Uncanny Indexes: Rotoshopped Interviews as Documentary
Get PDFThis article considers the several animated interviews made by Bob Sabiston between 1997 and 2007, and the implications of considering these films as documentaries. The author argues that the films are liminal, discursive texts that negotiate tensions between reality and make-believe, observation and interpretation, and presence and absence. Textual analysis of the short films in question demonstrates an aesthetic presentation that confirms their documentary status at the same time as exploiting the expressionistic potential of Rotoshop. The nature of Rotoshop also emphasizes the absence of the physical body of the interviewee, replacing it with an excessively present style of animation. Other conventional markers of documentary authenticity and evidence, such as the visual index, are also absent in these films.

The securitisation of the United Kingdom's maritime infrastructure during the 'war on terror'
Get PDFThis thesis examines counter-terrorism efforts in relation to the United Kingdom's ports and harbours (its 'maritime infrastructure') in the context of the 'war on terror'. To do this the thesis utilises the Copenhagen School's securitisation theory as the analytical frameowrk through which a case study, focusing on developments in a five year period between 1 July 2004 and 30 June 2009 and utilising the cases of Felixstowe, Holyhead and Tilbury, is undertaken. The thesis argues that UK maritime infrastructure was securitised in the context of the macrosecuritisation of the 'civilised way of life', which were in a mutually reinforcing relationship. By reorienting emphasis towards the 'post-securitised environment' and on to examining what securitisations 'do' in practice, the thesis subsequently demonstrates the substantial impact of securitisation on the management of UK maritime infrastructure. More specifically it argues that a counter-terrorism security response was evident which constantly evolved, was layered and increasingly expansive in scope and that had a series of prominent, recurring features. The thread which ran through this response was the pursuit of increased power in relation to UK maritime infrastructure, undertaken by the British state and port owners in particular. The thesis concludes by noting how the key findings of the case study progressively demonstrate a greater level of complexity to the securitisation of UK maritime infrastructure than can at first be apparent

PREFACE
The purpose of Phase II of the California State University Oral History
Project is to record and make available to researchers using the California
State University Archives the reminiscences of individuals who participated in
development of the CSU system.
Creation of the California State Colleges in 1961 united fifteen formerly
independent colleges into a single identifiable system, with its own Board of
Trustees and a Chancellor to serve as chief executive officer. Using a formula
that stressed systemwide planning in the allocation of resources and programs,
the California State Colleges sought to offer Californians quality higher
education at reasonable cost. Key to the success of the State Colleges was the
decision to implement a Master Plan adopted in 1960 that divided higher
education into three distinctly separate segments. The State Colleges were
mandated to emphasize undergraduate and master’s level programs, while the
University of California campuses were to emphasize graduate education, and
the Community Colleges vocational training and college preparation.
The present California State University, starting from a base of fifteen
campuses and 95,000 students in 1961, has grown to where it provides a wide
variety of innovative programs to more than 320,000 students on 22 campuses.
It is the largest system of higher education in the United States and is known
as one of the strongest institutions of higher education in the country.
In September 1979, the Board of Trustees created the California State
University Historical Archives, to be housed on the Dominguez Hills campus.
Since its establishment, the Archives, as a systemwide project, has been
supported by the Chancellor’s Office through the funding of a professional
archivist.
The Archives currently houses a collection of materials from a variety of
sources. These include the Chancellor’s Office, the CSU Academic Senate,
and private individuals such as former Chancellor Glenn Dumke and former
Trustee Paul Spencer. Consequently, the Archives holds some personal
papers as well as official systemwide documents. As part of its collection
policy, the Archives also has a responsibility to gather individual recollections
and oral histories of the system.
Phase I of the CSU Oral History Project, conducted from 1986 to 1989, and
funded by the Chancellor's Office, covered the formation and early years of
CSU through 32 interviews with participants within and without the system.
These interviews, housed at the CSU Archives, have proven useful to research
into higher education in the 1950s and '60s. A major quality is their
standardized format, developed at the Oral History Program at CSU
Fullerton.
Phase II is an ongoing oral history project that is decentralized but
administered by the CSU Archives. Its intent is to assure that the
reminiscences of retiring chancellors, principal staff members, Academic
Senate chairs, Student Association presidents, trustees, and local campus
presidents be recorded as closely as possible to their retirement date and that
this be done routinely as a regularized process. Phase II also seeks
information on the growth of the CSU during two mid-decades, 1964-85.
