    Literary War Journalism: Framing and the Creation of Meaning J. Keith Saliba, Ted Geltner Journal of Magazine Media, Volume 13, Number 2, Summer 2012, (Article) Published by University of Nebraska Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/jmm.2012.0002 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/773721/summary [ Access provided at 1 Oct 2021 07:15 GMT with no institutional affiliation ] Literary War Journalism Literary War Journalism: Framing and the Creation of Meaning J. Keith Saliba, Jacksonville University [email protected] Ted Geltner, Valdosta State University [email protected] Abstract Relatively few studies have systematically analyzed the ways literary journalists construct meaning within their narratives. This article employed rhetorical framing analysis to discover embedded meaning within the text of John Sack’s Gulf War Esquire articles. Analysis revealed several dominant frames that in turn helped construct an overarching master narrative—the “takeaway,” to use a journalistic term. The study concludes that Sack’s literary approach to war reportage helped create meaning for readers and acted as a valuable supplement to conventional coverage of the war. Keywords: Desert Storm, Esquire, framing, John Sack, literary journalism, war reporting Introduction Everything in war is very simple, but the simplest thing is difficult. The difficulties accumulate and end by producing a kind of friction that is inconceivable unless one has experienced war. —Carl von Clausewitz Long before such present-day literary journalists as Rolling Stone’s Evan Wright penned Generation Kill (2004) and Chris Ayres of the London Times gave us 2005’s War Reporting for Cowards—their poignant, gritty, and sometimes hilarious tales of embedded life with U.S.

Sonnichsen Special Collections Department University of Texas at El Paso Historical Sketch The Vietnam War (1954 – 1975) was a military conflict between the communist North Vietnamese (Viet Cong) and its allies and the government of South Vietnam and its allies (mainly the United States). The North Vietnamese sought to unify Vietnam under a communist regime, while South Vietnam wanted to retain its government, which was aligned with the West. The war was also a result of the ongoing Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States. On July 2, 1976 the North Vietnamese united the country after the South Vietnamese government surrendered on April 30. Millions of soldiers and civilians were killed during the Vietnam War.

  • Diane Arbus: Documenting the Abnormal
    Hollins University Hollins Digital Commons Art History Senior Papers Art Spring 2021 Diane Arbus: Documenting the Abnormal Lyla Cornman Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.hollins.edu/art_history_senior_papers Part of the Contemporary Art Commons Lyla Cornman Art History Senior Paper Diane Arbus: Documenting the Abnormal The late Diane Arbus once said, “Everybody has that thing where they need to look one way but they come out looking another way and that’s what people observe. You see someone on the street and essentially what you notice about them is the flaw…there’s a point between what you want people to know about you and what you can’t help people knowing about you.”1 Arbus was aware that no one is exempt from others’ gaze, including herself, a theme repeated throughout her work. In this essay, I will be examining the work of Diane Arbus that showed intimate snippets of the lives of those that would be labeled as “freaks”, “disabled”, “handicapped”, “grotesque”, and other terms that were often used to be degrading or dehumanizing. I will be specifically focusing on her photographs that depict subjects with visual bodily ‘abnormalities’ as well as disabled bodies. Diane Arbus, according to her critics, is one of the first key figures to have focused her work on people with such visual differences, living their daily life, through the evidential medium of photography. I argue that the criticisms Diane Arbus faced from art critics, institutions, and the public for her work were unfair. Those who criticized Arbus did so unjustly, for they compared the people Arbus photographed to a traditional standard of beauty found in art.

    THE BRITISH LIBRARY THE UNITED STATES AND THE VIETNAM WAR: A GUIDE TO MATERIALS AT THE BRITISH LIBRARY by Jean Kemble THE ECCLES CENTRE FOR AMERICAN STUDIES THE UNITED STATES AND THE VIETNAM WAR Introduction Bibliographies, Indexes, and other Reference Aids Background and the Decision to Intervene The Congressional Role The Executive Role General Roosevelt Truman Eisenhower Kennedy Johnson Nixon Ford Carter Constitutional and International Law The Media Public Opinion Anti-war Protests/Peace Activists Contemporary Analysis Retrospective Analysis Legacy: Domestic Legacy: Foreign Policy Legacy: Cultural Art Film and Television Novels, Short Stories and Drama Poetry Literary Criticism Legacy: Human Vietnamese Refugees and Immigrants POW/MIAs Oral Histories, Memoirs, Diaries, Letters Veterans after the War Introduction It would be difficult to overstate the impact on the United States of the war in Vietnam. Not only did it expose the limits of U.S. military power and destroy the consensus over post-World War II foreign policy, but it acted as a catalyst for enormous social, cultural and political upheavals that still resonate in American society today. This guide is intended as a bibliograhical tool for all those seeking an introduction to the vast literature that has been written on this subject. It covers the reasons behind American intervention in Vietnam, the role of Congress, the Executive and the media, the response of the American public, particularly students, to the escalation of the war, and the war’s legacy upon American politics, culture and foreign policy. It also addresses the experiences of those individuals affected directly by the war: Vietnam veterans and the Indochinese refugees.

