      • Information mobilization: The citizenry's contribution to policy making by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

        Caproni, Max Anthony Flaherty Northwestern University 2000 해외박사(DDOD)

        RANK : 247343

        The citizenry has the potential to make a direct and significant contribution to judicial policy making through information it provides during litigation. This dissertation will assess the citizenry's role as an information mobilizer by examining the information litigants and amici bring to courts via legal briefs and the sources of information judges draw upon when writing opinions. The analysis of briefs and court opinions and interviews with judges and former clerks indicate that: (1) litigant briefs are important in that they provide useful starting points from which the opinion-writing process proceeds, and (2) amicus briefs are relatively unimportant sources of legal issues, authorities, and arguments used in court opinions (although amicus briefs are useful in other respects). The findings regarding the importance of litigant briefs show that the citizenry plays an active role in the judicial policy-making process. Thus, a primary conclusion of this dissertation is that the citizen-initiated mobilization of information via litigant briefs is an important means of political participation that promotes the principle of self-government and acts to relieve tension between judicial policy making and democracy. Regarding the importance of amici briefs, the findings cast doubt on amici participants' ability to achieve their goal of affecting directly the shape of judicial policy. In addition, the findings demonstrate that not only are success rates based on decisional results a crude measure of amicus impact, but that success rates are also a misleading measure. Clearly, winning isn't everything when it comes to amicus participation. This dissertation furthers the work on legal mobilization by extending the discussion to encompass the concept of “information mobilization.” What scholars such as Donald Black and Frances Kahn Zemans say about various types of citizen-initiated contacts can also be said about citizen-initiated mobilization of information. The degree to which judges use information brought to the court by the citizenry, appearing as litigants and amici, makes a critical difference for the “link between the law and the people served or controlled by the law.” Citizens, by acting as information mobilizers, may become directly involved in the policy-making process, thereby making that process more democratic.

      • Casas Montezumas: Chorographies, Ancient Ruins, and Placemaking in the Salt and Gila River Valleys, Arizona, 1694-1868

        Caproni, Linnea K. E ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Arizona State Univ 2017 해외박사(DDOD)

        RANK : 247343

        This dissertation uses the narrative practice of chorography as a genre for assessing the history of placemaking in the Salt and Gila River region of central Arizona from the late seventeenth century through the mid-nineteenth century. Chorography concerns the descriptive representation of places in the world, usually of regions associated with a particular nation. Traditionally, chorography has served as a written method for describing geographical places as they existed historically. By integrating descriptions of natural features with descriptions of built features, such as ancient ruins, chorography infuses the physical landscape with cultural and historical meaning. This dissertation relies on a body of Spanish- and English-language chorographies produced across three centuries to interpret how Euro-American descriptions of Hohokam ruins in the Salt and Gila River valleys shaped local placemaking. Importantly, the disparate chorographic texts produced during the late-seventeenth, eighteenth, and early nineteenth centuries reflect 'discursive continuity'---a continuity of thought spanning a long and frequently disregarded period in the history of central Arizona, in which ruminations about the ruins of ancient cities and irrigation canals formed the basis for what people knew, or thought they knew, about the little-known region. When settlers arrived in the newly-formed Arizona Territory in the 1860s to establish permanent settlement in the Salt and Gila River valleys, they brought with them a familiarity with these writings, maps, and other chorographical materials. On one hand, Arizonans viewed the ancient ruins as literal evidence for the region's agricultural possibilities. On the other hand, Aztec and Cibola myths associated with the ruins, told and retold by Europeans and Americans during the sixteenth through nineteenth centuries, offered an imaginative context for the establishment and promotion of American settlement in central Arizona.
