360-Review-1.2-Final.Pdf Energy, Agriculture, Finance, Culture & Faith on the Northern Great Plains SUMMER/FALL 2016 • VOLUME 1.2 • UNIVERSITY OF MARY 360 REVIEW magazine covers energy, agriculture, finance, culture and faith on the Northern Great Plains. 360 Review presents in-depth inquiry, analysis and reflection on important issues, trends and events happening in and affecting this region. There is a special focus on North Dakota, where we are located. More stories about surrounding states will published in future issues. “Magazine” derives from makhazin, the Arabic word for “storehouse,” which also soon gained military application as a “store for arms.” The world’s first print magazines began publication in England in the 18th century and sought to provide a storehouse of information and intellectual armament. 360 Review joins that tradition with the Christian, Catholic and Benedictine tradition of the University of Mary, which exists to serve the religious, academic and cultural needs of people in this region and beyond. As a poet once wrote: “The universe is composed of stories, not atoms.” 360 Review strives to tell some of these stories well—on paper (made of atoms, we presume), which is retro-innovative in a world spinning into cyberspace.

It’s amusing to see the old “iron link” between energy consumption and standard of living resurrected The leadership of the old Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) believed firmly in the link between electricity consump- tion and quality of life That was their rationale for predicting a future with thousands of nuclear reactors dotting the U S , and they had decades of data supporting that assumption Fortunately, what they were interpreting as an iron link was short-term elasticity Because of the nature of our energy infra- structure, it has a short-term elasticity close to zero However, events since the early 1970s have clearly shown that our energy system’s long-term elasticity is considerably higher There is a major omission in Mills’ analysis: the economic externalities of continuing reliance on fossil fuels to power modern society If we are forced to begin removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at rates comparable to its rate of release, in order to mitigate the increasingly destructive effects of global warming on the frequency and severity of natural disasters, on sea levels, etc , then it will substantially reduce the net efficiency and increase the societal cost of conventional technology It would be very interesting to see if Mills’ conclu- sions would be altered if he included this in his analysis David F Salisbury Senior Research Writer, Vanderbilt University Response: Mark Mills There is just no evidence that the global link between energy consumption and economic growth has ended It is, by the way, a “golden” and not iron link for the billions of people in emerging economies who seek to rise to even a fraction of the lifestyle casually enjoyed by the one billion people in mature economies Of course as economies mature, the character of the link changes: Mature nations can experience economic growth rates higher than electric growth rates—the inverse of poor nations But the link remains And even seemingly trivial growth rates of 1 percent, or a fraction of a percent per year in big economies, creates an incremental increase in energy demands that exceed the total national demands of smaller economies As for the notion that the “iron” link traces its roots to the old AEC, that organization was far from alone in citing the linkage And they were right 2 360 REVIEW It is a standard shibboleth to cite environmental “externalities” as if they are not priced into the use of hydrocarbons With the exception of carbon dioxide (well, until the contentious Clean Power Plan), the entire purpose is to internalize the costs associated with a legion of environmental regula- tions As for carbon dioxide, I have written elsewhere but note here briefly, that whatever the merits or accuracy of increasingly hyperbolic claims about global warming, the immutable fact is that the world gets 85 percent of all energy from burning hydrocarbons Over the past two decades, hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies for alternative energy have not changed that fact There is simply not enough money nor any credible way with existing technol- ogies by which the world can replace hydrocarbons at the scale and price that matters I am in good company with this observation—none other than Bill Gates has recently and repeatedly observed the same reality The writer is correct, though—if “we are forced to begin removing carbon dioxide,” it would change my analysis I would then focus on the staggering economic destruction of civilization Journalism, Information & Democracy Thank you for reinstating a depth to journalism that is so lacking in today’s world of media soundbites 360 Review is a refreshing look at the cultural, economic, religious and geopolitical dimensions that make our Northern Great Plains great Your deep dives allow your readers to engage in meaningful discussions and even take action on issues important to them While reading 360 Review, I was struck by the similarity to an online endeavor I founded last fall, TheChisel com, where we delve into public policy issues important to Americans and to the country’s future Just as you are combating the decay of investigative journalism, we are heeding our Chief Inspiration Officer Ben Franklin’s admonition: “What have you done with our Great American Experiment?” Ben Franklin has much in common with our Northern Great Plains—a spirit of entrepreneurship, innovation and invention, statesmanship, scholarship, independence, and patriotism Most importantly, he represents the tie that binds together disparate ideas, fusing them into a cohesive, flourishing whole At TheChisel com, we are taking back our democracy by giving citizens a unique platform to engage in public policy-making with experts from nonpartisan organizations and multi-partisan coalitions Then we’ll help send proposals to Congress This project can succeed only if Americans are properly informed, to which 360 Review is making

