Only an enemy capable of destroying America's order can constitute a powerful enough threat justifying a full-blown war. Then, we will show how America's enemy is also strategically framed as a "modern savage" in the months and weeks leading up to major conflicts, such as the Iraq war. Then, after looking over the history and definition of the "savage other", we will discuss how the period since the end of the Cold War, now lacking in "identifiable monolithic enemies" (Edwards), is characterized by a resurgence of the figure of the "primitive savage" presented through a series of animal and sexual images and scenery that turn the evil Other into a predator, not unlike the Indian of the Frontier, while making America the heroic figure of the story. We will begin by showing how one of the distinctive features of America's enemies has been their evil nature, a charge which reflects the fusion of religious and secular elements that typifies U.S. This enemy can be categorized as either "primitive" or "modern." The former is portrayed as a decentralized enemy living in a primitive society of instability and chaos, devoid of civilization, whereas the latter is considered a centralized evil agent that has "some semblance of civilization" but is nonetheless savage because their aim is to destroy America's civilized order (Butler). Scholars in communication have shown that the principal image of the enemy in presidential discourse is the "Savage Other" (Ivie Coe Neuman). As Chief Executive and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, he also has the responsibility to protect the nation and define which threats may attack it. national identity and he takes on the role of storyteller-in-chief. As the embodiment of the nation, the president is central to this construction of the U.S. ![]() Whether it takes the form of the American Indians of the Frontier, the British during the American Revolution, the immigrants in the early 20 th century, the Nazis, the Communists, and more recently the terrorists, this Other has three constant characteristics: it is always deemed a threat, somewhat uncivilized and evil, and serves to define national identity by demarcating an "inside" from an "outside," a "self" from an "other," a "domestic" from a "foreign", "civilization" from "savagery" and "good" from "evil" (Butler Campbell Ivie Slotkin). In this respect, the American identity is probably the best example of a "self" understood through "otherness." Research in various disciplines has shown that Americans have long defined themselves through a binary narrative of "us" versus "them" (Butler Coe-Neuman Campbell Edwards Schlesinger). This constructive perspective is all the more useful if we consider nations to be "imagined communities" (Anderson). If identity is developed in relation to the Other, as researchers in the social sciences claim, then a nation's sense of self must also be, to some degree, contingent on its understanding of what constitutes the Other.

![]() Reasons For Boondocking Ban at the Middle Fork WMAĪccording to officials from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Weber County sheriff’s deputies were called out to the WMA 75 times in 2020. Not only is the Middle Fork dispersed camping area closed, the parking area and anywhere within a third of a mile of the parking area is closed for overnight camping. However, it was supposed to open back up to camping on April 10th.īut, citing an “unruly 2020”, officials have decided against allowing campers to stay overnight in the area. The area is currently closed to camping for the winter season. Officials from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources are banning overnight camping at the Middle Fork Campground and wildlife management area through September, 2021. Image Source: Brenton Cooper on Flickr Overnight Camping Banned at Middle Fork WMA… And Then Some ![]() The Middle Fork WMA campground has decent reviews online, but they all follow a common theme… and that’s exactly why boondocking in this area has now been banned. This free campground is located just east of Ogden near the Pineview reservoir. Middle Fork WMA is a wildlife management area located in Weber County in northern Utah. Let’s dive in to what prompted this recent boondocking ban. Just like most boondocking bans that we’ve seen, the reasons for these bans follow a similar trend of outright disrespect for the land and management agencies. I'm sure Swing Arm City is maybe not the average tent camper's ideal, but if you need a place to just sleep.We’ve seen a few boondocking bans this year, and the latest in free camping closures comes from Utah at the Middle Fork WMA. Those spots often have decent roads to get the toy haulers and buses in, but of course can be kinda noisy. I dirt bike and 4x4 in the area and when wet even graded easy roads can be absolutely impassable.Ī way to often find at least something is to look at the OHV staging areas, or places the RV fulltimers use. The Moab area, eg, has strict rules like using wag bags even for dispersed sites.įifth, trust /u/JesusWasALibertarian about wet roads. On FR036 eg going up to the north end of Fish Lake (paved) there are lots of wide spots to camp at, some even with restrooms.įourth, know the rules. Or out of red rock country IF you can find some lower elevation USFS roads. North of I-70, and down in the SE corner might be your best bet. ![]() That area is so popular that even dispersed areas are getting trashed, and can fill up, where almost any driveable pull out is populated. Third, in general the further you get from the Big Five the better chance of finding places. And rental car tires are often shit.so the minivan might have better ones. Often driving off pavement is prohibited, and your insurance might not cover it. I'd suggest you get a good mapping app, and look for roads you can navigate safely into public land. The info isn't vetted, and is often way out date, especially since conditions up dirt roads and during COVID have changed. ![]() So this is good news for everyone - well, unless you have a Kobo or Onyx device. Supported file types: PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, RTF, HTM, HTML, PNG, GIF, JPG, JPEG, BMP, EPUB Max file size: 200 MB Recently sent files. Saying that, the benefit for the users can't be overstated either, and support for EPUB files means there are far more digital books ready to be used on Kindles. Sign in to send files to your Kindle library or specific devices linked to your account. This update really does help Amazon in that regard, removing one hurdle it has in convincing ereader fans to pick up one of its devices. You don't need to individually convert each file - you could easily get a 'Send to Kindle app' as well as the Kobo app, and use them to easily send your entire collection of books to the new device. The Kindle file format also supports images and tables, making it suitable for e-books with complex layouts. Now, if you've got a Kobo but want to buy a Kindle, you've got a much easier job of transferring your entire library over. It's also possible to read PDF and some other generic document formats such as TXT and DOC on Kindle. The AZW3 format tends to have improved performance and to give you a smaller file size so you can load more books. However, AZW3 is preferred over MOBI for a couple of reasons. Kindles only support TrueType (TTF), OpenType (OTF), and TrueType Collection (TTC), so whatever font you add has to be in one of those formats. Most e-book readers also support the PDF and plain text formats. The best file formats to use with your Kindle are AZW3 and MOBI. The EPUB format is the most widely supported e-book format, supported by most e-book readers except Amazon Kindle devices. That would previously have been the case for ereaders - if you have a Kindle, with all its proprietary files, you wouldn't consider moving over, or vice versa. The following is a comparison of e-book formats used to create and publish e-books. When you send an ebook to Send to Kindle, Amazon converts it to their own format and then delivers it to your Kindle (or Kindle app). If you switch from an iPhone to an Android device, none of your App Store purchases will carry over - you'll need to pay again for the same apps. The main thing that'll put people off from switching tech ecosystems, is the data they could lose. Now that Amazon Kindles take the format, every single device on our list of the best ereader can now read and understand the format - and that's great for switching devices.

