Lessons From The Swiss Experience Of Nation-Building: Implications For Multi-National Societies In Conflict, Tatsushi Arai Feb 2016

Lessons From The Swiss Experience Of Nation-Building: Implications For Multi-National Societies In Conflict, Tatsushi Arai

Tatsushi Arai

This article explores lessons from the contemporary Swiss experience of nation-building as well as their applicability to conflict-affected multi-national societies searching for long-term visions of inter-communal coexistence. The question under study is how to define essential qualities of a collective historical experience capable of fostering mutually acceptable and sustainable way of coexistence among historically divided national communities. Field research in selected Swiss regions where the German-speaking majority coexists with the French, Italian, and/or Romansh-speaking minorities demonstrates that the highly synergistic, complementary nature of Swiss institutional arrangements (including multi-layered participatory governance that cuts across linguistic differences) and the deep-rooted cultures of …


Governing Countries: A Theory Of Subnational Regime Variation, Kelly M. Mcmann, John Gerring, Matthew Maguire, Michael Coppedge, Staffan I. Lindberg Feb 2016

Governing Countries: A Theory Of Subnational Regime Variation, Kelly M. Mcmann, John Gerring, Matthew Maguire, Michael Coppedge, Staffan I. Lindberg

Matthew Maguire

Studies of a small number of countries have revealed that both democratic and non-democratic subnational governments can exist within a single country. However, these works have neither demonstrated how common subnational regime variation is nor explained why some countries are more prone to it. This paper does both. Using Varieties of Democracy subnational data for countries of the world from 1900 to 2012, we show that subnational regime variation exists throughout all regions, in both unitary and federal states, and in both the present and past. The paper also demonstrates theoretically and empirically how social heterogeneity and factors undermining the …

Picturing The Past: Media, History, And Photography, Bonnie Brennen, Hanno Hardt Feb 2016

Picturing The Past: Media, History, And Photography, Bonnie Brennen, Hanno Hardt

Bonnie Brennen

Photographs shape not only what we remember but also how we remember. Picturing the Past explores the relations between photojournalism and history. Its contributors discuss dramatic changes in the American press's coverage of presidential death from McKinley through Kennedy and the curious distillation of enormous collections of photographs taken during cataclysmic events such as the Civil War and the Holocaust into a handful of images that have become cultural icons. Ranging from the idealization of American life in 1930s photojournalism to the issue of authenticity in documentary photography, these thought-provoking essays examine how photographs influence collective memory, generate a sense …

Newsworkers During The Interwar Era: A Critique Of Traditional Media History, Bonnie Brennen Feb 2016

Newsworkers During The Interwar Era: A Critique Of Traditional Media History, Bonnie Brennen

Bonnie Brennen

This essay offers an ideological critique of representations of United States newsworkers during the interwar period that have been presented in communication histories. Focusing on elements of structure, content, style, language, and absence, it explores the implications of a traditional liberal pluralist approach to media historiography. It suggests that although the role of newsworkers is central to understanding the political and economic development of the media, during this era, reporters are found to occupy a marginal role in conceptions of United States journalism history.


Persecuting Alex Rodriguez, Bonnie Brennen, Rick Brown Feb 2016

Persecuting Alex Rodriguez, Bonnie Brennen, Rick Brown

Bonnie Brennen

This qualitative textual analysis considers the US press coverage of Alex Rodriguez for his alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs. It evaluates nearly 500 newspaper, magazine and broadcast reports from 2007 to 2014 on Rodriguez, as well as reader and journalistic responses, and finds issues of overt and inferential racism, stereotyping and symbolic impurity, and a crude emphasis on money in the coverage. This research considers the ethics of the press coverage through a framework of Critical Race Theory and suggests an approach rooted in communitarian ethics to foster greater social justice and balance in sports media coverage.

La Tragedia De La Revolución Haitiana (The Tragedy Of The Haitian Revolution), Andrés Fabián Henao Castro Feb 2016

La Tragedia De La Revolución Haitiana (The Tragedy Of The Haitian Revolution), Andrés Fabián Henao Castro

Andrés Fabián Henao-Castro

La tesis de este artículo sugiere la tragedia como el género dramático que expresa y problematiza la brecha existente entre la liberación y la libertad, la brecha que caracteriza la eticidad de la post-colonialidad haitiana. Una doble ausencia estructura dicha brecha en el horizonte de la libertad, una que marca la primera afirmación de la libertad ilegible en la segunda o, en otras palabras, una que cuestiona la imposibilidad de traducir la liberación en la libertad de acuerdo a los términos constitutivos de una modernidad incapaz de confrontar la historia de su colonialidad.

