After defining schematically some ter- minology for this exercise in "fidelity theory," the authorproposes a general typology of four justificationsfor changed constitutional readings: amend- ment, synthesis, fact translation, and structural translation. Describing this lastjustification as so far overlooked, he illustrates, by way of four historical case studies, how structural translation resultsfrom a pragmatic institutional response by judges to subtle changes in interpretive context-changes both in what ProfessorLessig calls the "uncontested" or backgrounddiscourses of the larger society and, through what he labels the "Erie

  • HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007
    1 HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007 Submitted by Gareth Andrew James to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, January 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ........................................ 2 Abstract The thesis offers a revised institutional history of US cable network Home Box Office that expands on its under-examined identity as a monthly subscriber service from 1972 to 1994. This is used to better explain extensive discussions of HBO‟s rebranding from 1995 to 2007 around high-quality original content and experimentation with new media platforms. The first half of the thesis particularly expands on HBO‟s origins and early identity as part of publisher Time Inc. from 1972 to 1988, before examining how this affected the network‟s programming strategies as part of global conglomerate Time Warner from 1989 to 1994. Within this, evidence of ongoing processes for aggregating subscribers, or packaging multiple entertainment attractions around stable production cycles, are identified as defining HBO‟s promotion of general monthly value over rivals. Arguing that these specific exhibition and production strategies are glossed over in existing HBO scholarship as a result of an over-valuing of post-1995 examples of „quality‟ television, their ongoing importance to the network‟s contemporary management of its brand across media platforms is mapped over distinctions from rivals to 2007.

It is now beyond doubt that human evolution is a continuous pro­ cess that has proceeded vigorously within the past 30,000 years and almost certainly— though very recent evolution is hard to measure— throughout the historical period and up until the present day. It would be of the greatest interest to know how people have evolved in recent times and to reconstruct the fingerprints of natural selection as it molded and reworked the genetic clay. Any degree of evolution in social behavior found to have taken place during historical times could help explain significant features of today’s world. But the exploration and discussion of these issues is complicated by the fact of race. Ever since the first modern humans dispersed from the ancestral homeland in northeast Africa some 50,000 years tlie populations on each continent have evolved largely inde­ pendently of one another as each adapted to its own regional envi­ ronment.

L BROADWAY HOUSE, 68-74 CARTER LANE, E.G. 1914 The rights of translation and of reproduction are reserved Printed by BALLANTYNK, HANSON &* Co. at the Ballantyne Press, Edinburgh PREFACE THE life of Bruno has been written in English more than once, and he has had many excellent commentators. No one can now write about him without availing himself very largely of the solid and scholarly work done by Tocco, Fio- rentino, Berti, Brunnhofer, Mclntyre and others. The apology for the appearance of the present work must be that some facts, unrecorded in England, have come to light of late years, and also that a few usual, almost unavoidable in accuracies require correction. Moreover, I have tried to follow the development of Bruno s thoughts in the order in or I find which he declared them ; and, on one two points, myself compelled to differ from the conclusions of this or the other commentator. Most of Bruno s works have been published in the editions of Wagner, Lagarde, and Gfrorer, well edited for their day.

  • Cheney, Vice Presidential Power and the War on Terror
    Saint Louis University School of Law Scholarship Commons All Faculty Scholarship 2009 Cheney, Vice Presidential Power and the War on Terror Joel K. Goldstein Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.law.slu.edu/faculty Part of the Constitutional Law Commons, and the President/Executive Department Commons Cheney, Vice Presidential Power and the War on Terror Paper prepared for presentation at the American Political Science Association Annual Meeting, September 5, 2009, Toronto, Ontario, Canada Joel K. Goldstein Vincent C. Immel Professor of Law Saint Louis University School of Law Copyright: Joel K. Goldstein Abstract It is generally conceded that Vice President Cheney has been our most influential vice president. During his two terms, the office assumed a significance which his predecessors, even those who themselves were quite significant, would not have thought possible. Whereas historically the vice presidency had been dismissed as too feeble, the Cheney vice presidency was attacked as too robust. The unprecedented power of Cheney as vice president had many sources. One of them was the war on terror. It, of course, assumed an unexpected prominence after 9/11, and the war on terror contributed to Cheney’s ascendance and provided the political theatre in which his unique vice- presidential role was performed. The war on terror allowed for an expansion of executive power generally in a manner which extended presidential power beyond its normal sphere even while the vice presidency itself occupied a larger space in the executive branch. This paper will explore the unprecedented nature of the Cheney vice presidency, relating its growth to the war on terror, and suggesting ways in which during Cheney’s tenure the office escaped conventional sources of vice-presidential accountability.
