  • An Analysis of the Presidency of Jimmy Carter
    An Analysis of the Presidency of Jimmy Carter Simona Škařupová Bachelor's thesis 2021 ABSTRAKT Tato bakalářská práce analyzuje působení Jimmyho Cartera v roli 39. prezidenta Spojených států od roku 1977 do roku 1981. Když na začátku 70. let vyšly najevo nelegální aktivity a nečestnost bývalého prezidenta Richarda Nixona, byl Jimmy Carter Američany vnímán jako správná volba. Ačkoliv si Prezident Ford vedl dobře, stal se obětí tzv. [pendulum] efektu, který je často spojován se střídáním dvou politických stran. Amerika vyžadovala změnu a tu, evangelík z Jihu a Washingtonský outsider, Jimmy Carter představoval. Neexistovalo však nic, co by Cartera ochránilo před bouřlivými událostmi z konce 70. let. Tato práce hodnotí úspěchy a neúspěchy Carterové prezidentury a zjišťuje, proč nebyl znovuzvolen. Ačkoli jeho prezidentura byla silně kritizována a do značné míry považována za neefektivní, Jimmy Carter by měl být respektován za to, že se vždy snažil ze špatné situace vytěžit maximum. Klíčová slova: 70. léta, Dohody z Camp Davidu, Gerald Ford, Iránská krize rukojmí, Jimmy Carter, Panamský průplav, [pendulum] efekt, prezident, Ronald Reagan, Spojené státy ABSTRACT This bachelor's thesis analyzes Jimmy Carter's role as the 39th president of the United States from 1977 to 1981. When the illegal activities and dishonesty of former President Richard Nixon became clear in the early 1970s, Jimmy Carter began to appeal to Americans as a virtuous alternative. President Ford did well enough, but he became a victim of the pendulum effect often associated with a two-party system. America desired a change, and Carter, an evangelical southerner and Washington outsider, was it. Nothing, however, could protect Carter from the turbulent events of the late-1970s, which undermined his presidency and led to him being the first consecutive one-term president.

  • Four Years to Forever: One-Term Presidents
    FOUR YEARS TO FOREVER: ONE-TERM PRESIDENTS AND THE RHETORICAL POWER OF PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARIES by MADISON GREEN JESSY J. OHL, COMMITTEE CHAIR MEREDITH M. BAGLEY CYNTHIA C. PEACOCK COLIN RAFFERTY A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Communication Studies in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2020 Copyright Madison Elizabeth Green 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Presidential libraries are sophisticated sites for public memory designed to affirm democratic values, convince audiences of each president’s accomplishments, and enshrine a leader’s legacy in a favorable light for future generations. Although these memory places are consequential for every president, they are pivotal for those only granted one term in office. This study explores the ways that the libraries of Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and George H.W. Bush rhetorically elevate the respective presidents in public memory. This study blends traditional narrative criticism with calls for ‘field rhetoric’ to examine how the three respective libraries utilize space, place, and verbal discourse in order to narrate the most compelling case for why each president deserves praise and admiration in public memory. I demonstrate that each library invests in different persuasive strategies: 1.) The Ford Library presents him as a victim of circumstance by focusing on emotional appeals to pity and nostalgia, 2.) The Carter Library excuses his presidential missteps by emphasizing his post-presidential achievements, and 3.) The Bush Library lauds his place as the patriarch of a political dynasty created using the American dream myth.
