Footloose in Jacksonian America: Robert W. Scott and his Agrarian World
No full textIn the fall of 1829, young Robert Wilmot Scott rode away from Frankfort, Kentucky, on a trip that would take him through nine states. His journal entries about those travels present a vivid picture of Jacksonian America and of the prominent people of that era. Excellent pen portraits of James and Dolly Madison, James Monroe, John Marshall, James Buchanan, Sam Houston, Edward Everett, John C. Calhoun, John Randolph, John Quincy Adams, and others show Scott to be a careful and detailed observer. Present at the famous Webster-Hayne debate, he gives a rich account of that discussion and its personalities.
But not only people attracted Scott’s observations. In visits to Richmond, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Pittsburgh, among other places, he gave close attention to public buildings, universities, theaters, churches, and manufacturing establishments. His comments on culture and industry detail the quickening pulse of a burgeoning nation, and compare favorably with more familiar accounts by James Silk Buckingham or Thomas Hamilton.
In the second half of this work, author Thomas D. Clark traces the later life of this fascinating diarist. Scott became master of a model Kentucky plantation, “Locust Hill,” and proved to be an important agricultural reformer. He was active, as well, in education and in politics. In outlining the career of this agrarian, Dr. Clark has made an important contribution to the study of southern agriculture and the men who shaped it. Scott, in his diary comments, made his own contribution to history by offering fine insights about the world in which he lived.https://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_united_states_history/1122/thumbnail.jp
Citizen participation in news
No full textThe process of producing news has changed significantly due to the advent of the Web, which has enabled the increasing involvement of citizens in news production. This trend has been given many names, including participatory journalism, produsage, and crowd-sourced journalism, but these terms are ambiguous and have been applied inconsistently, making comparison of news systems difficult. In particular, it is problematic to distinguish the levels of citizen involvement, and therefore the extent to which news production has genuinely been opened up. In this paper we perform an analysis of 32 online news systems, comparing them in terms of how much power they give to citizens at each stage of the news production process. Our analysis reveals a diverse landscape of news systems and shows that they defy simplistic categorisation, but it also provides the means to compare different approaches in a systematic and meaningful way. We combine this with four case studies of individual stories to explore the ways that news stories can move and evolve across this landscape. Our conclusions are that online news systems are complex and interdependent, and that most do not involve citizens to the extent that the terms used to describe them imply

Newer Hollywood, Newer Quality, Newer Speed: On the Late Work of Tony Scott
No full textPrzedmiotem niniejszego artykułu jest późna twórczość angielskiego reżysera Tony’ego Scotta. Wykorzystując teorie francuskiego urbanisty Paula Virilio, autor analizuje, w jaki sposób w omawianych filmach przedstawiane są klasy społeczne, oraz przybliża relację filmów z prędkością. Obrazy Scotta odzwierciedlają rzeczywistość przełomu wieków – jej rosnące tempo, intensywne wykorzystanie „maszyn widzenia” oraz rozwój cyfrowych technik nadzoru. To właśnie te idee zajmowały centralne miejsce w projektach reżysera – zarówno na poziomie fabularnym, jak i wizualnym – co czyniło je kluczowymi dla jego hiperaktywnego, kinetycznego stylu.This article explores the late work of English director Tony Scott. Drawing on the theories of French urbanist Paul Virilio, the author analyzes how these films portray social classes and their relationship to speed. Scott’s films reflect the realities of the turn of the century – marked by increasing speed, the extensive use of “vision machines,” and the rise of digital surveillance technologies. These themes occupy a central place in Scott’s projects – both narratively and visually – defining his hyperactive, kinetic style
