Описание: Andrew Jackson’s presidency and legacy have been the subject of much study. His career and life, particularly his actions as America’s seventh president, still reverberate in our culture today. Yet Amos Kiewe mounts a groundbreaking intervention into Jackson studies by focusing his critical lens on a little-studied aspect of the populist leader’s 1828 campaign and subsequent presidency: his creative use of the press. Jackson was a force for reinvention, cannily directing his speeches — like no previous candidate — to the public at large, and garnering unprecedented newspaper coverage throughout his campaign and time in office. By focusing on public addresses, Kiewe is able to trace Jackson’s rhetorical political manoeuvring through his early campaign and the major trials of his presidency.With nuance and deep examination of Jackson’s rhetoric, Kiewe dispels the myth that Jackson was not an articulate writer, thereby clarifying historical perceptions of his presidency and relationship to the public at large. Tracing Jackson’s initial plans for the presidency through his campaign and early time in office, Kiewe sheds light on Jackson’s ambitions, viewpoints, and strategies and deepens the scholarship on the Tennessee soldier and statesman.Andrew Jackson: A Rhetorical Portrayal of Presidential Leadership offers significant insight into one of America’s most famous—and infamous—presidents, and adds new and critical information to the study of rhetoric and politics in the United States.

Автор: Christiana Spens Название: The Portrayal and Punishment of Terrorists in Western Media ISBN: 3030048810 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783030048815 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 69870.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book explores how terrorists have been portrayed in the Western media, and the wider ideological and social functions of those representations. Developing a theory of scapegoating related to narrative closure, as well as an integrated, genealogical method of intervisuality, the book proposes a new way of thinking about how political images achieve power and influence the public. By connecting modern portrayals of terrorists (post-9/11) with historical and fictional images of villains from Western cultural history, the book argues that the portrayal and punishment of terrorists in the Western media implicitly perpetuates neo-Orientalist attitudes. It also explains that by repeating these narrative patterns through a ritual of scapegoating, Western media coverage of terrorists partakes in a social process that uses punishment, dehumanization and colonialist ideas to purge the iconic ‘villain’, so as to build national unity and sustain hegemonic power following crisis.

Автор: Chad Tew Название: Clash in Paradise: Understanding Latinos in Hollywood Film ISBN: 082644007X ISBN-13(EAN): 9780826440075 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Цена: 47520.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Hollywood films often "cue" Latin American audiences to interpret media texts in ways that would not be fully appreciated by a U.S. audience. For example, in 1952 a U.S. audience seeing High Noonwould have watched as the lawman "Will Kane," Gary Cooper, stood alone and defended a town of righteous cowards as a matter of principle. They might have connected the scenario with the struggle against McCarthyism (1950-1954) that was ongoing. In contrast, the majority of Latin American viewers unfamiliar with McCarthyism might simply have seen the film on a "mythic" level as a struggle between good and evil. But Latin American audiences would have also noticed the first time a Mexican woman, "Helen Ramirez," played by Katy Jurado, was on equal or superior moral footing with the white woman "Amy Fowler," Grace Kelly. In the film it was Helen who gave Amy a lesson on how to stand by her man Kane. Films about Latino life, argue authors Chad Tew and John Marambio, reveal symptoms of the crisis behind the ongoing national debate about immigration in the United States. The idea of 'Paradise' is the primary meta-narrative used to construct the United States in Hollywood films. In Clash in Paradise, the authors show how these films simultaneously contain conflicting narratives about human movement across borders and the struggle over who has the right to live in paradise. These conflicting narratives within Hollywood films result in a sense of confusion and misunderstanding that runs between both communities.The authors conceptualize how communication between ethnic and cultural communities can be achieved through movies and other popular culture media, such as crossover Latino music, and the reasons why sometimes communities fail to understand the others' point of view. Clash in Paradise provides a timely and incisive overview of the myriad ways in which portrayals of Latino life in Hollywood films impact upon the realities of life in the US for immigrants.

