  • AMERICAN INFERNO by PATRICK DENKER
    AMERICAN INFERNO by PATRICK DENKER (Under the Direction of Reginald McKnight) ABSTRACT American Inferno, a novel, is a loose transposition of Dante‟s Inferno into a contemporary American setting. Its chapters (or “circles”) correspond to Dante‟s nine circles of Hell: 1) Limbo, 2) Lust, 3) Gluttony, 4) Hoarding & Wasting, 5) Wrath, 6) Heresy, 7) Violence, 8) Fraud and 9) Treachery. The novel‟s Prologue — Circle 0 — corresponds to the events that occur, in the Inferno, prior to Dante‟s and Virgil‟s entrance into Hell proper. The novel is a contemporary American moral inquiry, not a medieval Florentine one: thus it is sometimes in harmony with and sometimes a critique of Dante‟s moral system. Also, like the Inferno, it is not an investigation just of its characters‟ personal moral struggles, but also of the historical sins of its nation: for Dante, the nascent Italian state; for us, the United States. Thus the novel follows the life story of its principal character as he progresses from menial to mortal sins while simultaneously considering American history from America‟s early Puritan foundations in the Northeast (Chapters 1-4) through slavery, civil war and manifest destiny (Chapters 5-7) to its ultimate expression in the high-technology West-Coast entertainment industry (Chapters 8-9).

I use a genealogical approach to address how tensions and contradictions articulated by unmanning emerge, using the development, operation and failure of unmanned systems to complicate divisions between human and nonhuman; “us” and the enemy; immersion and distance; military and industry; and above and below. I identify two phases in the development of remote controlled and unmanned aircraft in the United States: targeting and reconnaissance.

  • Transforming the Transformed
    S. Carstens, Int. J. of Herit. Archit., Vol. 1, No. 2 (2017) 247–255 TRANSFORMING THE TRANSFORMED S. CARSTENS Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway. ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is to examine how Marinewerft Drontheim, U Boot Stutzpunkt DORA, estab- lished at Nyhavna (Trondheim, Norway) during World War II, faced fundamental changes regarding its physical outlook and intended role and use after World War II. The changes were due to an interplay of prewar plans, post-war distance towards occupation and changing socioeconomic realities and trends in urban development ideology. We ask how this German submarine base was understood in post-war Trondheim. How could the basic principles behind the gradual transformation into a massive non-military complex be described, and what was the result of this process? Trondheim is currently growing. The har- bour areas are natural urban renewal sites. In 2015, the municipal authorities put forward a plan for the transformation of Nyhavna into an urban city area. Most of the post-war buildings were to be demolished; however, the remnants of the German naval yard were not to face such a destiny. These buildings with their ‘extreme’ architecture and massively powerful outlook appear as a defining principle for further development of a new urban city district. The article examines the changing perspectives, visions and un- derstandings applied by local authorities during the last decades. This leads towards an understanding of how this area came to be regarded as a potential hub for a major urban redevelopment plan transforming a post-military/industrial town area into an area wherein the larger part is occupied by residential quarters.

    Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld ANNUAL DEFENSE DEPARTMENT REPORT FY1977 REPORT OF SECRETARY OF DEFENSE DONALD H. RUMSFELD TO TH E CONGRESS ON THE FY 1977 BUDGET AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE FY 1978 AUTHORIZATION REQUEST AND THE FY 1977 -1981 DEFENSE PROGRAMS JANUARY 27,1976 STATEMENT OF THE HONORABLE DONALD H. RUMSFELD SECRETARY OF DEFENSE, JANUARY 27, 1976 Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee: I am pleased to present the proposed defense budget for FY 1977 and its implications for the defense authorization request for FY 1978, and a preliminary five-year defense projection for FY 1977-1981. In FY 1977, the Department proposes a defense budget of $112.7 billion in total obligational authority and $100.1 billion in estimated outlays. The details of this request as well as its justification are set forth in the annual Defense Department Report. I will touch on some of the points of particular interest. I. The Defense Budget We estimate that because of a declining rate of inflation, the defense budget for FY 1976 could permit some small real growth in defense funding for the first time since FY 1968. The budget request for FY 1977 and the preliminary five-year defense projection reflect our conviction that there must be a real program gorwth in the years immediately ahead. The Defense establishment is engaged in a crucial function of government ­ providing for the common defense - contributing to peace, stability, and the preservation of freedom. I know it will receive your most serious consideration. Within roughly three months, as prescribed by the new budget reform guidelines, you and your colleagues in the House and Senate will determine the total federal spending level, and the portion of that total which will be devoted to defense and deterrence.
