Information Imbalances: Communications and The
"INFORMATION IMBALANCES": Communications and the Developing World Shashi Tharoor* A Latin American newspaper ignores a historic economic conference between the under-developed nations and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in order to play up the opening of a New York photographic exhibition by Caroline Kennedy. On a single day a newspaper in India devotes three times the wordage to Princess Anne's fall from a horse than it has accorded neighboring Sri Lanka Prime Minister Sirimavo Bandaranaike in a week. The South China Morning Post prints Peking-watcher stories written in Hong Kong by New York Times correspondents whose copy is cabled back after being edited in the United States. A Kuwaiti learns about political developments in Thailand from reports by a transnational' news agency based in New York. These are "information imbalances," the international media's latest cause for concern, a concept referring to the disequilibria in the structure of communication that result in the preponderance of Western, and specifically American, sources of information in the world today. The post-World War II enthusiasm for democratic principles, which caused the ideals of a free press to be enshrined almost univer- sally, has abated considerably in recent years.

On the Touch-Event Theopolitical Encounters
ON THE TOUCH-EVENT Theopolitical Encounters Valentina Napolitano Abstract: This article addresses the ‘touch-event’ as a mediated affective encounter that pivots around a tension between intimacy and distance, seduction and sovereignty, investment and withdrawal. Through a reread- ing of the Pauline event of conversion to Christianity, it argues that an analysis of the evolving significance of touch-events for Catholic liturgy and a religious congregation shows the theopolitical as always already constituted within an economy of enfleshed virtues. Focusing on contem- porary examples of touch-events from the life of Francis, the first pope from the Americas, as well as from fieldwork among a group of female Latin American Catholic migrants in Rome, I argue for a closer examina- tion of touch-events in order to grasp some of their theopolitical, radical, emancipatory, and, in some contexts, subjugating effects. Keywords: Atlantic Return, economies of virtues, incarnation, Pauline event, Pope Francis, sovereignty, theopolitics, touch-event If one googles the word ‘touch-event’, what comes up is a definition of a keyword in the Java programming language—TouchEvent—that governs the interface between a given piece of software and a user’s contact with a piece of touch-sensitive hardware (e.g., a touchscreen or touchpad).1 Although this use of the term is distinct in obvious ways from my own theorization of touch- event in what follows, the Java keyword ‘TouchEvent’ nevertheless names an infrastructural modality that is at once a tactile, digital encounter (a move- ment) and a condition for its apprehension (a code). Anthropologists and histo- rians have written at some length about touch—chief touch, royal touch, papal touch, ritual and healing touch—and the connection between the king’s two bodies in medieval and early modern concepts of sovereignty (Firth 1940; Grae- ber and Sahlins 2017; Kantorowicz [1957] 1997). -

The EFE News Service reports that remnants of the Shining Path guerrilla group are present in the Upper Huallaga Valley under the command of Florindo Eleuterio Flores Hala, whose alias is "'Comrade Artemio,'" and in the Apurimac and Ene River Valley (Valle de los Ríos Apurímac y Ene, VRAE) region where they are led by Victor Quispe Palomino, whose alias is "'Comrade Jose'" (EFE News Service 30 Dec. 2010). In an interview with the Inter-Press Service (IPS), the author of The Shining Path, Gustavo Gorriti also states that the Shining Path has two different groups, one in the Upper Huallaga Valley and the other in the VRAE area, that are "largely hostile to each other" (IPS 4 Aug. 2008). Gorriti adds that the faction in the Upper Huallaga Valley region has suffered several setbacks, but the group in the VRAE region has been "visibly strengthened in recent years" (ibid.). Somewhat similarly, an assistant professor of Latin American history at the University of Alberta --- who is also the author of Before the Shining Path: Politics in Rural Ayacucho, 1895 - 1980 --- indicated in correspondence with the Research Directorate that the Shining Path has diminished in size and strength since 1992 and that it continues to function, although in "significantly modified form" (21 Jan. -

Religion and Fake News: Faith-Based Alternative Information Ecosystems in the U.S. and Europe
Religion and Fake News: Faith-based Alternative Information Ecosystems in the U.S. and Europe Christopher Douglas | 6 January 2018 Summary he intersection of fake news and religion is marked by three asymmetries. First, fake news circulates more among Americans than Europeans. Second, fake news circulates T among conservatives more than liberals. Third, fake news for conservatives often feature religious themes. The origin of the fake news information-entertainment ecosystem lies largely in Christian fundamentalism’s cultivation of counter-expertise. The intersection of fake news and religion today is being exploited by Russia to subvert Western democracies and deepen social divisions. Western countries need to strengthen mainstream evidence-based journalism, incorporate conservative religious leaders into mainstream discussions, and detach high religiosity from fake news information ecosystems.

