  • Homeless Campaigns, & Shelter Services in Boulder, Colorado
    Dreams of Mobility in the American West: Transients, Anti- Homeless Campaigns, & Shelter Services in Boulder, Colorado Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Andrew Lyness, M.A. Graduate Program in Comparative Studies The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Leo Coleman, Advisor Barry Shank Theresa Delgadillo Copyright by Andrew Lyness 2014 Abstract For people living homeless in America, even an unsheltered existence in the urban spaces most of us call “public” is becoming untenable. Thinly veiled anti-homelessness legislation is now standard urban policy across much of the United States. One clear marker of this new urbanism is that vulnerable and unsheltered people are increasingly being treated as moveable policy objects and pushed even further toward the margins of our communities. Whilst the political-economic roots of this trend are in waning localism and neoliberal polices that defined “clean up the streets” initiatives since the 1980s, the cultural roots of such governance in fact go back much further through complex historical representations of masculinity, work, race, and mobility that have continuously haunted discourses of American homelessness since the nineteenth century. A common perception in the United States is that to be homeless is to be inherently mobile. This reflects a cultural belief across the political spectrum that homeless people are attracted to places with lenient civic attitudes, good social services, or even nice weather. This is especially true in the American West where rich frontier myths link notions of homelessness with positively valued ideas of heroism, resilience, rugged masculinity, and wilderness survival.

  • Police Forum
    ACADEMY OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE SCIENCES - POLICE SECTION Volume 29 Number 2 Police Forum November 2020 From the Editor Dear Readers: It’s been seven months since the last issue, and the unusualness of our lives I noted then is now normalized. My hope remains that you are healthy and hopeful. As I write this, we have just received notice of the cancellation of the in-person annual meeting in Orlando. But I do hope we can be together soon. In the meantime, please enjoy the contents in these pages. The previous issue included an article on the USDA’s Inspectors General. This issue contains an article on another understudied law enforcement population—game wardens, and their chosen social groups. Given the mounting popularity of wildlife crime internationally, the piece introduces particularities of the work and social lives of game wardens to consider in future research. There are also announcements regarding a new book publication on policing in France and a COVID app developed by researchers at Rutgers. If you’d like to include your work or announcements in future issues, please see below for more information. We have a varied and large readership that will benefit from your additions. You may email your submissions to [email protected]. Take a few moments to enjoy this issue and all the best as we celebrate the upcoming holiday season. Michael J. Jenkins Editor From the Chair Greetings, As 2020 winds down, (and is that a good word to hear), Michael has prepared another great issue of Police Forum. We were so looking forward to our meeting in April of 2021, but understandably, The Corona has made its presence known yet again.

  • Frank Bergon´S New Western Fiction*
    STORIES FROM THE NEW WEST: FRANK BERGON´S NEW WESTERN FICTION* Monika Madinabeitia Mondragon University Frank Bergon’s novel The Temptations of St. Ed and Brother S (1993) is the revision of core and periphery identities and cultures. This novel analyses some of strategies that are utilized in the configuration and self-definition of the I. The exercise of exclusion and self-alienation practices is part of the devices that are utilized by Bergon´s characters. However, the role of the desert is of utmost relevance, for it constitutes the space where diverse cultures and identities clash with each other; in other words, the desert conveys the meeting point of the different representatives of mainstream and minority America. Bergon´s arid and hostile desert mirrors the kaleidoscopic nature that characterizes the American West. Bergon’s proposes, rather than impose, the federation of diverse identities and interests in order to establish the I in coexistence and dialogue with the Other. Key words: Western American Literature, space, (re)location, identity, core/periphery, semi-core/semi-periphery, homogenisation, diversity. Frank Bergon (b. 1943) is a critically acclaimed Nevada writer. In 1993 The Western Writers of America made Bergon a finalist for the best novel of the West in recognition of his second work, The Temptations of St. Ed and Brother S (1993). In 1998 he was inducted into the Nevada Writers Hall of Fame. The following paper reveals Frank Bergon as a writer of stories that deal with the New West of America. The snapshots and illustrations here provided * The research for this article was carried out within the framework of the project MEC FFI 2008-03833/FILO and was also funded by the FEDER program.
