It examines how development organizations such as the United Nations, bilateral aid agencies such as the U.S. Agency for International Development, and non-governmental agencies created the institutional structures that define and support the practice of media transition. It analyzes how the nascent Afghan state media institutions and non-governmental organizations dedicated to media reconstruction negotiated and mobilized the discourse of media transition to further their own aims. It also analyzes how changing political considerations, media production and dissemination outlets, and media producers’ own sense of mission affected the production of a series of radio programs designed to promote Afghan political transition. This dissertation argues that democracy should not be treated as a self-evident goal for media transitions, but v should be viewed as a discursive process that shares many of the same concerns as development communications, and that mobilizes a transnational public sphere. vi Table of Contents

    Hobbs, V. (2015). Characterizations of Feminism in Reformed Christian Online Media. Journal of Media and Religion , 14 (4), 211-229. Characterizations of Feminism in Reformed Christian Online Media The term “culture war” is often used to describe the relationship between evangelical Christianity and movements like feminism. Given the increasing dependence of religious groups on online media, analysis of the discourse therein offers an effective means of examining patterns within Christian discourse about feminism. The current study examines a corpus of 147 articles from a popular online North American Reformed Christian news site, focusing on what feminism is most frequently associated with and counterexamples to these characterizations. Feminism was consistently connected with false theology, breakdown of marriage/traditional gender roles, promiscuity and nontraditional sexuality, abortion, anti-Christian cultural change, and liberal politics. However, a minority of dissenting voices suggests that some are allowed to express cautious support of feminism. Introduction It will come as no surprise to most people that feminism and Christianity are not fast friends. A study of evangelical attitudes towards feminism by Gallagher (2004a) found that two thirds of American evangelicals consider feminism ‘hostile to Christian values’ (p. 229). Feminism has been blamed by evangelicals in North America for the declining value of the traditional family (Kassian, 2005), the rise of women in unbiblical positions of leadership (Creegan and Pohl, 2005), legalization of abortion (Steuter, 1992), theological liberalism (Grudem, 2006) and the rise of the divorce rate (Adams & Coltrane, 2007). The term ‘culture war’ is often used in conjunction with what is perceived as a battle between evangelical Christianity and movements such as feminism which, according to many, undermine Christian ideology (Ingersoll, 2003).

The plight of women and children in Afghanistan is a matter of deliberate human cruelty, carried out by those who seek to intimidate and control. .Because of our recent military gains in much of Afghanistan, women are no longer imprisoned in their homes. They can listen to music and teach their daughters without fear of punishment. First Lady Laura W. Bush1 The bombings have increased the suffering of the people in Afghanistan. They muststopitatonce. Sabira Mateen2 Attention, noble Afghan people. As you know, the coalition countries have been air-dropping daily humanitarian rations for you. The food ration is en- closed in yellow plastic bags. They come in the shape of rectangular or long squares. The food inside the bags is Halal and very nutritional. .In areas away from where food has been dropped, cluster bombs will also be dropped. The color of these bombs is also yellow. .Do not confuse the cylinder-shaped bomb with the rectangular food bag. U.S. Psychological Operations Radio, Sunday, October 28, 2001.3 I.

  • Cinderella Goes to the Purity Ball: an Open Letter on Feminism and Girl Culture, Written to My Female Undergraduate Students
    Volume 5, Issue 1 February 2012 Cinderella goes to the purity ball: An open letter on feminism and girl culture, written to my female undergraduate students SALLY GALMAN University of Massachusetts Amherst ABSTRACT The author responds to the observed complacency and post-feminist rhetoric embraced by some of her female undergraduate students, exhorting them to reexamine girl culture, pop culture, feminism and the anti-intellectualism that pervades contemporary U.S. culture. An analysis of the princess trope in girl culture is followed by commentary on the place of education in a struggling economy. The letter concludes with a challenge to young women to become involved agitators instead of tiara-clad spectators in their own political lives. KEYWORDS gender, feminism, girl culture, popular culture, post-feminism Dear Students,1 I’ve been watching you all over the past few years. I know we’ve enjoyed class discussion together and I’ve read your papers, journals and other materials. However, I'm writing this open letter with each of you in mind because there are some very important things I want to tell you and the margins of your papers were not wide enough, nor were our class periods or lectures long enough for me to tell you how concerned I am about you. I listen to you talk about boyfriends and marriage while I hear you distance yourself from political and social discourse. I witness your skewed interpretation of and participation in contemporary girl culture. I hear you talk about ‘the feminists’ with disdain. I wince as you talk about taking only the easiest classes, because I know how bright and full of promise each of you are.

  • Feminism, the Taliban, and Politics of Counter-Insurgency
    SOCIAL THOUGHT AND COMMENTARY Feminism, the Taliban, and Politics of Counter-Insurgency Charles Hirschkind University of Wisconsin-Madison Saba Mahmood The University of Chicago n a cool breezy evening in March 1999, Hollywood celebrities turned out Oin large numbers to show their support for the Feminist Majority’s cam- paign against the Taliban’s brutal treatment of Afghan women. Jay and Mavis Leno hosted the event, and the audience included celebrities like Kathy Bates, Geena Davis, Sidney Potier, and Lily Tomlin. Jay Leno had tears in his eyes as he spoke to an audience that filled the cavernous Directors Guild of American Theater to capacity. It is doubtful that most people in this crowd had heard of the suffering of Afghan women before. But by the time Mellissa Etheridge, Wynonna Judd, and Sarah McLachlan took to the stage, following the Afghan chant meaning “We are with you,” tears were streaming down many cheeks.2 The person spearheading this campaign was Mavis Leno, Jay Leno’s wife, who had been catapulted into political activism upon hearing about the plight of Afghan women living under the brutal regime of the Taliban. This form of Third World solidarity was new for Mavis Leno. Prior to embarking on this proj- ect, reports George magazine, “Leno restricted her activism to the Freddy the Pig Club, the not-so radical group devoted to a rare series of out-of-print children’s books.”3 She was recruited by her Beverly Hills neighbor to join the Feminist Majority, an organization formed by Eleanor Smeal, a former president of NOW.
