It is also an attempt to bring together the actions and visions of people and movements who don’t know each other, but who all refuse to accept the inertia of the dominant dialectic, which sells us the idea that our society needs to continue to extract hydrocarbons to avoid economic collapse. Society is awakening and growing aware of the fact that it is precisely continuing along this path that will lead to its collapse. In this book, we present a selection of 15 iconic struggles at very different levels. The majority of the stories are told by their protagonists, in the first person, and it could not have been any other way. There are personal battles in the courts, like that of the Lisa Parr family in Texas, or Diana Daunheimer in Canada; battles at the local level to secure the right to prohibit the practice, such as that in the town of Dryden in New York State. Romania and Poland inspire us with a stoic struggle by peaceful farmers against corporate power protected by a repressive government. We also find campaigns that sought an alliance of different sectors to form a united front, like in the account contributed by Neuquén Multi-Sectorial Platform Against Fracking, in Argentina. Or initiatives that spread like wildfire, like the decision to ‘lock the gate to mining compa- nies in Australia, the ‘Frack Free Municipalities’ campaign in Spain, and the Korbach Resolution in Germany. These and other iconic and inspiring battles are this book’s main contribution to global fracking resistance. The stories have been chosen because they contribute something distinctive, something useful to other movements, or something special that deserves to be shared. Many other stories have been left out of this book. They are equally valuable stories full of courageous experiences that I hope will not be forgotten. 8 The book includes stories from Europe, North America, South America, Africa, and Oceania. Asia is the real missing element. I have tried everything to include a case of community resistance from China, a country with vast reserves that is already producing shale gas com- mercially. I have asked repeatedly, through about a dozen different contacts, of various individuals and NGOs working with China on a variety of projects related to energy and the environment. But all of my efforts have been to no avail. I have not managed to get in contact with any resistance movements because

  • Issues of Image and Performance in the Beatles' Films
    “All I’ve got to do is Act Naturally”: Issues of Image and Performance in the Beatles’ Films Submitted by Stephanie Anne Piotrowski, AHEA, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English (Film Studies), 01 October 2008. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which in not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (signed)…………Stephanie Piotrowski ……………… Piotrowski 2 Abstract In this thesis, I examine the Beatles’ five feature films in order to argue how undermining generic convention and manipulating performance codes allowed the band to control their relationship with their audience and to gain autonomy over their output. Drawing from P. David Marshall’s work on defining performance codes from the music, film, and television industries, I examine film form and style to illustrate how the Beatles’ filmmakers used these codes in different combinations from previous pop and classical musicals in order to illicit certain responses from the audience. In doing so, the role of the audience from passive viewer to active participant changed the way musicians used film to communicate with their fans. I also consider how the Beatles’ image changed throughout their career as reflected in their films as a way of charting the band’s journey from pop stars to musicians, while also considering the social and cultural factors represented in the band’s image.

  • Catskill Mountainkeeper Report to Stakeholders
    CATSKILL2013 MOUNTAINKEEPER REPORT TO STAKEHOLDERS Preventing hydraulic fracturing (fracking) in New York State continues to be Catskill Mountainkeeper’s number one goal and priority. Thanks to your support, we have successfully kept fracking out of New York for over six years. To achieve our ultimate goal of a ban on fracking and to counter other “false solutions,” we continue to advance an alternative vision for our beautiful, ecologically sensitive, and economically vulnerable home region. We are working to create sustainable economic growth in the regions’ two largest sectors – tourism and agriculture – and are helping communities transition from climate changing fossil fuels to clean, renewable energies. This year, we expanded our Catskill Edible Garden Program, launched a Farmers Market to increase food access, grew our Trailkeeper Network initiative and broadened our efforts to promote and protect the Catskill Park. We are also working with groups across the nation to fight all forms of Extreme Energy extraction, and launched two initiatives to help our communities go green – Renewable NY and Save Energy, Save NY. In this report we will bring you up to date on all that we’ve accomplished in 2013 and our plans for the coming year.