The project has three long-range purposes. First, it will help to increase
interest in the history and accomplishments of the California State University.
Next, it will be a tool in aiding the acquisition of additional materials
concerning the System now in private hands. Finally, it will create needed
documentation for understanding the System's historical role in state and
national education; many issues it has confronted have become matters of
national concern, such as meeting the needs of a multicultural student body
and finding adequate resources in a time of scarcity. Oral history can provide
background information on these developments that is not available in
bulletins, brochures, and minutes.
Funding for the project is provided by the Office of the Chancellor, Dr. Barry
Munitz. We thank the interviewee for generously giving of his time. We also
acknowledge the pioneering work of the CSU Fullerton Oral History Program
in providing a model. Transcribing was performed by Garnette Long, who in
the process contributed many wise editorial suggestions.

ORAL HISTORY PROJECT ON THE
ORIGINS OF THE CSU SYSTEM
This oral history interview of Harold Goldwhite was taped at the Office of the
Chancellor in Long Beach. It is part of Phase II of the ongoing Oral History
Project of the California State University Archives.
HC: Good morning. This is Wednesday, December 18, 1996. My name is
Hal Charnofsky. I'm the secretary of the Academic Senate of the
CSU, and I'm sitting in the office with Dr. Harold Goldwhite, who is
presently the director of the Institute for Teaching and Learning, but
he is also the immediate past chair of the Academic Senate of the
CSU. In addition to that, he is a professor of chemistry at California
State University, Los Angeles. We are here today to interview Dr.
Goldwhite, and we are particularly interested in his impressions of the
years he spent as chair of the Academic Senate. So I'll begin by simply
asking Harold to talk for a few minutes about his experience as chair
of the Academic Senate, and then from time to time perhaps interject
a question. Harold?
HG: Thank you, Hal. This is Harold Goldwhite, and as Hal said, I was
chair of the Academic Senate CSU during the period of June 1993
through May of 1995. I had two successive one-year terms. Let me
just give a little bit of background about my involvement with the
Academic Senate CSU, as it were, my preparation for the office of
Chair, and then I want to talk a bit about what I think were some
significant accomplishments of the senate during my period as chair,
some changes in the senate, and what I see for the senate in the near
term.
I had been a member of the Academic Senate CSU, I think, for a little
over six years when I became chair. I had previously served as both
vice chair and chair of the Academic Affairs Committee, and I had two
successive terms as a member-at-large on the Executive Committee, so
that I knew something of the workings of the senate. But interestingly,
I had not been an officer of the senate before I became its chair. That
was just one of those things, the way the senate functioned in the
matter of its choices for chair. But I had seen enough of the operation
of the Executive Committee under the previous chair, Sandy [Sandra]
Wilcox, so that I was fairly comfortable with and familiar with the
mode of operation of the senate under its officers.
GOLDWHITE 2
The senate was at a very interesting time, I think, when I became chair.
We had effectively a quite new management team in the CSU— it had
only been in place about a year— a new chancellor, a new executive
vice chancellor, changes in the senior vice chancellor [for academic
affairs] and so on, so that the whole atmosphere in the CSU that I
think characterized the period when I was senate chair was really one
of change.
The new chancellor had come in with a mandate, largely stemming, I
think, from his own interests but also probably from some
encouragement by the presidents of the campuses, with a mandate for
decentralizing the CSU. There was a strong feeling that too many
operations had become too firmly fixed, too embodied in tradition and
so on within this central office, and so the chancellor was committed
to downsizing the central office, which came along with substantial
reductions in the funding and the budgeting for all the units in the
central office— and we'll comment about the impact of that on the
senate in a moment. He had come in with a mandate for downsizing
the central office, for dispersing as many functions as possible back to
the campuses, for doing whatever could be done on the campuses
rather than here in Golden Shore.
