Abstract

Doelstellingen: Dit werk onderzoekt in welke mate de Amerikaanse oorlogspropaganda uit de Eerste Wereldoorlog en de Irak-oorlog overgenomen is in artikels in de Amerikaanse kwaliteitskrant The New York Times. Hiervoor werden honderd krantenartikels uit The New York Times verzameld. Vijftig hiervan behandelen de Eerste Wereldoorlog en de andere vijftig de Irak-oorlog. Deze artikels werden geanalyseerd aan de hand van de principes van Carpentier (1999) en Ponsonby (1928). Middelen of methode: Dit onderzoek is gebaseerd op de procedure die door Meyer & Wodak (2001) uitgestippeld werd. Eerst werd er achtergrondinformatie over de betreffende oorlogen en over The New York Times opgezocht, vervolgens werden er krantenartikels verzameld, hierna werden de oorlogsprincipes van Carpentier en de oorlogsgeboden van Ponsonby bestudeerd en geanalyseerd. Ten slotte werden de artikels geanalyseerd aan de hand van de principes van Carpentier (1999) en aan de hand van Morelli's (2003) analyse van de oorlogsgeboden van Ponsonby (1928). Resultaten: Uit dit onderzoek is gebleken dat de Amerikaanse oorlogspropaganda zowel in de krantenartikels over de Eerste Wereldoorlog, als in die over de Irak-oorlog in relatief sterke mate overgenomen werd door de journalisten van The New York Times. In de artikels over de Eerste Wereldoorlog werden er echter een aantal principes van zowel Carpentier (1999) als van Ponsonby (1928) niet of in beperkte mate teruggevonden. Het moderne principe virtualisering werd in geen enkel artikel van het corpus teruggevonden, aangezien dit een typisch principe voor het digitale tijdperk is en betrekking heeft op visuele media. Verder werden er weinig voorbeelden van personificatie teruggevonden. Ook werd Ponsonby's achtste oorlogsgebod waarin de steun van kunstenaars en intellectuelen wordt benadrukt, slechts in beperkte mate en gedeeltelijk teruggevonden in zowel de artikels over WOI, als in die over de Irak-oorlog. Het tiende oorlogsgebod dat de twijfelaars van de propaganda als verraders beschouwt, werd ook niet teruggevonden in de artikels over WOI. In de artikels over de Irak-oorlog was er meer plaats voor kritiek van zowel journalisten als van externen, en kwamen de opinies van tegenstanders van de VS uitgebreider aan bod. De artikels over de Eerste Wereldoorlog beperkten zich hoofdzakelijk tot de publicatie van de officiële militaire rapporten van beide kampen in de oorlog. Er kan dus aangenomen worden dat de Amerikaanse oorlogspropaganda tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog in mindere mate gecontesteerd werd door de journalisten van The New York Times dan tijdens de Irak-oorlog.

Abstract

The Danger of Music gathers some two decades of Richard Taruskin's writing on the arts and politics, ranging in approach from occasional pieces for major newspapers such as the New York Times to full-scale critical essays for leading intellectual journals. Hard-hitting, provocative, and incisive, these essays consider contemporary composition and performance, the role of critics and historians in the life of the arts, and the fraught terrain where ethics and aesthetics interact and at times conflict. Many of the works collected here have themselves excited wide debate, including the title essay, which considers the rights and obligations of artists in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In a series of lively postscripts written especially for this volume, Taruskin, America's "public" musicologist, addresses the debates he has stirred up by insisting that art is not a utopian escape and that artists inhabit the same world as the rest of society. Among the book's forty-two essays are two public addresses-one about the prospects for classical music at the end of the second millennium C. E., the other a revisiting of the performance issues previously discussed in the author's Text and Act (1995)-that appear in print for the first time.

Abstract

After Adolph Ochs purchased The New York Times in 1896, Zionism and the eventual reality of the State of Israel were framed within his guiding principle, embraced by his Sulzberger family successor, that Judaism is a religion and not a national identity. Apprehensive lest the loyalty of American Jews to the United States be undermined by the existence of a Jewish state, they adopted an anti-Zionist critique that remained embedded in its editorials, on the Opinion page and in its news coverage. Through the examination of evidence drawn from its own pages, this book analyzes how all the news "fit to print" became news that fit the Times' discomfort with the idea, and since 1948 the reality, of a thriving democratic Jewish state in the historic homeland of the Jewish people.

