Strategic Communications for Influence: Lessons From the Annie E. Casey Foundation and Its KIDS COUNT Initiative
Full text link· This article describes how the Annie E. Casey Foundation is using the KIDS COUNT Network in a new way: as a strategic communications tool in its focused efforts toward policy change, broad social change, and improved conditions for vulnerable children and families. An outcome map illustrates links between this strategy and the intended outcomes.
· Case illustrations of KIDS COUNT grantee activities surrounding the release of the 2008 KIDS COUNT Data Book describe the efforts of grantees in six states where the quantity and quality of media coverage surrounding the national data book reflected the kind of coverage that Casey believes will help achieve its desired outcomes.
· Strategic communications approaches such as relationships with journalists, use of locally relevant information, use of locally relevant media advocacy strategies, good preparation, and a solution orientation were present in states demonstrating desirable media coverage.
· Prescribing specific communications tactics matters less than supporting the network’s general capacity to engage in year-round strategic communications approaches to create conditions (e.g., reputations, relationships) that will contribute to successful media advocacy related to a specific event such as the release of the national data book

Peer Networking and Community Change: Improving Foundation Practice
Full text link· This article brings together the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s 15 years of experience with peer networking— examining through two research studies the process of peer networking and its impact, both with community-based and funder groups.
· Peer networking helps people with common interests to exchange information, disseminate good practices, and build a leadership structure for work they do together, such as a community change initiative.
· Casey’s research identified 10 good practices for effective peer networking, as well as 10 challenges that can affect its success; a four-level model was created to provide context for these findings.
· The research indicates that peer networking can have significant impact for communities and in meeting philanthropic goals, but it is costly and must be carefully structured if it is to be successful.
· Casey is working to synthesize its peer networking practices into a more strategic framework, and other foundations might use some of its lessons learned to enhance their own practices in this area

"L'usage de la photo": Ekphrastic and Phototextual Rhethorics in Annie Ernaux's Works
No full textreservedLa tesi si propone di esplorare il contributo di Annie Ernaux al genere letterario dell'autosociobiografia, focalizzandosi sull'abile integrazione di parole e immagini attraverso l'uso dell'ecfrasi e dell'iconotesto. Analizzando opere chiave dell'autrice, il lavoro si immerge nella complessità di come Ernaux utilizzi la fotografia e il testo per narrare la sua storia personale intrecciata con il contesto sociale e storico attraverso il prisma della teoria letteraria e sociologica.
L'iconotesto emerge come elemento centrale della trattazione, si riflette su come l'autrice integri le fotografie nella trama narrativa, fornendo una chiave interpretativa per comprendere la sua singolare metodologia e il modo in cui essa arricchisce il significato dell'autosociobiografia. Ulteriore approfondimento di questa tesi è la considerazione degli adattamenti cinematografici delle opere di Ernaux. Si esplora come il passaggio dalla pagina allo schermo influenzi la fruizione dell'iconotesto e come la dimensione visiva si integri con la parola scritta per creare un'esperienza narrativa unica.The thesis aims to explore Annie Ernaux's contribution to the literary genre of autosociobiography, focusing on the skillful integration of words and images through the use of ekphrasis and iconotext. Analyzing key works of the author, the study delves into the complexity of how Ernaux uses photography and text to narrate her personal story intertwined with the social and historical context through the lens of literary and sociological theory.
The iconotext emerges as a central element of the discussion, reflecting on how the author integrates photographs into the narrative, providing an interpretative key to understanding her unique methodology and how it enriches the meaning of autosociobiography. Further depth in this thesis involves considering the cinematic adaptations of Ernaux's works. It explores how the transition from page to screen influences the experience of the iconotext and how the visual dimension integrates with the written word to create a unique narrative experience
"Not drowning but waving: the preservation of Annie Bonus' 'River-Reeds' (1866)"
No full textAbstract of paper delivered on 7.7.18
Annie Bonus’s River-Reeds are the poems of a Victorian teenager, preserved after more than 150 years by the fact of their having appeared in print. They did so anonymously, in 1866; but the publishers, Joseph Masters, were well aware of the author’s identity. She had been on their books since her 1863 début, with Beatrice: A Tale of the Early Christians. They would not have been surprised by her apparent turn in River-Reeds to nature-writing as a vehicle for devotion: “I have always from childhood entertained a great fancy for finding parables in Nature. It has ever been my special delight to frame for myself stories and allegories out of the voiceless things around me, and to discover in the silent insensate life of flower, stream, or sea, lively images of the mysteries of God’s spiritual kingdom.”
Annie Bonus went on to become, as Anna Kingsford, one of the leading lights in the British Spiritualist movement. The celebrity resulting from that, and the interest which those whom it reached then came to feel in tracing Kingsford’s visionary leanings back to her juvenile poetry, further boosted the survival prospects of River-Reeds. The poems themselves may seem pallid in comparison with what was being simultaneously produced, not only in the same area of London but within sight of Bonus’s house, by Gerard Manley Hopkins (who was also first published in 1863). Hopkins’s bold new poetic departures were beyond the Bonus revealed in River-Reeds: a writer still very much bound and beholden to the Brownings and to Tennyson. However, my paper will argue that this harnessing of other poets’ power did not preclude significant imaginative creation on the part of Bonus herself. Furthermore, she is rehearsing in River-Reeds some of the strategies, stances and positions which would subsequently define her as an adult author

