Specifically, this research had as it´s objective to unroll that the novels Dracula (1897), by Bram Stoker, and The War of the Worlds (1898), by Herbert George Wells, reflects the fear of English elite in relation to the masses, as such, they are seen as an unwanted side of the British Empire, in the same way that the native populations from the colonies under British control. So, both novels may be read as a variation of the perspective of Colonial Gothic. In order to do so, this study will use the theoretical works by, among other ones, Fred Botting (1996), Roberto de Sousa Causo (2003), H. L. Malchow (1996), Alison Milbank (1998), Mary Ellen Snodgrass (2005), Alexandra Warwick (1998), Adam Roberts (2006), Kelly Hurley (2002), Patricia Kerslake (2007). Initially, we present the historical contextualization of Victorian age when it comes to the role of the masses in society. In the sequence, we analyze how gothic literature and science fiction approach social debates in end of the century English Literature. Finally, in the main chapter, we demonstrate that, beyond being works that criticize English imperialist ideology, Bram Stoker and H. G. Wells’ works present a subtext based on scientific discourse of eugenic thought and criminal Anthropology, in which, the masses are equated to the populations of English colonies and, as such, considered an obstacle to the full development of the country and a threat to Victorian England status quo. / Este trabalho dialoga com a linha de pesquisa “Literatura, Memória e Identidade” no intuito de apresentar um estudo que mostra a Literatura como meio de marginalização cultural e social a serviço de alguns setores da sociedade inglesa em fins do século dezenove. Especificamente, a pesquisa teve como objetivo demostrar que os romances Drácula (1897), de Bram Stoker, e A Guerra dos mundos (1898), de Herbert George Wells, refletem o medo da elite inglesa em relação às massas, sendo estas enxergadas como um lado indesejado do Império Britânico, da mesma forma que as populações nativas das colônias sob o controle da Inglaterra. Assim, ambos os romances podem ser lidos dentro de uma variação da perspectiva do Gótico Colonial. Para tal proposta, este estudo fez uso dos trabalhos teóricos de, dentre outros, Fred Botting (1996), Roberto de Sousa Causo (2003), H. L. Malchow (1996), Alison Milbank (1998), Mary Ellen Snodgrass (2005), Alexandra Warwick (1998), Adam Roberts (2006), Kelly Hurley (2002), Patricia Kerslake (2007). Inicialmente, apresentamos a contextualização histórica da época vitoriana no que se refere ao papel do povo na sociedade. Na sequência, analisamos como a literatura gótica e a ficção científica abordaram a questão social da literatura inglesa de fim de século. Finalmente, no capítulo principal, demonstramos que, além de serem obras que criticam a ideologia imperialista inglesa, os romances de Bram Stoker e H. G. Wells também apresentam um subtexto pautado pelo discurso científico do pensamento eugênico e da Antropologia criminal, no qual as massas também são equiparadas às populações das colônias inglesas e, como tais, consideradas um obstáculo ao pleno desenvolvimento do país e uma ameaça ao status quo da Inglaterra vitoriana.

A substantial number of employees in South Africa may soon be out of work as the result of their HIV-positive status. The dismissal of an infected employee may be motivated by the fact that he is considered to be incompetent or incapable of doing the work for which he was employed. Customers and fellow employees may refuse to deal with an infected employee, with the result that the employee is dismissed for economic reasons. The nature of the undertaking's activities may be such that the presence of an infected employee constitutes a health risk. For the purposes of carrying out his duty to create and maintain safe working conditions, the employer dismisses the employee. The employer may even force the infected employee to resign. Measures should be taken to improve the situation of infected employees. They include educating employers and employees about the transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus. / Mercentile Law / LL. M.
