Gold* INTRODUCTION When a sheriff arrests a postal employee for murder, does the arrest violate a law against obstructing the passage of the mail?' Or, suppose that a statute makes it illegal to "draw blood" in the streets. Do its terms apply to a doctor who performs emergency surgery in the street?2 What of a prisoner who breaks out of prison because the building is on fire? Does his flight violate a law against prison escapes? 3 Many would say that these laws should not be taken literally. In order to avoid odd results, however, courts sometimes have to rewrite a statute's words. For example, the Ninth Circuit recently concluded, while interpreting the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005, that the word "less" actually means "more. ' 4 Other courts have found that the word "of' means "or,"5 and the word "unlawful" means "lawful." 6 Should judges ever have the power to revise unambiguous statutes? Textualists generally say no to this question, and yet they recognize * Assitant Professor, DePaul University College of Law.

He's got his beautiful family right here. How did Dad do? Was he pretty good? Where—yes, there he is. He did good? I thought he did great. It is good to be in East Lansing. It's good to be with all of you here today. I'm here because I've heard about all the great things that you're doing. And I want to thank Mayor Triplett and President Simon for hosting us. I am also here to do some scouting on my brackets. [Laughter] I just talked to Coach Izzo; Spartans are looking pretty good. I know things were a little wild for a while, had some injuries. But the truth is that Coach Izzo, he always paces so that you peak right at the tournament. [Applause] That's a fact. Then I got a chance to meet Mark Dantonio. All right.

Morris Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2006 The thesis of Douglas S. Morris was reviewed and approved* by the following: Patrick Shannon Professor of Education Thesis Advisor Chair of Committee Coordinator of Graduate Studies Jacqueline Edmondson Associate Professor of Education Paul Youngquist Professor of English Jeanne Hall Associate Professor of Communications *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ABSTRACT The following study examines the relationship between militarized Hollywood cinema, the US culture of militarism, the systemic nature of US aggression, and the possibilities for creating a pedagogy of hope that will work to overcome militarism’s abominations. By recognizing film as a powerful form of public pedagogy that shapes beliefs, attitudes, and values, constructs identities and identifications, and directs allegiances and actions (or inactions), the study investigates ways in which Hollywood films work to convey and inculcate circumscribed notions of history through regularized patterns of film images and narratives in pursuit of the indirect or direct goal of distracting public attention, along with conditioning the public mind, engineering public consent, and mobilizing public support for a US culture of militarism dedicated to aggression in the pursuit of global domination. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1.