Autobiografinio žanro pokyčiai Annie Ernaux kūryboje
No full textThe author of the dissertation analyses the work of a contemporary French writer Annie Ernaux at the core of which lie the autobiographical narrative and search for identity. This dissertation takes as its stating point the theoretical views articulated by Philippe Lejeune. However, in analysing Annie Ernaux, the author of the dissertation seeks to reveal modifications and divergencies from the canon of the autobiography and sets the author‘s work against the most widely known autobiographical models. Due to the hibridic and ambiguous character of Annie Ernaux‘s writing, it it has been called auto-biography, autosocioanalysis, ethnososiology, anti-journals, auto fiction, etc. Ernaux‘s autobiographical narrative oversteps the boundaries set by the canon and acquires aspects of biographical, feminist, transpersonal, ethnographical and sociological writing. Deviation from the cannonical autobiographical writing and the hibridity of the author‘s texts best reflect the author‘s innovative ways of constructing the self. As one of the most important deviations from the canon (Jean Jacques Rousseau‘s Confessions being the archetypal model of autobiography), the author of the dissertation emphasizes sociological aspects of Annie Ernaux‘s work and the link with the sociological ideas of Pierre Bourdieu. The disseration discusses the parallels between such sociological categories as the dominating and the dominated, class reproduction, class subconscious, the notions of habitus and dual habitus, and their literary interpretation. By using literary forms to illustrate sosiological categories, Annie Ernaux seeks to reveal not the subjective, the autobiographical “I”, but the historically and sociologically determined person. By exchanging subjectivity for objectivity Annie Ernaux interprets the genre in her own manner.Disertacijoje nagrinėjama šiuolaikinės prancūzų rašytojos Annie Ernaux kūryba, kurios pagrindas - prabėgusio gyvenimo pasakojimas, savojo tapatumo ieškojimai. Autobiografinio pobūdžio tekstai analizuojami remiantis autobiografinio žanro tipologija, išryškinant svarbiausius Ph. Lejeune’o sukurtos autobiografijos teorijos postulatus. Tačiau darbo autorė atkreipia dėmesį ir į tam tikrus A. Ernaux kūrybai būdingus nukrypimus nuo tradiciškai suprantamo autobiografiškumo, kartais ambivalentišką ar hibridinį kai kurių kūrinių pobūdį, suponavusį tokius jos tekstų apibūdinimus kaip auto - biografija, autosocioanalizė, etnosociologija, antidienoraščiai, autofikcija etc. Pastebėta, kad autorės kūryboje autobiografinis pasakojimas kartais įgauna biografijos, feminizmo, transpersonalumo, etnografijos, sociologijos bruožų. Tokios deviacijos nuo tradiciškai suprantamo autobiografiškumo atsiskleidžia kaip naujų išraiškos formų ieškojimas, postmodernistinis žaidimas su literatūrine autobiografijos tradicija. Vienas reikšmingiausių pastebėtų nukrypimų nuo rusoistinės tradicijos ( J.- J. Rousseau Išpažintis traktuotina kaip archetipinis autobiografijos modelis) yra sociologinių aspektų išryškinimas, tam tiktas intertekstualumas su prancūzų sociologo P. Bourdieu idėjomis. Disertacijoje atskleidžiami paralelizmai tarp sociologinių kategorijų ( dominuojantys, dominuojamieji, klasinė reprodukcija, klasinė pasąmonė, habitus, dvigubas habitus etc.) ir literatūrinio jų interpretavimo. Autorės polinkis į sociologiją atsiskleidžia kaip objektyvistinio požiūrio postulavimas, kai kūryboje siekiama perteikti ne tiek subjektyvųjį, „rusoistinį” autobiografinį „aš”, kiek istoriškai susiklosčiusį, sociologiškai apspręstą. Šitaip A. Ernaux įtikinamai išplečia autobiografinio subjekto sampratą, tarytum reformuoja autobiografiją
