Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Jean Folkerts W. Fitzhugh Brundage Jacquelyn Dowd Hall Frank E. Fee, Jr. Barbara Friedman ©2012 Carolyn Martindale Edy ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract CAROLYN M. EDY: Conditions of Acceptance: The United States Military, the Press, and the “Woman War Correspondent,” 1846-1945 (Under the direction of Jean Folkerts) This dissertation chronicles the history of American women who worked as war correspondents through the end of World War II, demonstrating the ways the military, the press, and women themselves constructed categories for war reporting that promoted and prevented women’s access to war: the “war correspondent,” who covered war-related news, and the “woman war correspondent,” who covered the woman’s angle of war. As the first study to examine these concepts, from their emergence in the press through their use in military directives, this dissertation relies upon a variety of sources to consider the roles and influences, not only of the women who worked as war correspondents but of the individuals and institutions surrounding their work. Nineteenth and early 20th century newspapers continually featured the woman war correspondent—often as the first or only of her kind, even as they wrote about more than sixty such women by 1914.

  • How Foreign Correspondents Risked Capture, Torture and Death to Cover World War II by Ray Moseley
    2017-042 12 May 2017 Reporting War: How Foreign Correspondents Risked Capture, Torture and Death to Cover World War II by Ray Moseley. New Haven: Yale Univ. Press, 2017. Pp. xiii, 421. ISBN 978–0–300–22466–5. Review by Donald Lateiner, Ohio Wesleyan University ([email protected]). As a child, Ray Moseley listened to reporters of World War II on the radio. He later came to know fourteen of them, but they never spoke of their experiences and he never asked (xi)—a missed oppor- tunity many of us have experienced with the diminishing older generation. 1 Moseley himself was a war and foreign correspondent for forty years from 1961, so he knows the territory from the inside out. He was posted to Moscow, Berlin, Belgrade, and Cairo, among many newspaper datelines. His book is an account and tribute to mostly British and American reporters who told “the greatest story of all time” (1, unintended blasphemy?). 2 He does not include World War II photographers as such, 3 but offers photos taken of many reporters. As usual, the European theater gets fuller attention than the Pacific (17 of the book’s 22 chapters). By design, breadth of coverage here trumps depth.4 Moseley prints excerpts from British, Australian, Canadian, Soviet, South African, Danish, Swedish, French, and Italian reporters. He excludes Japanese and German correspondents because “no independent reporting was possible in those countries” (x). This is a shame, since a constant thread in the reports is the relentless, severe censorship in occupied countries, invaded and invading Allied authorities, and the American and British Armed Forces them- selves.

  • From Mao to Xi: Chinese Political Leadership and the Craft of Consolidating Power
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Boise State University - ScholarWorks From Mao to Xi: Chinese Political Leadership and the Craft of Consolidating Power Dexter Lensing: McNair Scholar Dr. Michael Touchton and Dr. Shelton Woods: Mentors Political Science Abstract During 1965-66, a great power struggle engulfed Chinese politics while the Vietnam War escalated. While most scholars study this period for the Cultural Revolution Mao launched, this research proposes to examine the role the Vietnam War played in China’s political power struggle. Specifically, my research will show how Mao used the issue of Vietnam to defeat his rivals and consolidate power. The Chinese political structure has changed considerably since the mid-1970s. Yet, current President Xi Jinping has attempted to purge rivals and consolidate power during his term in office. Given this largely successful attempt, I want to know the extent to which Xi has the power to personally dictate how to handle problems along China’s periphery. This question is important because China is becoming a world class naval power, has an ever-growing economy, and has the potential to become a hegemon in Southeast Asia. This research compares the Vietnam War’s impact on Chinese politics during 1965-66 with Xi Jinping’s contemporary anti-corruption campaign. Specifically, I use Causal-Process tracing to compare and contrast consolidation of power under Mao and current President Xi Jinping. I draw from primary government sources of the time period, but also employ secondary sources to contrast them with each other.

  • Women War Correspondents: from the Frontline, with Empathy
    Women War Correspondents: From the Frontline, with Empathy Karen Fowler-Watt Bournemouth University Abstract In January 2017, Clare Hollingworth died, aged 105: the first war correspondent to report on the outbreak of WWII. Her A merican counterpart, Martha Gellhorn (1908- 1998), was described by Sigal (1986) as ‘that special breed of women who never had problems identifying both as a woman and with men at war’. Their lives provide context for this paper, which examines narratives of conflict, written by women and focused on human suffering (der Lippe & Ottossen, 2016). It posits that an empathetic approach to the stories of others resonates in an ‘autobiographical age’ (Plummer, 2001). In this regard, the Syrian conflict offers a case study to examine the writing of two modern day female war correspondents, the late Marie Colvin and Janine di Giovanni, to consider how auto/biographical accounts and notions of empathy can be reconciled with the journalistic shibboleth of impartiality. Colvin postulated that ‘I feel strongly that we have to include these stories of the suffering of civilians to get the point across’ (Swain in Colvin, 2012:534). In 2012, staying in Homs when others had left, she lost her own life. Do the self-reflexive accounts of female correspondents tell us anything about ‘truth’? Does a ‘non-dramatic’ journalism of compassion, shine light into dark corners? Introduction The men in the fields stared up, while I, remembering machine guns, sheltered close to a hayrick. Three bombers slipped out of a cloudbank, high and leisurely; there was the familiar sound like doors slamming, the puff of shells wide of their mark, and then, the tremor of bombs.

    UNSSEESING THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE FROM SSEES FEATURING... BREXIT, SPACE EXPLORATION, RESCUING REFUGEES AND SCHOLARSHIPS! UCL SCHOOL OF SLAVONIC AND EAST EUROPEAN STUDIES UCL SCHOOL OF SLAVONIC THIRTEENTH EDITION | SPRING 2017 2 | UNSEESING A WORD FROM THE EDITOR Can there be any other topic for this edition of UnSSEESing than the impact of the UK decision to leave the EU which of course includes most of the SSEES countries? I’ve been talking to the Director, Professor Jan Kubik, who, as Pro-Vice Provost for Europe at UCL, attends discussions with universities and government about the post-Brexit future. His thoughts, along with facts and figures about current links with the EU, form the first part of the newsletter. But that is not all. Apart from announcements, we have two articles about eminent alumnae, Helen Sharman, the first British astronaut and Clare Hollingworth, the journalist, who died in January, aged 105. We hope you enjoy them and welcome any comments you might have (send them to [email protected]). Faith Wigzell President SSEES alumni UNSEESING | 3 THE BREXIT CRUNCH AND SSEES Professor Kubik sees the vote to leave the EU as an indicator of more general but unhappy trends. Brexit signals a loss of trust in post-War institutions. These institutions, that those who did not experience the 20th century neither fully comprehend nor value, are being slowly dismantled. Since May / June 2016 the sense of global citizenship is on the wane, while the forces of fragmentation and division are on the rise. Sadly, this makes certain politicians and public figures happy.
