AbstractThis paper explores how gangsters and cancers came to be metaphors of bodily and social disorder, beginning in a media world dominated by print, radio and film and ending in a world where television had come to displace older forms of mass communication. It is a study of the continuities and discontinuities between concerns about television and earlier forms of mass media, and how they shaped the trajectories of the two metaphors of cancer and the gangster. Indeed, I suggest that in the case of these metaphors, anxieties about whether print, film, and radio were polluting or purifying were later extended and adapted to television, and may have contributed to the different fates of the two metaphors. The metaphor of the gangster as applied to cancer faded from public view in the 1970s, while the metaphor of cancer applied to gangsterism seems to have had a longer life.KEYWORDS: Gangsterscancertelevisionfilmmetaphor AcknowledgementsEarly versions of this paper were presented at two meetings: ‘The Visual Culture of Medicine and its Objects,’ held at the Riggs Library, Georgetown University, 23 September 2014 and ‘Locating Medical Television.

摘要本文探讨了黑帮和癌症如何成为身体和社会混乱的隐喻，从一个由印刷、广播和电影主导的媒体世界开始，到一个电视取代旧的大众传播形式的世界结束。它研究了对电视和早期大众媒体形式的关注之间的连续性和不连续性，以及它们如何塑造癌症和黑帮这两个隐喻的轨迹。的确，我认为，在这些隐喻的例子中，关于印刷、电影和广播是污染还是净化的焦虑后来扩展并适应了电视，这可能导致了这两个隐喻的不同命运。20世纪70年代，将癌症比喻为“黑帮”的比喻逐渐淡出了人们的视线，而将癌症比喻为“黑帮”的比喻似乎更长久一些。本文的早期版本在两个会议上发表:“医学的视觉文化及其对象”，于2014年9月23日在乔治城大学里格斯图书馆举行，以及“定位医学电视”。“20世纪医学与卫生的电视空间”，2020年11月11日至13日在线举行。我感谢这些会议的参与者，以及Philipp Stiasny、Alex Mold和匿名推荐人对后来的草稿提供的有益意见。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。1道格拉斯，《纯洁与危险》2把癌症描绘成黑帮道德败坏的标志:影子，《梦想与死胡同》，162和203阿格纽，《癌症修辞的生态学》参见伯克，《恐惧》，300页。Aronowitz，《非自然历史》，163.4 .这篇论文依靠各种数字和纸张来源来识别癌症和黑帮隐喻的生活。数字资源包括各种历史报纸、书籍和电视节目的数据库，可以搜索“gang”和“cancer”的变体。此外，他们还查阅了传统档案，尤其是癌症组织的档案，以及癌症教育和黑帮电影的资料库。这些档案和数据库的完整列表可从作者处获得“公敌二号。“2号公敌。”《事实论坛新闻》第5期。1956年12月12日:14-15和44-6。“头号公敌。”Rock Island Lines News Digest，第7期。1948年4月4日:10。“挠痒痒的人。“赞斯维尔与癌症搏斗。”扶轮社员，73岁，不。1930年之前的例外包括埃德温·纽迪克的《黑帮工厂》。《纽约论坛报》1913年8月31日:B1-B2在B2;哈德利，险恶的阴影，321。麦金利，犯罪和公民癌症。关于20世纪30年代后的作品，请参阅W.A.S.道格拉斯的《公民团体召集的芝加哥犯罪谈判》。巴尔的摩太阳报，1930年6月15日:1;"罗素的命运取决于'四大' "《芝加哥论坛日报》，1930年6月15日:1和10,10;晚宴荣誉工会主席。预测工党将摆脱帮派癌症。”《芝加哥论坛日报》1940年5月17日:5;“市长领导了一场运动，以清除掠夺贸易的帮派。”《纽约时报》，1931年6月26日:4点1分和4分;“联邦人员取得成果。”《纽约时报》，1931年8月23日:2.7奥斯古德·尼科尔斯，“侦探追踪他们的人。”《华盛顿邮报》1934年9月16日:SM5和SM18在SM5.8“希特勒和斯大林被比作卡彭和彭德加斯特。”洛杉矶时报。1939年11月3日:3。参见哈德利，险恶的阴影，321.9“指控癌症身体歹徒。”斯波坎每日纪事报，1931年11月16日:7.10异能，G-Men.11斯克拉，城市男孩，8.12“智力”;“癌症教育有效吗?”蓝石，“癌症教育的重要性”;Lakeman，“癌症教育”;利特尔，《如何教育妇女》;Rigney，《医学宣传有效吗?》13穆丽尔·弗莱明，“示范健康讲座。”魔法部，不。1944年1月1日:32-3。“癌症，疾病中的‘强盗’，是可以治愈的，这是一个信息。”密尔沃基新闻哨兵报，1941年4月13日:10-A;时间就是生命;对抗癌症。关于电影，请参阅康托的《选择生活》。14 Ruth，《发明公敌》，第2-3.15 Isaac F.

