Remote Sensing of Night-time Light

Remote Sensing of Night-time Light

Satellite images acquired at night provide a visually arresting perspective of the Earth and the human activities that light up the otherwise mostly dark Earth. These night-time light satellite images can be compiled into a geospatial time series that represent an invaluable source of information for both the natural and social sciences. Night-time light remote sensing has been shown to be particularly useful for a range of natural science and social science applications including studies relating to urban development demography sociology fishing activity light pollution and the consequences of civil war. Key sensors for these time-series include the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program’s Operational Linescan System (DMSP/OLS) and the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership Satellite’s Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite Day/Night Band (Suomi NPP/VIIRS DNB). An increasing number of alternative sources are also available including high spatial resolution and multispectral sensors. This book captures key methodological issues associated with pre-processing night-time light data documents state of the art analysis methods and explores a wide range of applications. Major sections focus on NPP/VIIRS DNB processing; inter-calibration between NPP/VIIRS and DMPS/OLS; applications associated with socio-economic activities applications in monitoring urbanization; and fishing activity monitoring. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Remote Sensing. | Remote Sensing of Night-time Light

Late Night with Trump Political Humor and the American Presidency

Late Night with Trump Political Humor and the American Presidency

Political humor has been a staple of late-night television for decades. The Trump White House however has received significantly greater attention than that of past presidents such as Barack Obama George W. Bush and even Bill Clinton. In response to Trump’s strident politics late-night comics including Stephen Colbert Jimmy Kimmel Trevor Noah and Jimmy Fallon have sounded key policy notes further blurring the boundary between news and satire. Weekly humorists including John Oliver and Samantha Bee extend the critique with in-depth probing of key issues while Saturday Night Live continues to tap the progression from outrage to outrageousness. Using unique content analysis techniques and qualitative discussions of political humor Farnsworth and Lichter show how late-night political humor and these seven programs in particular have responded to the Trump presidency. Employing a dataset of more than 100 000 late night jokes going back decades these noted media scholars discuss how the treatment of Trump differs from previous presidents and how the Trump era is likely to shape the future of political humor. The authors also employ public opinion survey data to consider the growing role these late-night programs play in framing public opinion and priorities. This book will interest scholars the curious public and students of politics communications and the media and contemporary American culture. | Late Night with Trump Political Humor and the American Presidency

Political Communication and Leadership Mimetisation Hugo Chavez and the Construction of Power and Identity

Political Communication and Leadership Mimetisation Hugo Chavez and the Construction of Power and Identity

The long-lasting hegemonic rule of President Hugo Chávez not only involved significant rearrangements in the control of political power in Venezuela but also shifts in the way its citizens constructed connected and interacted with politics. In this book Elena Block explores the political communication style developed by Chávez to transmit his ideologies and engage with his publics — A style that unfolded incrementally between 1998 the year of his first presidential campaign and March 13th 2013 when his death was announced after a long struggle with cancer. What sort of political communication did Hugo Chávez develop to establish hegemony in Venezuela? What made him so popular? Block argues that Chávez’s political communication style can be better understood through the concept of mimetisation a systematic sequence of communicational events and practices whereby the Venezuelan President managed to build a bond with his constituents. Applying a mixed qualitative method of collection and analysis of relevant data this phenomenon is examined via the President’s emotional use of common cultural symbols; dramatized and informalised language; savvy use of communication and media and boost of inclusive compensatory and participatory practices in which his constituents not only felt mimetically mirrored but also endowed with an identity. Shedding new light on contemporary theories of populism from the perspective of political communication and identity construction the notion of mimetisation can be adjusted and applied to study the links of populist phenomena the mediatisation of politics and government cultural appeal and identity politics in other cultures and situations in contemporary times. | Political Communication and Leadership Mimetisation Hugo Chavez and the Construction of Power and Identity

Boss Tweed The Story of a Grim Generation

Boss Tweed The Story of a Grim Generation

No political scandal in American history has had a greater impact on America's political consciousness than the rise and fall of the Tweed Ring in New York City between 1866 and 1871. In an age ripe with scandal both public and private the spectacular corruption charged to Boss Tweed and his associates-estimates of their extortion range from $20 million to $200 million-became an enduring symbol of the dark side of democratic politics. The Tweed Ring contributed much more than cartoonist impressions; it helped to shape a powerful theory of political reform. It was in truth one of the formative events of progressivism that multifaceted doctrine that has evolved into the modern American creed. In this sense the Tweed Ring was to produce not only deep misgivings about the existing regime but an insight into how it should be reformed. Denis Tilden Lynch's biography of Boss Tweed was first published in 1927 in a time filled like Tweed's with sudden prosperity daunting problems and spectacular scandals. It is a straight-forward workmanlike study untroubled by the conceits of modern historical scholarship and close enough to its subject's generation to have some of the immediacy of journalism. Of all the books published about the Tweed affair Lynch's study is the only one that is a genuine biography in which the man himself is the focus. For this reason it conveys something of the texture of daily life in New York in the nineteenth century while bringing Tweed out from behind the shadows of Thomas Nast's leering cartoons and presenting him as much as is possible as a man and not an icon. An interesting example of Americana this volume will be of interest to historians of the period as well as those interested in American urban and political life. | Boss Tweed The Story of a Grim Generation

