Despite its 140 years of history, Russian ethnic press in the United States has been an untapped area in media research. Who are Russian Americans? Where do their loyalties lie? Can multiculturalism overcome partisanship in highly conflictual situations? What answers to all these questions do Russian ethnic newspapers have in store? This book addresses our knowledge gap with respect to Russian ethnic media in the U.S. and attempts to shed light on ethnic and political identity of Russian Americans. It examines news coverage of eight U.S.-Russian foreign policy controversies, including the tone of the coverage, attributes assigned to the two countries, and whether or not the conflict between them has been emphasized in each case. It strives to understand whether or not Russian ethnic newspapers in the United States consistently support one side over the other and, ultimately, whether people reading these newspapers are more likely to consider themselves American, Russian or a combination of both. ...

Excerpt: Boris Abramovich Berezovsky (Russian: ; also known as Platon Elenin; born January 23, 1946) is a Russian businessman, mathematician, member of Russian Academy of Sciences, who was accused of numerous crimes in Russia and sentenced to several years of imprisonment in absentia. Despite the fact that arrest warrant has been issued to Interpol by Russian and Brazilian authorities, Berezovsky is currently a political refugee in Britain, that refused to extradition requests from Russia several times so far. He is best known for his role as a Russian oligarch, media tycoon and infamous politician during the presidency of Boris Yeltsin in the 1990s. He has been described by critics as the epitome of Russian "robber capitalism", but he denies having ever taken part in the violence and crime that tainted Russian business during that era. Berezovsky was at the height of his power in the later Yeltsin years, when he was deputy secretary of Russia's security council, a friend of Boris Yeltsin's daughter Tatyana Dyachenko, and a member of the Yeltsin inner circle, or "family". Berezovsky made his fortune by capturing state assets at knockdown prices during Russia's rush towards privatisation in very questionable ways. He took ownership of the Sibneft oil company and became the main shareholder in the country's main television channel, ORT, which he turned into a propaganda vehicle for Boris Yeltsin in the run-up to the 1996 presidential election. It is said that, in contrast to Russian entrepreneurs such as Vladimir Gusinsky, Berezovsky did not en...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=355478 ... Read more

Product Description

In this original study, Milne moves between close readings of letters, postcards and emails, and investigations of the material, technological infrastructures of these forms, to answer the question: How does presence function as an aesthetic and rhetorical strategy within networked communication practices? As her work reveals, the relation between old and new communication systems is more complex than allowed in much contemporary media theory.

Although the correspondents of letters, postcards and emails are not, usually, present to one another as they write and read their exchanges, this does not necessarily inhibit affective communication. Indeed, this study demonstrates how physical absence may, in some instances, provide correspondents with intense intimacy and a spiritual, almost telepathic, sense of the other’s presence. While corresponding by letter, postcard or email, readers construe an imaginary, incorporeal body for their correspondents that, in turn, reworks their interlocutor’s self-presentation. In this regard the fantasy of presence reveals a key paradox of cultural communication, namely that material signifiers can be used to produce the experience of incorporeal presence.
