  • Grant Morrison” and Grantmorrison™
    K Scott 1 No Guru, No Method, No Teacher: “Grant Morrison” and GrantMorrison™ 1. Introduction My title comes from Van, not Grant, Morrison; not just because of a fondness for the music of my compatriot, but because it sums up both the worldview of my main subject and my own complex and contradictory responses to his work. As a writer, Morrison attracts admiration and odium in roughly equal measure, a sign generally of his attempts to innovate within the medium of comics, and more specifically of the key element of his work I wish to examine here, the extent to which he foregrounds his own presence within his texts. His work displays a continual questioning of established value systems – religious, political and artistic – and a simultaneous elevation of personae who are clearly meant to be read as avatars of Morrison himself, placed in and acting through his comics. As Jacques Bens wrote in his analysis of Boris Vian’s L’Ecume des jours: Tout écrivain refait le monde, soit parce qu’il est impuissant à restituer parfaitement une réalité don’t la structure complexe échappe à la parole, soit parce qu’il a envie de libérer ses demons familers [my italics] (177). [All authors remake the world, either because it is impossible to perfectly reconstruct a reality of which the structure is too complex to capture in language, or because they wish to loose their personal demons] The “personal demons” (and the occult reference is entirely fitting for a writer who makes much play of the idea of magic as a belief system) Morrison liberates are overwhelmingly linked to the relationship between himself and his writing.

Irish feature films, feature documentaries and animated features compete for the relatively limited screen time available in Irish cinemas with the best in the world. When given the right exposure Irish audiences respond very well to Irish films and increasingly the BSÉ/IFB is engaging with filmmakers and distributors to support and develop new ways for Irish films to find their audiences and for Irish audiences in turn to have access to Irish films.” JAMES MORRIS Chairman Bord Scannán na hÉireann/ the Irish Film Board IRISH FILM BOARD CONTENTS Bord Scannán na hÉireann / the Irish Film Board (IFB) is CHIEF EXECUTIVE INTRODUCTION... 4 Under the Hood: Voices from Belarus.......................... 73 Ireland’s national film agency.

  • Spreading and Controlling Information in the Roman
    Going Viral in Ancient Rome: Spreading and Controlling Information in the Roman Republic Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brendan James McCarthy, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Nathan S. Rosenstein, Advisor Greg Anderson Tina Sessa Copyright by Brendan McCarthy 2018 Abstract In recent years scholars have discussed the role of communication in the Roman political system. These studies have focused mostly on major public events like votes and contiones. This study will add to that discussion by looking at word-of-mouth communication. Rome’s political elite formed information networks to spread news and took great care that their public events like contiones and ludi were well attended and made news. Rome’s non-elite lived in a thriving city that encouraged the movement of people and information. Using theories taken from communications studies, sociology and the spatial turn of archeology, this study will examine the way information was spread after public events. The Roman elite relied on word-of-mouth to ensure that their reputations grew and their agendas received public support. They took great care to ensure that their public events would become news by encouraging favorable audiences to share accounts of the events with their peers. Sharing news, therefore, would have been an integral way from Romans to participate in politics. i Dedication Dedicated to my grandfather, Edwin McCarthy, who loved history and now is history ii Acknowledgements This project was a long time in the making and I am grateful for all the support I received throughout the process.