Open Mic Night Campus Programs That Champion College Student Voice and Engagement

Open Mic Night Campus Programs That Champion College Student Voice and Engagement

WINNER OF 2018 AERA DIVISION B OUTSTANDING BOOK AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING EDITED COLLECTION IN CURRICULUM STUDIESWhile campuses across the United States have been offering spoken word programs for over 20 years little attention has been paid to their purpose and impact beyond their contribution to the campus social aesthetic. There is an increasing understanding that performance poetry and spoken word is much more than entertainment. Within disciplines such as English Ethnic Women’s and Cultural Studies scholarship has identified spoken word’s role in developing political agency among young adults; its utility for promoting authentic youth voice; and its importance as a tool of cultural engagement. This book – compiled by scholar artists including internationally recognized spoken word performers – offers guidance to student affairs professionals on using spoken word as a tool for college student engagement activism and civic awareness. It makes the case that campus event spaces need to transcend their association with the theatre or art departments to provide a venue where students are allowed to be different and find opportunities for personal and intellectual development and civic engagement. Open mic nights offer college students a way to speak out advocate lead educate and explore with their peers. This book presents a mix of critical essays and college student writing that explore themes of spoken word student engagement and campus inclusion and address these key topics:• Spoken word as an educational civic engagement and personal development tool (particularly among traditionally marginalized communities)• The links between spoken word and social activism (art as social action; art as a form of civic leadership)• The importance of privileging student voice in student affairs programming (even when they yell; even when they’re angry)• The challenges that come with engaging students in exploring intersecting concepts like race gender and class• Considerations for creative and intentional spoken word programming (What does a creative program look like?) • Scaling up for sustainability (through student affairs/academic affairs partnerships study abroad collaborations etc. ). | Open Mic Night Campus Programs That Champion College Student Voice and Engagement

Philadelphia Patricians and Philistines 1900-1950

Philadelphia Patricians and Philistines 1900-1950

An unorthodox historian known and respected for his work on the grand conflicts of nations and civilizations John Lukacs has peopled a smaller canvas in this volume with seven colourful figures who flourished in Philadelphia before 1950. Their stories are framed by chapters that describe the city in 1900 and in 1950. The Philadelphians selected are a political boss Boies Penrose; a magazine mogul Edward Bok; an elegant writer Agnes Repplier; an impetuous diplomat William C. Bullitt; a lawyer George Wharton Pepper; a prophet of decline Owen Wister; and a great art collector Albert C. Barnes. The political boss was perhaps the most monumental political figure of his age. The magazine mogul was the most famous embodiment of the American success story during his lifetime. The now almost forgotten writer was the Jane Austen of the essay. The diplomat was the most brilliant of ambassadors. The terrible-tempered collector was a radical proponent of his unusual theory of art. Through these seven portraits Lukacs paints a picture of Philadelphia that is like all living things having the power to change out of recognition and yet remain the same. This work is a must read for all historians and Philadelphians. | Philadelphia Patricians and Philistines 1900-1950

Performing Religion on the Secular Stage

Performing Religion on the Secular Stage

This book examines the relations between Western religion secularism and modern theater and performance. Sharon Aronson-Lehavi posits that the ongoing cultural power of religious texts icons and ideas on the one hand and the artistic freedom enabled by secularism and avant-garde experimentalism on the other has led theatre artists throughout the twentieth century to create a uniquely modern theatrical hybrid–theater performances that simultaneously re-inscribe and grapple with religion and religious performativity. The book compares this phenomenon with medieval forms of religious theater and offers deep and original analyses of significant contemporary works ranging from plays and performances by August Strindberg Hugo Ball (Dada) Jerzy Grotowski and Hanoch Levin to those created by Adrienne Kennedy Rina Yerushalmi Deb Margolin Milo Rau and Sarah Ruhl. The book analyzes a new and original historiography of a uniquely modern theatrical phenomenon a study that is of high importance considering the reemergence of religion in contemporary culture and politics. | Performing Religion on the Secular Stage