  • Setting the Record Straight: Hydraulic Fracturing and America's Energy
    United States Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works Minority Staff Report Setting the Record Straight: Hydraulic Fracturing and America’s Energy Revolution October 23, 2014 Contact: U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works (Minority) Luke Bolar — [email protected] (202) 224-6176 Cheyenne Steel — [email protected] (202) 224-6176 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In his October 2, 2014, remarks to Northwestern University, President Obama boasted, “Today, the number-one oil and [natural] gas producer in the world is no longer Russia or Saudi Arabia. It’s America.”1 In his speech, the President also touted “our 100-year supply of natural gas [as] a big factor in drawing jobs back to our shores. Many are in manufacturing, which produce the quintessential middle-class job.”2 The President’s attempt to claim success from the very industry he has worked so hard to undermine is sadly ironic. Then again, it would have made little sense for the President to take credit for the numerous failed “green” stimulus projects, including Solyndra, or otherwise for him to have been honest about the fact that without the private sector’s investment in oil and natural gas development the economy would still be in a deep recession. Instead, he chose to celebrate—along with all the undeniable benefits it has for our nation—the success of an industry he and his far-left environmental activist base despise. This report by the United States Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works illustrates the clear disparity between the President’s rhetoric and the multitude of nonsensical claims from the far-left environmental activist organizations—such as the Natural Resources Defense Council, Sierra Club, and Center for American Progress—versus the reality of American ingenuity, including hydraulic fracturing, to develop our vast fossil resources.

  • Feminism: When the Label 'White' Gets Attached in Pop Music Industry
    Feminism: When the Label ‘White’ Gets Attached in Pop Music Industry Audrey Lee and Brian Oh Published 5 Oct 2020 Abstract This paper describes a qualitative study that investigates the pop music genre starting from the 2000s, relating it to feminism. The investigation focuses on understanding when female artists are considered feminist, and when the label ‘white feminist’ is applied to specific female artists. Based on media press and public perspective, the research hopes to find key characteristics that separates the moment when the label feminism and white feminism are applied, especially in relation to other attributes such as gender orientation, sexual orientation, and race. The purpose of the research is to provide more insight into understanding feminism in the context of today, and to how navigate complex spaces such as media image and personal identity, labels that come with the public status of their profession. 1 Introduction MTV, The GRAMMYs, Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, KIIS FM - Popular music aka ‘Pop Music’ is an industry that is in a constant flurry of activity and publicity, through television, radio, news, and videos. When referencing popular music, the paper is defining Pop Music as any popular music produced after the 2000s. With such a public identity, artists in the pop music industry are expected to navigate the complexities of the business that exist, including image, policies, and activism. In the current generation where technology and communication can occur in an instant, female artists are expected to adjust to a multi-faceted industry that, at many times, can seem paradoxical in nature. Many female artists are forced to find the right balance between outgoing and timid when portraying their public personas.

Andrew Cuomo (D) announced a ban on so-called high-volume hydraulic fracturing activities in the state of New York. The unprecedented decision overturned two earlier findings from New York state environmental regulators that hydraulic fracturing technology could be applied safely and should be allowed to proceed under stringent regulation. The decision was at odds with broad agreement among scientists, engineers and regulators from state and federal environmental agencies that hydraulic fracturing has been conducted safely for decades – including, incidentally, in the state of New York.

  • Voices Not Heard Natural Gas Development, Public Discourse, And
    Voices Not Heard Natural Gas Development, Public Discourse, and Power in Wayne County, Pennsylvania BY Grace Wildermuth Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of Sociology-Anthropology Middlebury College January 31st, 2014 Approved_____________________________ Chair, Department of Sociology-Anthropology Voices Not Heard Natural Gas Development, Public Discourse, and Power in Wayne County, Pennsylvania Grace Wildermuth ABSTRACT As members of the urban and suburban population continue to migrate to rural areas in search of a beautiful landscape and quiet way of life, conflict over the meaning of and ownership over the landscape emerges. New and already established populations tend to have dramatically different conceptions of landscape and environment, leading to struggles in local environmental policy. This research focuses on Wayne County, Pennsylvania and uses a current and polarizing issue, hydraulic fracturing for natural gas, to illuminate these tensions. The prevailing rhetoric put forth predominantly by those who have moved to the area from urban centers and those who come to the area for recreation has dominated the debate due to abundant resources and access to national and local media. This research was conducted in an effort to elevate an alternative rhetoric absent from the political discourse surrounding this issue. I conducted in-depth interviews with predominantly longtime residents who live and work on the landscape in order to understand the meaning they ascribe to hydraulic fracturing for natural gas on the landscape and the conflicts with new or part-time residents the issue has revealed. The interviews were supplemented with various media sources.