He’s of course never more comfortable acting than in his native French, but the dialogue is sparse here. Nevertheless, this is one of Van Damme’s best performances. And there is a frankly stupid plot turn where Lukas actually takes his daughter along on one of the dangerous, illegal jobs he has to do for his crime-lord boss… Sure, Dekkers summoned him while he was having some quality time with his daughter, but why didn’t he drop her off at home? Because then she couldn’t have been kidnapped easily enough, that’s why. Lukas’ mysterious past, when revealed, proves too mundane to warrant how long it took to unravel it, and a twist in the final reel lands with a thud, as it involves a character that has had no room for development until then. It’s a perfunctory story, a repetitive succession of simple family moments and scenes where Lukas goes on quick missions for his new boss, while feeding information to Zeroual. In fact, it is so gritty that it sometimes borders on parody: the low thumps and deep industrial growls of the soundtrack, the endless pregnant silences, the dour Belgian suburban landscapes, the absolute absence of humour… The film almost crumbles under the weight of its atmosphere, especially as it doesn’t have much a script to support it. But inevitably, his daughter gets caught in the crossfire, and things get ugly. The bouncer must get his hands dirty to earn his new boss’ trust and graduate to henchman, a position from which he can tip-off the police, and avoid prison. But soon, Lukas is approached by police detective Zeroual (Sami Bouajila), who’s aware of his recent misstep, is trying to nail Dekkers for money counterfeiting, and needs an informant. ![]() ![]() One day, he nearly kills a troublesome clubber by accident: he’s fired but finds a new bouncer position in a strip club whose shady owner Dekkers (Sam Louwyck) is intrigued by his stoic resilience: the job interview consisted of beating up a room-full of men half his age. Van Damme plays Lukas, a former bodyguard who for initially mysterious reasons fled South Africa alone with his 8 year-old daughter (Alice Verset), to start a new life under fake names in Belgium, where he works as a bouncer, trying to make ends meet and give his daughter a brighter future. Now, he goes back to French-speaking cinema with Julien Leclercq’s The Bouncer (aka Lukas), whose muted reception in France doesn’t mean it won’t resonate internationally: after all, JCVD similarly made few waves on its home turf, before acquiring a strong reputation abroad. Since then, Van Damme has kept doing some of his best work as an actor (the weary and then demented return of Luc Devereaux in John Hyams’ excellent Universal Soldier sequels, the self-deprecating and heartfelt meta version of himself in the Amazon series Jean-Claude Van Johnson…) while strengthening his pop culture good-will (voice work in the Kung-Fu Panda films, a villain named Vilain in The Expendables 2…) and starring in a string of mediocre-to-solid but cripplingly cash-strapped direct-to-video thrillers ( Pound of Flesh, Kill ‘em All…). ![]() Still, 2008’s JCVD at least made his acting chops and aching vulnerability evident by being mostly devoid of actions scenes – the arthouse veneer that seems to coat French or Belgian films whenever they travel internationally (even when the film has no arthouse pretentions in its home country) helped, of course. Yet to dismiss Van Damme as an actor is often to prove unable to dissociate a performance from the film in which it is found (simply put: fine acting can happen even with poor scripts), and to deride him is entirely redundant: he’s already deriding himself on a regular basis. Of course, arriving to such a conclusion necessitates piercing through a sometimes thick cloud of overblown 80s and 90s heroics, a haze of coke-induced antics in the early 00s, a whole lot of direct-to-video mediocrity since then, and a handful of hilarious commercials. While many film critics and casual filmgoers seem to date Jean-Claude Van Damme’s first true flexing of his acting muscles back to Mabrouk El Mechri’s JCVD in 2008, the Belgian action star has actually always been a bonafide actor, with a wide range of performances that have taken him across many shades of good and evil, of comedy and drama, of intensity and playfulness.
