Political Reelism: a Rhetorical Criticism of Reflection and Interpretation in Political Films
POLITICAL REELISM: A RHETORICAL CRITICISM OF REFLECTION AND INTERPRETATION IN POLITICAL FILMS Jennifer Lee Walton A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2006 Committee: John J. Makay, Advisor Richard Gebhardt Graduate Faculty Representative John T. Warren Alberto Gonzalez ii ABSTRACT John J. Makay, Advisor The purpose of this study is to discuss how political campaigns and politicians have been depicted in films, and how the films function rhetorically through the use of core values. By interpreting real life, political films entertain us, perhaps satirically poking fun at familiar people and events. However, the filmmakers complete this form of entertainment through the careful integration of American values or through the absence of, or attack on those values. This study provides a rhetorical criticism of movies about national politics, with a primary focus on the value judgments, political consciousness and political implications surrounding the films Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), The Candidate (1972), The Contender (2000), Wag the Dog (1997), Power (1986), and Primary Colors (1998). iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank everyone who made this endeavor possible. First and foremost, I thank Doctor John J. Makay; my committee chair, for believing in me from the start, always encouraging me to do my best, and assuring me that I could do it. I could not have done it without you. I wish to thank my committee members, Doctors John Warren and Alberto Gonzalez, for all of your support and advice over the past months. -

Engstrom offers an important, historically grounded perspective on the stakes of congressional redistricting by evaluating the impact of gerrymandering on elections and on party control of the U.S. national government from 1789 through the reapportionment revolution of the 1960s. In this era before the courts supervised redistricting, state parties enjoyed wide discretion with regard to the timing and structure of their districting choices. Although Congress occasionally added language to federal- apportionment acts requiring equally populous districts, there is little evidence this legislation was enforced. Essentially, states could redistrict largely whenever and however they wanted, and so, not surpris- ingly, political considerations dominated the process. Engstrom employs the abundant cross- sectional and temporal varia- tion in redistricting plans and their electoral results from all the states— throughout U.S. history— in order to investigate the causes and con- sequences of partisan redistricting.

WHY COMPETITION in the POLITICS INDUSTRY IS FAILING AMERICA a Strategy for Reinvigorating Our Democracy
SEPTEMBER 2017 WHY COMPETITION IN THE POLITICS INDUSTRY IS FAILING AMERICA A strategy for reinvigorating our democracy Katherine M. Gehl and Michael E. Porter ABOUT THE AUTHORS Katherine M. Gehl, a business leader and former CEO with experience in government, began, in the last decade, to participate actively in politics—first in traditional partisan politics. As she deepened her understanding of how politics actually worked—and didn’t work—for the public interest, she realized that even the best candidates and elected officials were severely limited by a dysfunctional system, and that the political system was the single greatest challenge facing our country. She turned her focus to political system reform and innovation and has made this her mission. Michael E. Porter, an expert on competition and strategy in industries and nations, encountered politics in trying to advise governments and advocate sensible and proven reforms. As co-chair of the multiyear, non-partisan U.S. Competitiveness Project at Harvard Business School over the past five years, it became clear to him that the political system was actually the major constraint in America’s inability to restore economic prosperity and address many of the other problems our nation faces. Working with Katherine to understand the root causes of the failure of political competition, and what to do about it, has become an obsession. DISCLOSURE This work was funded by Harvard Business School, including the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness and the Division of Research and Faculty Development. No external funding was received. Katherine and Michael are both involved in supporting the work they advocate in this report. -
It's Even Worse Than It Looks: a Conversation with Tom Mann And
1/9/2021 It's Even Worse than It Looks: A Conversation with Tom Mann and Norm Ornstein | Humphrey School of Public Affairs Humphrey School of Public Affairs It's Even Worse than It Looks: A Conversation with Tom Mann and Norm Ornstein In It''s Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutionall System Colllided With the New Politics of Extremism,, Thomas Mann and Norm Ornstein argue that there are two overriding probllems that have lled Congress – and the United States – to the brink of institutionall collllapse.. The first is the serious mismatch between our polliticall parties,, which have become as vehementlly adversariall as parlliamentary parties,, and a governing system that,, unllike a parlliamentary democracy,, makes it extremelly difficullt for majorities to act.. Second,, while both parties participate in triball warfare,, both sides are not equalllly cullpablle.. The polliticall system faces what the authors callll "asymmetric pollarization,," with the Republlican Party impllacablly refusing to allllow anything that might hellp the Democrats polliticalllly,, no matter the cost.. With dysfunction rooted in llong-term polliticall trends,, a coarsened polliticall cullture and a new partisan media,, the authors concllude that there is no "silver bullllet" reform that can sollve everything.. But they offer a panoplly of usefull ideas and reforms,, endorsing some sollutions,, llike greater publlic participation and institutionall restructuring of the House and Senate,, while debunking others,, llike independent or third-party candidates.. Above allll,, they callll on the media as wellll as the publlic at llarge to focus on the true causes of dysfunction rather than just throwing the bums out every ellection cyclle. -

Barbara Sinclair∗ INTRODUCTION The Broken Branch: How Congress is Failing America and How to Get It Back on Track by Tom Mann and Norm Ornstein was published in 2006. To be sure, criticism of Congress is a staple of American political discourse—the content varies, but the criticism is ubiquitous. Nevertheless, the volume of criticism has ramped up in the past decade or so, and the fact that two highly respected congressional scholars, Thomas Mann and Norman Ornstein—who are also Washington insiders and known to be sympathetic to Congress—have joined in the criticism needs to be taken seriously. The most frequent criticism in the mid-2000s was that Congress was “uncivil, . too partisan, . gridlocked, . produce[d] earmarks—‘bridges to nowhere’—but not broad legislation in the public -
