Even though Jen, for example, has a full time job. makes car payments, and is. in Puckett, Kristen Schmidt general, very responsible, she still does not feel like a grown-up. Maybe it's that neither of us have children or own major appliances or have decided to "settle down." Maybe it's that we LAYOUT & DESIGN don't participate in the consumerism and consumption of our parents' generation. Maybe it's Jen Angel • Jason Kucsma that being grown up seems to go hand in hand with compromise, resentment, and we hate to say it — conservatism. DEVELOPMENT There is power in youth. We fight, every day, to retain ambition and optimism. This helps Joshua Breitbart us to create and maintain a worldview that change can and will happen. When we grow up and gain more experience and knowledge about the world — instead of being overwhelmed, this COVER: knowledge should fuel our struggles.

    The Gainesville Iguana September 2012 Vol. 26, Issue 9 Security Overkill in Tampa at RNC Protesters at the Republican National Convention in Tampa on Aug. 27-30 were met by a militarized city. Chants addressed issues head-on: “This is what $50 million dollars looks like!”* and “Take off that riot gear, there ain’t no riot here!” Protests were peaceful and diminished in size by a hurricane threat that canceled buses from around the country. Despite the police's overwhelming numbers and equipment, relations were largely cordial; one activist reported cops clapping along as marchers sang “Solidarity Forever.” Participants who attended the protests will give a report-back at the Civic Media Cen- ter on Wednesday, Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. Photo courtesy of Rob Shaw. * $50 million is the price tag for this authoritarian overkill, with another $50 million spent for the Democratic Convention in Charlotte Sept. 4-6.

  • University of Florida Thesis Or Dissertation Formatting
    THIS COULD ONLY BE HAPPENING HERE: PLACE AND IDENTITY IN GAINESVILLE’S ZINE COMMUNITY By FIONA E STEWART-TAYLOR A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2019 © 2019 Fiona E. Stewart-Taylor To the Civic Media Center and all the people in it ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I thank, first, my committee, Dr. Margaret Galvan and Dr. Anastasia Ulanowicz. Dr. Galvan has been a critical reader, engaged teacher, and generous with her expertise, feedback, reading lists, and time. This thesis has very much developed out of discussions with her about the state of the field, the interventions possible, and her many insights into how and why to write about zines in an academic context have guided and shaped this project from the start. Dr. Ulanowicz is also a generous listener and a valuable reader, and her willingness to enter this committee at a late stage in the project was deeply kind. I would also like to thank Milo and Chris at the Queer Zine Archive Project for an incredible residency during which, reading Minneapolis zines reviewing drag revues, I began to articulate some of my ideas about the importance of zines to build community in physical space, zines as living interventions into community as well as archival memory. Chris and Milo were unfailingly welcoming, friendly, and generous with their time, expertise, and long memories, as well as their vegan sloppy joes. QZAP remains an inspiration for my own work with the Civic Media Center.

  • Mediated Communication, Democracy & the Public Sphere
    MEDIATED COMMUNICATION, DEMOCRACY & THE PUBLIC SPHERE: CRITICAL MEDIA CONSCIOUSNESS WITHIN PROGRESSIVE SOCIAL MOVEMENTS by TODD FRALEY (Under the Direction of Elizabeth Lester Roushanzamir) ABSTRACT This project explicates the intersections of critical media consciousness, progressive social movements, and democracy, by analyzing the media strategies of the Athens Independent Media Center and the Industrial Areas Foundation. Individually, the definitions of communication, media, and democracy are often taken for granted. Collectively they provide the baseline for the argument that knowledgeable and engaged citizens are prerequisites for democratic social formations. Without an accessible egalitarian public sphere strong participatory democracy withers. Relying on participant observation, archival analysis, and borrowing cultural anthropology’s methods of defamiliarization and cross-cultural juxtaposition, this thesis offers an elaboration of ideas concerning the fundamental components for a critical media consciousness. Furthermore, it provides support for the contention that the democratic process necessitates democratic communications structures and practices that increase citizen participation through the building of strong, equitable, and sustainable social relations among diverse peoples. Strong media, created and sustained by critical media consciousness, expands that democratic potential of communication technologies as citizens equally participate in the search for the common good. INDEX WORDS: Strong democracy, critical media

  • Schaumparty Für Gaza
    # 2011/30 dschungel https://jungle.world/artikel/2011/30/schaumparty-fuer-gaza Über die Kosmetikfirma Lush und einen antiisraelischen Popsong Schaumparty für Gaza Von Udo Wolter »Freedom for Palestine« fordert ein britischer Popsong, der Stimmung gegen die Politik Israels machen will. Was haben Desmond Tutu, Alice Walker, Coldplay, Roger Waters, Ken Loach, Julie Christie, Massive Attack, Benjamin Zephaniah und die Kosmetikfirma Lush gemeinsam?« wurde in einem Online-Artikel der Mediengruppe al-Arabiya aus Dubai Ende Juni gefragt. Eigentlich ahnt man es schon, denn einige der Genannten sind bereits durch ihre Unterstützung der Gaza-Flottille oder durch antiisraelische Boykottaufrufe aufgefallen. Im aktuellen Fall geht es darum, dass sie den Anfang Juli in Großbritannien vorgestellten Song »Freedom for Palestine« bewerben, der von al-Arabiya ­gelobt wird. Aber was bitte hat die Kosmetikfirma Lush in diesem Kreis zu suchen? Die auch in Deutschland mit zahlreichen Filialen vertretene internationale Kette »Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics« ist nicht irgendeine Kosmetikfirma. Ihre Badekugeln, Shampoos, Bodylotions und Seifen sollen weitgehend vegan und aus natürlichen Inhaltsstoffen produziert werden. Das Unternehmen gibt sich ökologisch und politically correct und umwirbt mit dem Versprechen des »Handgemachten« und Authentischen sowie mit der Beteiligung an »ethischen« Kampagnen eine ökologiebewusste, globalisierungskritische und links fühlen­de Klientel. Von der durch Gewerkschaften und Beschäftigte vorgebrachten Kritik an den Arbeitsbedingungen im Unternehmen ließ sich die Kundschaft bisher allerdings nicht abschrecken. So berichtete die Financial Times Deutschschland über den vom Unternehmen ausgerufenen »Go naked Day«, an dem die Beschäftigten aufgefordert wurden, an einer Demonstration gegen Verpackungsmüll in München teilzunehmen. Lediglich mit einer Schürze bekleidet, marschierten die Mitarbeiter im Auftrag von Lush durch die Straßen.
