The psychology of strongly-held beliefs: Theories of ideological structure and individual attachment.
No full textWhat determines the results of encounters between individuals and ideologies? For an ideology to be strongly held, the potential adherent should believe that the agents identified by the ideology are capable of taking the recommended actions, which are consistent with the adherent's moral values, and will result, according to accepted explanatory principles, in outcomes the adherent finds desirable. In consequence, it is proposed that strength of attachment to an ideology is a function of attachment to all of the components

Fireside Chat with Dr. Ira Byock & StoryCorps\u27 David Isay
No full textJoin master storytellers Dave Isay, founder of StoryCorps, and Dr. Ira Byock, founder of the Institute for Human Caring, in exploring how stories build human connection during a global health crisis.
Social-distancing restrictions due to the Coronavirus pandemic have created a longing for human connection – particularly for quarantined patients, frontline healthcare workers and vulnerable communities.
Two complementary programs on opposite ends of the country are providing essential connections when they’re needed the most.
Reimagine End of Life, in partnership with the Providence Institute for Human Caring and StoryCorps, is hosting an online show-and-tell with two of the nation’s leaders in their respective fields.
Dr. Byock will unpack selected content from Providence’s Coronavirus Chronicles, a website for the public as well as patients and caregivers across the nation’s third-largest health system to share videos, pictures, text, art, and poetry on the pandemic.
Isay will reveal audio recordings from Storycorps Connect, its first remote-recording platform, which was built in response to the pandemic. The platform enables people to record a StoryCorps interview with a loved one remotely using video-conference technology. Isay will show how this platform is being used in healthcare settings to help facilitate a connection between isolated patients and their loved ones.

The dynamics of nationalist terrorism: ETA and the IRA
No full textNationalist terrorism aspires to independence or greater autonomy for some territory. The combination of territorial claims and armed struggle gives rise to a very definite strategy, violence intended to coerce the State. Nationalist terrorist organizations kill repeatedly with the aim of breaking the will of the State. They engage in a peculiar sort of war of attrition with the State. This paper analyzes comparatively the war of attrition strategy in two organizations, ETA and the IRA. The focus of the paper is on strategy: it examines how ETA and the IRA understood their activity in terms of war of attrition and how they developed their strategy subject to some constraints, such as the moderate preferences of their supporters. I show that popularity constraints account for the high degree of selectivity in their killings. The analysis is based on a combination of historical information, internal documents, and a large data set I have constructed of the killings of these two organizations
"Joyce e il cinema delle origini: Circe", by Marco Camerani
No full textThe connection between Ulysses and the seventh art has been widely discussed by scholars who have looked at the filmic interpretations of the novel or investigated the potential of film production as a form of intersemiotic translation that may serve as an analytical tool. Marco Camerani’s book adopts a reverse—albeit complementary—viewpoint and, instead of seeing cinema as the recipient of ideas and inspirations from Ulysses, focuses on the influence of cinema on Ulysses, in particular, on the “Circe” episode. Camerani is not the only author to have looked at film in Joyce rather than Joyce in film. His book, however, has two added values: on the one hand, as suggested by the title, it offers a systematized collection of the references to early movies and their structural patterns that can be traced in “Circe,” and, on the other, the volume presents the results of such research in a thoroughly enjoyable way that makes it appealing to both Joycean and film scholars, as well to a more general readership
On the Policy Reflex of Canadian Communication Studies
No full textThis commentary notes the existence of a “policy reflex” in Canadian communication studies. The author suggests that many scholars engage in issues having to do with policy even if “policy analysis” is not the goal of scholarship. This tendency is in part due to a limited understanding of policy or a tendency among some scholars to see their work as “critical” over other possible characterizations. In many cases a turn to policy has a symbolic function, marking absence rather than presence. In a research field characterized by major gaps in research and in the face of convoluted or missing data, what we call “policy analysis” often emerges largely by default. The article discusses consequences of this reflex on policy scholarship and public discourses of culture

Libya and Britain: a study of the history of British-Libyan relations 1969-1979
No full textThis thesis examines relations between Libya and the United Kingdom after 1969 when a new government came to power in Tripoli which seemed to pose a direct threat to a number of key British interests. The thesis is grounded on a careful reading of secondary literature which has been integrated into newly available official documents available in the National Archive. The main claim to originality is in the light these documents throw on our understanding of that relationship. The thesis uses a case study approach which examines specific themes in UK-Libya relations which include arguments over arms sales, the oil economy and the role of oil companies, and relations over the Irish question and the problematic Libyan supply of weapons and support to the IRA in the 1970s. It inevitably touches on relations between both governments and the United States, but that is not a main focus of the study. These areas have been chosen for study because they represent the most significant areas of bargaining and conflict between Libya and the UK in the time period, according to both the secondary literature and press debate at the time and the newly available documentation. The author has been aware of the limitations of using the National Archives, especially where material has newly arrived for view. These include the scope of official ‘weeding’ before documents are made available to conserve space and to avoid repetition, but also to exclude sensitive material relating to intelligence and cognate aspects of relations with other governments. These limitations qualify, but do not undermine, the conclusions drawn
