The Jerry Springer Show as an Emotional Public Sphere
No full textThe public sphere debate in social theory has been a topic of considerable interest amongst scholars analysing the talk show genre. Habermas (1989) attached great importance to the potential of rational critical discussion to create consensus and thereby legitimation in democratic society. He was concerned that the media gave a false impression of engagement in a public sphere while managing rights of access and speech in a manner that was inimical to open public discussion. In contrast, cultural commentators on the talk show genre have been impressed by the richness and spontaneity of interactions on the shows, suggesting that they might have a positive role in public participation despite not meeting Habermas’s criteria for a public sphere. In consequence, the literature is moving away from the public sphere debate and focussing on issues of voice and expression in analyses of talk shows. This paper, however, makes the argument that many of Habermas’s concerns are still highly relevant to the genre. This is demonstrated through an analysis of the Jerry Springer Show. On the surface, this show seems to have little to do with rational critical discussion. The analysis reveals a number of parallels between the conception of the rational critical public sphere and the Jerry Springer show, leading to a revision of the received view of Habermas’s work in the analysis of mediated discussion. A range of implications for the mediation of deliberation, participation and expression are explored

Jerry Poling Oral History Interview
No full textJerry Poling is the author of the book, A Summer Up North, and has been involved with much research and work on baseball in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Mr. Poling discusses what prompted him to write his book, the love of baseball in Eau Claire, Wisconsin and the surrounding area, and his desire to learn more about Hank Aaron's time in Eau Claire. A comparison between baseball in Eau Claire and baseball nationwide was made involving the progress of baseball in Eau Claire from the 1860s to the 1950s and to the present Northern League team. Mr. Poling, a news-wire editor and a columnist for the Eau Claire Leader Telegram, commented on media coverage of baseball and how the media shaped baseball or vice-versa and how the baseball-media relationship compares to media in other sports. Mr. Poling discussed how he assembled his book, what he learned after the book was published that could have been included, such as his attempt to determine if Ann Landers attended any of Hank Aaron's games. Mr. Poling discusses the Eau Claire Express and other teams of that level. Mr. Poling mentions how his sources felt about how African-American players were viewed and treated in Eau Claire, how the newspaper covered high school baseball but not other youth baseball, and how media accommodations for Carson Park are limited and have changed a little over time. Mr. Poling's most memorable baseball game was during the Brewers' 1982 American League Championship Series. Mr. Poling reminisces about his first trip to a major league ballpark and comments on the present day Brewers team
Tunable acoustic attenuation in dilute suspensions of non-spherical magnetic particles
No full textThe microstructure of suspensions of ferromagnetic particles with subwavelength size can be controlled by an external field, making it possible to develop novel broadband acoustic materials with anisotropic and tunable acoustic properties. In this study we experimentally show that dilute suspensions of nickel micro-flakes exhibit a greater than 20% change in attenuation coefficient at MHz frequencies upon changing the direction of an external magnetic field, at particle volume fractions of only 0.5%. Optical transmission measurements and analysis of the characteristic timescales of particle alignment and chaining are used to study the mechanisms behind this acoustic anisotropy. By making comparison to suspensions of spherical particles, we show that the shape and orientation of the nickel micro-flakes play important roles in the tunable acoustic attenuation of these suspensions.Peer reviewed
