Children in the Films of Alfred Hitchcock
No full textJason McEntee is a contributing author, \u27The Future’s Not Ours to See’: How Children and Young Adults Reflect the Anxiety of Lost Innocence in Alfred Hitchcock’s American Movies.”, pp.31-46.
Children and youth perform both innocence and knowingness within Hitchcock\u27s complex cinematic texts. Though the child often plays a small part, their significance - symbolically, theoretically, and philosophically - offers a unique opportunity to illuminate and interrogate the child presence within the cinematic complexity of Hitchcock\u27s films.https://openprairie.sdstate.edu/english_book/1009/thumbnail.jp
Iconic Sports Venues: Persuasion in Public Spaces
No full textJason McEntee is a contributing author, The Last Palace Standing: Mitchell\u27s Corn Palace and the Rise of an Iconic Sports Venue. , pp.41-65.
From the Colosseum of Rome to Wrigley Field and Madison Square Garden, iconic sports venues are larger than life. They often exist in a seemingly sacred space, outside the hustle and bustle of the everyday. At their most basic level, iconic sports venues are revered and idolized. They emanate a sense of persuasion that contributes to how they become meaningful for those who come into contact with them.
This book examines how and why iconic sports venues acquire meaning. Looking at different venues, chapters address how the material features of a site participate in the construction of messages and meanings, and how they influence those messages and meanings. Each chapter includes a description of the venue in question; an interpretation of its mystique; and a discussion of the implications of the interpretation.
A unique and timely contribution to the fields of composition, persuasion, sport management, sport rhetoric, and communication, the goal of this book is to inspire more scholarly research, essays, and projects focused on the persuasive qualities of sports venues. More broadly, scholars, students, and professionals can use the chapters in this book as models for investigating iconic structures both locally and globally.https://openprairie.sdstate.edu/english_book/1012/thumbnail.jp

Jason vs GIJOE
No full textThesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2019Jason vs GI JOE is partly an exercise in autobiography, an experiment in relational aesthetics, and an interdisciplinary artist project at the intersection of comic books, creative writing and performance art. This comic book, Jason vs. GIJOE, is a postmodern double erasure, based on the comic book GIJOE: Cobra II (Issue 1). The original pictures from the comic book have been removed, and replaced by a series of short narratives, describing autobiographical events from the life of the author: me, Jason. Speech bubbles from the original have been left to comment back over top of the stories, obscuring meaning but creating moments of unplanned dialogue. The comic is a readymade, twice erased: once to replace the drawings of the initial comic, and again when using the original dialogue bubbles to speak back to the narrative

The people behind the papers – Jason Ko and Daniel Lobo
No full textPlanarians grow when they are fed and shrink during periods of starvation. However, it is unclear how they maintain appropriate body proportions as their size changes. A new paper in Development investigates the differences between growth and shrinkage dynamics and builds a mathematical model to explore the mechanisms underpinning these two processes. To learn more about the story behind the paper, we caught up with first author, Jason Ko, and corresponding author, Daniel Lobo, Associate Professor at the University of Maryland.https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.20298
Ep. #085 - Jason W. Moore
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Cymene and Dominic talk capital and Vanilla Isis and then (11:21) we welcome to the podcast the one and only Jason W. Moore from Binghamton University, author of Capitalism in the Web of Life (Verso, 2015) and Anthropocene or Capitalocene? (PM Press, 2016). We chat with Jason about his most recent work, co-authored with Raj Patel, A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things (U California Press, 2017), forthcoming this October. We talk about why he wanted to write a book for a broader audience, the problems with the “anthropocene” concept in the human sciences, how “capitalocene” can improve our thinking about world history, and how we can avoid vulgar materialism in critical environmental research and activism today. We cover the role that states and agriculture have played in shaping modern capitalism and Jason calls for a seriously engaged pluralism to tackle the urgent challenges of our era. We discuss the cheapening or thingification of life, capitalism as a gravitational field, the importance of frontiers, the violence of the Great Domestication, and why if green energy remains in the mode of “cheap fuel” nothing will change about capitalist accumulation. Jason explains why racial and gender domination are so often lacunae in critiques of petromodernity. Finally we ruminate on how to unmake the capitalist world-ecology and the key principles of the “reparation ecology” that Jason and his colleagues are calling for. Tired of the debate within the left about whether to prioritize jobs or the environment? Then you’ll want to listen on
