  • Burundian Refugees in Western Tanzania, It Can Be Expected That Such Activities Would Take Place
    BURUNDIAN REFUGEES IN TANZANIA: The Key Factor to the Burundi Peace Process ICG Central Africa Report N° 12 30 November 1999 PROLOGUE The following report was originally issued by the International Crisis Group (ICG) as an internal paper and distributed on a restricted basis in February 1999. It incorporates the results of field research conducted by an ICG analyst in and around the refugee camps of western Tanzania during the last three months of 1998. While the situation in Central Africa has evolved since the report was first issued, we believe that the main thrust of the analysis presented remains as valid today as ever. Indeed, recent events, including the killing of UN workers in Burundi and the deteriorating security situation there, only underscore the need for greater attention to be devoted to addressing the region’s unsolved refugee problem. With this in mind, we have decided to reissue the report and give it a wider circulation, in the hope that the information and arguments that follow will help raise awareness of this important problem and stimulate debate on the best way forward.

  • NAT TURNER's REVOLT: REBELLION and RESPONSE in SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY, VIRGINIA by PATRICK H. BREEN (Under the Direction of Emory
    NAT TURNER’S REVOLT: REBELLION AND RESPONSE IN SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY, VIRGINIA by PATRICK H. BREEN (Under the Direction of Emory M. Thomas) ABSTRACT In 1831, Nat Turner led a revolt in Southampton County, Virginia. The revolt itself lasted little more than a day before it was suppressed by whites from the area. Many people died during the revolt, including the largest number of white casualties in any single slave revolt in the history of the United States. After the revolt was suppressed, Nat Turner himself remained at-large for more than two months. When he was captured, Nat Turner was interviewed by whites and this confession was eventually published by a local lawyer, Thomas R. Gray. Because of the number of whites killed and the remarkable nature of the Confessions, the revolt has remained the most prominent revolt in American history. Despite the prominence of the revolt, no full length critical history of the revolt has been written since 1937. This dissertation presents a new history of the revolt, paying careful attention to the dynamic of the revolt itself and what the revolt suggests about authority and power in Southampton County. The revolt was a challenge to the power of the slaveholders, but the crisis that ensued revealed many other deep divisions within Southampton’s society. Rebels who challenged white authority did not win universal support from the local slaves, suggesting that disagreements within the black community existed about how they should respond to the oppression of slavery. At the same time, the crisis following the rebellion revealed divisions within white society.

In response, XL remains defensive, while we are seeing some xxxx positive indications further at the lower end, and thus maintain our overweight sector call. We introduce our telco scorecard to track price effects and network changes, with TLKM and EXCL having the most network leverage. A different ballgame with By.U. Growth in traffic vols continue to be sizeable as TSEL and XL Axiata reported traffic growth of ~+39%/38%yoy respectively, and Indosat at about +61%yoy during the festive period in Dec-Jan according to news reports. TSEL’s core data offerings have not been altered since 4Q19 as TSEL would want to evaluate the traction effects from “OMG!” and the new product line “By.U”. While OMG! does enrich TSEL’s portfolio with SoSMed and content, By.U by contrast seeks to get more traffic with effective GB yields to levels below Rp4,300. By.U is designed to be set apart from TSEL’s branding to pursue millennials and student groups. While there is time to tweak prices further before the next Lebaran season in 2020, By.U is potentially disruptive EXCL relative to JCI Index putting pressure on contenders’ value chains. xxxx XL rewards existing users with discounts. Our channel check reveals that XL itself offered discounts in the 8-13% range on flagship products for existing users, while a new XL prepaid user can choose a service only based on nominal prices.

Using professional wrestling as the context, this research paper will endeavor to understand the underlying conscious and subconscious biases and stereotypes that one might harbour with respect to discourses of gender and sexuality. Keywords: sexuality, methodology, stereotype Background studies. He identifies these as problems of content, dispersal, While the discussion on methods is central to humanities ephemerality, access, discovery, ethics, production, the plurality of and social sciences, media studies has struggled and reconfigured audiences and generalizability. itself over the last century to accommodate a mix of methodologies The above discussion problematizes the importance of and also develop some exclusive ones. The potential of a method methodological conflicts in the domain of media research. As is dependent on the way in which it connects the researcher to the Merrin (2006) states, Media studies has a range of research question. However in the case of media studies, this favouredmethodologies which it uses.

Kellner, Co-Chair This dissertation comprises three case studies of audience participation in media, addressing in turn Web 2.0, fan culture, and video games. The overarching theoretical framework highlights the dynamics between participation ‘from above’ and ‘from below,’ emphasizing the fact that participation is managed, controlled, and commodified on the one hand, and holds the potential for autonomy, creativity, and resistance on the other. This framework represents a synthesis of existing approaches to the study of audiences, bridging accounts of ‘participatory culture’ and ‘audience autonomy’ with those emphasizing the ‘new spirit of capitalism’ and the ‘social factory.’ The first constituent chapter is a study of the ideology and practice of Web 2.0 platforms, centering on a thematic analysis of managerial literature that finds such platforms to be extensions of what Boltanski and Chiapello term the ‘new,’ ‘participatory’ spirit of capitalism.
