    Introduction Lisa Wedeen’s book “Ambiguities of Domination: Politics, Rhetoric and Symbols in Contemporary Syria” provides an explanation to how purportedly weak autocratic states maintain state power and regime stability within civic spaces. Wedeen attends to this question through a “political ethnography” of the Cult of Assad. She asserts that the political rhetoric surrounding al-Assad as a perfect and godly leader is unconvincing to Syrian citizens. The question then arises: why does the regime devote resources to maintaining this omnipresent propaganda if no one believes it, and perhaps more importantly, why are Syrians complicit in maintaining the cult by parroting the regimes rhetoric? Wedeen argues that this Syrian “civic discourse”

  • The Daughter Of Dawn Analysis

    The Daughter of Dawn The film The Daughter of Dawn, directed by Norbert A. Myles, is important as it portrays a group of Native Americans that are preserved on screen in a way that captures their reality. Even though the voices of these Native Americans are not able to be heard, as it was not possible yet for films in the 1920’s when it was made, the film still accurately portrays the Kiowas. The fact that the Kiowas are able to present themselves as they actually are makes the film very progressive in the sense that the Kiowas are telling their own story with the use of their own costumes as opposed to clothing made for them by a non-Native.
