For my paper, I would like to compare the rhetoric, focus, and intent of media coverage today with that of the sixties. I will discuss the stories, photographs, and editorials used by the Eugene Register Guard to depict the April 15, 1970 University of Oregon anti-ROTC riots, and compare them with coverage of the June 18, 1999 Anarchist riot in downtown Eugene. Specifically, I hope to find out how the Register Guard, as well as the culture it represents, changed (or remained the same) in regards to riots over the last forty years. Did the University of Oregon’s protests of the 1970’s set the standard, or create the form for the protests of 1999 to follow? What tactics do protesters and reporters continue to use, and what tactics were unique to the sixties? These are the questions to which I hope to offer some possible answers, while looking at how local newspapers might have worked with or against rioters in both time periods. Although my research was centered around the Register Guard, I also read Oregon Daily Emerald and Oregonian articles, newspaper clippings in the R. D. Clark Presidential Archives, as well as books discussing the media and the sixties. The comparisons in this paper will primarily be shaped by the opinions and objectives of Eugene Register Guard reporters, editors, photographers, and letter-writing citizens, as well as what I perceive are the political and social views of the time. 91136 bytes application/msword en_US Robert D.

Using assemblage as an organizing theoretical framework, this work identifies the actors involved in the production of Occupy protest camps and traces the trajectories of two Occupy protests from their beginnings to eviction day. It highlights the role of space in the protests, the ways in which protesters negotiated with local authorities for long-term use of public spaces previously prohibited by law, and some of the factors that contributed to the eviction of the protest camps. Finally, it seeks to reframe the debate on public space and conceptualizes public space as an assemblage that is continually made, unmade, and remade through the interactions of diverse, heterogeneous actors. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved. activism assemblage occupy wall street protest public space urban geography Assembling the Protest Camp: Politics, Public Space, and Occupy Protests Electronic Thesis or Dissertation M.A. masters Department of Geography University of Oregon

A print copy of this title is available through the UO Libraries under the call number: SCA Archiv Storage Hoogerhuis 2004 Most people know that the 1960s and early 1970s were volatile years in the United States of America, and particularly for American universities. What many do not know, is that in addition to the well-known protests at Berkeley and Columbia, Kent State and San Francisco State, there are other Universities that experienced these trying times as well. Stories, for example, like the ones that took place on the University of Oregon campus, in Eugene, Oregon: stories that have, for the most part, been lost or forgotten. I ventured into this world of protest and paranoia, students and a changing society, buried deep in the archives at the University of Oregon Library, and came out with a new understanding and appreciation for the lengths that both students and administrators were willing to go to stand up for what they believed. 223744 bytes application/msword en_US Robert D.
