J.C. Painter letter to Benjamin Lundy
No full textLetter from J.E. Painter to (presumably) Benjamin Lundy, answering a request for information about the history and operations of the Underground Railroad. Letter includes details of a story of an ex-slave transported on the Underground Railroad through Ohio and stories of the plight of other fugitive slaves crossing the Ohio River.
Benjamin Lundy (1789-1839) was a prominent Quaker abolitionist best known for his development of abolitionist periodicals. His "Genius of Universal Emancipation" was first published in 1821 from his home in Mt. Pleasant, Ohio, and enjoyed a wide circulation across the antebellum United States. In the 1820s, the young William Lloyd Garrison came to work for The Genius. Benjamin Lundy traveled widely seeking subscriptions to The Genius, giving talks about the anti-slavery movement, and observing and documenting the conditions of enslaved people across the Americas. He was also involved in the establishment of freed slave colonies in Mexico

John Carpenter\u27s letal nightmare projected in Walter Benjamin\u27s studies
No full textNossa proposta visa retomar os estudos de Walter Benjamin para verificar se ainda são atuais e recorrentes algumas de suas temáticas nas mais diferentes áreas da produção cultural massiva e midiática. Neste artigo, escolhemos três temas tratados por Benjamin, o da aura, o da coleção e o da experiência, para discutirmos um exemplo da produção audiovisual contemporânea, o telefilme de horror Pesadelo mortal, do cineasta John Carpenter, feito para a série Mestres do Terror, em 2005. Consideramos pertinente essa discussão não só porque favorece um debate maior sobre os gostos e os repertórios estéticos na cultura midiática, vista como um espaço de mediação entre o massivo e o popular, mas porque possibilita também, através do estudo de um caso exemplar do audiovisual contemporâneo – um filme de gênero dirigido por um cineasta autoral para uma série de televisão –, a revisão e a atualização dos estudos culturais e da teoria da cultura de massa, através de um de seus principais pensadores.Our proposal aims to resume the studies of Walter Benjamin to verify that applicants are still present and some of their themes in different areas of cultural production and mass media. In this paper we choose three themes studied by Benjamin, the aura, the collection and the experience, to discuss an example of contemporary audiovisual production, the horror film Cigarette Burns, by the filmmaker John Carpenter, made for the series Masters of Terror, in 2005. We consider this relevant discussion not only because it favors a larger debate about the aesthetic tastes and repertoires in media culture, seen as a mediator between the massive and popular, but also because it enables the revision and updating of cultural studies and theory of mass culture, through one of its leading thinkers, by studying a relevant example of contemporary audiovisual - a genre film directed by an author filmmaker for a television series

Legacies of Participation: How Civil Society and Petitions Shape Legislative Institutions, Public Policy, and Representation
No full textThis dissertation explores how mass civil society and political activism have helped shape legislative institutions, public policy, and representation. In each chapter, my co-authors and I leverage newly created datasets to investigate the historical links between mass political behavior, particularly by exercise of the right to petition enshrined in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and the U.S. Congress.
The first essay, co-authored with Benjamin Schneer (Harvard Kennedy School), examines the link between mass civil society groups and policy outcomes by analyzing the opposition to national prohibition by German-American associations in the early twentieth century. Using historical club directories, petitioning activity, and newspaper directories to measure German-American civil society across time and geography, we find a rapid decline in organizational strength that coincided with anti-German hysteria and state-sponsored suppression efforts related to U.S. entry to World War I. We then compare two crucial votes on near-identical proposed constitutional amendments in the U.S. House of Representatives---the narrow defeat of the 1914 Hobson Prohibition amendment and the successful passage of the eventual Eighteenth Amendment in 1917---and find that efforts at suppression mattered most in districts where German-American organizational strength had previously been pivotal. We estimate that, without the suppression of German-American organizations, the Prohibition Amendment would not have passed the House of Representatives. Our findings add to an understanding of when and under what circumstances groups and organizations successfully influence public policy and provide a new explanation for the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment.
The second essay, co-authored with Benjamin Schneer, Maggie Blackhawk (NYU School of Law), and Daniel Carpenter (Harvard University), investigates committee formation in early American legislatures, which occurred at the same time as those assemblies were inundated with petitions. We present case studies and analyze original datasets of petitions sent to the Virginia House of Burgesses (1766--1769) and of petitions sent to the House of Representatives (1789--1875) to support our model-derived claims that petitions, complexity of their subject matter, and their geographic dispersion predict committee creation. Our theoretical argument helps reinterpret the entropy of political agendas and the origins of standing committees in American legislatures.
In the third essay, also co-authored with Benjamin Schneer, Maggie Blackhawk, and Daniel Carpenter, we introduce and analyze the Congressional Petitions Database (CPD), which tracks virtually every petition introduced to Congress from 1789 to 1949. We present analyses to show that Native Americans and women not only petitioned regularly, but also that the initial treatment of their respective petitions was similar to that of all others, thus offering systematic evidence of the petition serving as a mechanism for representation among otherwise unenfranchised groups
