We are deeply grateful to AISNA’s members for choos- ing Trieste as the location of the conference and, in particular, to AISNA’s board and its then president, Andrea Mariani, for their valuable assistance. We would like to thank the former chancellor of the University of Trieste, Francesco Peroni, and the head of the Humanities Department, Marina Sbisà, for greenlighting the conference and encouraging our efforts. The Humanities Department’s adminis- trative staff gave us important assistance before, during, and after the conference and we would like to thank, in particular, Gloria Norio and Furio Miscioscia. To- gether with the United States Embassy in Rome, and the CRTrieste Foundation, the Humanities Department also provided us with indispensable financial sup- port and to these three institutions we are deeply indebted. Our thanks also go to our colleagues at the University of Trieste who were part of the organizing committee: Guido Abbattista, Mauro Bussani, Claire Fennell, Georg Meyr, and Raffaella Rumiati. An important round table on research work in Trieste and its ties with the United States (Ricerca Scientifica a Trieste e Stati Uniti: Legami, Scambi, Progetti) and a welcome reception, were held in the beautiful Palazzo del Gover- no thanks to the hospitality of Trieste’s Prefect, Francesca Adelaide Garufi, and the sponsorship of the Zidarich winery. Additional assistance for the organiza- tion of the conference was provided by Trieste’s Italian American Association & American Corner and CISPEA (the Italian inter-university consortium for the study of the history and politics of the United States). We are also very grateful to the director of the Revoltella Museum of Modern Art, Maria Masau Dan, for offering our guests a guided tour of the museum on the last day of the confer- ence. We are keenly aware that the overall success of the conference rested in no small part on the enthusiasm and generosity of our student volunteers Paola Codiglia, Valentina Cralli, Francesca Guarnieri, Sheila Khawaja, and, in particu- lar, Martina Ferro-Casagrande, Annalisa Mogorovich, and Giulia Iannuzzi. We thank them most sincerely. From the start we decided that this volume would include only a selection of the papers presented at the conference. Accordingly, each of the essays submit- ted for publication in this volume was first read, critiqued, and evaluated by two anonymous referees. We were fortunate to be able to avail ourselves of the exper- tise and generosity of numerous colleagues from Europe and the United States and to all of them we extend our heartfelt thanks. As with the organization of the conference, so with the publication of this volume, we received encouragement and assistance from Marina Sbisà, the Humanities Department, and the United 7 States Embassy. We would also like to acknowledge the support of the current AISNA board and its president, Giuseppe Nori. Finally, we wish to express our deepest gratitude to Gabrielle Barfoot and Giulia Iannuzzi for their invaluable contribution to the editing of this volume. Leonardo Buonomo and Elisabetta Vezzosi leonardo buonomo - elisabetta vezzosi 8 Introduction leonardo buonomo elisabetta vezzosi Taking inspiration from the 150th anniversary of President Lincoln’s Emancipa- tion Proclamation and the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, the 22nd International Biennial Conference of Italy’s American Studies Association was held in Trieste on September 19-21, 2013. The city’s strong ties with the United States¬dating back to 1797, when a United States Consulate was first established there, and culminating in the 1947-54 period when Trieste, as a “free territory,” was partly under American administration¬made it a fitting location for this event. So also did Trieste’s rich and complicated history of national, cultural, eth- nic, and religious diversity, still perceptible today in its demographic makeup, architecture, and lifestyle. Entitled Discourses of Emancipation and the Boundaries of Freedom, the confer- ence witnessed a very large international participation, incontrovertible evi- dence that its general topic and the historic landmarks to which it paid tribute resonated strongly with scholars of widely differing backgrounds. Over the course of three days, plenary and panel speakers discussed issues of personal and national liberty, of social, political, and religious expression, and exchanged views about the ongoing battle to end discrimination on the basis of race, eth- nicity, and sexual orientation.

  • Ethics for Digital Journalists
    ETHICS FOR DIGITAL JOURNALISTS The rapid growth of online media has led to new complications in journalism ethics and practice. While traditional ethical principles may not fundamentally change when information is disseminated online, applying them across platforms has become more challenging as new kinds of interactions develop between jour- nalists and audiences. In Ethics for Digital Journalists , Lawrie Zion and David Craig draw together the international expertise and experience of journalists and scholars who have all been part of the process of shaping best practices in digital journalism. Drawing on contemporary events and controversies like the Boston Marathon bombing and the Arab Spring, the authors examine emerging best practices in everything from transparency and verifi cation to aggregation, collaboration, live blogging, tweet- ing, and the challenges of digital narratives. At a time when questions of ethics and practice are challenged and subject to intense debate, this book is designed to provide students and practitioners with the insights and skills to realize their potential as professionals. Lawrie Zion is an Associate Professor of Journalism at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, and editor-in-chief of the online magazine upstart. He has worked as a broadcaster with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and as a fi lm journalist for a range of print publications. He wrote and researched the 2007 documentary The Sounds of Aus , which tells the story of the Australian accent. David Craig is a Professor of Journalism and Associate Dean at the University of Oklahoma in the United States. A former newspaper copy editor, he is the author of Excellence in Online Journalism: Exploring Current Practices in an Evolving Environ- ment and The Ethics of the Story: Using Narrative Techniques Responsibly in Journalism .

This Task Force report has reviewed the current status of these goals. The report devotes major sections and an Appendix to a review of the philosophical and theoretical literature relating to public opinion and democracy, and to reviews of the empirical research on the relationship between public opinion and policymaking.

  • American Book Awards 2004
    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.

  • Stemming the Tide: the Presentation of Women Scientists in CSI
    http://genderandset.open.ac.uk Stemming the Tide: The Presentation of Women Scientists in CSI Shane Warren1, Mark Goodman1, Rebecca Horton1, Nate Bynum2 1Mississippi State University, 2University of Nevada Las Vegas, USA ABSTRACT This paper evaluates the role of Sara Sidle played by Jorja Fox in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) for 15 years, and her female co-stars, allowing us to discuss specific rewards and punishments (Fiske, 1987) assigned over the course of many episodes. We reviewed three of the 15 years of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation to understand the media presentation of women scientists. We found that CSI did present stereotypical views of the female investigators and that the female characters playing these roles were often punished by the script. However, we also found that the show provided an opportunity for the story of women to be told by these female characters. Accordingly, our examination of the character of Sara Sidle and the other forensic scientists found that the portrayal was more complex than previously literature suggests.

Feminist Periodicals: A Current Listing of Contents is pUblished by the Office of the University of Wisconsin System Women's Studies Librarian on a quarterly basis with the intent of increasing public awareness of feminist periodicals. It is our hope that Feminist Periodicals will serve several purposes: to keep the reader abreast of current topics in feminist literature; to increase readers' familiarity with a wide spectrum of feminist periodicals; and to provide the requisite bibliographic information should a reader wish to subscribe to a journal or to obtain a particular article at her library or through interlibrary loan. (Users will need to be aware of the limitations of the new copyright law with regard to photocopying of copyrighted materials.) Table of contents pages from current issues of major feminist journals are reproduced in each issue of Feminist Periodicals, preceded by a comprehensive annotated listing of all journals we have selected. As pUblication schedules vary enormously, not every periodical will have table of contents pages reproduced in each issue of FP. The annotated listing provides the following information on each journal: 1. Year of first pUblication. 2. Frequency of publication. 3.
