    ENGLISH 2810: Television as Literature (v. 1.0) 9:00 – 10:15 T/Th | EH 229 Dr. Scott Rogers | [email protected] | EH 448 http://faculty.weber.edu/srogers The Course The average American watches about 5 hours of television a day. We are told that this is bad. We are told that television is bad for us, that it is bad for our families, and that it is wasting our time. But not all television is that way. Some television shows have what we might call “literary pretensions.” Shows such as Twin Peaks, Homicide: Life on the Street, The Wire, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Veronica Mars, Battlestar Galactica, and LOST have been both critically acclaimed and the subject of much academic study. In this course, we shall examine a select few of these shows, watching complete seasons as if they were self-contained literary texts. In other words, in this course, you will watch TV and get credit for it. You will also learn to view television in an active and critical fashion, paying attention to the standard literary techniques (e.g. character, theme, symbol, plot) as well as televisual issues such as lighting, music, and camerawork. Texts Students will be expected to own, or have access to, the following: Firefly ($18 on amazon.com; free on hulu.com) and Serenity ($4 used on amazon.com) LOST season one ($25 on amazon.com; free on hulu.com or abc.com) Battlestar Galactica season one ($30 on amazon.com) It is in your best interest to buy or borrow these, if only to make it easier for you to go back and re-watch episodes for your assignments.

I am grateful for all the encouragement, help and ideas he gave me throughout the writing. He was the one who helped me to figure out the subject of my work which I am especially thankful for as it has been such a pleasure working on it! Secondly, I want to thank my boyfriend Patrick who shared enthusiasm for my subject, inspired me, and always encouraged me to keep up even when my mood was down. Also my friend Sarah who gave me a feedback on my thesis was a very big help and I am grateful. A special thank you goes to my parents who always believed in me and supported me. Thanks to all the teachers and professors who provided me with the necessary baggage of knowledge which I will now proudly carry through life. iii Foreword In my previous research paper I wrote about film discourse, thus, this time I wanted to continue with it but have something new, some kind of challenge which would interest me. After a conversation with my thesis guide, Professor Slembrouck, we decided to stick on to film discourse but to expand it.

    VALLEY OF CAGED IMMIGRANTS: PUNISHMENT, PROTEST, AND THE RISE OF THE PORT ISABEL DETENTION CENTER1 DOI: https://doi.org/10.25058/20112742.n33.09 Jennifer Cullison2 Orcid ID: orcid.org/0000-0002-5267-1143 University of Nevada, USA [email protected] How to cite this article: Cullison, J. (2020). Valley of Caged Immigrants: Punishment, Protest, and the Rise of the Port Isabel Detention Center. Tabula Rasa, 33, 1-41. DOI: https://doi.org/10.25058/20112742.n33.09 Received: June 23, 2018 Accepted: August 27, 2018 Abstract: Despite popular understanding of immigrant detention in the US as effectively nonexistent before the 1980s, in reality the practice grew significantly over the early postwar era and especially in Texas’s Rio Grande Valley (RGV). Immigrant detention in the RGV became vital in the expanding network of the INS, other federal agencies, and for-profit institutions called here the Border Industrial Complex. Indeed, beginning in 1961 with its first full-fledged, permanent immigrant detention center, the Port Isabel Detention Center (PIDC), South Texas became a major piece of the Border Industrial Complex in its work to control, immobilize, and banish border crossers. Over the early postwar period, immigrant caging (or immigrant detention and immigrant incarceration based on immigration legal code) in the RGV transitioned from a temporary, situational response to a perpetual crisis. With growing Congressional support for immigration enforcement, by the 1970s, not only the INS, but also the US Marshals Service and the US Bureau of Prisons had greater numbers of people caged per immigration legal code. 1 This article is a product of a dissertation research project on the expansion of immigrant detention in the US, titled “The Growth of Immigrant Caging in Postwar America: National Immigration Policy Choices, Regional Shifts Toward Greater Carceral Control, and Continuing Legal Resistance in the U.S.

  • “Tabula Rasa” on Structural Changes in Haiti
    SCHOLEDGE International Journal of Published by: SCHOLEDGE Publishing Business Policy & Governance www.theSCHOLEDGE.org ISSN 2394-3351, Vol.06, Issue 8 (2019) Email: [email protected] Pg 78-95. ©Publisher Paper URL: link.thescholedge.org/1107 Understanding the Perplexity of “Tabula Rasa” on Structural Changes in Haiti Dr. Oris Guillaume Professor of Business and Management Georgia Highlands College, University System of Georgia, United States. Dr. Christophe Providence Professor and Researcher, University Quisqueya, Haiti. Abstract The aim of this qualitative study was to understand the perplexity of “Tabula rasa” on structural changes in Haiti. Tabula rasa thus implies that individual human beings are born “blank” (with no built-in mental content) and that their identity is defined entirely by their experiences and sensory perceptions of the outside world. In general terms, the contention that we start life literally “from scratch” can be said to imply a one-sided emphasis on empiricism over idealism. This study uses the theory of Lockean and the model of Leontief’s model of 1968. This study revealed that tabula rasa has been used with an emotional view for years in Haiti with no success. We maintain in this paper that the change of the system of Territorial Planning (Tabula Rasa technique), long-awaited by the Haitian population, requires new mechanisms of financing of public actions. The logic of budget allocation in relation to established priorities requires clearly defined budgetary principles to promote the imbrications territorial. We conclude by suggesting that the concept of organizational fields may be useful in understanding the structural change in Haiti because it has been forever a political playground of “no substance*a tabula rasa.” Keywords: Tabula rasa, Social Changes, Haiti, System, Governance, Collectivity Territorial Introduction The recent history of Haiti is marked by political instability and the mandate of the newest regime is no exception.
