  • Download 2017 Jazz Festival Program
    February 23-25, 2017 Grounded in Tradition. Breaking New Ground. www.uidaho.edu/jazzfest hampjazz ii University of Idaho GENERAL INFORMATION GENERAL Welcome TO THE FESTIVAL AT THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO! elcome to 50 years of Vandal tradition – a half century of excellence at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival. This signature Vandal event is where key aspects of our mission – teaching, learning and exploration, and community engagement – truly take Wcenter stage. As we gather for a celebration of our festival’s history and its bright future, effectively captured in the “Grounded in Tradition. Breaking New Ground.” theme, we celebrate our students, our teachers both from UI and visiting, and our performers. Our 50th anniversary sees the festival with some changes, intended to refocus and reenergize this great event. For 2017 the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival returned to our Lionel Hampton School of Music within the College of Letters, Arts and Social Sciences. I thank our School of Music for the way they’ve seamlessly handled this transition intended to improve the overall event experience for students, faculty and attendees. Their behind-the-scenes management is something many attendees may not notice, but will benefit from through a memorable experience. This year we have three days and nights of exciting music education and concerts, with all of it taking place right on campus. Another noticeable change is a shift in the student experience: The festival now offers a competitive track option for student performers. Adjudicators will hand-select soloists and combos from our K-12 participant ranks to perform on the main stage at each evening’s concert, as they did when Lionel performed here.

  • Feminism for Sale: Commodity Feminism, Femininity, and Subjectivity
    FEMINISM FOR SALE: COMMODITY FEMINISM, FEMININITY, AND SUBJECTIVITY Julie Elizabeth Dowsett A Dissertation Submitted to The Faculty of Graduate Studies In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Political Science York University Toronto, Ontario June 2014 © Julie Elizabeth Dowsett, 2014 ABSTRACT Today it is commonplace for the female consumer to be targeted using appropriated feminist discourses. This dissertation theorizes commodity feminism, a play on Marx’s conception of commodity fetishism, at the intersections of Marx/Marxism, feminist theory, and Freud/Freudianism. My method involves exploring a series of relationships through reading canonical and contemporary works of political theory and feminist theory. These relationships build upon one another in each chapter: the first relationship is between women and commodities, and to this relationship I add femininity, social control, and subject formation in sequence. In thinking through these relationships, I critique a variety of trade and scholarly marketing publications and marketing campaigns. I argue that the theory of commodity feminism provides a crucial, and as of yet unearthed, understanding of the contemporary relationship between women and commodities. I define commodity feminism as the commodification of feminist critique and praxis. In its cultural sense, commodity feminism is the broad phenomenon in which women are encouraged to express their empowerment by purchasing commodities. The politics of commodity feminism are both liberal and conservative. Commodity feminism is liberal in that it offers a type of resolution (however commodified) to the feminism/femininity tension and endorses liberal feminist politics of independence and self-determination. However, I argue that the view of society underpinning commodity feminism is conservative in that the masses are understood to be a problem in need of control.

  • Online Media and the Emergence of Young Vietnamese Citizens As Environmental Activists
    Online Media and the Emergence of Young Vietnamese Citizens as Environmental Activists A Case Study of the ‘Save Son Doong’ Movement By Ly Thi-Cam Nguyen A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of International Communication Unitec Institution of Technology, New Zealand, 2017 ABSTRACT Various youth initiated grassroots environmental campaigns have emerged within Vietnam’s complicated political and media context over the past few years. This raises questions regarding how Vietnamese youth have taken advantage of the Internet to protect the environment. Guided by the research question “How do young Vietnamese citizens use online media for environmental activism?” and using the ‘Save Son Doong’ movement as the case study, this research evaluates the effort of the ‘Save Son Doong’ activists in using online media to run the movement. This research also generally explores the opportunities and challenges for grassroots groups to run environmental movements in the Vietnamese context. In-depth individual interviews and a focus group with the ‘Save Son Doong’ activists were employed as the main data collection methods. Content mapping and content analysis were also applied in order to produce a comprehensive assessment of the movement activities. Research findings indicate that young, highly educated and tech savvy activists have been very diligent in taking advantage of the Internet to circumvent the state-controlled mainstream media system and lack of resources to run the ‘Save Son Doong’ movement. By employing online media to organize advocacy activities (petitioning, media advocacy and obtaining endorsement from well-known people), social mobilization activities (building coalition and mobilizing resources) and public will campaigns, they succeeded in raising public awareness, provoking public discourse about the issue, stimulating the mainstream media into massively covering the story and pressuring the decision makers into responding to the matter.
