Black legislative caucuses allow blacks to leverage their strength in numbers and best advocate for shared interests. This chapter examines the conditions under which 32 state legislative black caucuses emerged, from 1966 to 1986. It also provides the first systematic analysis of the emergence of state legislative black caucuses, and it presents a new theory of black caucus emergence by combining two existing explanations of why these entities form. The findings show that legislative black caucuses are more likely to form than not when around 17 blacks serve in office. However, there is more to the emergence of black caucuses than black presence. Democratic seat share and the number of standing committees in states also influence the emergence of black caucuses.

The article is devoted to the study of evaluative tools used in modern French media in order to form the media image of a representative of the political elite. The techniques used in the creation of a memorial media portrait of Jacques Chirac (1932—2019), President of France from 1995 to 2007 are considered. The research material was the most prestigious French print media of various political orientations, published in late September — early October 2019 in connection with the death of the ex-President of the French Republic. The relevance of the research topic is dictated by the close attention of modern linguistics to axiological phenomena, differently presented in different types of discursive practices. The novelty of the study is due to the appeal to the analysis of the complex of evaluation tools used in the French print media when characterizing the former leader of the state during the nation’s farewell period. The estimated potential of the title of the article and its influence on the formation of the estimated vector of the entire text of the publication are shown. A systematic analysis of the assessment expression means, reflected in the memorial media portrait of the politician, is given. The factors that influenced the peculiarities of their use in this type of media portrait are revealed.

This article provides a method for the analysis of the visual narratives present in the archival footage in programs of TV news, based on an analysis of TV news on war crime trials transmitted by Serbian TV stations. The archival footage in TV news presents specific claims as to an understanding of the trials, as it is assumed to present the ‘reality’ of war, re-enacting the past and eliciting viewers’ emotions. The author argues that the visual narratives emerging from the selection and editing of archival footage create specific meanings of the past, and provide a method for their analysis, applying social semiotic multimodal analysis and drawing on structural narrative analysis. The patterning of the visual narratives in the archival footage contributes to the creation of an artificial memory of war, signaling a particular version of the past within the preferred meaning of a TV news channel. The main advantage of this method is that it enables a systematic analysis of visual narratives in the archival footage, revealing the ideological work of sign-makers embedded in the visual structure.

As a genre defined by its content rather than by its form, the extreme diversity of the kinds of texts that can be considered “hagiographic” often proves an impediment to the progress of comparative hagiology. This essay offers some suggestions for the creation of a controlled vocabulary for the formal description of hagiographic texts, demonstrating how having a more highly developed shared language at our disposal will facilitate both the systematic analysis and the comparative discussion of hagiography.

Introduction. Alongside with other cultural initiatives, the development of the theatre movement as a forerunner of the creation of the Mari national theatre was the result of the development of Mari cultural nationalism in the early twentieth century. The purpose of this article is to consider the facts of the prehistory of the creation of the Mari national theatre, which was set up in November 1919, and the factors that influenced the development of the theatre movement among Mari people. Materials and Methods. To achieve the goals, the author reviewed the first Mari periodicals, research and publications on the history of the Mari theatre and the development of the national movement, and the protocols of the Mari congresses. The systematic analysis of sources for the reviewed period, an attempt to restore events in chronological order allows us to formulate the most objective answers to the research problems. Results and Discussions. One of the key factors that influenced the development of the Mari theatre movement and interest to the theatre was the movement for the national and cultural education and development of the Mari people, initiated by Mari cultural nationalists that gradually developed since the beginning of the twentieth century. Prehistory of the creation of the Mari national theatre in November 1919 goes back about ten years and it is linked with the publication of the first periodical in the Mari language “Marla calendar”, development of literary creativity in the Mari language, and the first amateur initiatives to stage performances. The climax of this prehistory was the decisions made by the first Mari forums on theatre issues, and the rapid development of interest to the theatre among the people in 1917–1919. Along with this factor, the cultural and social specific features of Mari played an important role: a theatrical tradition in the festive and ritual spheres and the low level of literacy of the people in this period. Conclusion. The processes of development of modern Mari national culture, began with the publication of “Marla calendars”, were crucial for the entire Mari people. The ideological contradictions that appeared with the development of Soviet power among the Mari intelligentsia did not immediately begin to influence the work of the first Mari playwrights. The supporters of different ideological movements were the colleagues for many years. Although they had disagreements, they acted in a single direction in the development of their native people, in particular in support of the theatre movement. Newspaper publications and increased dramatic creativity clearly indicate that the Mari activists intuitively, and sometimes purposefully, fuelled interest in theatrical creativity, promoted and, thus, preceded the appearance of their own national professional theatre.