I/ETS: Indonesian-English Machine Translation System Using Collaborative P2P Corpus
I/ETS: Indonesian-English Machine Translation System using Collaborative P2P Corpus Hammam Riza, Budiono, Adiansya Prasetya and Henky Mulyadi Science and Technology Network Information Center (IPTEKnet) Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT), Indonesia [email protected] Abstract. This paper is a preliminary result in developing a bidirectional machine translation system of Indonesian-English, by using open source software and creative common corpus. We will describe our method, starting with corpus collection process, followed by corpus processing and the software system for translation. The corpus is developed through a collaborative P2P development framework, a collective intelligence approach to building a parallel text of Indonesian- English. We further describe the component of the translation system which combine a hybrid symbolic-statistical technique. 1. Introduction In the era of globalization, communication among languages becomes much more important. People has been hoping that natural language processing and speech processing, which are part of ICT (Information and Communication Technology), can assist in smoothening the communication among people with different languages. However, especially for Indonesian language, there were only few researches in the past. Based on the fact that there is no large corpus available and it is of crucial importance, the first phase of this project is to build large bilingual Indonesian- English corpus. We use collective intelligence approach to build this corpus, which in turn are used to build modules for the hybrid symbolic-statistical Machine Translation (MT). 2. System Components There are two main components in building statistical machine translation system where both of these components are crucial. Additional supporting component is the symbolic modules. -
Catholicpac: Why the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops Should (Probably) Lose Its 501(C)(3) Tax-Exempt Status
CATHOLICPAC: WHY THE UNITED STATES CATHOLIC CONFERENCE OF BISHOPS SHOULD (PROBABLY) LOSE ITS 501(C)(3) TAX-EXEMPT STATUS Jesse Ryan Loffler* “A Catholic cannot vote for a candidate who takes a position in favor of an intrinsic evil, such as abortion or racism, if the voter’s intent is to support that position. In such cases a Catholic would be guilty of formal cooperation in grave evil.”1 INTRODUCTION During the 2008 election, now-Vice-President Biden was ad- monished not to take Communion by Denver Archbishop Chaput on account of Biden’s pro-choice position.2 Early in 2009, Arch- bishop Raymond Burke—now the head of the Vatican’s highest court, the Apostolic Signatura—stated to the media that any pro- choice Catholic politician should be refused Holy Communion.3 In late 2009, Rhode Island Bishop Tobin publicly implored U.S. Rep- resentative Patrick Kennedy to stop taking Eucharist because of Kennedy’s pro-choice views.4 While the Catholic Church is consti- * Juris Doctor, Benjamin N.

International News Agencies and the War Debate of 2003
The International Communication Gazette COPYRIGHT © 2006 SAGE PUBLICATIONS LONDON, THOUSAND OAKS & NEW DELHI 1748-0485 VOL. 68(5–6): 427–447 DOI: 10.1177/1748048506068722 http://gaz.sagepub.com INTERNATIONAL NEWS AGENCIES AND THE WAR DEBATE OF 2003 Beverly Horvit Abstract / A stratified random sample of articles about the debate from 29 January 2003, to 18 February 2003, leading up to the US–Iraq conflict was selected from six news agencies – AP, Agence France Presse, Reuters, Xinhua, ITAR-TASS and Inter Press Service. US official sources were cited most frequently by all agencies except IPS and ITAR-TASS, which showed a nationalistic bias in its sourcing. Neither the western news agencies nor Xinhua’s sourcing patterns were nationalistic, and their coverage was more balanced than IPS and ITAR-TASS. However, the non-western news agencies presented significantly more non-western viewpoints in their coverage of the pre-war debate. Keywords / international conflict / international news / news agencies / news flow / sources / US–Iraq war Introduction In March 2003, the United States waged war against Iraq and its leader, Saddam Hussein. As the US military prepared to invade Iraq, President Bush used his January 2003 State of the Union address to present his case for taking action against Hussein. Although the US had persuaded Great Britain and about 30 countries to support its efforts to oust Hussein, many influential nations, including Russia, China and France – all permanent members of the United Nations Security Council – remained steadfastly opposed. Ultimately, the decision to go to war belonged to Bush, a democratically elected leader whose tenure would be decided by US voters.
