*She May Be Hot, but She is Also Really Crazy: Celebrity Deconversion Narratives*

Andrew Connolly

Both Megan Fox and Katy Perry have discussed their Pentecostal past in magazine interviews, but the follow-up press has reacted very differently to the two celebrities on this subject. This paper looks at the formal differences between the interviews which prompted the different responses.*http://bit.ly/crasaps1*

*La télévision publique aux États-Unis à un tournant de son histoire : vers une résurgence ?*

Hélène Palmeri

Constatant le regain d’intérêt pour les médias publics aux États-Unis depuis 2008, ainsi que la réminiscence de la philosophie futuriste dans les discours officiels, nous nous penchons sur la réalité des médias publics 2.0 et sur la place de la télévision publique dans le contexte de l’Amérique d’Obama. Nous examinons les contradictions et les problèmes hérités de la tradition libérale et décrivons comment la télévision publique a émergé aux États-Unis afin de discerner ce qu’il reste aujourd’hui de l’idéal initial et d’évaluer si les conditions sont favorables aux médias publics. *http://bit.ly/crasaps2*

*Of Geography and Race: Some Reflections on the Relative involvement of the Discipline of Geography in the Spatiality of People of Colour in the United States*

Elyes Hanafi

This article examines the approach of the discipline of human geography in the United States to the theme of race and, by extension, its position toward people of colour. The article endeavours to reveal the relative implication of the discipline since its modern era in the reification of ideas and stereotypes that had traditionally been attached to people of colour and seeks to expose its partial role in the race-based spatial distribution of the population at large. Notwithstanding the typical change in geographic methodology in relation to race in the 1960s, this, however, was not accompanied by an adoption of a profound conception of race as a socio-historical construct that ought not to be gauged solely through the lens of quantification and empiricism. This concern has recently been echoed by a number of critical geographers who seem to be cognizant of the power and magnitude of race in the continuing spatialization of people of colour.*http://bit.ly/crasaps3*

*Coming to Terms with the Murderer: Explanatory Mechanisms and Narrative Strategies in Three American Novels with Transgressive Protagonists*

John Dale

The attempt to rehabilitate a murdering protagonist is common in American fiction. In naturalist novels this is achieved by ‘explaining’ the crime. However, a parallel strategy involving rehabilitation of the murderer through the manipulation of the reader’s sympathies is also in play. This last achieves greater prominence by mid–twentieth century. *http://bit.ly/crasaopj16d*

*Transitional Justice, Termination Policies, and the Politics of Literary Affect in Chrystos’ /Not Vanishing/*

Cheryl Suzack

This essay discusses Chrystos’ poetry, arguing that it explores the relationship between aesthetics, politics, and affect by portraying the limits of sovereign agency as a paradigm that provides an explanatory and rational account for understanding the poet’s racialized, gendered, and occupied subjectivity. It proposes that poetry represents an important genre for attuning social justice actors to experiences of injustice that do not conform to the demands placed on them by adjudicatory processes, and it suggests that cultural texts by Indigenous authors provide an important context to the ongoing experience of social injustice by redirecting our attention to political events and situations that organize and originate victims’ claims.*http://bit.ly/crasaopj16e*
