Abstract:
The paper is written in reply to Christopher Oleson's “Dignitas personae and the Question of Heterologous Embryo Transfer” in this issue. Oleson provides a very perceptive and comprehensive commentary on the key texts. This reply articulates my reasons for continued skepticism on whether Dignitas personae has settled the question on embryo rescue. The source of my skepticism concerns Oleson's key premise according to which heterologous embryo transfer for treating infertility and for rescue are the same moral acts. I argue that they are in fact different moral acts not merely in virtue of different intentions, but in virtue of their order. Embryo transfer is properly ordered to the end of rescue, but is inapposite for treating infertility—as this would replace the conjugal act. I conclude by offering several reductio ad absurdum arguments that argue in favor of embryo rescue.

Abstract:
In a heteronormative society, boys and girls are trained to dress and act in ways regarded appropriate for their respective genders. Even during play, a boy is expected to indulge only in activities that are traditionally considered masculine. A. A. Milne was inspired by his son’s pretend play to write the Pooh books. From the illustrations in the book, which were modeled upon the real Christopher Robin and his toys, and various biographical material on the Pooh books, it can be discerned that the young boy was dressed in a gender-nonconforming fashion. This article probes this paradox of gender performativity in Christopher Robin’s character in Winnie-the-Pooh (1926), wherein the child performs acts considered masculine in his imaginative play, while going against gender norms in his real-life appearance.

This research was done to reveal the dominant form of Directive Speech Act (DSA) usage in Ready or Not Movie by Guy Busick and R Christopher Murphy, which was released in 2019. To reveal the form of directive speech act used by some characters in the conversation, it was considered to use theory by Yule about the directive speech act, and the data were analyzed by using a qualitative descriptive method. This current research shows that there was 52 (fifty-two) form of directive speech act used in the movie. The detail forms were 29 (twenty-nine) or 55.7% command, 20 (twenty) or 38.4% requests, 5 (five) or 9.6% suggestions, and 3 (three) or 5.7% warnings. Therefore, it can be concluded that the dominant directive is the command. Keywords:Speech Acts, Directive Speech Acts,form of Directive, Movie

Abstract:
Abstract This article examines the works of Christopher Wordsworth (1807–85), who has hitherto been neglected as an important and intriguing figure in the history of travel writing on Greece. His texts, which invite readers to ‘view’ the country from mountain-tops and to imagine its caves and quarries filled with ancient figures, highlight the importance of landscape as a frame for studying classical reception. Wordsworth ‘received’ ancient Greece through its visible, modern landscape in three ways: through a sense of the landscape as a container for memory, through the use of specific landscapes as springboard for ‘flights of fancy’ enabling a vivid engagement with the classical past, and as a tool for better interpreting and understanding the history and literature of the ancient Mediterranean. Christopher Wordsworth constructed a vision of ancient Greece for his readers through his description of the nineteenth-century landscape. As such he offers an important reminder to consider the role played by the embodied experience of space and place in analysing acts of classical reception.

Abstract:
Is it possible to understand the acts of listening and reading as creative processes and if so, which types of knowledge do these acts generate? By collocating the creativity thinkers Christopher Frayling and Niels Lehmann(and through him, Edward de Bono), the paper presents a phenomenologically inspired method that understands listening and reading as creative processes. One of the points of the paper is to investigate if and how creativity thinking is perhaps imbued with implicit dimensions like spatiality and non-linearity. Birgitte Stougaard Pedersen drøfter, hvordan kunstneriske og videnskabelige praksisformer kan relateres uden at medieres. Med artiklen indtager Stougaard Nielsen en fænomenologisk position, som bl.a. slår til lyd for, at lyttestrategier kan struktureres metodisk – med kreative greb – som ‘rand’semantiske, fænomenologiske dimensioner. Artiklen undersøger operative og teoretiske aspekter af kreative læse- og lyttestrategier og drøfter muligheden for at træde ind i og ud af rollen som fænomenologisk lyttende betragter.

