*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.

*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*