Now, for budgetary purposes, the Academic Senate CSU is treated as
a unit of the Chancellor's Office. And it's an interesting tension, really,
because the Academic Senate is, after all, a centralizing function, in a
way. It's the one group that represents centrally, for governance
purposes, the whole of the faculty of the CSU. And so there was an
interesting contrast there between the chancellor's interest in devolving
power back to the campuses and the fact that the faculty of the CSU
had chosen to have, in a sense, a central overarching Academic Senate
CSU that would represent them at the central office. And so we did
have some discussions— many discussions— with the chancellor about
appropriate roles for the Academic Senate CSU. He had said frankly
in some public settings that he wasn't sure what an Academic Senate
CSU was doing in an era of decentralization. So part of our job, I
think— and I mean our job, the job of the Executive Committee while
I was chair, and of the senate as a whole— was to legitimize the
function of the Academic Senate CSU in the eyes of the new
chancellor. That is, to show that it had important roles that it had to
play, that it was in fact the voice of the faculties, and that it spoke for
the faculties in certain areas— curriculum and faculty-related policies
in particular. So we had to, as it were, reinvent that role for the
Academic Senate CSU, justify its existence, justify the continued
GOLDWHITE 3
funding that would go to the Academic Senate CSU to perform that
function.
HC: That’s very interesting.
HG: In the course of that restudy of the role of the Academic Senate CSU,
two very important enterprises were undertaken by the senate. They
were initiated by the Executive Committee and were endorsed by the
senate, with varying degrees of enthusiasm. The first, during my first
year as chair, was the self-study of the Academic Senate CSU. That
was a job that was undertaken by a committee, including senators, nonsenators,
including chairs of local senates and faculty from the
campuses, chaired by a highly respected past chair of the Academic
Senate who had also served as faculty trustee, Bob [Robert] Kully.
The Self-study Committee, for which I also acted as secretary and
recorder, undertook interviews with all interested parties, with the
chancellor, the senior vice chancellor, the executive vice chancellor,
with trustees, with presidents, with senators, with faculty, with
students— you name it, the Self-study Committee met with them. It
met over, I think, about a six- or seven-month period, starting in the
fall of 1993 and going through the spring of 1994, and produced an
extensive report back to the Academic Senate.
HC: What were the findings?
HG: That report had a number of recommendations which the senate then
began to examine and scrutinize. Among them were some suggestions
for rearranging the committee work of the senate, and some of that
happened. There was a recommendation for a role for a budget
committee, that is, a fiscal committee, which took some time but
eventually was implemented. There were suggestions for a committee
on technology, and an ad hoc committee on that subject was set up.
There were rearrangements of the work of the Teacher Education
Committee, which were tried as an experiment for a while. The
committee was recommended to be a subcommittee of Academic
Affairs. That was a short-lived experiment, it did not work, and
eventually the senate rejected that and gave an even more substantial
role to the Teacher Education Committee.
And also some recommendations for a restructuring of the constitution
of the [Academic Senate of the] CSU. There was a lot of concern
about the steady growth in the senate as campuses and as the CSU
grew. We added a couple of campuses during those couple of years
GOLDWHITE 4
that I was senate chair, and of course that meant under the old
constitution four more senators. There were more campuses coming
on line, and so there was some concern about the growth of the senate
itself and the necessary growth in funding. So the second year was a
year in which we restudied the constitution of the Academic Senate.
I want to return to the funding question, because I think whether a
body like the Academic Senate exists and has credibility is tied, to a
considerable extent, to the way in which it is supported by the central
office. And there were long and extended discussions during my first
year as chair with the chancellor over the nature of the funding of the
senate and whether we could be continued at pretty much the same
level as before.
The upshot of that was a compromise in which the senate actually was
maintained at its prior funding base, with the decision that benefits for
senators— this is getting a little technical but it's worth commenting on
just briefly— the benefit portion of the reimbursed time for senators
would be picked up by the campuses. This idea was run by the
presidents, they had no objection, and that in fact was a compromise
position that saved the senate . . .
HC: A lot of money.
HG: Yes, about a quarter of a million dollars, it turned out in the end, and
enabled the senate to continue to support the work of senators with
reimbursed time. As salaries go up steadily and benefits go up steadily,
we could have supported senators to a lesser and lesser extent if we
hadn't worked that out. And that has indeed become the norm for the
senate now, because I think we're in about the third year— no, the
fourth year— of that arrangement, and the campuses seem content with
it. It hits individual campuses only to a modest extent, between 10,000 or so, but it means an enormous amount, in terms of how
much the senate can provide support for senators to come and do their
work.
And there was an education job there, too. First we had to convince
the chancellor, as I say, that there was a legitimate purpose for the
senate; second, we had to simply educate the people in this building to
the fact that you cannot ask people to come down several times a year,
six times a year, spend three days in this building working, plus six
other times spending a day working, and not give them some relief
from the specific teaching load that they have on their home campuses.
