Hillary Rodham Clinton, “Remarks on the Release of the 10Th Annual Trafficking in Persons Report” (14 June 2010)
Voices of Democracy 10 (2015): 1-19 1 HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON, “REMARKS ON THE RELEASE OF THE 10TH ANNUAL TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS REPORT” (14 JUNE 2010) Karrin Vasby Anderson Colorado State University 1 Abstract: On June 14, 2010, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton released the State Department’s 10th annual Trafficking in Persons Report. Clinton used her speech to expand the neo-abolitionist frame that dominated anti-trafficking discourse, presenting human trafficking as a global human rights issue rather than as a problem primarily of law and border enforcement. Clinton’s speech also asserted the continuing moral authority of the United States and showcased her pragmatic sensibilities and presidential gravitas. Key Words: Hillary Clinton, Human Trafficking, Abolition, Modern-Day Slavery, Rhetoric and Diplomacy, Gender and Leadership. The problem of human trafficking has a long history, as does the record of oratorical opposition to it. Historically, abolition discourse not only condemned slavery and the transatlantic slave trade, but also offered radical reformers the opportunity to promote universal suffrage, expand the meaning of citizenship, and challenge dominant power structures.1 Contemporary anti-trafficking rhetoric often is less radical, having emerged from faith-based opposition to both legal and forced prostitution, and from governmental efforts to police borders. Much of this discourse is shaped by a “neo-abolitionist” understanding of human trafficking as “modern-day slavery”—a crime that Western governments and law enforcement agencies could prosecute and eradicate. Neo-abolitionism also posits that people with economic and political privilege are duty-bound to rescue those being “victimized” by traffickers. This view of the problem of human trafficking is challenged by a contrasting “human rights” perspective, which asserts that labor and sexual exploitation is a systemic problem—an outgrowth of poverty, misogyny, globalization, and technological change. -

The Civil War in the American Ruling Class
tripleC 16(2): 857-881, 2018 http://www.triple-c.at The Civil War in the American Ruling Class Scott Timcke Department of Literary, Cultural and Communication Studies, The University of The West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago, [email protected] Abstract: American politics is at a decisive historical conjuncture, one that resembles Gramsci’s description of a Caesarian response to an organic crisis. The courts, as a lagging indicator, reveal this longstanding catastrophic equilibrium. Following an examination of class struggle ‘from above’, in this paper I trace how digital media instruments are used by different factions within the capitalist ruling class to capture and maintain the commanding heights of the American social structure. Using this hegemony, I argue that one can see the prospect of American Caesarism being institutionally entrenched via judicial appointments at the Supreme Court of the United States and other circuit courts. Keywords: Gramsci, Caesarism, ruling class, United States, hegemony Acknowledgement: Thanks are due to Rick Gruneau, Mariana Jarkova, Dylan Kerrigan, and Mark Smith for comments on an earlier draft. Thanks also go to the anonymous reviewers – the work has greatly improved because of their contributions. A version of this article was presented at the Local Entanglements of Global Inequalities conference, held at The University of The West Indies, St. Augustine in April 2018. 1. Introduction American politics is at a decisive historical juncture. Stalwarts in both the Democratic and the Republican Parties foresee the end of both parties. “I’m worried that I will be the last Republican president”, George W. Bush said as he recoiled at the actions of the Trump Administration (quoted in Baker 2017). -

Print Journalism's Framing of Female Candidates in The
Joining the World of Journals Welcome to the nation’s first and, to our knowledge, only undergraduate research journal in communi- cations. We discovered this fact while perusing the Web site of the Council on Undergraduate Research, which lists and links to the 60 or so undergraduate research journals nationwide (http://www.cur.org/ugjournal. html). Some of these journals focus on a discipline (e.g., Journal of Undergraduate Research in Physics), some are university-based and multidisciplinary (e.g., MIT Undergraduate Research Journal), and some are university-based and disciplinary (e.g., Furman University Electronic Journal in Undergraduate Mathematics). The Elon Journal is the first to focus on undergraduate research in journalism, media and communi- cations. The School of Communications at Elon University is the creator and publisher of the online journal. The second issue was published in Fall 2010 under the editorship of Dr. Byung Lee, associate professor in the School of Communications. The three purposes of the journal are: • To publish the best undergraduate research in Elon’s School of Communications each term, • To serve as a repository for quality work to benefit future students seeking models for how to do undergraduate research well, and • To advance the university’s priority to emphasize undergraduate student research. The Elon Journal is published twice a year, with spring and fall issues. Articles and other materials in the journal may be freely downloaded, reproduced and redistributed without permission as long as the author and source are properly cited. Student authors retain copyright own- ership of their works. Celebrating Student Research This journal reflects what we enjoy seeing in our students -- intellectual maturing. -
ABSTRACT POLITICAL (IN)DISCRETION: HILLARY CLINTON's RESPONSE to the LEWINSKY SCANDAL by Kelsey Snyder Through an Examination
ABSTRACT POLITICAL (IN)DISCRETION: HILLARY CLINTON’S RESPONSE TO THE LEWINSKY SCANDAL by Kelsey Snyder Through an examination of gender, politics, and media during the time of the Lewinsky scandal, this project shows that conversations about the first lady shifted throughout 1998. Just after the allegations were made public, the press and American people fought against the forthright position that Hillary took; the expectations of traditional first ladies they had known before were not met. After facing backlash via the press, the first lady receded to more acceptably defined notions of her actions, based largely in late 20th century conservative definitions of appropriate gender roles. By the end of 1998, consideration of a run for the Senate and increased public support for her more traditional image provided a compromise for Hillary Rodham Clinton’s public image. Having finally met the expectations of the nation, the press spoke less of the first lady in comparison to family values and almost exclusively by means of her political abilities.