Abstract:
In a 1995 AJPS article, Christopher Wlezien advanced the notion that the public acts in an Eastonian manner as a thermostat for shaping policy preferences. I assert Wleziens use of a GLS-ARMA approach may be a true mis-specification problem. I propose the use of a fixed-effects model. Using both the older version of MICROCRUNCH and the newer version of RATS, I test Wleziens models and his hypotheses. The results in MICROCRUNCH are somewhat different from the original, whilst the results from RATS suggest that the findings of Wlezien are not nearly as significant as assumed.

Abstract:
Christopher Marlowe's two-part Tamburlaine the Great (published 1590) captures all of the spirit and something of the scope of legendary violence the historical Tamerlane levied against his enemies. In the course of ten acts Tamburlaine's armies roll over several nations and cultures, leaving thousands of civilians enslaved or worse. Marlowe's graphic representation of the trail of blood and brutality is itself notorious.In the interest of founding his own legend as the hypermasculine “Generall of the world” (1:5.1.451), Tamburlaine practices virtual genocide against his enemies and ethnocide against their cities, religions, and ways of life. By no means does he work alone. The soldier-males who serve in his armies eagerly follow his lead.

Abstract:
The Columbus statue in Barcelona is visited by millions of tourists each year and is one of the most well-known memorials dedicated to the “discovery” of the Americas. By looking at the productive nature of memorialisation, this paper questions this narrative of discovery. It looks at the history of the conquest of America as a moment of violence and massacre. Following the idea of coloniality of power and coloniality of being, this paper seeks to explore the relationship between coloniality and commemoration by analysing the different meanings of the statue of Columbus in Barcelona. I problematize and reconceptualise the monument from a decolonial perspective that highlights the subjugated knowledge of colonial conquest. I utilise the notion of epistemologies of ignorance to highlight how the statue is a representation of the master narrative of colonialism and consequently how this narrative acts to silence counter narratives of Columbus and Spanish history. Colonial monuments such as the Columbus statue are a tribute to on-going coloniality and the continuation of violence against racial ‘Others’. Thus, what is presented as a normative tribute to discovery is re-presented in this paper as a memorial to war and genocide.

Full text
Abstract:
The Protestant community is articulated through liturgy, history, and drama. Liturgy teaches communal bonds and scripts their enactment, while narrative and dramatic depictions of the collective past appeal to the imagination of readers and viewers. Liturgy and literature are joined by the participation they invite, which engages parishioners, readers, and audiences with questions of affiliation and collectivity. Lack of attention to the ways Renaissance texts pondered over and produced bonds of commonality has sidetracked us from the communal nature of the period. We need to reevaluate such bonds to better understand how English culture imagined relationships between individual and community, and between people and institutions---including church and theatre. When orthodox writing is treated as doctrine and praxis, and not as a means for political indoctrination, we gain a different understanding of the potential for human relationships, one more generous and reciprocal than the model of coercion that has dominated literary studies. Such reciprocity is found in Church of England liturgy, and in the imaginative space of Foxe's Acts and Monuments, which seeks to forge the Protestant community through an ethics of reading. Imaginative space was also a public space, and Shakespeare's King John and Marlowe's The Massacre at Paris reflect upon religious affiliation in moments of war and atrocity; both plays represent very tangled lines of identification that do not endorse Catholic-Protestant factions but undo them. Religious writing and public theatre explored the precarious balance between community and individual, offering readers and audiences a vehicle for thinking about their own immediate lives and their sense of belonging.

