The DOD commemorative focus is fourfold:(1) to demonstrate the role and relationships of the military in national government; (2) to provide educational and historical lessons for soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, their families, and civilian employees; (3) to instill a sense of the commitment, values, leadership, and public service of the 23 soldier-statesman signers; and (4) to emphasize civilian control over the military. A thorough discussion of the constitutional provisions for the establishment of the first Congress, the Departments of War and Army, and the Office of the President and Commander in Chief is presented. The military service records of the 23 men who served both in the armed services and as president are given, along with a collection of their memorable quotes. The major DOD commemorative programs are: (1) the Constitutional Commitment Program, emphasizing education and oath reaffirmation; (2) the Bicentennial Defense Community Program, listing the participating defense communities; (3) the Exceptional Merit Recognition Program, with a listing of the 76 commemorative programs so chosen; and (4) the Adopt-A-School Program, an investment in enriching the educational process through defense organization participation. Several activities and ceremonies are recommended. Lists of resource materials and commemorative items are provided. A 1989 calendar inscribed with the daily events of the year 1789 is also included.

As military or civilian representatives of the Armed Forces of the United States, our first official act when we enlist or accept commissions of federal appointments is to swear an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. This act makes us unique from most Americans. Why? Because only federal government personnel including military and civilian, as well as elected and appointed officialsswear this oath to support and defend the very fabric of our government and way of life. This, our first duty to the Nation, is stated in the Preamble: "to provide for the common defence." Providing for the common defense is clearly interrelated to the last goal stated in the Preamble of the Constitution which is to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. Most assuredly, these two goals of national defense and liberty relate directly to ensuring a stable world environment under freedom. Telling the great story of the Constitution represents the wisest investment in a future whose generations will continue to understand and appreciate, as well as enjoy, those blessings which have been bestowed upon them during the last two centuries. George Mason, author of the Virginia Declaration of Rights, said that if a free people do not look back at their rights and how they secured them, they take the risk of losing them. Understandably, the Department of Defense is committed to telling this great story of liberty and to honoring this magnificent document of freedom. "What is honored ina country will be cultivated there."

A Presidential Commission has been established to oversee the national commemoration through 1991. Headquarters, Department of the Army, has executive agent responsibility for the Department of Defense program. The plan is to weave the thread of the Constitution throughout various programs and activities conducted during the Bicentennial period to include Armed Forces Day, Service Birthdays, Independence Day, Organization Day, Memorial Day, Veteran's Day, and Constitution Week. The Department of Defense commemorative focus is fourfold: (1) To demonstrate the role and relationships of military in National Government. (2) To provide educational and historical lessons for soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, their families and civilian employees. (3) To instill a sense of commitment, values, leadership, and public service of the 23 Soldier-Statesman Signers. (4) To emphasize civilian control over the military. In 1987, to launch the five-year commemoration, the framing and signing of the Constitution were highlighted with particular focus on twenty-three of the forty signers who were veterans of the Revolutionary War. In 1988, the annual theme focused on ratification of the formidable document, the anniversaries of the statesas they joined the Union, and 200 years of Soldier-Statesman leadership and service in state and local governments. To continue the momentum of the commemoration, the following Department of Defense Bicentennial Year Themes have been established: 1989: The Establishment of the Federal Government and National Defense. In 1789 the first Congress was convened, George Washington was inauguratedas the First President and Commander in Chief, the Department of Warwas established, as were the Department of the Army and the United States Supreme Court. This year's commemorative theme focuses on the Presidents who served in the Armed Forces. 1990: The Establishment of the Judiciary. The first session of the United States Supreme Court was held in 1790. This year's commemorative theme will focus on the role of law, specifically the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and members of the federal and state Judiciary who have served in the military. 1991: The Adoption of the Bill of Rights. The first ten amendments to the Constitution, known as the Bill of Rights, were ratified by Congress in 1791. This year focuses on the ratification of the Bill of Rights, the amendment process which makes the Constitution a "living document," and on Soldier-Statesman leadership and service in the Congress during the last two centuries. 1 INTRODUCTION The first two years of the five-year Bicentennial of the United States

  • The Sexual Landscape of Celestina: Some Observations
    THE SEXUAL LANDSCAPE OF CELESTINA: SOME OBSERVATIONS Joseph T. Snow Michigan State University elestina is near-universally acknowledged as a great, compelling work of literature; for many it is a masterpiece in the same league Cas Cervantes' Don Quijote. I endorse these claims. After all, it is a work that—like the Quijote—has been much copied and imitated, trans­ lated, rendered into verse, theatrical, musical, operatic and balletic adap­ tations, edited in many guises for distinct groups of readers (sometimes expurgated and sometimes bowdlerized) and, as well, illustrated in prac­ tically every popular format since its initial appearance in 1499, a little more now than half a millennium ago: woodcuts, oils, statuary, porce­ lain, pen and ink, copperplate, lithograph, watercolor, filmstrip, film and video. And I know this to be an incomplete summary of the forms which Celestina's survival as a classic have taken.1 Celestina was almost assuredly not conceived on a grand scale: it emerged from the seething crucible of criss-crossing ideas in the univer­ sity town of Salamanca in the late 1490s. Its characters negotiate a con­ fined urban space, busy with private affairs of no seeming transcendence. The lapsed time of its actions varies—according to the reading given it— from a mere three days (in the 16-act Comedia version) to somewhat longer than the month by which it was extended through later interpolations (re-baptized the Tragicomedia). Furthermore, its basic plot line—as nar­ rated in the Argumento—is unremarkable. The work's stated didactic intention: "compuesta en reprehension de los locos enamorados que, vencidos en su desordenado apetito, a sus amigas llaman y dizen ser su dios.

