    TEXTING CAPITAL: Mobile Phones, Social Transformation, and the Reproduction of Power in the Philippines A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at George Mason University By Cecilia S. Uy-Tioco Master of Arts The New School University, 2004 Master of Arts New York University, 1996 Bachelor of Arts Ateneo de Manila University, 1992 Director: Timothy Gibson, Associate Professor Department of Communication Summer Semester 2013 George Mason University Fairfax, VA This work is licensed under a creative commons attribution-noderivs 3.0 unported license. ii DEDICATION For my mom, Joy Uy-Tioco, who encouraged me to be curious, intellectually and otherwise, and to the memory of my dad, George Uy-Tioco, who would have loved mobile phones, text messaging, and the Internet. +AMDG iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It would have been impossible to complete this degree without the support of friends, family, professors, and colleagues. I must start by thanking my dissertation chair, Tim Gibson, who has been incredibly encouraging, generous, and supportive, while being firm and constructively critical. If I could be half the professor he is, I would consider myself a success. I too am a charter member of the Tim Gibson fan club. Throughout my time at the CS program Paul Smith has always challenged me and pushed me to think more critically, and for that I am most grateful. It was during a directed reading course with Mark Sample that I really began to study new media and I am grateful for his support and insights. My scholarship has been enriched by courses and conversations with various faculty members at the GMU CS program particularly, Debra Lattanzi Shutika, Roger Lancaster, Dina Copelman, Jean-Paul Dumont, Denise Albanese, Hugh Gusterson, Debra Berghoffen, Johanna Bockman, Ellen Todd, and Scott Trafton.

A generation has passed since. The march towards globalisation that India hoped to ride is itself under question today. India’s politics, too, is mirroring these global transformations. The country has shifted from a period of multi-party coalitions to a single-party democracy. In a new de- globalising world, India still sees itself as a leading power—one that aspires to shape international outcomes rather than just acquiesce to them.

  • Buttressing Us-India Economic Relations Event
    BUTTRESSING US-INDIA ECONOMIC RELATIONS INDIA’S EMERGING ROLE IN THE INDO-PACIFIC REGION WASHINGTON DC, APRIL 19, 2018 EVENT REPORT LAUNCH OF CUTS WASHINGTON DC CENTER SESSION I: CREATING A BALANCED DISCOURSE IN THE INDO-PACIFIC The event commenced with the first session focusing on identifying challenges and opportunities for buttressing US-India relations in the context of India’s emerging role in the Indo-Pacific region. Panelists broadly discussed why and how should the Quad of Australia, India, Japan and the US enhance their cooperation beyond maritime security engagement in the Indo-Pacific region. Discussing these challenging subjects were a panel of distinguished dignitaries and practitioners of US-India relations: Pradeep S Mehta, Secretary General, CUTS International; Arvind Subramanian, Chief Economic Advisor to the Government of India; Ambassador Alice Wells, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for South and Central Asia, US State Department, Washington DC; Ambassador Katrina Cooper, Deputy Chief of Mission, Embassy of Australia, Washington DC; Ambassador Santosh Jha, Deputy Chief of Mission, Embassy of India, Washington DC. Ambassador Kazutoshi Aikawa, Deputy Chief of Mission, Embassy of Japan was an observer. Additionally, the first session hosted another group of speakers discussing the same topic: Subir Gokarn, Executive Director, International Monetary Fund; Mukesh Aghi, President & CEO, US India Strategic Partnership Forum; and Nisha Biswal, President, US India Business Council. During the session, it was mentioned that more than a decade after the global financial crisis, the global community continues to witness significant geo-economic shifts with concomitant challenges and opportunities in the geo-strategic and geo-political spheres. Expectedly, the center of gravity of this shift is moving towards the Indo-Pacific region – a vast swathe from the west coast of the US to the Bay of Bengal.

  • Summersville Hydroelectric Power Plant
    SUMMERSVILLE HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANT THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO WORK TO MAKE THEIR DREAMS A REALITY Written and designed by Gwen Hagaman G. H. Bailey Company Mount Nebo, West Virginia FIRST EDITION Printed in the United States of America Copyright © 2007 by Noah Corp. All rights reserved Summersville Hydroelectric Project SUMMERSVILLE HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANT INTRODUCTION By Jim Price President of Noah Corporation July 2004 We set up Noah Corp. in 1980 to benefit from the law that passed in 1978, which required utilities to buy power from small power producers, which included hydroelectric projects less than 80 MW. After searching for existing dams that could be developed, we began to focus on existing federal dams in the eastern U.S., particularly in the Appalachian Mountains, where there were a number of flood control dams which did not have power generation facilities in place. We looked at federal projects in Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, etc. In considering the power generating features of these dams, Summersville Dam stood heads above the crowd. It was being examined by the Army Corps of Engineers for a federal project and was receiving some consideration by private companies for development of hydropower. I first visited the site in July 1980. I was captured by the power potential as evidenced by the water rushing out of its penstocks (tubes) below the dam. It was so impressive. We did not know at that time how difficult, expensive and time-consuming the development would be – with so many setbacks.

  • Rhetorical Work in Soft Power Diplomacy: the U.S.-India 123 Agreement and a Relationship Transformed
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: RHETORICAL WORK IN SOFT POWER DIPLOMACY: THE U.S.-INDIA 123 AGREEMENT AND A RELATIONSHIP TRANSFORMED M. Karen Walker, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Dissertation Directed by Professor James F. Klumpp Department of Communication My dissertation broadens and deepens our understanding of soft power diplomacy as a creation of constitutive rhetoric. I perform a rhetorical critique of discourses generated during three years’ debate on the U.S.-India 123 Agreement, a watershed moment in bilateral relations. In Chapter 1, I introduce the frames of reference that guided my research, set my project within the literature stream, and lay foundations for my argument. In Chapter 2, I explore how soft power discourse facilitated India’s diplomatic move from outside to inside the nonproliferation regime. I introduce identification and courtship as constructs to explain soft power attraction, presenting narratives of exceptionalism, deliverance and kinship that emerged from discourse. In Chapter 3, I explain the bilateral movement from estranged to engaged as deepened identification and consubstantiation, the achievement of a permanent union. I trace the development of “democracy,” “pluralism,” and “creativity” as terms of ideological commitment and mutual obligation. I also present two additional narratives, the sojourner narrative, which reconstituted the Indian Diaspora’s political identity, and the convergence narrative, which constituted the United States and India as bilateral partners and transformed the U.S.-India 123 Agreement from an idea about nuclear cooperation into the embodiment of a resilient, enduring, and comprehensive partnership. Each narrative drew in substances of identification that reduced recalcitrance, changed perspectives, overcame estrangement, and motivated concerted action.