Abstract

In this lively and provocative book, cultural critic Marjorie Garber, who has written on topics as different as Shakespeare, dogs, cross-dressing, and real estate, explores the pleasures and pitfalls of the academic life. Academic Instincts discusses three of the perennial issues that have surfaced in recent debates about the humanities: the relation between "amateurs" and "professionals," the relation between one academic discipline and another, and the relation between "jargon" and "plain language." Rather than merely taking sides, the book explores the ways in which such debates are essential to intellectual life. Garber argues that the very things deplored or defended in discussions of the humanities cannot be either eliminated or endorsed because the discussion itself is what gives humanistic thought its vitality. Written in spirited and vivid prose, and full of telling detail drawn both from the history of scholarship and from the daily press, Academic Instincts is a book by a well-known Shakespeare scholar and prize-winning teacher who offers analysis rather than polemic to explain why today's teachers and scholars are at once breaking new ground and treading familiar paths. It opens the door to an important nationwide and worldwide conversation about the reorganization of knowledge and the categories in and through which we teach the humanities. And it does so in a spirit both generous and optimistic about the present and the future of these disciplines.

Abstract

"Intro to Poetry Writing is always like this: a long labor, a breech birth, or, obversely, mining in the dark. You take healthy young Americans used to sunshine (aided sometimes by Xanax and Adderall), you blindfold them and lead them by the hand into a labyrinth made from bones. Then you tell them their assignment: 'Find the Grail. You have a New York minute to get it.'"--The Poetry Lesson The Poetry Lesson is a hilarious account of the first day of a creative writing course taught by a "typical fin-de-siècle salaried beatnik"--one with an antic imagination, an outsized personality and libido, and an endless store of entertaining literary anecdotes, reliable or otherwise. Neither a novel nor a memoir but mimicking aspects of each, The Poetry Lesson is pure Andrei Codrescu: irreverent, unconventional, brilliant, and always funny. Codrescu takes readers into the strange classroom and even stranger mind of a poet and English professor on the eve of retirement as he begins to teach his final semester of Intro to Poetry Writing. As he introduces his students to THE TOOLS OF POETRY (a list that includes a goatskin dream notebook, hypnosis, and cable TV) and THE TEN MUSES OF POETRY (mishearing, misunderstanding, mistranslating . . . ), and assigns each of them a tutelary "Ghost-Companion" poet, the teacher recalls wild tales from his coming of age as a poet in the 1960's and 1970's, even as he speculates about the lives and poetic and sexual potential of his twenty-first-century students. From arguing that Allen Ginsberg wasn't actually gay to telling about the time William Burroughs's funeral procession stopped at McDonald's, The Poetry Lesson is a thoroughly entertaining portrait of an inimitable poet, teacher, and storyteller.

Abstract

A powerful personal narrative of recovery and an illuminating philosophical exploration of traumaOn July 4, 1990, while on a morning walk in southern France, Susan Brison was attacked from behind, severely beaten, sexually assaulted, strangled to unconsciousness, and left for dead. She survived, but her world was destroyed. Her training as a philosopher could not help her make sense of things, and many of her fundamental assumptions about the nature of the self and the world it inhabits were shattered.At once a personal narrative of recovery and a philosophical exploration of trauma, this bravely and beautifully written book examines the undoing and remaking of a self in the aftermath of violence. It explores, from an interdisciplinary perspective, memory and truth, identity and self, autonomy and community. It offers imaginative access to the experience of a rape survivor as well as a reflective critique of a society in which women routinely fear and suffer sexual violence.As Brison observes, trauma disrupts memory, severs past from present, and incapacitates the ability to envision a future. Yet the act of bearing witness, she argues, facilitates recovery by integrating the experience into the survivor's life's story. She also argues for the importance, as well as the hazards, of using first-person narratives in understanding not only trauma, but also larger philosophical questions about what we can know and how we should live.