Creating New Partnerships: Strategies For Growing Your Repository, Karen Bjork, Sue Kunda, David Isaak, Kay Vyhnanek

Sue Kunda

This presentation was given February 8 at Online NW 2013 in Corvallis, OR. Academic institutions, as well as private corporations, have taken on the responsibility of building institutional repositories in order to collect, manage, archive and provide access to the intellectual work taking place on their respective campuses. Over the years, building or procuring a repository has become fairly straightforward. Filling it hasn't. Convincing faculty and academic units to contribute their research and scholarship is still a struggle for most repository owners and requires equal parts determination, imagination and perspiration. Join four repository managers from OSU, PSU, WSU and Kaiser …


The Library As Publisher? Publishing At Portland State University And Oregon State University, Karen Bjork, Sue Kunda Feb 2016

The Library As Publisher? Publishing At Portland State University And Oregon State University, Karen Bjork, Sue Kunda

Sue Kunda

The traditional role of libraries as aggregators, curators and disseminators of resources has been profoundly challenged by the notion of libraries as publishers of content. The traditional publishing model is based on ownership, commerce, paid exchanges, and scholarship as a commodity. Libraries are based on a service model of sharing resources & free exchange. Academic libraries are therefore uniquely positioned to provide publishing solutions which can reduce student costs and provide faculty and students an alternative to traditional publishing. Both Portland State University (PSU) Library and Oregon State University Libraries and Press (OSULP) are providing a variety of publishing solutions …


Community Stories And Institutional Stewardship: Digital Curation’S Dual Roles Of Story Creation And Resource Preservation, Sue Kunda, Mark Anderson-Wilk Feb 2016

Community Stories And Institutional Stewardship: Digital Curation’S Dual Roles Of Story Creation And Resource Preservation, Sue Kunda, Mark Anderson-Wilk

Sue Kunda

Our institutions of record are facing a new digital knowledge management challenge: stakeholder communities are now expecting customized Web interfaces to institutional knowledge repositories, online environments where community members can contribute content and see themselves represented, as well as access archived resources. Digital curation can be used to address these knowledge management challenges. Digital curation must involve both digital asset preservation and the important value-added function of facilitating user understanding of and engagement with digital resources. This paper presents a model of digital curation that embraces both the digital preservation challenge and the community engagement challenge.


Myth: Hard Work And Credentials Determine Employment Opportunities Feb 2016

Myth: Hard Work And Credentials Determine Employment Opportunities

Alev Dudek

"The way one's career develops has little to do with what one went to school for, envisioned, or carefully planned. Careers generally result from coincidence. Regardless of these facts, job seekers are told to endure extensive career testing and planning, or they are asked to create artificial networks that seldom lead to more than frustration. They are given tests that allegedly determine which careers a particular individual would excel in and be a good fit for based on his or her skills and interests, as if the individual would not excel in other careers as much, or as if being …

Managing The Merger Of Archives And Special Collections: Setting Our Own Agenda., Caroline Daniels, Delinda Buie, Rachel Howard, Elizabeth Reilly

Rachel I. Howard

At the University of Louisville a merger of archives and special collections had been discussed for decades, but for a variety of reasons, always dismissed. There were practical reasons in favor of it, but there were some significant internal barriers that made it easier to keep things as they were. But in 2012 things changed. Heightened appreciation for the traditional and emerging roles of special collections in university libraries, institutional budget concerns, key retirements and gradual replacement of people resistant to change, and an inclusive approach to planning, all aligned to make the merger seem like a natural progression for …

50. “Where Were Your Clothes?” Eliciting Descriptions Of Clothing Placement From Children Alleging Sexual Abuse In Criminal Trials And Forensic Interviews., Stacia N. Stolzenberg, Thomas D. Lyon Feb 2016

50. “Where Were Your Clothes?” Eliciting Descriptions Of Clothing Placement From Children Alleging Sexual Abuse In Criminal Trials And Forensic Interviews., Stacia N. Stolzenberg, Thomas D. Lyon

Thomas D. Lyon

Purpose: The present study examined how children alleging sexual abuse are asked about clothing placement during abusive episodes, both in criminal trials and forensic interviews. The placement of clothing is of great importance, because it facilitates distinguishing abusive touch from non-abusive touch, as well as the severity of abuse when the touching is in fact sexual. If clothing has not been removed, then sexual abuse appears less likely and certain types of sexual contact are physically impossible (or at least highly improbable). Methods: We examined how trial attorneys (n = 142) and forensic interviewers in investigative interviews (n = 155) …
