<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Thanks for your responses thus far re this roundtable (E. Moore Quinn's "state and containment" angle in Ireland is extremely relevant -- thanks, Moore</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">).
Which makes me suggest thinking past the words </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">"incarceration" and "journalism" and more about narrative,
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">(fractal) recursivity, memory, emotion, repatriation, justice, power, </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">etc.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The journalist/advocate participants in the roundtable </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">will provide the ethnographic context from their lived perspectives (San Quentin and beyond)</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">;
we can provide ways of thinking and critiquing from our perspectives -- </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">about individual, other, community, remedy, etc. A conversation will ensue. </span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br>
</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">NB: You DON'T have to write an abstract for a roundtable! Just tell me you are interested or have something to say and I'll take it from there.</span></p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Here is an LA Times article I use to teach about genre, reframing, identity, context, and markedness (and the role of culture and folkloric expression in obits more generally). Bill Drummond
will be on the roundtable.</span></p>
