Michael Froomkin* & Zak Colangelo** Abstract: The idea that privacy makes you safer is unjustly neglected: public officials emphasize the dangers of privacy while contemporary privacy theorists acknowledge that privacy may have safety implications but hardly dwell on the point. We argue that this lack of emphasis is a substantive and strategic error and seek to rectify it. This refocusing is particularly timely given the proliferation of new and invasive technologies for the home and for consumer use more generally, not to mention surveillance technologies such as so-called smart cities. Indeed, we argue—perhaps for the first time in modern conversations about privacy—that in many cases privacy is safety, and that, in practice, United States law already recognizes this fact.

Kain, Western Connecticut State Restorative?" phrase "any eye for an eye...life for a life" as it relates to University justification for the use of the death penalty. The phrase is most often used to explain and justify retribution, when, by historical analysis, it actually was meant to be restorative. Because most modern criminal justice textbook authors have mistakenly used the phrase to define retribution, students are being misinformed and thus led to am incomplete and inaccurate understanding of the relevant terms.

In effect, we contend that traditional sources of media utilize “viral” social media recordings which reinforce stereotypical portrayals of crime and criminals in society.

WHITE CALLER CRIME: RACIALIZED POLICE COMMUNICATION AND EXISTING WHILE BLACK Chan Tov McNamarah Over the past year, reports to the police about Black persons engaged in innocuous behaviors have bombarded the American consciousness. What do we make of them? And, equally important, what are the consequences of such reports? This Article is the first to argue that the recent spike in calls to the police against Black persons who are simply existing must be understood as a systematic phenomenon which it dubs racialized police communication. The label captures two related practices. First, racially motivated police reporting—calls, complaints, or reports made when Black persons are engaged in behavior that would not have been read as suspicious, or otherwise worthy of police involvement had they been White.

Since the SCMS conference was last here twelve years ago, the Society has seen both membership and the conference itself increase dramatically in size. This year in Atlanta we have twice the number of panels as we had in 2004. Our growth confirms the vitality of cinema and media studies, as well as its continuing importance to the academy internationally and to our increasingly globalized societies. I know from previewing the program that it boasts an impressive display of the best, most stimulating work presently being done in our field, which is at once singular in its focus on visual and digital media and yet quite diverse in its scope, intellectual interests and goals, and methodologies. Given the dazzling assortment of panels on tap for the five days of our conference, I hope you will find this year’s selection as exciting and stimulating as in years past. And as dizzying, perhaps, as you try to decide where to go next. To assist you in navigating the program we have arranged for everyone to have access to the Grupio app. Among other features, it allows you to view the entire schedule and then to create your own calendars based on the sessions you want to attend.

    Recording Voice and the Racial Politics of American Experimental Poetry

    Copyright by Jeffrey Kyle Boruszak 2018 The Dissertation Committee for Jeffrey Kyle Boruszak Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Sound Off!: Recording Voice and the Racial Politics of American Experimental Poetry Committee: Lisa Moore, Co-Supervisor Chad Bennett, Co-Supervisor Brian Bremen Tanya Clement Meta DuEwa Jones Sound Off!: Recording Voice and the Racial Politics of American Experimental Poetry by Jeffrey Kyle Boruszak Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2018 Acknowledgements The prefix “ac-” in the word “acknowledgement” derives from the Latin preposition “ad,” meaning “to” or “towards.” It implies a vector, a spatial directionality that mirrors the physical properties of sound and the electric mechanisms in recording devices that make signal processing possible. Sound, listening, and knowledge are never solo performances, and this project was no exception. As I reflect on the countless people, who either in their direct or indirect contributions made this dissertation possible, I am prepared to fail in the impossible task I now commence: naming them all. I am incredible fortunate to be the recipient of such overwhelmingly gracious support from so many people, without whom I could never have made it this far. My gratitude towards my parents, Amy and Allan, will never be enough. I don’t think they ever really understood why I got into this poetry “business” to begin with, but they never tried to sway me from the course.

Baker III*** With its tremendous popularity among Millennials and Generation Z, esports represents one of the fastest growing segments of the U.S. sports and entertainment market. It is the source of massive amounts of venture capital inflow, unprecedented marketing and media dollars, and altogether new forms of social networks and fan engagement. Nevertheless, the indus- try of esports is still in its infancy and faces legal challenges that have not yet been fully studied by either legal academics or practitioners.