Scientific creationism has been brought forcefully to the attention of the American public in recent years. From a small beginning in 1963, the creationist societies have grown until they now number their membership in the thousands. Not only their growth, but also their tactics and strategies at the local level, the state legislative houses and the courtrooms, are noteworthy. Most publications dealing with the phenomenon of scientific creationists have dealt with their beliefs; this paper summarises their attempts to have their own beliefs given equal time in the American educational system. Using an historical approach, it is possible to document how the scientific creationists operate, and where their strengths and weaknesses are as a fundamentalist organization. In conclusion, some of the effects of the current resurgence of the creation - evolution controversy are discussed.

Marine transgression and the landward migration of coastlines in response to sea-level rise will determine the future of coastal ecosystems and species worldwide, yet no complete model of these processes exist. Ghost forests, areas where coastal forest has been killed by saltwater inundation, are an attention-grabbing early indicator of marine transgression. Research on marine transgression to date has largely been limited to place-based studies that, due to logistical constraints and foci of expertise, investigate subsets of the potential drivers of marine transgression. Here I take advantage of new open source datasets to provide the first systematic analysis of marine transgression across large scales, focusing on the creation of ghost forests across a region of ecological and scientific importance, the northeast U.S. My analysis provides the first synthesis of the physical, ecological, and disturbance factors that influence marine transgression. It also provides crucial regional context for more intensive studies that have a limited geographic scope. I found that ghost forests are a rare phenomenon in the landscape context: 95% of recent forest loss is concentrated in less than 3.86% of marshes, and between 2000 and 2018, only 0.88% of the entire forested area of the transgression zone experienced loss. As a result of this rarity, regional variation in marine transgression is largely driven by opportunities for rare events, which are more numerous when suitable conditions, such as shallow slopes, cover extensive areas. Quantifying recent trends in the rate of forest loss found little evidence of acceleration, with evidence instead suggesting that fewer ghost forests are being created. I also found that physical, ecological, and disturbance factors, including hurricane impacts, were all important for understanding recent trends in forest loss, suggesting that an interdisciplinary approach is warranted for future analyses and modeling of marine transgression. Such interdisciplinary research is urgently needed, as the current rate of marine transgression points to the likelihood of near-term losses of coastal wetlands, with dire implications for the species that depend on them.

Systematic analysis of the impact of tourism can help entrepreneurs in tourism and participants in local government. Research on the perception of the effects of tourism on the population is useful in introducing new forms of tourism and the creation of developmental programs. The aim of paper based on the survey questionnaires of the events "Opening of the tourist season in Nitra" in 2014 and "Opening Nitra´s cultural summer" in 2019 is to identify the perception of these very popular events by their visitors. Analysis of the results is a reference basis on which it will be possible to identify specifics and changes in tourism in Nitra in relation to the period marked by the pandemic COVID-19. In both years, information was obtained from 307 of respondents through a questionnaire survey. Subsequently, they were processed and visualized in Microsoft Excel. The results of both surveys pointed to the continuing interest in events in Nitra. In general it can be stated that most of the most attended events (except international theatre festival Divadelná Nitra) is gastro targeting a relatively smaller share of cultural content. The implementation of the questionnaire surveys are perceived as a very important source of feedback from visitors, resp. inhabitants also from the Municipal Office in Nitra point of view.

In recent years, the issue of innovation in marketing channels has assumed an increasing importance, but this topic has been considered in reference to specific areas of innovation or to single categories of subjects within channels. Despite this, there is a lack of contributions that provide guidelines to excel in innovative retail channels. This chapter aims at describing the set of features of benchmark firms awarded for the innovation in retail channels and proposing an illustrative framework to be followed by retailers who choose the path of innovation. This objective is carried out throughout a systematic analysis of related literature both on innovation and benchmark in retail channels and throughout the analysis of 127 benchmark retailers awarded with two important prizes for innovation in the period 2011-2014. Results allow the creation of a set of best practices for innovative retailers, thus providing an important contribution to this topic.
