  • Thesis the Tea Party
    THESIS THE TEA PARTY: THE DISCOURSE OF CLASS, RACE, & GENDER/SEXUALITY Submitted by Benjamin Thomas Grant Schrader Department of Ethnic Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2011 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Eric Ishiwata Joon Kim Courtenay Daum ABSTRACT THE TEA PARTY: THE DISCOURSE OF CLASS, RACE, & GENDER/SEXUALITY My thesis seeks to examine the Tea Party and its effects on the discourse around the intersections of race, class, and gender. It is my contention that the actions and discourse around the Tea Party Movement creates a cultural pedagogy that promotes structural violence that stems from an ideology of individualism. The promotion of individualism breaks down the foundations of democratic practices. In order to examine this, my investigation will work to: 1) explore the ties between neoliberalism, nationalism, and patriotism; 2) trace the ways in which race plays a role in Tea Party rhetoric and show its ties to racism, and; 3) locate the ways in which the Tea Party movement promotes hyper-masculinity. The final chapter will explore the construction of communal traditions that promote volunteerism and/or community engagement, which in turn could build social capital that could counter the endemic ideology of individualism. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENT Special thanks to my thesis advisor, Eric Ishiwata, I couldn’t have done it without you! Thanks also to my committee, Joon Kim and Courtenay Daum. Also, thank you very much to the Ethnic

L. Rev. (2014). Available at: https://brooklynworks.brooklaw.edu/blr/vol79/iss2/15 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Law Journals at BrooklynWorks. It has been accepted for inclusion in Brooklyn Law Review by an authorized editor of BrooklynWorks. Restatement of Place* Mae Kuykendall† INTRODUCTION This article will explore the possible fit for a Restatement project of a large domain of human perception that pervades legal reasoning as an unstated background assumption. The domain is that of place, a term that deserves clarification for this article by comparison with related terms, such as territory and space. Place as a legal subject brings forth thoughts of the nation-state, jurisdiction, sovereignty, and the norms in international law affecting the reach of a sovereign into the territory of another sovereign. Those concerns are necessarily touched upon in this article, but the chief objectives are to (1) illustrate, through a survey of place’s effect in several very different legal contexts, how ideas about place have influenced legal reasoning, and (2) evaluate the possibility of making place a topic around which Restatement principles could be fashioned. Place, as a factor that is present in law but often not fully seen, has not been recognized for its theoretical importance as a viewpoint from which to understand the functioning and implications of many areas of the law.

A Fast Moving Perceptive, Almost Prophetic BookBy Joel L. GandelmanWhen "The Hillary Effect" came out in December you could have bet that it would have been just one more of these quickie political books that seem to be a collection of uninspired recycled reporting notes, or reworded blog posts, except this time it would focus on the ill-fated Presidential nomination campaign of Hillary Clinton, American history's first Presidential primary winning female candidate. In fact, "The Hillary Effect" proved to be a breath of 21st century new journalism fresh air. In several ways, it's standing the test of time because Washington analyst Taylor Marsh's analysis is so perceptive that -- no joke -- you can't find a lot of her spot-on observations about politics, politics' ruthlessness, and sexism in media and in politics anywhere else.She contends that Hillary Clinton faced a double edged, razor-sharp sword, and fell on it: the news media's treatment of her was different as First Lady, Senator and as the country's first viable female Presidential aspirant, not just because she was a woman, but because she was Hillary Clinton.

  • The Hugh Hefner of Politics
    The Hugh Hefner of Politics From porno to the primaries: the long, strange life of pro-Hillary blogger and radio personality Taylor Marsh. Joe Mathews, The New Republic Published: Monday, June 16, 2008 LAS VEGAS--I ask Taylor Marsh whether she really keeps a gun to protect herself from her detractors, as she claims on her website. So, she escorts me into her bedroom to show the proof: an HK 9mm handgun. "I know how to use it," she says, pointing the weapon briefly in my direction (it's unloaded) before walking over to the other side of the bed. There, she holds up her husband's firearm, a Ruger Mini-14 rifle. "I am just reviled everywhere," she declares with more than a hint of pride. She's proud because, in all honesty, being hated has been good for business. Without hatred, Marsh wouldn't be half the Internet celebrity she is today. Her feverishly pro-Hillary Clinton site, TaylorMarsh.com, has made her a standout in a progressive blogosphere overrun by Obama soldiers. She has argued that if Obama "was a woman, he wouldn't be getting the time of day;" she has called superdelegates "spineless" for not backing Clinton; and she has routinely portrayed Obama and his supporters as wimps and crybabies ("What do we get from Obama and his team? ... Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah"). She's also picked fights with some of the bigger names in media, from Josh Marshall ("visibly sexist") to the late Tim Russert (whom she called "anti-feminist, misogynistic, ego driven" months before his death) to MSNBC personalities such as David Shuster and Chris Matthews.

  • Utopia Or Dystopia?
    The Diversity of Internet Media: Utopia or Dystopia? Bryan J. Dworak Law Student Duke University School of Law [email protected] John Lovett Ph.D. Candidate in Political Science UNC-Chapel Hill [email protected] Frank R. Baumgartner Richard J. Richardson Distinguished Professor of Political Science UNC-Chapel Hill [email protected] Abstract At the dawn of the Internet age, some believed that the medium would be the great equalizer for information. With unlimited space, unlimited journalistic independence from beat writing, and a deliberative relationship with their audience, the media would expand their discussion of issues into an unlimited number of topics. However, others argue that Internet media continues to act similarly to traditional media, continuing to mimic stories from other news sources and showing powerful status-quo tendencies. The Internet has unquestionably removed many barriers from traditional journalism: the news hole is infinite, for one. But has it transformed the collection and dissemination of information as many hoped and expected? Using datasets on traditional media from seven sources in five countries, and Internet media data from the blogosphere and Twitter, we test whether Internet media can be better described in the terms of the utopian view or the dystopian view. We focus particularly on the diversity, volatility, and amount of friction in coverage. We find that evidence points in favor of the dystopian argument: the media agendas of traditional and new media is similarly diverse, and attention in Internet media exhibits the friction also seen in traditional media. Keywords: media and politics, Internet media, media agenda, public policy, agenda-setting Paper prepared for presentation at the meetings of the Midwest Political Science Association, April 3-6, 2014.