  • Sounding Off: Folksong, Poetry, and Other Cognitive
    SOUNDING OFF: FOLKSONG, POETRY, AND OTHER COGNITIVE DISSONANCE FROM THE AMERICAN WAR IN VIETNAM A Dissertation by MATTHEW KIRK IRWIN Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Terry H. Anderson Committee Members, David Vaught John Lenihan William Bedford Clark Head of Department, David Vaught December 2014 Major Subject: History Copyright 2014 Matthew Kirk Irwin ABSTRACT Among works treating Vietnam War history, few mention and none address extensively the folk culture that American and Vietnamese military forces produced. To bridge gaps between traditional and cultural primary sources, this study examines folk culture that the historiography has neglected: graffiti, folksongs, and poetry. Most were conceived and produced in-country, near in time to specific wartime experiences and their consequent emotions, thus lending them an emotional relevance and chronological proximity to Vietnam War history few other primary sources can boast. Graffiti, songs, and poems derived from specific historical contexts, registering social commentary and chronicling the cognitive dissonance that arose among combatants when their coveted, long-held, patriotic mythologies collided with wartime realities. These sources document the Vietnam War’s “inner-history”—the emotions, beliefs, concerns, and emotions of particular individuals, many of whom find voice virtually nowhere else in the historiographical canon. What folk culture lacks in terms of scope and scale vis-à-vis traditional sources, it abounds with in physical description, emotional narration, honesty, and transparency. Its value to historical inquiry lies in its tendency to pull no punches—ever.

This project to form a new sovereign state on what would otherwise be terra nullius reignites debates of the normative and legal rule of sovereignty in its declaratory and constitutive forms. The exclusion of Liberland from international society demonstrates the operative paradigm of sovereignty as favoring norm over law. By examining why this is so, the purpose of sovereignty as a structure to reproduce power asymmetries in international society is revealed. Acknowledgments: I would like to thank my supervisor, Alexander Astrov for entertaining a thesis topic many would scoff at. I paid little attention to sovereignty or norms at the beginning of this degree, but through his course instruction, syllabus, and comments these are now concepts I care quite a bit about. I would like to thank my parents for their emotional (and sometimes financial) support in getting myself and a wheelchair onto a plane to Budapest. I would like to thank my friends in Canada for trying to push me further to the left, and my friends in the US for keeping me grounded. Lastly, I would like to thank the Liberlandians I met for accepting me into their community despite my drastically different worldview.

Reviewed by Jacqueline Marino, Kent State University, U.S.A. ince 1989, more than 150 nonfiction writers have Sparticipated in the Banff Centre’s exalted Literary Journalism Program. At this month-long residency in the Canadian Rockies, writers enjoy secluded cabins, onsite editors and the company of the similarly driv- en. Although the program seems like a treasure to the genre, writers of literary journalism have rarely needed such creature comforts. Literary journalism has always been about telling stories of real life—often stories of struggle, conflict, and discomfort. For People of the Abyss, Jack London moved to the East End slums.

Lots of my friends and family know me as ‘Vago’ which is short for Vagabond. The nickname comes from a book I wrote in 2003 called Rough Living: Tips and Tales of a Vagabond. My life has been inspired by the great travelers, writers, and wanderers of the planet. My grandmother had a full collection of National Geographic Magazines from 1913 until she passed away. As a child, I used to spend hours reading them and looking at the pictures (not just the naked ones) while my siblings and cousins rode motorcycles, snow skied, and did other normal kid things. When I was nine-years-old, I took all the money I’d earned doing chores and went to my favorite store in our little town of Big Bear Lake, California. Village Books. I wanted to buy many books, but I settled on just one and it had a profound effect on my life. It was The Kids’ Book of Games for Cars, Trains, & Planes by Rudi McToots and Dreadnaught.

GeneralDescription of the Work TheNew Journalismwas born in controversy.Tom Wolfe's first manifestoon its behalfwas written in retrospectin 1970,after almosta decadeof work by talentednonfiction writers suchas JoanDidion, Norman Mailer, Hunter Thompson,and Michael Herr. The original inspirationfor Wolfe's defensemay havebeen an insult by the writer Dwight MacDonald. ReviewingWolfe's 1965book The Kandy-KoloredTangerine-Flake Streamline Baby, "parajournalism"-an MacDonaldlabeled the new style unreliablebastard form, full of cheaptrickery, the product of a veritablewriting machine.A year later RenataAdler skeweredWolfe forhis savagelyirreverent satire of the New Yorker,which spokeof the "tiny mummies" who hauntedthe magazine'shallowed coridors. A decadelater, cloaking himself in the authority of the past,John Hersey would condemnany contemporaryjournalist who blurredthe line dividing fact and fiction. Hersey(who himself had usedcomposite charactersin his World War II reporling)declared that the legendon thejournalist's license "None simplyread, of this was madeup." Newspaperreporters and editors,for their paft, often complainedthat the New Journalism violatedlong-held principles. They expressedoutrage over its apparentindifference to the profession',.unon. of objectivity.Even worse, Wolfe-ever the lightningrod for such controversies-proposedto reversethe moral polaritiesof the craft. What newspaper journalistsrevered-the seriouswork of political reporting-Wolfe mocked as dull, self- lmportant,and out of touch with the times.What newspaperjournalists had neglectedand trivialized-the featurestory-Wolfe glorified as the highestform of reporling.
