SIS 640 Communiacs: The Idea of Control
http://sis640communiacs.blogspot.com/2009/12/idea-of-control.html
The creative domain of the Fall 2009 SIS 640 [AU]. Dec 1, 2009. The Idea of Control. There is an apparent continuum in our readings this 'week'. From Singhal to Corman and Tretheway to Fisher to Dutta, in which you return to where you began: the idea of population control. Singhal takes the agenda for granted, focusing on how research on education-entertainment and its effects should be more diverse. He talks about various resistances as an issue to be addressed, a stumbling block. Honestly, when I first...

The creative domain of the Fall 2009 SIS 640 [AU]. Dec 4, 2009. Going wrong in Afghanistan? Show, don't just tell. The latest story to hit the top headlines around the world: “Obama to send in 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan.” Well, it certainly has many implications, but I’ll focus more on the strategic communication aspect, especially in light of our recent class material.

SIS 640 Communiacs: Identity crisis and the shortcomings of “Ice Age” Diplomacy
http://sis640communiacs.blogspot.com/2009/11/identity-crisis-and-negligence-of-ice_17.html
The creative domain of the Fall 2009 SIS 640 [AU]. Nov 17, 2009. Identity crisis and the shortcomings of “Ice Age” Diplomacy. No, I’m not referring to global climate change here. I’m talking about the cartoon, Ice Age 3. Which, according to Amb. Glassman who spoke at SIS on Nov. 5. Can do a far better job in getting the foreigners to like America than many other traditional PD techniques (the cartoon is said to have got into the top five record-breakers.

SIS 640 Communiacs: Subaltern Education Entertainment
http://sis640communiacs.blogspot.com/2009/11/subaltern-education-entertainment.html
The creative domain of the Fall 2009 SIS 640 [AU]. Nov 30, 2009. December 1, 2009 at 12:32 AM. Interesting.I am a fan of EE, and I actually enjoyed these readings. However, after reading your last paragraph, I never considered the fact that the subjects of EE may not know that the objective is to be informed and educated. For instance, I wonder if many viewers of All In the Family understood the underlying purpose of the main characters aggressive use of racial slurs? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

SIS 640 Communiacs: September 2009
http://sis640communiacs.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
The creative domain of the Fall 2009 SIS 640 [AU]. Sep 30, 2009. The readings this week had to do with the power of transnational corporations within the larger context of global media and how mergers, integration, and buyouts are putting much of the world's media in the control of a handful of corporations. This idea is nothing new to me as I have been learning about this trend since my days at De Anza Junior College in Cupertino, CA, but the facts are no less daunting than before. Is the exact point I ...

SIS 640 Communiacs: An Open-Source Approach to Afghanistan
http://sis640communiacs.blogspot.com/2009/11/open-source-approach-to-afghanistan.html
The creative domain of the Fall 2009 SIS 640 [AU]. Nov 27, 2009. An Open-Source Approach to Afghanistan. In "Music for the Jilted Generation: Open-Source Public Diplomacy," Ali Fisher speaks a great deal about new approaches to public diplomacy which are more inclusive of a collective group and take into account how much each culture can learn from one another. That, that goal cannot. Be achieved without creating a safe, stable Afghanistan. And it cannot be made stable unless a process of state. To Dr Gh...

SIS 640 Communiacs: December 2009
http://sis640communiacs.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
The creative domain of the Fall 2009 SIS 640 [AU]. Dec 10, 2009. A somewhat belated reflection on Erdoğan's talk. Some thoughts on the "emerging" power's rhetoric. The agenda of Erdoğan’s visit to Washington this week was clear way in advance. It was not going to be about the relations with Armenia, or Israel, for that matter, despite the wishful thinking of some. Rather, it was going to focus on the current agenda-toppers: Afghanistan and Iran. Of course, we can never know what exactly. Dec 4, 2009.

SIS 640 Communiacs: Creating Credibility
http://sis640communiacs.blogspot.com/2009/11/creating-credibility.html
The creative domain of the Fall 2009 SIS 640 [AU]. Nov 17, 2009. Plenty of information leads to scarcity of attention. Editors and cue-givers become more in demand, and this is a source of power for those who can tell us where to focus our attention." - Glassman. But how do people know what to trust? But this really hints at a deeper issue. One of the objectives of public diplomacy is to convince others that all of our interests coincide. Or: "This soft power —getting others to want the out...The real pr...

The creative domain of the Fall 2009 SIS 640 [AU]. Nov 17, 2009. Chuck Hagel on U.S. Foreign Policy.