Abstract:
In this thesis I suggest that the work of the four contemporary poets studied manifests the vital role perceptual experience plays in the creation of literary texts. I engage primarily in the analysis of particular texts in order to argue for a shift in critical focus away from the explicit manipulation or exteriorization of the physical aspects of poetry (for example versification and explicit visual presentation) in order to concentrate on the role sensory aspects of thought play within it. Emphasis is therefore put on the way these poets draw from sensory experience, and the effect this has on the way their poetry functions. A shift away from traditional critical vocabulary is considered necessary in part due to the fact that discussions of the physical aspects of poetry often carry with them a variety of preconceptions concerning the nature of language, thought and the thinking subject. The tendency to pose dividing lines between mind and body, word and image, the physical and non-physical aspects of language has characterized the history of Western thought, and neither literature nor literary criticism have been exempt from the conceptual presuppositions inherent in such binary systems. Here, I consider how the work of Pierre Alferi, Valère Novarina, Anne Portugal and Christophe Tarkos transcends such dualisms, using the analysis of specific works to develop a critical approach that reflects their exploration of the ambiguity of the boundaries that separate different sorts of experience and means of expression. The thesis is therefore structured around the development of three concepts, ‘pensée-vue’, ‘pensée-voix’ and ‘pensée-toucher’, inspired directly by the texts studied, that are intended to indicate the vital role different forms of perception play in both the creation and experience of poetic texts. It is hoped that the development of an approach that emphasizes the connection between thought, perception and creativity will suggest the fertility of a shift in critical focus in domains beyond that of contemporary French poetry.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines 'improvement' of wetland commons in early modern England as a contested process of rapid environmental change. As a flagship project of agrarian improvement, drainage sought to alchemise pastoral fen commons into arable enclosed terra firma and promised manifold benefits for crown, commoners, and commonwealth alike. In practice, however, improvement schemes generated friction between the political and fiscal agendas of governors and projectors and local communities' customary ways of knowing and using wetland commons, provoking the most sustained and violent agrarian unrest of the seventeenth century. This thesis situates the first state-led drainage project in England, in the northern fens of Hatfield Level, in the context of the local politics of custom, national legal and political developments, and international movements of capital, expertise, and refugees; all of which intersected to reshape perceptions and management of English wetlands. Drawing on the analytic perspectives of environmental history, this thesis explores divergent ideas and practices generating conflict over the making of private property, reorganisation of flow, and reconfiguration of lived environments. This thesis argues that different 'environing' practices - both mental and material - distinguished what was seen as an ordered or disordered landscape, determined when and how water was understood as a resource or risk, and demarcated different scales and forms of intervention. Rival visions of the fenscape, ways of knowing land and water, and concepts of value and justice were productive of, and produced by, different practices of management, ownership, and use. Drainage disputes therefore crossed different spheres of discourse and action, spanning parliament, courtroom, and commons to bring improvement into dialogue with fen custom and generate a contentious environmental politics. In seven substantive chapters, this thesis investigates how improvement was imagined, legitimised, and enacted; how fen communities experienced and navigated rapid environmental transformation; and how political, social, and spatial boundaries were reforged in the process. By grounding improvement in the early modern fenscape, this thesis reintegrates agency into accounts of inexorable socio-economic change, illuminates ideas at work in social contexts, and deepens understandings of environmental conflict.

Abstract:
Il presente lavoro è volto ad esaminare come l’agiografia (e in particolare, l’agiografia siriaca) abbia concepito, reinterpretato e riscritto il rapporto tra santità e potere politico. Tuttavia osserviamo che spesso il testo agiografico non ha (solo) vita indipendente; spesso il testo, nella tradizione manoscritta e successivamente a stampa, fa parte di un complesso di testi più o meno ampio, di cui fanno parte, insieme ad esso, altri testi della stessa o di diversa natura: parliamo di collezioni agiografiche laddove ci troviamo di fronte a una raccolta di materiale testuale per lo più agiografico, composto da Vite e Martiri, cui possono talvolta associarsi testi di carattere spirituale/ascetico o dottrinale o altro. Il testo agiografico facente parte della collezione non può dunque più essere inteso esclusivamente come opera indipendente ma, per essere pienamente compreso in tutto il suo significato o per meglio dire nei potenziali vari significati che esso ha assunto nell’arco della sua storia, deve essere studiato “in contesto”, come parte integrante di un corpus testuale, che è la collezione agiografica. Alla luce di queste considerazioni, lo studio si sviluppa in tre direzioni: a) l’analisi delle collezioni agiografiche, della loro struttura e delle ragioni che si possono intravedere dietro questa (Part I.1); b) all’interno di un più ampio contesto rappresentato dal doppio rapporto che il testo agiografico ha con la letteratura e con la storia, il tentativo di analizzare come il rapporto tra santità e potere sia stato sviluppato attraverso le varie narrazioni e tipologie narrative, generi letterari e secoli (Part I.2); c) a livello filologico, le edizioni critiche di quattro testi agiografici (gli atti dei Martiri Persiani Barḥadbešabba, Badmā e Miles, Aboursam and Sinay, la versione siriaca degli Atti di Cristoforo cinocefalo) le cui ormai datate edizioni non rispecchiano i rigorosi criteri che la critica testuale contemporanea richiede (Part II).