AbstractIn the 1950s, many Ghanaians identified with African Americans as they read about events involving American racial violence in Ghanaian newspapers. Yet the transnational connections appearing in those periodicals varied in depth, intensity, and sincerity depending on their political or commercial connections. This study analyzes the reactions in key Ghanaian newspapers, such as those affiliated with Kwame Nkrumah’s Convention People’s Party, the British-owned Daily Graphic, and the Ashanti Pioneer, to key moments in 1950s American race relations, including the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the events in Little Rock, and the infamous ‘Orange Juice’ incident involving discrimination against the Ghanaian minister of finance. By demonstrating that the Pioneer more often covered the personal angles of such events, while the tones of CPP-affiliated papers and even the Daily Graphic vacillated based on changing political needs, this study both shows the complicated nature of transnational racial identifications as they flowed west across the Atlantic and reveals the promises and limits of Ghanaian connections to members of the African diaspora during the decolonizing period in Ghana.KEYWORDS: GhanaKwame Nkrumahcivil rightsracial identificationsdecolonization Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Telegram, Roger Ross and Hyman Bloom to Department of State, “Gold Coast Newspapers,” July 27, 1951, 2, 945H.61/7-2751, Reel 27, CFBA 1950–54.2 Among others, see Borstelmann, Cold War and the Color Line and Dudziak, Cold War Civil Rights.3 Treatments of African American views of foreign relations, Africa, and Ghana include Anderson, Eyes Off the Prize; Anderson, Bourgeois Radicals; Gaines, American Africans in Ghana; Grimm, “Gazing Toward Ghana”; Meriwether, Proudly We can be Africans; Plummer, Rising Wind; Plummer, ed.

This article shows that readers’ letters were selected and edited in late 19th-century Finnish newspapers for a variety of reasons. The criteria for selection and editing fit the four rules identified by professor of journalism Karin Wahl-Jorgensen for the selection of readers’ letters in modern newspapers and it also demonstrates the 1890s newspapers’ role as gatekeepers and the continuing professionalization of journalists. The editors considered the selection and editing of readers’ letters demanding and frustrating, but they also saw themselves as men of principle, the defenders of the free word. The research sources include the correspondence columns and the editors’ writing instructions to the readers in the 1890s press of the Grand Duchy of Finland.

Droughts are a canonical feature of Australian history and climate, and Australia’s paleoclimate and colonial past is dotted with extended periods of low rainfall. The Federation Drought was one such period. The result of a series of El Niño events, it parched much of Australia between 1895 and 1903 and remains one of the most significant and prolonged periods of rainfall deficiency since European colonisation. It also coincided with, and fuelled, a substantial increase in press coverage of the weather. In this article we examine reportage of the Federation Drought through two newspapers from the Victorian city of Bendigo: The Bendigo Advertiser and The Bendigo Independent. We identify themes that have persisted in drought coverage to the present day, highlighting the role the press has played in shaping how communities and policy makers have understood and managed the extremities of Australia’s climate. We also offer insights into the evolution of current drought reportage and the perspectives it enables or silences.
