more than 6-8 students are usually easily accommodated. Externs also participate in student walk-in hours where they are trained in conducting brief evaluations and crisis intervention. PSYCHODYNAMIC FOCUS The JTS Counseling Center Psychology Externship provides an opportunity to develop and hone skills in contemporary supportive psychodynamic psychotherapy in the college setting. Weekly psychodynamic supervision, case conference, and readings discussed in the didactic seminar will enhance this learning. OUR STUDENTS The opportunity to work with students engaged in a religious and spiritual journey provides unique learning possibilities to our externs. Many of our students are enrolled in joint programs with either Columbia University or Barnard College. Of equal importance, their learning takes place at the Jewish Theological Seminary where students are training for careers in Jewish education and/or religious leadership positions. -

FOREWORD ISLAM SYMPOSIUM: AN INTRODUCTION ROBERT A. KAHN* I. ISLAM, CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERTIES, AND THE CURRENT POLITICAL CLIMATE In early 2009, the University of St. Thomas Law Journal decided to hold a symposium on “Islamic Law and Constitutional Liberty.” One moti- vation for the symposium was the hostile reception given to the Archbishop of Canterbury’s speech calling for the British legal system to take a more positive attitude toward Islamic Law.1 Another motivation arose in Ontario, where opponents of Sharia law outlawed its application in family law-based arbitration following a lengthy campaign.2 In addition to these develop- ments—which bore directly on Islamic law—came a rising tide of Euro- pean laws aimed at Muslim clothing, especially the headscarf and burqa.3 To address the growing assertion that Islam is somehow incompatible with liberal democratic norms, the symposium directed its attention to the challenges, opportunities, and tensions that might exist between Islamic law * Associate Professor of Law, University of St. Thomas School of Law. 1.

The paper was written by two self-described foreign-policy “realists,” Professor Stephen Walt and Professor John Mearsheimer.3 It asserts that the Israel “Lobby” – a cabal whose “core” is “American Jews” – has a “stranglehold” on mainstream American media, think tanks, academia, and the government.4 The Lobby is led by the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (“AIPAC”), which the authors characterize as a “de facto agent of a foreign government” that places the interests of that government ahead of the interests of the United States.5 Jewish political contributors use Jewish “money” to blackmail government officials, while “Jewish philanthropists” influence and “police” academic programs and shape public opinion.6 Jewish “congressional staffers” exploit their roles and betray the trust of their bosses by 1 Article citations reference John J. -

The Exceptional Absence of Human Rights as a Principle in American Law Mugambi Jouet* I. Introduction References to “human rights” are rare in American civil or criminal cases, including those addressing fundamental questions of justice. In the United States, human rights often evoke abuses faced by people in Third World dictatorships. In other words, human rights commonly refer to foreign problems, not domestic ones. The relative absence of human rights as a concept in American law is peculiar by international standards, as human rights play a far greater role in the domestic systems of other Western democracies. This Article begins with a survey of references to “human rights” in landmark Supreme Court cases concerning racial segregation, the death penalty, prisoners’ rights, women’s rights, children’s rights, gay rights, and the indefinite detention of alleged terrorists during the “War on Terror.” The survey reveals that even liberal Justices seldom or never invoked “human rights” in these cases. -