  • Stijl in Fargo
    BACHELOR EINDWERKSTUK Jasper Koenen 3909700 Media- en Cultuurwetenschappen Docent: Hanna Surma Studiejaar 2015-2016, blok 2. Inleverdatum: 29 januari 2016 STIJL IN FARGO Stilistische analyse naar de functie van stijl op de vormgeving van het personage Gus Grimly. Deze pagina is welbewust wit gelaten. 1 Abstract In dit eindwerkstuk wordt er onderzoek gedaan naar de relatie tussen stijl en personage in dramaserie FARGO van FX. Het personage dat centraal zal staat is Gus Grimly. Er is gekozen voor dit personage vanwege de grote ontwikkeling die hij doormaakt. Met behulp van een stilistische analyse worden de stijlelementen mise-en-scène, geluid en montage nader bekeken. De opzet van de analyse is overgenomen van mediawetenschapper Jeremy Butler. In zijn boek TV Style werkt hij een methode uit voor onderzoek naar stijl in televisie. Uit de analyse die is uitgevoerd in dit eindwerkstuk blijkt stijl een belangrijke functie te hebben. Waar Gus zich na tien afleveringen ontpopt tot personage dat in staat is iemand te vermoorden, lijkt stijl juist iets anders te willen betogen. Gus wordt immer afgebeeld als de rustige en goedaardige man en zelfs na het doden van Lorne Malvo blijft de vormgeving onveranderd. Hiermee wordt aangegeven dat Gus als personage niet veranderd is, maar dat het doden van Lorne een actie was waar Gus dwangmatig aan toe moest geven. Stijl is dus in staat een boodschap uit te dragen die in eerste instantie niet lijkt te stroken met wat het narratief van een serie vertelt. Keywords: Television Style; stylistic analysis, complex tv, character development. 2 Inhoudsopgave Abstract ................................................................................................................................................... 2 1.

  • TV Review: Fargo Season 1 Episode 1: 'The Crocodile's
    Nouse Web Archives TV Review: Fargo Season 1 Episode 1: ‘The Crocodile’s Dilema’ Page 1 of 3 News Comment MUSE. Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Film & TV › Features Film Reviews TV Reviews Festivals TV Review: Fargo Season 1 Episode 1: ‘The Crocodile’s Dilema’ The opening episode of this crime thriller manages to capture the mood of the original while delivering a new and nail-biting story. Kate Barlow reviews Wednesday 23 April 2014 Rating: ★★★★★ Adapting an Oscar-winning well-loved cult film into a TV show only 18 years after its original release is a risky business. Especially given the fact that said film is directed by no other than the Coen brothers. However, in this grimly compelling crime thriller the high-risk strategy has paid off. Perhaps one of the first things that has to be said about the TV adaptation of Fargo is that it is in no way a remake. Despite the fact that the episode opens in the same way as the film, with a message claiming (falsely) that this is a true story, from here on the entire storyline of the first episode is different. While versions of characters from the film version remain (although their names have been changed) – we see Martin Freeman deliver a version of Jerry Lundegaard to perfection, along with Allison Tolman as an ambitious police detective not dissimilar to Marge Gunderson, truly giving Frances McDormand a run for her money – new characters are also introduced, giving the story a burst of originality. Billy Bob Thornton as the devilish do-what-you-want Lorne Malvo opens the episode, setting the dark broody atmosphere for the rest of the 68 minute runtime (and, hopefully, the rest of the series).