Full text
Abstract:
American jurisprudence currently applies two incompatible validity standards to determine which laws are enforceable. The natural law tradition evaluates validity by an uncertain standard of divine law, and its methodology relies on contradictory views of human reason. Legal positivism, on the other hand, relies on a methodology that commits the analytic fallacy, separates law from its application, and produces an incomplete model of law. These incompatible standards have created a schism in American jurisprudence that impairs the delivery of justice. This dissertation therefore formulates a new standard for legal validity. This new standard rejects the uncertainties and inconsistencies inherent in natural law theory. It also rejects the narrow linguistic methodology of legal positivism. In their stead, this dissertation adopts a pragmatic methodology that develops a standard for legal validity based on actual legal experience. This approach focuses on the operations of law and its effects upon ongoing human activities, and it evaluates legal principles by applying the experimental method to the social consequences they produce. Because legal history provides a long record of past experimentation with legal principles, legal history is an essential feature of this method. This new validity standard contains three principles. The principle of reason requires legal systems to respect every subject as a rational creature with a free will. The principle of reason also requires procedural due process to protect against the punishment of the innocent and the tyranny of the majority. Legal systems that respect their subjects' status as rational creatures with free wills permit their subjects to orient their own behavior. The principle of reason therefore requires substantive due process to ensure that laws provide dependable guideposts to individuals in orienting their behavior. The principle of consent recognizes that the legitimacy of law derives from the consent of those subject to its power. Common law custom, the doctrine of stare decisis, and legislation sanctioned by the subjects' legitimate representatives all evidence consent. The principle of autonomy establishes the authority of law. Laws must wield supremacy over political rulers, and political rulers must be subject to the same laws as other citizens. Political rulers may not arbitrarily alter the law to accord to their will. Legal history demonstrates that, in the absence of a validity standard based on these principles, legal systems will not treat their subjects as ends in themselves. They will inevitably treat their subjects as mere means to other ends. Once laws do this, men have no rest from evil.

Abstract:
Last Acts: The Art of Dying on the Early Modern Stage argues that the Elizabethan and Jacobean theater offered playwrights, actors, and audiences important opportunities to practice arts of dying. Early modern plays also engage with devotional traditions that understand death less as an occasion for suffering or grieving than as an action to be performed, well or badly. Active deaths belie the narratives of helplessness and loss most often used to analyze representations of mortality and instead suggest ways that marginalized and constrained subjects might participate in the political, social, and economic management of life. Some of these strategies for dying resonate with ecclesiastical forms or with descriptions of biopolitics within the recent work of Giorgio Agamben and Roberto Esposito. Yet the art of dying is not solely a discipline imposed upon recalcitrant subjects. Since it offers suffering individuals a way to enact their deaths on their own terms, it discloses both political and dramatic action in their most minimal manifestations. Rather than mournfully marking what we cannot recover, the practice of dying reveals what we can do, even in death. By analyzing representations of dying in plays by writers including Christopher Marlowe, William Shakespeare, and Ben Jonson alongside both devotional texts and contemporary biopolitical theory, Last Acts shows how theater reflects, enables, and contests the politicization of life and death.