It is observed on September 17, the day the United States Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution in 1787. CONSTITUTION DAY AND CITIZENSHIP DAY, CONSTITUTION WEEK, 2014 BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION Eleven years after a small band of patriots declared the independence of our new Nation, our Framers set out to refine the promise of liberty and codify the principles of our Republic. Though the topics were contentious and the debate fierce, the delegates' shared ideals and commitment to a more perfect Union yielded compromise. Signed on September 17, 1787, our Constitution enshrined -- in parchment and in the heart of our young country -- the foundation of justice, equality, dignity, and fairness, and became the cornerstone of the world's oldest constitutional democracy. For more than two centuries, our founding charter has guided our progress and defined us as a people.

  • Loud Proud Passion and Politics in the English Defence League Makes Us Confront the Complexities of Anti-Islamist/Anti-Muslim Fervor
    New Ethnographies ‘These voices of English nationalism make for difficult listening. The great strength of Hilary PILKINGTON Pilkington’s unflinching ethnography is her capacity to confound and challenge our political and preconceptions and makes us think harder. This is an important, difficult and brave book.’ Les Back, Professor of Sociology, Goldsmiths, University of London ‘Pilkington offers fresh and crucial insights into the politics of fear. Her unflinchingly honest depiction of the EDL breaks apart stereotypes of rightist activists as simply dupes, thugs, and racists and Loud proud PASSION AND POLITICS IN THE ENGLISH DEFENCE LEAGUE makes us confront the complexities of anti-Islamist/anti-Muslim fervor. This terrific, compelling book is a must-read for scholars and readers concerned about the global rise of populist movements on the right.’ Kathleen Blee, Distinguished Professor of Sociology, University of Pittsburgh Loud and proud uses interviews, informal conversations and extended observation at English Defence League events to critically reflect on the gap between the movement’s public image and activists’ own understandings of it. It details how activists construct the EDL and themselves as ‘not racist, not violent, just no longer silent’ through, among other things, the exclusion of Muslims as a possible object of racism on the grounds that they are a religiously not racially defined Loud group. In contrast, activists perceive themselves to be ‘second-class citizens’, disadvantaged and discriminated against by a two-tier justice system that privileges the rights of others. This failure to recognise themselves as a privileged white majority explains why ostensibly intimidating EDL street demonstrations marked by racist chanting and nationalistic flag waving are understood by activists as standing ‘loud and proud’; the only way of being heard in a political system governed by a politics of silencing.

  • Haiti Unbound a Spiralist Challenge to the Postcolonial Canon H
    HAITI UNBOUND A SPIRALIST CHALLENGE TO THE POSTCOLONIAL CANON H Both politically and in the fields of art and literature, Haiti has long been relegated to the margins of the so-called ‘New World’. Marked by exceptionalism, the voices of some of its AITI most important writers have consequently been muted by the geopolitical realities of the nation’s fraught history. In Haiti Unbound, Kaiama L. Glover offers a close look at the works of three such writers: the Haitian Spiralists Frankétienne, Jean-Claude Fignolé, and René Philoctète. While Spiralism has been acknowledged by scholars and regional writer- intellectuals alike as a crucial contribution to the French-speaking Caribbean literary tradition, the Spiralist ethic-aesthetic has not yet been given the sustained attention of a full-length U study. Glover’s book represents the first effort in any language to consider the works of the three Spiralist authors both individually and collectively, and so fills an astonishingly empty NBO place in the assessment of postcolonial Caribbean aesthetics. Touching on the role and destiny of Haiti in the Americas, Haiti Unbound engages with long- standing issues of imperialism and resistance culture in the transatlantic world. Glover’s timely project emphatically articulates Haiti’s regional and global centrality, combining vital ‘big picture’ reflections on the field of postcolonial studies with elegant analyses of the U philosophical perspective and creative practice of a distinctively Haitian literary phenomenon. Most importantly, perhaps, the book advocates for the inclusion of three largely unrecognized ND voices in the disturbingly fixed roster of writer-intellectuals who have thus far interested theorists of postcolonial (francophone) literature.

  • Commemorative Observances: a Chronological List
    Order Code 98-45 C Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Commemorative Observances: A Chronological List Updated February 12, 2003 Glenda Richardson Information Research Specialist Information Research Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Commemorative Observances: A Chronological List Summary Historically, national commemorative observances were often recommended by Congress through the legislative process. This practice was for the most part discontinued by the House of Representatives in January 1995, although the Senate continues to issue sense of the Senate resolutions recommending the establishment of commemoratives. It has now become standard practice for special observances to be designated by a proclamation issued by the President. A recent noteworthy departure from current congressional policy is P.L. 107-89, which designates September 11 as Patriot Day and calls upon the President to issue an annual proclamation calling on the American people to commemorate Patriot Day. This report is a chronological list of these proclamations for 2002 and 2003, indicating the proclamation number and its Federal Register citation. This report will be updated periodically during the year.