GOLDWHITE 5
So that education process went on, and I think was fairly successful.
And as I point out, the funding for the senate has been maintained at
pretty well a constant amount, plus the benefits being paid by the
campuses.
The other activity then that followed that first year of self-study was a
study of the senate's own constitution during the second year. By the
way, I will get to lots of other things that the senate was doing during
that period, but I want to touch on matters that I think were really
crucial to the survival of the senate, and its prospering, in the last years
of the twentieth and the first years of the twenty-first century. And I
think that the structuring aspect that we undertook was very important
for that.
Well, another committee was set up for the constitutional review.
There was some overlap of membership, and indeed the chair was the
same person, and once again I was the recorder and reporter for the
committee. On constitutional questions we interviewed, again, pretty
much similar kinds of constituencies. But here we also listened much
more to the senate itself and had a number of open debates,
Committee of the Whole meetings, where we discussed constitutional
questions, and so on. The committee brought in a report that had in
it some relatively radical recommendations— considerable slimming
down of the size of the senate, an opening up of slots to make the
senate more diverse, more representative of the new kinds of faculty
that the CSU had been recruiting over the past few years— that if the
senate had gone along with those recommendations, would have led,
I think, to really substantive and striking change in the nature of the
Academic Senate and the people who made up the senators.
The constitutional changes were dealt with in a number of very
extended and, I think, very good debates within the senate itself, and
the most radical of the suggestions were rejected by the senate, [for
example] the idea that there should be some at-large slots that would
be filled after the senators were elected by the campuses, and there
would have been fewer of them [elected] by the campuses. These at-large
slots would have been filled by a mechanism that was to be
worked out but might have been appointive by the Executive
Committee or an election by the senate itself from slates, prepared by
the campuses, of carefully selected candidates. Anyway, the details are
not significant because the senate was not ready, was not willing to go
along with those suggestions.
GOLDWHITE 6
The changes in the constitution that were made eventually I think came
as a disappointment to many members of the Constitutional Review
Committee. I know personally that they came as a major
disappointment to the chair of that committee, who communicated with
me about that. I think they also came as a disappointment to the
chancellor, who had hoped for more radical change. Again, I think a
time of education is needed and is currently underway, because the
changes actually were quite dramatic. But since they were not as
dramatic as the report had recommended, the audience outside was not
as impressed by them as I think they might have been if we'd just come
in with the proposed changes that actually were endorsed by the senate
and were carried out.
Let me indicate what I think were the two most radical changes, and
I think that they were very important for the future of the senate. The
first, the most radical, was [that] the senate is now pegged at a
maximum membership. The number is fifty-one. There is a slight
possibility of variance upwards by one, depending on the status of the
immediate past chair of the senate, but basically for the near . . . for
the foreseeable future, there will be fifty-one total senators, period.
That means whether we have twenty-two campuses, or twenty-three, or
twenty-four, there will not be more than fifty-one senators. That, of
course, means a lot of redistribution of senate seats. Campuses that
used to have three seats will now only have two. That's already going
to happen at the end of this current academic year. That will be the
first implementation. And I think that's something that hasn't quite
sunk in to the outside audience, that in fact there will be radical and
drastic change in the number of senators, at least, because of this.
HC: Well, if I might interject. . . ?
HG: Of course.
HC: Most of the senators thought. . . Well, I shouldn't say most, but many
thought that we should slim down to thirty-five. And so suddenly we're
going to stay at fifty-one, they thought that was too large, of course,
and I'm sure the chancellor did as well.
HG: Yeah, I think that that is a perception. But really, when you think
about a CSU that will have apparently twenty-three campuses as of
another year or so, and maybe we'll be going up to twenty-four or
twenty-five by the early days of the twenty-first century, that's down to,
on average, two senators per campus. That doesn't seem to me to be
GOLDWHITE 7
over-representation. I think there still is an argument that a big
campus like a San Diego or a San Francisco or a Northridge really
should have more than a single senator, and this present arrangement,
I think, is not an unreasonable compromise.
