    Counterintelligence in the Kingdom and the States

    Counterintelligence in the Kingdom and the States A Historical Comparison of the FBI and MI5 Matthew Kalkavage Master’s Thesis Advisor: Professor Arthur Hulnick Submitted: April 14, 2014 Executive Summary The United States and the United Kingdom have different kinds of organizations to defend their national security from espionage and terrorist threats. The US relies on the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), a law enforcement agency with counterintelligence functions, while the UK depends on the Security Service (MI5), a purely counterintelligence agency without law enforcement powers, to meet these challenges. The purpose of this paper is to examine the benefits, detriments, and the key motivations behind each system’s development for the sake of showing that MI5 has ultimately served the UK better than the FBI has served the US in the realm of counterintelligence. The historical trajectory of the Security Service is one of constant honing of counterintelligence work from its very inception. The history of the FBI reveals an organization that was initially established for law enforcement purposes and has never completely abandoned its preference for that mission amid US governmental pressure to become more intelligence- driven in times of international crisis (especially during World War I, World War II, and parts of the Cold War). The counterintelligence practices of the Service and the Bureau throughout their histories illustrate the deficiencies and proficiencies of each, which mutually contribute to the understanding of key counterintelligence qualities that are presented in the final chapter. These attributes are an overall penchant for secrecy, an external orientation, and a preventative operational culture.

Postman# INTRODUCTION Newly available digital tools enable content producers to recreate or reanimate people’s likenesses, voices, and behaviors with almost perfect fidelity. We will have soon reached the point (if we haven’t already) when a movie studio could make an entire “live action” feature film without having to film any living actors. Computer generated images (CGI) could entirely replace the need for human beings to stand in front of cameras and recite lines. Digital animation raises a number of important legal and social issues, including labor relations between actors and movie studios, the creation and dissemination of fake news items, and the production of 1 Copyright 2018 by Christopher Buccafusco, Jared Vasconcellos Grubow, and Ian J.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Time of the Thriller: Suspense and Continuity after World War II A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in English by Martin Zirulnik 2019 © Copyright by Martin Zirulnik 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Time of the Thriller: Suspense and Continuity after World War II by Martin Zirulnik Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Ursula K. Heise, Chair Through the analysis of a selection of thrillers written and produced in the years immediately following World War II, this dissertation defines the threshold conditions of narrative suspense in the twentieth century—the pending disappearance of continuity, not just in techniques of storytelling but in longstanding assumptions about time, about how it is and how it ought to be organized. These works, for instance, seem in various ways to prefigure a more general attenuation of narrative retrospection—narrative retrospection as a grammatical convention of realist fiction but also as a form of belief, as fidelity to the qualitative density of human experience as it is transmitted through time. This period of aesthetic transition, marked by the iconoclasm of the avant-garde, is often seen as a terminal point in the history of storytelling after modernism, a time (though certainly not the only time) when the novel dies along with the systems of value that upheld it. Alternately, as more recent scholarship has shown, it can be seen as the moment when the present tense starts to gain traction as the dominant mode of fictionalizing time.
