2	Real and imagined readers: censorship, publishing and reading under apartheid Matteau, Rachel 21 August 2012 (has links) Ph.D. University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Humanities, 2012 / This thesis studies the readership of literature that was banned under the various laws that comprised the censorship system, focusing on the apartheid period, from the 1950s until the early 1990s. It investigates the conditions under which banned and subversive literature existed in the underground network despite the ever-looming censorship apparatus. It is based on theories drawn from the history of the book, sociology of literature, South African literary histories, and on data from secondary and primary sources such as archival material and interviews with, and testimonies from, readers. This thesis focuses on the roles of readers in alternative circuits, by examining the modalities of sourcing, distributing, reading and sharing of imported and local banned publications. It seeks to demonstrate that readers did read banned books and books likely to be banned, showing creativity in the various strategies used to get these books into the country and to share them amongst the largest number of readers, using texts in various fashions, and actively participating to the South African literary industry and broader socio-political affairs.

3	Reading The Catcher in the Rye in the EFL classroom : A didactic perspective of the reasons and consequences for banning or censoring literature Gustavsson, Josefin January 2018 (has links) By discussing the ethical issues with banned and censored literature, students can learn how to approach a text written in different contexts. The essay brings to light the triggered instances, which lead to banning The Catcher in the Rye in American schools in the 1950s. Using a cultural studies approach allows an in-depth investigation of the patterns in the triggering instances and leads to findings of possible reasons for ban- and censorship. These instances, sums up to; unrealistic protagonist, vulgar language, blasphemy and a pessimistic and depressing point of view. To introduce these instances into a Swedish classroom can hopefully bring an insight into another historical time and another context, to better understand the Swedish context, e.g. democratic values as well as freedom of speech.

4	Making sense of lying to federal agents in the U.S.A : the Marion Jones narrative Aronstam, Maurice Albert 27 September 2010 (has links) This research project investigated how a professional athlete made sense of lying to federal investigators regarding her use of a prohibited substance. More specifically, it investigated how Marion Jones made sense of her experiences through the construction of identity(ies). The constructionism position of narrative was used to determine how Jones gave meaning to significant experiences and constructed a narrative, and how this narrative was constructive of her identity(ies). The three-dimensional space approach of narrative analysis was used as my methodological position. The analysis was done on an interview conducted by Oprah Winfrey on Marion Jones as part of a broadcast of The Oprah Winfrey Show. This was Jones’ first public appearance aftere her release from a six month prison sentence for lying to federal investigators. The analysis revealed the construction of three identities in her narrative. The athlete identity was constructed as one of the past, the felon identity as in the present, and the person identity is constructed as the identity that she will take into the future. Jones makes sense of lying to federal investigators as allowing these identities to develop and leave her with a positive future. This research project contributed to the field of sport psychology by investigating how a professional athlete made sense of her lying to federal investigators regarding her use of a prohibited substance and recommended that the construction of multiple dominant identities may allow for alternative options for professional athletes regarding their doping behaviour. / Dissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Psychology / unrestricted Doping Identity Identities Narrative analysis Three-dimensional space approach Professional athlete Sport psychology Marion jones Banned substances UCTD

8	The name Jehovah on trial in Russia : Is it an inappropriate and disqualifying addition made to the Bible, or has the Russian nation been deprived of the awareness of its origin? Magnusson, Sandra January 2022 (has links) Because of the recent ban on a Bible translation, in part because of the renderingof God’s name as Jehovah, this thesis analyses what can be learned on the topic of the attitude in Russia towards that name from a historic viewpoint. Early occurrences of the name within the Russian Orthodox Church, as well as examples of prominent authors’ usage of the name in the secular literary sphere, are being discussed. Particular interest is paid to the literature of the 19th century, in an attempt to determine what knowledge the authors had access to, as well as to establish how familiar this rendering of the name was to the society. The analysis continues with literary examples from the 20th century, searching for indications that could reveal the time and possible reason for the altered connotations to the name. My interest is the cultural and historical perspective on the awareness of the name, whether it was a natural part of the cultural and religious heritage or not. And if it was – when and why was the general public deprived of that heritage?I believe that this interdisciplinary approach can provide a valuable picture, impossible to gain if the discussion would have been solely about religiousminorities’ rights.

9	Límites constitucionales al contenido material de las leyes de presupuestos del Estado Toscano Ortega, Joan A. 24 January 2003 (has links) El trabajo está montado como un intencionado diálogo con los criterios esgrimidos por el Tribunal Constitucional sobre esta materia (desbordamiento material de las leyes de presupuestos) en su ya dilatada jurisprudencia. Su autor defiende una concepción amplia del ámbito material de las leyes de presupuestos. Según esta posición, este tipo de ley debe incluir la materia presupuestaria, pero, como ley que es, puede cobijar otras materias, salvo prohibición constitucional clara al respecto. Esta posición es superadora de la concepción de la ley de presupuestos como ley meramente formal, de suerte que la concibe como una ley plena, emanada de la potestad legislativa del Parlamento, con la fuerza propia de la ley, esto es, no vinculada a la legislación previa y capaz (aunque no siempre idónea, desde la perspectiva de la técnica legislativa) de emprender innovaciones legales.Desde esa postura "amplia" el autor formula propuesta de solución o de mejora frente al desbordamiento material de las leyes de presupuestos. Asimismo tras analizar su problemática específica, plantea posibles soluciones en relación a la práctica de las leyes de acompañamiento. / El treball està muntat com un intencionat diàleg amb els criteris esgrimits pel Tribunal Constitucional sobre aquesta matèria (desbordament material de les lleis de pressupostos) en la seva ja dilatada jurisprudència. El seu autor defensa una concepció àmplia de l'àmbit material de les lleis de pressupostos. Segons aquesta posició, aquest tipus de llei ha d'incloure la matèria pressupostària però, com a llei que és pot acolir altres matèries, excepte prohibició constitucional clara al respecte. Aquesta posició és superadora de la concepció de la llei de pressupostos com a llei merament formal, de manera que la concep com una llei plena, emanada de la potestat legislativa del Parlament, amb la força pròpia de la llei, és a dir, no vinculada a la legislació prèvia i capaç (encara que no sempre idònia, des de la perspectiva de la tècnica legislativa) d'emprendre innovacions legals.Des d'aquesta postura àmplia, l'autor formula proposta de solució o de millora davant del desbordament material de les lleis de pressupostos. Així mateix, després d'analitzar la seva problemàtica específica, planteja possibles solucions en realció a la pràctica de les lleis d'acompanyament. / The analysis is set out as an intentional dialogue with the criteria laid down by the Constitutional Court on this subject (material overflow of state budgets laws) in the course of its extended jurisprudence, In short, the work defends a broad concept of the material scpope of budget laws. laws of accompaniment budget encoding legislative technique legal certainty right to amend legislative procedure unit legislation constitutional role material overflow content necessary budgets law law lleis d'acompanyament pressupostàries codificació tècnica legislativa seguretat jurídica dret d'esmena procediment legislatiu unitat de legislació funció constitucional desbordament material contingut necessari llei de pressupostos llei leyes de acompañamiento presupuestarias codificación técnica legislativa seguridad jurídica derecho de enmienda procedimiento legislativo unidad de legislación función constitucional cavaliers budgétaires bepackungsverbot contenuto eventuale desbordamiento material contenido necesario ley ley de presupuestos 34