Abstract:
Most readers of Christopher Marlowe’s Edward II locate the play’s radicalism in the sexualized challenge that Edward’s homoerotic relations with Gaveston and the Spensers pose to dynastic monarchy and aristocratic governance. This chapter replaces erotics with necrotics to argue that royal sodomy and homoerotic friendship can be accommodated by the play’s political order with relative ease; royal death, by contrast, exposes fundamental weaknesses within dominant conceptions of sovereignty. While recent queer theory has aligned queerness with mortality, Edward II pointedly detaches sexuality from death, offering Edward political opportunities in dying that are unavailable through queer eroticism. In prison, Edward subsumes regimes of dynastic sovereignty within the biological existence of the body. Even once dead, Edward is not superseded because the theater suggests he may still be minimally present, in the slippage between bodies and in props, in the presence of an actor offstage, and in the violence carried out in his name. Rather than supporting a particular structure of power, Edward’s death indicates the range of political potentialities inherent in exposure to mortality, which might alternatively support republican, absolutist, bureaucratic, or tyrannical regimes.

This chapter traces how arts of dying migrate from devotional texts into homiletic dramas and finally to the commercial playhouse between 1570 and 1590, around the same time that anti-theatrical condemnations of the stage as inherently blasphemous come to cultural prominence. Theater constitutes an important site of religious instruction and theological investigation not despite, but rather because of, its blasphemous potential. William Wager’s Enough Is as Good as a Feast, Nathaniel Woodes’s The Conflict of Conscience, and Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus all employ parodies of ars moriendi ideas to represent evil action. Parody arts of dying help dramatize a predestinarian cosmos where distinctions between the elect and the reprobate are fundamental, yet invisible to humans. The bad deaths in these plays function like negative theologies, manifesting and explicating divine will through attempted departures from it. In Doctor Faustus, Marlowe brings the reprobate parodist into focus alongside the divine parodied and makes the magician’s vicious death a site for analyzing human agency. As practices of dying are inverted into theatrical arts of dying badly, Elizabethan dramatists discover occasions to explore the nature of action and the forms of agency available in situations of extreme constraint or privation.

Abstract:
This chapter talks about the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, based in Pelham, North Carolina that got into the Charlottesville act and applied for a permit to hold a rally in Charlottesville. It mentions the Loyal White Knights leaders Christopher Barker and his wife, Amanda Barker, who led the protest against Charlottesville's plan to remove the Robert E. Lee statue from Emancipation Park in order to stop cultural genocide. It also discusses Glendon Scott Crawford, a Ku Klux Klan member from Albany, New York, who claimed to have invented a radiation-spewing “death ray” gun that he planned to use to kill Muslims. The chapter highlights Jason Kessler's displeasure with Christopher Barker and the Pelham Ku Klux Klan's involvement in the Charlottesville arena. It also discloses Richard Spencer's disinterest and distanced himself from the Klan rally.

Abstract:
This chapter develops a justification for a nonproportional distribution of a group’s remedial liabilities for its wrongdoings. The justification is grounded in the group members’ participation in their group. Drawing on Christopher Kutz’s model of collective action, it suggests that people participate in a group act when they have a participatory intention in take part in the act. It then argues that when people intentionally participate in collective action, they incur the duty to accept a nonproportional share of the burdens that flow from that action, in circumstances where a proportional distribution is not feasible or is very costly. However, there are limits to this obligation: it arises only when the group members’ participatory intentions are genuine, and not forced on them against their will.

