You Shook Me All Campaign Long
No full textMusic has long played a role in American presidential campaigns as a mode of both expressing candidates’ messages and criticizing the opposition. The 2016 campaign was no exception and was a game changer. The ten chapters in this collection place music use in 2016 in historical perspective before examining musical messaging, strategy, and parody. The book ultimately explores causality: how do music and musicians affect presidential elections, and how do politicians and campaigns affect music and musicians? The authors explain this interaction from various perspectives, with methodological approaches from several fields, including political science, legal studies, musicology, cultural studies, rhetorical studies, and communications and journalism.
“The cumulative effect of the authors’ expertise on campaign music makes this book a tour-de-force.”—Nancy S. Love, author of Musical Democrac
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

The Constitutionality of Window Display Bans on Public University Campuses
No full textColor poster with text and photographs.Historically public universities have been a means for its student population to achieve a sort of freedom that they had not yet experienced during their high school lives. They have entirely new ways to express themselves in a setting like a public college campus. The students are finally away from their guardians and have a chance to be around people their age for the duration of their degree (when referring to traditional students). Being on a college campus allows you so many opportunities to express yourself in every facet of your life. That includes their ability to express themselves through their freedom of expression. Here most campuses provide numerous channels for students to express their feelings on a wide variety of topics including politics, religion, and more. The Supreme Court has protected the rights of college students in several case. Many of these cases involve the student’s free speech rights. However, the Supreme Court of the United States has not yet heard a case involving college student’s rights to display what they please in the public eye of their dorm window.Ronald E.

Public University Student Newspapers and the First Amendment : An Overview of First Amendment Applications
No full textColor poster with text, images, and photographs.This project on "Public University Student Newspapers and the First Amendment" aims to expand upon previous constitutional law research to understand the question of free speech and free press rights of students in public university student newspapers. Research will focus on analyzing U.S. Supreme Court cases such as Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier (1988), Rosenberger v. University of Virginia (1995), University of Wisconsin System v. Southworth (2000), Near v. Minnesota (1931), and others. Such case investigations help to further refine the discourse of student free speech and free press rights within public university newspapers, which is significant because of the implications for public university students, campus environments, and the future of professional journalism. There are student-run newspapers on college campuses across the country, and the limit to public university student expression is still being defined. Public university students must understand the extent of their rights so that they may freely express their views and learn how to use language to enrich journalism and report on campus activities.The Menard Center for Constitutional Studies; University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire Office of Research and Sponsored Program
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Freedom of Speech on University Premises in the Wake of the COVID-19 Pandemic
No full textColor poster with text, images, photographs, and graphs.This project aims to better understand First Amendment freedom of speech and assembly rights on public university campuses within the context of COVID-19 policies that have been executed by administrators across the country since 2020. Analysis was undertaken by exploring current U.S. Supreme Court First Amendment free speech jurisprudence and applying it to relevant policies in the University of Wisconsin System, including those implemented at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire; these policies encompass mask mandates, restrictions on gatherings/six-foot distance requirements, punishments for breaking restrictions, and requirements to sign a COVID pledge. A process of comprehensive archival research was undertaken, including examining past U.S. Supreme Court decisions and relevant secondary publications. In order to analyze the relevant COVID-19 policies, the Court’s current understanding of times, place and manner restrictions were considered, as well as the Court's compelled/symbolic speech tests established out of Tinker v. Des Moines, West Virginia v. Barnette, and Wooley v. Maynard. Due to the novelty of the present COVID-19 circumstances, current First Amendment case law in this context raises thought-provoking questions, including exposing gaps in the Court’s precedents that the justices should address in future cases.University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire Office of Research and Sponsored Program
SLAPP Back : An Interstate analysis of anti-SLAPP Laws
No full textColor poster with text and maps.SLAPP Back: An Interstate Analysis of Anti-SLAPP Laws compares State anti-SLAPP statutes considering relevant First Amendment principles, with the ultimate goal of determining what qualities a Wisconsin anti-SLAPP statute should include, should the state adopt one. SLAPPs (strategic lawsuits against public participation) are lawsuits intended to chill public expression on matters of public concern. Thirty-two States and the District of Columbia have adopted anti-SLAPP statutes that protect groups and individuals when sued for expression protected under the First Amendment. These laws vary significantly by jurisdiction in their construction, resulting in varied levels of protection for such expression. To identify what legal doctrines informed the creation of Anti-SLAPP laws and in which modes of construction Anti-SLAPP laws are most effective, researchers analyzed Supreme Court case law, state statutes, and judicial outcomes. For comparison and visual representation, researchers quantified key features of anti-SLAPP statutes based on the level of protection afforded, the burden of proof in court proceedings, and whether the victor was ultimately entitled to damages. Researchers show that states whose laws reflect the Uniform Law Commission’s “Public Expression Protection Act” will more effectively protect speakers than those that do not.The Menard Center for Constitutional Studies; University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire Office of Research and Sponsored Program
