Machine made: Irish America, Tammany Hall, and the creation of modern New York politics
No full textAlthough Tammany Hall was founded as a social club just after the American Revolution, it exists in memory as the quintessential American political machine, run by and for Irish-American political operatives more concerned with power than ideas. This dissertation seeks to re-interpret Tammany in the context of a transatlantic Irish experience of hunger, dislocation, and alienation. Irish immigrants brought with them distinct political narratives which were incorporated into Tammany Hall’s pragmatic but progressive ideology during the first quarter of the 20th Century. These political narratives, centered on the experience of powerlessness and oppression in Ireland and inextricably linked to Catholicism, led Irish immigrants to regard reformers in New York as American versions of their traditional enemies, the well-born Anglo-Protestant. The Irish arrived in New York with an understanding of the power of mass politics thanks to Daniel O’Connell’s campaign for Catholic Emancipation in the 1820s. Few studies of Tammany Hall attempt to link O’Connell’s mobilization of the Irish peasantry to Tammany’s ability to turn out the vote, especially after the Famine exodus of 1845-52. Likewise, the critical role of John Hughes, the first Catholic archbishop of New York and a native of Ireland, remains outside the story of Irish-American politics, despite the key role he played in organizing the Irish vote behind transatlantic grievances. This dissertation seeks to show how a particularly Irish experience in both Ireland and New York helped to mobilize a new kind of politics which emphasized cultural pluralism, populist rhetoric, and practical solutions to social injustice. A child of a Famine immigrant, Charles Francis Murphy, transformed Tammany into a force for social change during the Progressive Era. Murphy’s forgotten role in nurturing politicians such as Alfred E. Smith and Robert Wagner has been forgotten, but this dissertation will show that his embrace of change helped set the stage for the rise of Franklin Roosevelt and the implementation of the New Deal.Ph.

"Ut pictura movens poesis": Análisis transversal de la obra de Bill Viola y Terrence Malick
No full textThe work of the video artist Bill Viola and the film director Terrence Malick has not been interrelated thus far. But this research will prove that the significant parallelisms about the poetic treatment of the image, the conceptual basis and the philosophical background are not the result of a mere coincidence. Worries about topics conforming both author?s worlds of fantasy, as well as audiovisual sources, are in both cases entirely similar

In addition, the film is reviewed from a Christian perspective, where Malick shows us the origin of the universe and the afterlife, as well as the inter-family relationships of a Texas family in the 1950s. Likewise, the film is an intimate and cathartic look to the childhood and origin of the director himself.

The Role of Social Media in Supporting U.S. Citizens’ Trust in Government
No full textAbstract
This qualitative study was designed to examine citizen trust in government relations. Data consisted of information from 23 semistructured interviews from 14 consumers/clients and 9 information technology coordinators in Oakland, California participating in a 501 C3 nonprofit agency and 2019 Pew Center surveys. Data were analyzed using content analysis and cross-verified through the process of data source triangulation. Results of each group interviews in comparison to survey results from the Pew Research Center’s 2019 Trust and Distrust in America study indicated that participants demonstrated trust in social media platforms, and these platforms informed participants’ views on their trust in government. Both the interviews and surveys from the Pew Research Center Trust and Distrust in America data indicated social media platforms may be useful in enhancing trust in government, with considerations made for how communication was structured and relationships building. Overall, the data sources suggested that with more government information disseminating online through the public communicating directly with government officials and politicians, citizen trust in government possibly could be improved. Moreover, direct interactions between the agent and the principal, such as through social media platforms, may increase perceptions of trust and enhance citizen–government relations. This trust is predicated on using principal–agent theory to gauge authenticity of those officials or politicians on the other end of the social media platform. Knowledge from this study may be useful for governments, policymakers, and citizens to enhance trust in citizen-government relations resulting in positive social change
Flying the frontier: a case study comparison of newspaper coverage of early northern plane crashes
No full textThesis (M.A.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2019From the early days of Alaskan aviation beginning in 1923, stories about Alaskan bush pilots leapt from newspaper pages, captivating readers and selling papers. These newspaper stories, along with magazine articles and other popular culture media accounts, portrayed pilots as pioneers, cowboys and brave adventurers, and referred to Alaska in terms heavily laden with American frontier imagery, a trend that persisted in Alaska but faded elsewhere. What did newspaper reports convey about the lives and deaths of these aviators and their relationships to Alaska and the frontier? How has the portrayal of these early Alaskan pilots in ways that perpetuated frontier mythology affected attitudes toward Alaska's aviation industry? This research employs case study comparisons to approach these questions, evaluating tone and language of early news coverage about Alaska aviation from its advent in 1923 until early 1948 and exploring the origins of the modern American media's portrayal of the Alaska aviation industry. I argue that these early bush pilots captivated the American public because they lived and worked at the intersection of two frontiers: Alaska as The Last Frontier, and at the dawn of the air-age, the sky as a new frontier.1.