Gordon Название: Village of Immigrants: Latinos in an Emerging America ISBN: 0813575907 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780813575902 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 24950.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Greenport, New York, a village on the North Fork of Long Island, has become an exemplar of a little-noted national trend - immigrants spreading beyond the big coastal cities, driving much of rural population growth nationally. In Village of Immigrants Diana R. Gordon illustrates how small-town America has been revitalized by the arrival of these immigrants.
Latinos constitute the fastest-growing and largest ethnic minority in the United States, yet less than one percent of network news coverage deals with Latinos as the focus of a story. Out of that one percent, even fewer stories are positive in either content or tone. Author of the acclaimed Brown Tide Rising: Metaphors of Latinos in Contemporary American Public Discourse, Otto Santa Ana has completed a comprehensive analysis of this situation, blending quantitative research with semiotic readings and ultimately applying cognitive science and humanist theory to explain the repercussions of this marginal, negative coverage.
Santa Ana’s choice of network evening news as the foundation for Juan in a Hundred is significant because that medium is currently the single most authoritative and influential source of opinion-generating content. In his 2004 research, Santa Ana calculated that among approximately 12,000 stories airing across four networks (ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC), only 118 dealt with Latinos, a ratio that has remained stagnant over the past fifteen years. Examining the content of the stories, from briefs to features, reveals that Latino-tagged events are apparently only broadcast when national politics or human calamity are involved, and even then, the Latino issue is often tangential to a news story as a whole. On global events involving Latin America, U.S. networks often remain silent while BBC correspondents prepare fully developed, humanizing coverage. The book concludes by demonstrating how this obscurity and misinformation perpetuate maligned perceptions about Latinos. Santa Ana’s inspiring calls for reform are poised to change the face of network news in America.
Автор: Stavans, Ilan Название: Latinos in the United States ISBN: 0190670185 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780190670184 Издательство: Oxford Academ Рейтинг: Цена: 11610.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: As the largest and youngest minority group in the United States, the 60 million Latinos living in the U.S. represent the second-largest concentration of Hispanic people in the entire world, after Mexico. Needless to say, the population of Latinos in the U.S. is causing a shift, not only changing the demographic landscape of the country, but also impacting national culture, politics, and spoken language. While Latinos comprise a diverse minority group -- with various religious beliefs, political ideologies, and social values-commentators on both sides of the political divide have lumped Latino Americans into a homogenous group that is often misunderstood. Latinos in the United States: What Everyone Needs to Know(R) provides a wide-ranging, multifaceted exploration of Latino American history and culture, as well as the forces shaping this minority group in the U.S. From exploring the origins of the term "Latino" and examining what constitutes Latin America, to tracing topical issues like DREAMers, the mass incarceration of Latino males, and the controversial relationship between Latin America and the United States, Ilan Stavans seeks to understand the complexities and unique position of Latino Americans. Throughout he breaks down the various subgroups within the Latino minority (Mexican-Americans, Dominican-Americans, Cuban-Americans, Puerto Ricans on the mainland, and so on), and the degree to which these groups constitute -- or don't -- a homogenous community, their history, and where their future challenges lie. Stavans, one of the world's foremost authorities on global Hispanic civilization, sees Latino culture as undergoing dramatic changes as a result of acculturation, changes that are fostering a new "mestizo" identity that is part Hispanic and part American. However, Latinos living in the United States are also impacting American culture. As Ilan Stavans argues, no other minority group will have a more decisive impact on the future of the United States.

Описание: This book explores the representation of American Roma from the nineteenth-century to today by examining portrayals in newsprint, television, movies, and social media.
Father Knows Best is a prime example of how society once viewed the ideal family; The Jeffersons and Good Times were examples of how the media viewed black families. The television audience watched and accepted these early television shows without much consideration for the cultural and racial messages transmitted by these sit-coms. At that time, the impact of media/television upon the behaviors and attitudes of viewing audiences, blacks and whites, was not well researched. The idea that the media was a mechanism through which one's self-esteem could be validated or devalued, was a shock to the American consciousness.
In Black Portrayals Matter, Ralph Cuffeea Allsopp examines racial stereotyping in the media--from Amos n' Andy to the rise of the first black superhero; from black actors cast as Presidents to the tragic portrayals of O.J. Simpson, Trayvon Martin, and Rodney King--as well as the psychological effect of black role models on black-white children and adults.
