Editorial cartoons by The Journal News’ Matt Davies, which covered a variety of topics, including sever- al about the war, were dubbed “piercing” by the board. And The Dallas Morning News’ team of David Leeson and Cheryl Diaz Meyer, who won the breaking news photography award, were cited for their “eloquent pho- tographs depicting both the vio- lence and poignancy of the war with Iraq.” Other winning entries tackled a wide array of subjects, from The Wall Street Journal’s explanatory reporting on brain aneurysms to The New York Times’ scrutiny of safety violations in American fac- tories.

  • The Everyday Artefacts of World Politics: Why Graphic Novels, Textiles and Internet Memes Matter
    The everyday artefacts of world politics: why graphic novels, textiles and internet memes matter in world politics Caitlin Hamilton A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Social Sciences Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences December 2016 3 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Hamilton First name: Caitlin Other name/s: n/a Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Social Sciences Faculty: Arts and Social Sciences Title: The everyday artefacts of world politics: why graphic novels, textiles and internet memes matter in world politics Abstract World politics has conventionally been a realm of ideas, instead of things. While ideas matter, the paucity of research into the artefacts of world politics and particularly the everyday artefacts of world politics represents a gap in how we know the world. By developing a form of artefact analysis specifically designed to study the things of world politics, I examine what three types of everyday artefacts – graphic novels, textiles and internet memes – can tell us about world politics. Graphic novels, for example, show how conflict and the everyday co-exist in a curious mash-up of banality and violence; they also complicate narratives of world politics with which we may be more familiar, highlight the fundamental importance that everyday makers play in the lived experience of world politics, and they have significant parallels with the research processes involved in producing scholarship. Textiles are a vehicle for everyday makers to explore and express their ethnic and national identities and can function as a form of documentation.