Los sirios desafían a los tanques sin más armas que sus deseos de cambio MOISÉS NAÍM 15/05/2011 ¿Cómo explicar que Estados Unidos y Europa estén bombardeando a Trípoli con misiles y a Damasco con palabras? ¿Por qué tanto empeño en sacar al brutal tirano libio del poder y tanto cuidado con su igualmente salvaje colega sirio? Comencemos por la respuesta más común (y errada): es por el petróleo. Libia tiene mucho y Siria, no. Y por tanto, según esta explicación, el verdadero objetivo de la agresión militar contra Libia son sus campos petroleros. Siria se salva por no tener mucho petróleo. El problema con esta respuesta es que, en términos de acceso garantizado al petróleo libio, Gadafi era una apuesta mucho más segura para Occidente que la situación de caos e incertidumbre que ha producido esta guerra. Las empresas petroleras de Occidente operaban muy bien con Gadafi. No necesitaban cambiar nada. Una segunda, y común, manera de contestar la pregunta es denunciando la hipocresía estadounidense: Washington nos tiene acostumbrados al doble rasero y a las contradicciones en sus relaciones internacionales. Esta tampoco es una respuesta muy útil, ya que no nos ayuda a entender las causas de estas contradicciones.

  • Fergal TWOMEY Methodology As Teleology: the Economy of Secrets and Drama As Critique of Systems in the Works of Vince Gilligan A
    Methodology as Teleology: The Economy of Secrets and Drama as Critique of Systems 133 in the Works of Vince Gilligan and Noah Hawley Fergal TWOMEY Methodology as Teleology: The Economy of Secrets and Drama as Critique of Systems in the Works of Vince Gilligan and Noah Hawley Abstract: In Noah Hawley’s Fargo, Lorne Malvo, a maverick loner who embodies sublime forces modulating human behaviour, states that he is a “student of institutions”. What serves as a glib and ironic remark on the arbitrary regulations of a small-town hostel raises questions about the aspirations and context of modern television. Traditional drama in this medium strives to portray human relationships on their psychological vague, through personal crises of love, family and identity as the force of character and plot development. A turn in recent series such as those of Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul) and Noah Hawley (Fargo) presents a different form of drama. This is story as process, where the monomyth revolves around the circuitous navigation of institutions and processes by individuals, as well as the innovative manner in which they use and abuse them and, in turn, are used and abused by them in a struggle for agency. In this format, which has antecedents in procedural drama but departs radically from its conventions, the story is not driven by individual motives or ‘primal’ desires, but rather by the inhuman and dehumanising force which systems exert over the individuals contained within them. The cultural experience of fear and ambition in the era of consolidation of post-Fordist structures of life has departed from a paradigm of randomised fortune and misfortune to one of incorrigible and overlapping expectations, where the uncertainty behind both emotions is subaltern to the process-interaction that comprises a theory of systems.