Abstract:
Abstract In 1586, Decrees for Orders in Printing changed the licensing of printed books, placing a church High Commission in charge, using clerical licensers. Why did this not expand to licensing plays for performance? Scandalous attacks on the church hierarchy by ‘Martin Marprelate’ involved the players, despite Tilney’s attempts to restrain them. His powers are still limited: a commission to regulate playing is suggested, involving both the City and the church, as well as Tilney, but nothing comes of it. The City tries to buy Tilney out, but fails. The chapter concludes with reflections on Christopher Marlowe: despite his notoriety there is no evidence that Tilney censored his plays. Only posthumously was Dr Faustus subject to Parliament’s 1606 Act of Abuses, forbidding blasphemous reference to God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit on stage.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the nature and extent of royal supremacy during the reign of Henry VIII. If Henry's supremacy was innate and divinely ordained, the question that arises is why it required an act of Parliament. The King's own view was that Parliament merely expressed the nation's assent, but Thomas Cromwell may have thought differently. The legal theorist Christopher St German, an inspiration for the parliamentary assault against the clergy in 1531–1532, certainly believed that royal supremacy rested in the King in Parliament. The chapter considers the rise of a new religious phenomenon — dissident, oppositional Roman Catholicism — and issues regarding the King's divorce and supremacy before discussing visitation, which was intended for both symbolic performance and practical enforcement of the royal supremacy. It also looks at the death of Catherine of Aragon and the first formal statement of doctrine for the independent Church of England, known as Ten Articles.

Abstract:
Introduction : Actuellement 208 millions de personnes consomment du tabac en Europe dont 12 millions en France. 650 000 décès sont attribuables au tabac en Europe et environ 60 000 décès par an sont imputables à cette consommation en France, ce qui en fait la première cause de décès évitable. Tous les acteurs de santé devraient être mobilisés pour lutter contre ce fléau. Le chirurgien dentiste doit se sentir concerné car il s’agit d’un enjeu général de santé publique mais aussi spécifique de santé bucco-dentaire. En effet le tabac est l’étiologie principale de certaines maladies graves de la muqueuse buccale : carcinomes épidermoïdes, leucoplasies, carcinome verruqueux (1). Le tabac est aussi un cofacteur favorisant les maladies parodontales (2). Enfin la consommation de tabac perturbe la cicatrisation après les actes de Chirurgie Orale et c’est une contre indication relative aux interventions chirurgie implantaire. Malgré ce constat, les chirurgiens dentistes restent peu impliqués dans l’accompagnement du sevrage tabagique (3). Les raisons sont probablement liées à un manque de formation et de connaissances qui limitent la mise en oeuvre du sevrage tabagique auprès de leurs patients. Pour pallier ce manque, un projet européen a été mis en place grâce à un financement du programme ERASMUS + (4). L’objectif de ce projet est de former les professionnels de santé européens au sevrage tabagique grâce à plusieurs outils. Matériels et Méthodes : Le principal outil de formation sera un site internet diffusé en langue Anglaise, Française, Italienne, Portugaise, et Espagnole. Ce site permettra de fournir un outil d’e-learning afin de promouvoir l’implication des professionnels de santé et notamment des chirurgiens dentistes dans le sevrage tabagique. Par ailleurs, un livre téléchargeable reprenant le contenu du site internet sera également diffusé. Enfin, plusieurs actions de diffusion de l’information seront menées tout au long du projet au travers de communications lors de congrès scientifiques et d’articles dans des revues professionnelles. Résultats : Le site et le livre électronique sont accessibles gratuitement à partir du lien : http://smokingcessationtraining.com/ en/home/ en langue anglaise. La version française sera publiée en ligne dans le premier semestre 2018. Le site a été réalisé sous la coordination de Rui Albuquerque (Birmingham Dental Hospital UK) avec la collaboration de Ross Keat (Birmingham Dental Hospital UK), Jean-Christophe Fricain et Sylvain Catros (Université de Bordeaux, France), Marcio Diniz Freitas (Universidade de Santiago de Compostela Espagne), Luis Monteiro (Universitaério de Ciências da Sauéde Portugal), Giovanni Lodi (Universita di Milano, Italy). Conclusions : Ce projet devrait permettre d’augmenter le niveau de compétence des utilisateurs et un certificat sera délivré à ceux qui complèteront l’évaluation en ligne. Ce projet devrait permettre d’avoir un impact éducatif en formant les chirurgiens dentistes, un impact sur la santé des patients et un impact économique en réduisant les couts sociétaux induits par le tabagisme.