The question about the diversity of the senate that kept coming up is
clearly one that needs to concern us. We must search for ways to
encourage the campuses to make sure that they send a diverse
senatorial body forward to serve here in Long Beach. And I think
that's beginning to happen. I think that as the CSU has a more diverse
faculty, more
Crime, community, context & fear : influences on informal social control in an affluent English suburb
Get PDFBased on ethnographic research, involving observations, participant
observation and in-depth interviews, this thesis explores the impact of crime
and the influences on informal social control in an affluent, middle class
suburb. The research focused on the interaction between estate design, the
environment, social and community life, and fear of crime, and their effects on
residents in the neighbourhood. Despite low recorded crime rates, crime was
perceived to be a problem. This situation arose from a paradox of community
dynamics which, on the one hand, increased fear of crime, but on the other,
contained crime. Apart from small-scale and extremely localised solidarities, a
socially fragmented community existed in which limited and loose-knit local
social networks, strong desires for privacy, and atomisation prevailed. These
factors, coupled with busy lifestyles and features of the suburban environment,
resulted in isolation and enhanced fear of crime.
However, fear arose more from concerns about crime in wider society together
with general anxieties rooted in change in late-modernity, than actual risk of
victimisation. Crime control was rarely based on conm-iunity action, instead
being individualistic and reliant on sophisticated target hardening. Low crime,
therefore, was less attributable to the pursuits of 'active citizens' envisaged by
community crime prevention policies and more to structural processes of
affluence, status and property ownership which created an exclusive and
exclusionary community of vested interest, common identity and shared values.
As a study of affluent suburban life, the research contributes to the community
studies tradition. However, the main importance of the research is its
implications for community crime prevention. By highlighting the complex and
contextual nature of informal social control and the influences which impact on
it, the necessity to tailor crime prevention more to local needs is emphasised

The coaching process in professional youth football: An ethnography of practice
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University, 06/12/2001.Coaching and the coaching process are characterised by a number of complex interactions between the coach, the player and the club environment. Yet understanding of the coaching process as a complex, holistic process remains limited. There are 'gaps' in our existing knowledge, particularly in comprehending the dynamic relationship between the coach, player and club environment, and in understanding the implications of these interactions for practice and the coaching process. This research sought to examine and represent the complexity of the coach-player-club environment interface, and to understand some of the ways that they interact to construct and impinge upon the coaching process. The research was conducted on the premise that a sound understanding of the complexity of the coaching process drawing upon empirical research, rather than idealistic 'models', can inform the future development of coaching practice and coach education.
Within the framework of ethnography, the research took place over one season and used participant observation, unstructured interviews, semi-structured interviews and group interviews in one Football Association, Premier League Academy. The aim was to explore the coaching process and practical coaching context, as played out in the day-to-day experiences of coaches and youth team players. In addition to the main case-study club, semi-structured interviews were conducted with five coaches working with youth teams at other clubs. The research used concepts from grounded theory and also the work of Pierre Bourdieu to analyse and present the data.
In its findings, the study depicts a coaching process that is interdependent and interrelated and highlights complexity in each of the following elements: the club, sessions and games, players and coaches, relationships, and 'attitude'. The dynamism within and between each of these elements is illustrated in the ways that each can facilitate, constrain or even prevent 'effective' practice and the operation of the coaching process. Moreover, the research demonstrates the powerful nature of tradition and culture, highlighting their pervasive influence upon the coaching process and coaching practice.
Life at the case study club was characterised by authoritarianism and pressure, and was relentlessly directed towards winning. This backdrop strongly influenced the relationship between coaches and players, and impacted upon the coaching process. Importantly, the research presents evidence to suggest that coach education may be a relatively 'low impact' endeavour in comparison to the coaches' other experiences which are presented as a significant force shaping both coaches' development and practice. To harness this experience and develop coach education, this research suggests that the governing body could consider embracing mentoring as part of coach education and, as part of this, coaches should be encouraged to engage in critical reflection in order to understand how cultural and other forces shape their practice. However, for mentoring to succeed, it must be grounded in a thorough understanding of the culture of football clubs, and the ways coaches draw upon their life experiences in football to direct their own practice and judge the practices and 'worth' of others.
Importantly, this research begins to answer some of the criticisms levelled at previous research by examining interaction and complexity within the coaching process in-situ. It highlights the problematic, interrelated and interdependent nature of relationships that construct and influence the coaching process and coaching practice. Importantly, it highlights the important and under-researched link between coaching practice, the coaching process and the immediate and wider social context of football
