    Political Reelism: a Rhetorical Criticism of Reflection and Interpretation in Political Films

    POLITICAL REELISM: A RHETORICAL CRITICISM OF REFLECTION AND INTERPRETATION IN POLITICAL FILMS Jennifer Lee Walton A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2006 Committee: John J. Makay, Advisor Richard Gebhardt Graduate Faculty Representative John T. Warren Alberto Gonzalez ii ABSTRACT John J. Makay, Advisor The purpose of this study is to discuss how political campaigns and politicians have been depicted in films, and how the films function rhetorically through the use of core values. By interpreting real life, political films entertain us, perhaps satirically poking fun at familiar people and events. However, the filmmakers complete this form of entertainment through the careful integration of American values or through the absence of, or attack on those values. This study provides a rhetorical criticism of movies about national politics, with a primary focus on the value judgments, political consciousness and political implications surrounding the films Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), The Candidate (1972), The Contender (2000), Wag the Dog (1997), Power (1986), and Primary Colors (1998). iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank everyone who made this endeavor possible. First and foremost, I thank Doctor John J. Makay; my committee chair, for believing in me from the start, always encouraging me to do my best, and assuring me that I could do it. I could not have done it without you. I wish to thank my committee members, Doctors John Warren and Alberto Gonzalez, for all of your support and advice over the past months.

  • Foreign Policy

    Foreign Policy

    FOREIGN POLICY “The United States Senate seat I seek was once held by the likes of Sam Nunn, Max Cleland, Wyche Fowler, and, though he was not of my political party, Saxby Chambliss. All had a keen understanding of the United States’ role as a world leader. The current administration’s isolationist and unmoored foreign policy has disrupted the world norm and squandered U.S. goodwill and soft power assets. The current administration has weakened traditional alliances, provoked confrontation, and enabled and emboldened hostile foreign powers. This approach is counter-intuitive and destabilizing. I intend to return the United States and this Senate seat, in particular, to a legacy of global democratic leadership. As our nation faces global threats from climate change, terrorism, the proliferation of nuclear weapons and uncertain trade and economic conditions, it is imperative that the United States reengages our allies, rejoins international negotiations and reestablishes our role as a diplomatic and economic world leader.” - Teresa Tomlinson AS A U.S. SENATOR, I WILL: • Ensure that the United States once again partners with democracies around the globe to place freedom, human rights, prosperity and stability at the forefront of our foreign policy. • Restore America’s role as chief diplomat and ensure we are engaged in the important decision-making discussions that impact our global assets, our safety and security, and our economic prosperity. • Rebuild America’s reputation as a stalwart, trusted member of any international treaty or agreement. • Support policies that restore traditional relationships with allies of the United States. • Support policies which recognize that we are all connected and that the peace and prosperity of one nation inures to the benefit of all nations.

    Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Skyler Allyn Korgel ANS 678H Departmental Honors in Asian Studies The University of Texas at Austin May 2018 Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Department of Asian Studies Thesis Supervisor Dr. Patricia Maclachlan Department of Government Second Reader Abstract “Ho’omalimali” and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Author: Skyler Korgel Thesis Supervisor: Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Second Reader: Dr. Patricia Maclachlan This thesis seeks to discover the underlying causes and factors for the unique political situation in Hawai'i where a minority demographic has been historically dominant. In researching historical and political contexts, as well as institutional and electoral factors, analysis of all these findings has shown a constructed “succession model” behind the dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry (AJA) through the Democratic Party. The thesis also examines the implications of the disrupted and further divisive political climate of the Hawai'i Democratic Party since the death of universally respected and revered Senator Daniel Inouye (1924-2012). Senator Inouye’s death brought to an end a political career that spanned nearly six decades, and commenced a new era for Hawai'i political leadership. Quite possibly, this new era has also fractured the succession model. In a 75% minority state, throughout the past 65 years, Americans of Japanese ancestry have managed to gain a stranglehold over the Hawai'i Democratic Party, and therefore the Hawai’i state government itself.
