Justificational narratives : what is the role of fear in Israeli narratives of war?
No full textBibliography: leaves 90-92.The body of this thesis contains two main parts. The first (section 3) is a critical linguistic analysis of a selection of political speeches (which I have called 'policy narratives') delivered by Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in the period February 2002 - October 2003. I have sought, with reference to Aristotle and other writers on persuasion, to delineate the rhetorical devices employed by Sharon and his speechwriters, and to demonstrate that one of their most important functions is to contribute to and enhance the overall climate of fear among the Israeli people, for the furtherance of Sharon's own political goals. I focus primarily on the speeches surrounding and leading up to the March 2002 announcement of 'Operation Defensive Shield', which was described by Palestinians and international aid workers as the harshest military assault on the WBGS since the June 1967 Arab-Israeli war. After examining the policy narratives I provide another representation of the 'reality on the ground' experienced by the Palestinian population at the receiving end of Sharon's 'operations'. The second (section 4) is a linguistic analysis of the 'narrative of personal experience' of a civilian reservist - Moshe Nissim - who was recruited in April 2002, at the height of 'Defensive Shield', to drive a D-9 bulldozer through the West Bank's Jenin refugee camp. Nissim, who seems motivated by his own personal fears and failures, apparently sees in Jenin the long-awaited opportunity to redeem himself. Although he does not appear to have been inspired by the arguments and themes of Sharon's narratives, the overall atmosphere of fear and hatred that is legitimised and given weight by Sharon in his speeches, sets the stage for Nissim to act on his darkest urges and later to be considered by himself and others as a hero for having done so. I contend that Israeli right wing hegemony both feeds and is fed by fear

Pittsburgh's Flair for Protest: An Oral History Interview with International Activist and University of Pittsburgh Sociology Ph.D. Student Sharon Quinsaat.
No full textOn September 25, 2009, the G20 leaders convened in Pittsburgh for a one-day summit that included an additional day of ceremonial activities based around the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University campuses. This gathering allowed the students of both campuses to see many of the G20 leaders speak, and it also allowed the students to both view and participate in grassroots social activism throughout the city. While there were riots on the University of Pittsburgh campus that directly affected the undergraduate student body, this archive focuses specifically on the experiences of four women graduate students who participated in both the permitted and the unpermitted marches throughout the rest of the city in dual roles as scholars and activists. The diversity of their experiences reveals how difficult it is for academics to integrate community involvement with their own academic research and still maintain credibility in both realms. Also, because each of the women has been involved in other organized social protests in the past, their reflections on how the Pittsburgh protests compare to other global protests against organizations like the G20 adds perspective to the ways that the police and the protestors interacted in a small, local city as opposed to a large, metropolitan center, like Seattle or London. Sharon Quinsaat, a first-year Ph.D. student in the University of Pittsburgh Department of Sociology, participated in the g20 protests as part of her own interest in activism and protest. Quinsaat has extensive experience as a protest-organizer and leader for international interventions against the World Trade Organization and helped to organize student protests in her home country, the Phillipines. In her reflections, Quinsaat analyzes how the Pittsburgh protests differed from other rallies against international organizations in which she has participated, discusses police strategy and interactions with the protestors, and gives anecdotes about her own participation in the events and attention she garnered from the press because she is an international student. This interview was conducted by Candi Carter Olson, University of Pittsburgh Department of Communication Ph.D. student.