  • Fargo: Seeing the Significance of Style in Television Poetics?
    Fargo: Seeing the significance of style in television poetics? By Max Sexton and Dominic Lees 6 Keywords: Poetics; Mini-series; Style; Storyworld; Coen brothers; Noah Hawley Abstract This article argues that Fargo as an example of contemporary US television serial drama renews the debate about the links between Televisuality and narrative. In this way, it seeks to demonstrate how visual and audio strategies de-stabilise subjectivities in the show. By indicating the viewing strategies required by Fargo, it is possible to offer a detailed reading of high-end drama as a means of understanding how every fragment of visual detail can be organised into a ‘grand’ aesthetic. Using examples, the article demonstrates how the construction of meaning relies on the formally playful use of tone and texture, which form the locus of engagement, as well as aesthetic value within Fargo. At the same time, Televisuality can be more easily explained and understood as a strategy by writers, directors and producers to construct discourses around increased thematic uncertainty that invites audience interpretation at key moments. In Fargo, such moments will be shown to be a manifestation not only of the industrial strategy of any particular network ‒ its branding ‒ but how is it part of a programme’s formal design. In this way, it is hoped that a system of television poetics ‒ including elements of camera and performance ‒ generates new insight into the construction of individual texts. By addressing television style as significant, it avoids the need to refer to pre-existing but delimiting categories of high-end television drama as examples of small screen art cinema, the megamovie and so on.

  • The Rise of 'Bright Noir'. Redemption A
    Author’s Accepted Manuscript (AAM) of the following chapter: García, Alberto N. "The Rise of 'Bright Noir'. Redemption and Moral Optimism in American Contemporary TV Noir", in European Television Crime Drama and Beyond, edited by Kim Toft Hansen, Steven Peacock, and Sue Turnbull, Palgrave, 2018, pp. 41- 60. Published version: https://www.palgrave.com/gp/book/9783319968865 1 The Rise of “Bright Noir” Redemption and Moral Optimism in American Contemporary TV Noir Alberto N. García Lou Solverson: We’re just out of balance. Betsy Solverson: You and me? Lou Solverson: Whole world. Used to know right from wrong. A moral centre. Now... (Fargo, “Fear and Trembling”, 2.4) Seated on the porch of their home, the Solversons reflect on evil and its masks, consequences and origins. Such ruminations have always been implicit, and sometimes explicit, in film noir since its emergence. However, as the above scene illustrates, Fargo (FX, 2014–) addresses evil from a classical moral perspective, as opposed to the anti- heroism and cynicism of angry, contradictory protagonists that have characterized the first decade of the golden age of television fiction (Martin 2013; Lotz 2014; Vaage 2015). Fargo is unlike other ‘quality TV’ crime series – such as The Sopranos (HBO, 1999–2007), The Wire (HBO, 2002–2008) or The Shield (FX, 2002–2008) – because the Solversons demonstrate hope, the “cousin” of optimism. Fargo embraces optimism, which, as defined by the anthropologist Lionel Tiger, is “a mood or attitude associated with an expectation about the social or material future—one which the evaluator regards as socially desirable, to his advantage, or for his pleasure” (1979, 53).

Masculine Failure and Male Violence in Noah Hawley’s Fargo By J. T. Weisser1 Abstract ‘Quality’ television drama is drama marketed as being filmic and boundary-pushing, yet it tackles the concept of masculinity in highly normative ways. Scholars argue that many quality television shows feature narratives of men struggling against emasculation at the hands of contemporary society before using violence to assert their masculinity by force. However, this interpretation is limited, assuming that all quality television shows which engage with violent masculinities root this violence in normative, ‘aggressive’ masculinity.

INTRODUCTION On September 30, 1952 an attorney appeared before the House Subcommittee on Un-American Activities in Los Angeles as an extremely hostile witness. Ben Margolis, prominent labor lawyer and well-known radical, vehemently refused to answer nearly every question Chairman John S. Wood put forth to him. When asked if he knew Edward Dmytryk, one of the first "unfriendly witnesses" to appear before the House Un-American Activities Committee (H.U.A.C.) in Washington in 1947 who later recanted and named names, Margolis responded by stating, "Unfortunately he has become a member of your stable.

To My Parents PREFACE The birth of the State of Israel on May 15, 1948, marked the climax of a vigorous campaign launched some six years earlier by world Zionism in the Biltmore Pro¬ gram. At the Biltmore Conference the Zionists had reason to proclaim openly their political intentions before the American public. Although political Zionism had long pursued the goal of a Jewish state, only the circumstances of modern history compelled the complete unveiling of Zionist intentions.
