    Racism in Europe: a Challenge for Democracy?

    Chapter Two Racism in Europe: A Challenge for Democracy? Leila Hadj-Abdou Democracy is a form of government, not a steambath of popular feelings. —Ralf Dahrendorf1 The Anti-Racist Founding Myth of Europe and the Perseverance of Racism In recent decades the Shoah has become a central reference point for a common European identity. Especially in the 1990s, after the end of the Cold War, the heritage of the Nazi past and the involvement of many European countries in the exploitation and extermination of Jews gained a special role in the public discourse of the newly unified Europe.2 The commemoration of the Shoah is not only a source of symbolic legitimacy, but it also suggests a commitment to political val- ues such as the rejection of racism, antisemitism, and xenophobia3. In 2007, denial of the Shoah became a punishable crime across the Euro- pean Union.4 However, despite the relevance of this founding myth it would be misleading to believe that it implies a clear cut rupture with Europe’s racist past, and the end of exclusionary practices. On the contrary, several factors indicate that racism continues to be a feature of contemporary Europe. For instance, in a publication released by the civil society organization European Network Against Racism (ENAR) in 2015, it was revealed that in 2013 alone there were 47,210 racist crimes reported across the European Union. The organization stressed that this is only the tip of the iceberg as many crimes go unre- 1. Margaret Canovan, “Trust the People! Populism and the Two Faces of Democracy,” Political Studies, vol.

    A Multimodal Discourse Analysis Exploring How Katie Hopkins Asserts Power Over Katie Waissel in Their Debate on the Television Programme ‘This Morning’

    13 Trent Notes on Linguistics, VOL 2. 2019 A multimodal discourse analysis exploring how Katie Hopkins asserts power over Katie Waissel in their debate on the television programme ‘This Morning’ Charlotte-Rose Kennedy PhD student in Linguistics Nottingham Trent University Through the employment of multimodal interaction analysis (Norris, 2004), this study seeks to show how Katie Hopkins asserts power over her opponent Katie Waissel on a televised interview on This Morning, through features of non-verbal communication such as interruption and floor holding devices, and posture and gesture. The results of my analysis show that Katie Hopkins dominates Katie Waissel through face-threatening acts in the forms of beat gesture, expansive posture, competitive interruptions and floor holding devices. 1. Introduction and literature review Katie Hopkins is a self-nominated spokesperson for the people, who helps shape social views through being an ‘outspoken columnist’, ‘controversial TV personality’ and a ‘motormouth’ (Baker, 2015; Rutter, 2016). Many people find Hopkins to be a ‘vile Tory troll’ (Bussey, 2015) causing ‘offence on an almost daily basis on her twitter account’ due to her ‘shocking and often insulting views’ on topics such as immigration, mental illness, and even ginger babies (Baker, 2015). This project seeks to explore how Katie Hopkins asserts power over Katie Waissel in their debate on the television programme ‘This Morning’ through both verbal and non-verbal communication. I conduct a multimodal discourse analysis of the debate between Katie Hopkins and Katie Waissel (a heavily tattooed former X Factor contestant), on the topic of whether tattooed celebrities are good role models for children.

    Dimensions of US-Cuba Relations 1965-1975 By

    WHEN FEMINISM MEETS INTERNATIONALISM: Dimensions of U.S.-Cuba Relations 1965-1975 By: Pamela Neumann M.A. Candidate, Latin American Studies (University of Texas at Austin) Submitted for ILASSA Conference XXX: February 4-6, 2010 Introduction The histories of the United States and Cuba have been inextricably linked by geographical proximity, a tumultuous cercanía that over the last two centuries has had profound political, economic, and social repercussions. There is a natural scholarly tendency to examine the dynamics between these countries in terms of geopolitical strategic interests, economic trade relationships, or ideological conflict, the value of which certainly cannot be ignored. Nevertheless, the complexity of U.S.-Cuban relations cannot be fully understood apart from a wider engagement with the interactions that have taken place between the two countries outside the purview of government policy. Throughout their respective histories, interactions involving ordinary citizens from diverse backgrounds have led to enriching mutual understanding even during periods of extreme political crisis and hostility between Cuba and the United States. In addition to their impact at the individual and cultural level, these encounters have also sometimes contributed to shifts within social movements and spurred new forms of international activism. One period that exemplifies both of the aforementioned effects of citizen-level interactions came following the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in 1959. In the context of the Cold War, the resulting social and economic changes in Cuba and its growing relationship with the Soviet Union heightened the United States’ concerns about the new Castro regime, leading to a rapid escalation of tensions and a suspension of formal diplomatic relations between the two Neumann 2 countries in 1960.1 However, this break in official government relations hardly signaled an end to the interactions that would occur between citizens from the two countries over the coming decades.

  • The Trolling of Gina Miller

    The Trolling of Gina Miller

    The remoaner queen under attack: the trolling of Gina Miller What happens when a private individual takes on a very public cause? Amy Binns and John Mair examine how the case of Gina Miller demonstrates how fast social media can whip up a storm of abuse Gina Miller shot to fame after taking the British government to court for attempting to force through Article 50, the mechanism, which started the Brexit process. It was a case that, like the 2016 Referendum itself, polarised Britain. While Leavers were outraged that their vote to exit the EU was not the final word, Remainers watched with bated breath in hope that their disaster could turn to triumph. In the middle was the previously unknown financier Gina Miller. Articulate, photogenic and unafraid to comment on a controversial issue, she might have been made for the media. Widespread coverage led to her becoming a hate figure online, with two men arrested for making threats to kill her. In her own words, in her book Rise (Miller, 2018), she outlines the hate her campaign had generated: “Over the past two years I’ve been the target of extreme bullying and racist abuse. Ever since I took the UK government to court for attempting to force through Article 50, the mechanism for starting Brexit which would have led to the nation leaving the European union without Parliamentary consent, I live in fear of attacks. “I receive anonymous death threats almost every day. Strangers have informed me graphically that they want to gang rape me and slit the throats of my children, how the colour of my skin means I am nothing more than an ape, a whore, a piece of shit that deserves to be trodden into the gutter.” This study analyses 18,036 tweets, which include the username @thatginamiller, from October 1, 2016 to February 27, 2017, from just before the opening of her High Court case to beyond the Supreme Court ruling on January 26 .
