The Right to be Forgotten Across the Pond
No full textAre you unclear about the European Commission’s 2012 draft Data Protection Regulation proposing a qualified “right to be forgotten?” That’s not surprising, say Meg Ambrose and Jef Ausloos. Their in-depth analysis finds a bifurcated social and legal history, divergent conceptions of the “right,” and alternative options for implementation. They contrast a right to “oblivion” (full deletion of certain public data) with a “right to erasure” (removal of personal data provided for automated processing) and find them conflated in the “right to be forgotten” in the EU’s proposed data regulation. The two should be separated, they argue, with support for the right to erasure while more study is needed on the less clear “right to oblivion.”status: Publishe

The YouTube-Born Terrorist: Far-right and Far-left Radicals' Experience of the Filter Bubble
No full textM.A.Personalization permeates the World Wide Web today and search engine-, social networking-, and social media websites--like Google, Facebook, and YouTube--use algorithms to tailor search results and content to web users' interest and web history. Author and Internet activist Eli Pariser has raised concerns about this trend and coined the term "the filter bubble" to describe the information silos he argues web users may find themselves in when browsing the web. In this research project, I develop a methodology that studies personalization algorithms' effect on YouTube users' experience of the website. I apply the methodology to the case of far-right and far-left radical web users, and I quantitatively study the videos they encounter when YouTube's personalization algorithms govern their content discovery. Borrowing theoretical and methodological frameworks from Internet studies, political socialization, social network analysis, communication, and technology law & policy, I find that the users do experience significant personalization on YouTube, although it's unclear to what extent personalization is negative

Undaunted Courage: Meriwether Lewis, Thomas Jefferson, and the Opening of the American West
No full textNonfiction by Stephen E. Ambrose Simon & Schuster (Hardcover, $30.00, ISBN: 0684811073, 3/1996) For decades, biographer Ambrose had nursed an ambition to chronicle the Corps of Discovery, as Lewis and Clark styled their ventures. Hitherto detained by opuses on Ike, Nixon, and D-Day, Ambrose here loosens the reins to his admiration of the duo\u27s fearlessness and skill in braving the unknown, an exploration of which had sunk into obscurity in the 1800s but has since ascended to iconic status in American history. Framed as a biography of Lewis, this work relies heavily on both Lewis\u27 and Clark\u27s famed journals, backed up by the author\u27s personal travels along the Missouri River route from St. Louis to the Pacific. A stimulating tour guide, Ambrose paces the mundane so well with the unusual that readers will be entranced. Not content as a mere recorder of deeds, Ambrose often pauses to assess the military leadership of the explorers, how they negotiated with the Mandan, Sioux, or Nez Perce, and what they reported to Jefferson. Ambrose\u27s epic, a combination of rhapsody and reality, feels like a final glimpse at a pristine Eden before the crowd of trappers and settlers altered it forever. The book clubs are also agog over this, so prepare for many requests. ―Gilbert Taylor. Copyright © 1996, American Library Association.

Soul Recreation: Spiritual Marriage and Ravishment in the Contemplative-Mystical Piety of Isaac Ambrose
This thesis examines the theology and piety of Isaac Ambrose (1604-1664), a moderate Lancashire Puritan minister. More specifically it raises the question about the nature of his spiritual practices and whether they reflect what Bernard McGinn calls the “mystical element” of Christianity? This research is distinctive since Ambrose has never been the primary focus of research. There are six chapters to this thesis.
Chapter 1 examines the definition of three key terms: “mysticism”, “Puritanism”, and “Puritan mysticism” and then substitutes “contemplative-mystical piety” for McGinn’s mystical element since this language is more familiar to the Reformed community. A review of the literature reveals the prevalence of contemplative-mystical piety within mainstream Puritanism. Chapter 2 explores the biblical and theological foundations of union with Christ, which the Puritans often called spiritual marriage. Contrary to common perception, the Puritans encouraged intimacy and sexual enjoyment in their godly marriage that they often perceived as a reciprocal relationship with their spiritual marriage. The third chapter creates a contemplative biography of Ambrose through his diary entries and examines his relationship with God and his neighbor through his annual retreats, the struggles of his soul, serving as a physician of the soul, times of public fasting and worship, and the significance of specific places or environment to his piety. Chapter 4 narrows the focus to Ambrose’s teaching on meditation and contemplation. The influence of Bernard of Clairvaux is clearly evident as Ambrose contemplatively looks at Jesus throughout all the manifestations of Jesus’ life. The fifth chapter considers Ambrose’s use of ravishment and examines the nature, dynamics and benefits of this ambiguous term of delight and enjoyment. The final chapter moves from the seventeenth-century to the present and inquires whether Ambrose’s contemplative-mystical piety can guide contemporary Reformed Christians. That requires an examination into the resistance of Karl Barth as well as the more receptive possibility of retrieval through Herman Bavinck. This work concludes with seven principles from Ambrose to encourage those who are members of the Reformed tradition

Lewis & Clark: Voyage of Discovery
No full textNonfiction by Stephen E. Ambrose, photographs by Sam Abell National Geographic Society (Hardcover, $35.00, ISBN: 0792270843, 10/1998) Don\u27t expect Ambrose\u27s second treatment of the Lewis and Clark expedition to retread his Undaunted Courage (1996), a huge-selling biography of Meriwether Lewis. An inspection of both books reveals only tiny verbatim repetition, and the cause soon becomes clear: whereas the biography held to the form\u27s stricture that the author be detached from his subject, this photo album proclaims Ambrose\u27s 20-year-long personal obsession (as he puts it) with the epic story. Since 1976 he and his family have spent their summers along the route taken by the Corps of Discovery; some family members have even moved to Montana because of their devotional interest in Lewis and Clark. Ambrose, drawing on his hikes and canoe trips to all the monuments between St. Louis and Fort Clatsop associated with the explorers, melds his memories and own journal entries with a new Lewis and Clark narrative spiced by entries from their journals. Akin to religious pilgrims, Ambrose and companions (including Dayton Duncan and film producer Ken Burns) often re-read passages from those journals at the locale an entry was written, allowing Ambrose to comment on the place\u27s contemporary appearance, whether pristine (Gates of the Rocky Mountains), or altered (the dammed-up Missouri River). The visual difference between Duncan and Burns\u27 Lewis & Clark (1997) and this Ambrose treatment is notable: the former uses nineteenth-century paintings; the latter contemporary National Geo-style photographs of the vistas. Ambrose remarks that his obsession changed his life, and surely his travelogue/tribute will change the vacation plans of some readers as well. Popular, beyond doubt. ―Gilbert Taylor Copyright © 1998, American Library Association. All rights reserved.https://egrove.olemiss.edu/mwp_books/1178/thumbnail.jp
