Schreiber: Conversations that Matter Decline. Division. Polarization. These are just a few of the words that frequent news media headlines, the mouths of politicians, and scholarly research when discussing the current political, social, and economic situations facing the United States. From the outward narratives of America’s declining economy and infrastructure to the more internal divisions that were exposed during the 2016 presidential election cycle, the visions and reality of decline seem to be everywhere. This is not new. Recent events certainly highlighted more serious divisions among American citizens and worsening attitudes towards politics and democracy, but this is not an entirely new concept. -

Deliberative Democracy in the Networked Public Sphere: Using Social Media to Talk Politics
Deliberative Democracy in the Networked Public Sphere: Using Social Media to Talk Politics Russell William Hansen A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Washington 2018 Committee: Emily Ignacio Amos Nascimento Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Science ©Copyright 2018 Russell William Hansen University of Washington Abstract Deliberative Democracy in the Networked Public Sphere: Using Social Media to Talk Politics Russell William Hansen Chairs of the Supervisory Committee: Emily Ignacio Amos Nascimento Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences Online discussions about politics are commonplace, and could play a large role in the deliberative process that is crucial to the healthy functioning of democracy. Assailed as inferior, dysfunctional, and distracting, these discussions are made possible by the invention and adoption of new information communication technologies, and questions often arise regarding how the uses of such technologies affect the way in which political deliberation is undertaken. I look at these questions through the lens of public sphere theory, focusing on how political discussion on social media platforms such as Reddit and Facebook adheres to the norms of ideal democratic deliberation. I advocate for the development of new methods which take into consideration the complexity of overlapping networks of digital communication technologies. Running Head: DELIBERATIVE DEMOCRACY IN THE NETWORKED PUBLIC SPHERE 1 Acknowledgments I would like to thank my thesis chairs, Emily Ignacio and Amos Nascimento, for their tireless effort and constant support in helping me to write this thesis. They have been invaluable for encouraging my intellectual development, and I cannot imagine having completed this thesis without their assistance. -

1 What Comes After the Ideology of Separate Spheres? Women Writers and Modernism
Notes 1 What Comes after the Ideology of Separate Spheres? Women Writers and Modernism. 1 Such influential works as Gilbert and Gubar’s No Man’s Land and Friedman’s early work on H.D. in Psyche Reborn follow modernist tradition in emphasizing the First World War as a historical rupture with the nine- teenth century. In contrast, Clark’s turn to the sentimental and Ardis’s to the figure of the ‘new woman’ both provide alternative nineteenth- century cultural contexts for women’s modernist writing, while Caren Kaplan offers one of the few readings of modernism’s continuities with postmodernism, specifically the value that they both place on travel and mobility. 2 Key works of the postmodern geography movement include Lefebvre, Soja and Harvey; the feminist interventions of Massey and Rose; and essay collections edited by Sibley, Duncan, Watson and Gibson, Keith and Pile, and Crang and Thrift. See Philo for a reading of Foucault’s contribution to this movement, and Vidler and Wigley for a parallel tendency within architectural theory. 3 Massey makes a similar point in her critique of Harvey and Soja (235). 4 Geographer Linda McDowell argues that a ‘spatialized’ feminist politics that wishes to avoid the problem of essentialism must reimagine both space and gender as ‘a network of relations, unbounded and unstable’ (36). McDowell specifically defines this reimagining of space as a problem for feminist standpoint epistemologies and cites Haraway’s intervention in standpoint theories, in Haraway’s essay on ‘Situated Knowledges’ (McDowell 35–6; Haraway 195–6). 5 See Ezra Pound’s attacks on romantic sentimentality (Literary Essays of Ezra Pound 11–12); Zach analyses Pound’s gendered metaphors of ‘soft’ romanti- cism vs. -
Gender, Sexual Identity, and Work in Dominica and Beyond Bill Maurer
Sexualities and Separate Spheres: Gender, Sexual Identity, and Work in Dominica and Beyond Bill Maurer In 1988 I wrote an essay on the conceptual vocabularies of sexuality and work in Dominica, a small island in the eastern Caribbean. That essay began with a critique of the public/domestic dichotomy in the literature on women in Caribbean development. The crux of my argument was that the way some researchers had deployed the public/domestic analytic natural ized sexuality by locating it in the "private" domain of procreation and thus removed from view the relationship between the devaluation of women's sexuality and the devaluation of women's work (Maurer 1991). I was attempting to outline the shortcomings of feminist scholarship that had explored Michelle Rosaldo's (1974) proposal that the public/domestic dichotomy should prove a useful device for looking at gender inequality cross-culturally, and I was interested in bringing the dichotomy to bear on the issue of sexuality, a theme not explored in Rosaldo's work or in any feminist work following in her footsteps. This essay represents an attempt to rethink the utility of the public/domestic dichotomy for the study of the production of sexualities. The public/domestic dichotomy structures Dominican people's under standings of both sexuality and work. But, since the dichotomy is hege monic for both Caribbean peoples and the analysts who study them, it has tended to be used in Caribbeanist scholarship as a mirror of the "facts" of gender, sexuality, and work. Without really questioning these facts them selves, analysts ended up replicating the very essentialisms Rosaldo was trying to destabilize. -

Victorian Values and Women in Public and Private
Proceedings of the British Academy 78, 195-215 Victorian Values and Women in Public and Private ANNE DIGBY Oxford Polytechnic THEtheme of this paper1 is the Victorian ideological divide between the public sphere (viewed as a masculine domain concerned with paid work and national politics), and the private sphere (viewed as a female domain concerned with home and family). These contrasts were in some respects ancient ones: the political dimension of public masculine persons and private female persons going back at least to Aristotle.2 Dichotomies of this kind have had varying force in different historical periods. This paper will suggest that both the ideology and its practical application had particular significance during the Victorian period and the years that immediately followed. A social construction of gender created gendered dualisms of which private and public was but one. Others included personal and political; nature and culture; biology and intellect; work and leisure; intellect and intuition; rationality and emotionality; and morality and power. Do we need these kinds of female / male oppositions? They involve types of shorthand statements of gendered Victorian values that have been taken over by students of the period. But whilst they impose order they may Read 14 December 1990. 0The British Academy 1992. I should like to thank Charles Feinstein, Jane Ribbens, the members of the Oxford Women’s History Group, and those attending the Conference on Victorian Values in Edinburgh, for their very helpful comments on earlier versions of this paper. * J.B.
