We analyze the claims which arouse as a reaction against the polemical Report of the Wolfenden Committee on Homosexual Offences and Prostitution from 1957. This report addresses the decriminalization of male homosexual conduct and prostitution based on the argument that there should be a field of private morality and immorality which did not belong to the legal scope. First, we analyze the works by Hart which deal with the relationship between law and morals. Then, we investigate the Harm Principle or Principle of Civil Liberties, supported by John Stuart Mill in his work On Liberty , and which served as a support for the conclusions of the Report. Finally, we analyze the claims made by Hart on behalf of a mitigated form of Mill‟s Principle, as well as the impact of these claims among theorists such as Patrick Devlin, Peter Cane and Neil Mac Cormick. / O presente trabalho tem por objetivo investigar a relação entre legalidade e moralidade na concepção do teórico do Direito Herbert L. A. Hart. Analisamos os argumentos que surgiram como reação ao polêmico Relatório do Comitê Departamental de Crimes Homossexuais e Prostituição, de 1957. Esse relatório versa sobre a descriminalização de condutas homossexuais masculinas e da prostituição, apoiando-se no argumento de que haveria um campo de moralidade e imoralidade privadas que não pertenceria à seara legal. Inicialmente, analisamos as obras de Hart que tratam da relação entre Direito e Moral. Depois, investigamos o Princípio do Dano, ou Princípio da Liberdade Civil, defendido por John Stuart Mill na obra On Liberty, e que serviu de suporte argumentativo para as conclusões do Relatório. Finalmente, analisamos os argumentos lançados por Hart em defesa de uma forma mitigada do Princípio de Mill, bem como a repercussão desses argumentos entre teóricos como Patrick Devlin, Peter Cane e Neil Mac Cormick.

4	Stranger in the Room: Illuminating Female Identity Through Irish Drama Johnson, Amy R. 23 May 2007 (has links) Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This thesis centers on a country that has produced some of the greatest and most important English language dramas of the past two centuries. Within this cultural context, this thesis is also about a feminine revival in Irish theatre and how this can be a powerful tool to incite change. Early in history, Irish writers, and specifically dramatists, recreated a type of theatre that captured the true essence of what it meant to be Irish by representing their struggles, frustrations and humor. The Irish talent for storytelling connects back to its Gaelic roots and has remained a constant in the life of a culture that has passed down this art form for centuries. The focus of this thesis is to examine three contemporary Irish plays by prominent playwrights who came to the world of theatre from very different backgrounds. Each play is written by a different hand, yet all share a vital common denominator: the interaction of female character groups – groups that are central to the action of each play. What incited my interest in these three plays – Brian Friel’s Dancing at Lughnasa, Anne Devlin’s Ourselves Alone and Marina Carr’s The Mai – was the playwright’s ability to expose what had been silenced in Irish history for so long. Each female character portrays one important aspect of Irish womanhood that has been tragically understated in the nation’s literature since the death of John Millington Synge: woman’s struggle between what she wants to be and who she is expected to be. These three plays will be scrutinized in terms of three elements of social control contributing to woman’s struggle in Irish society: myth, church and patriarchal tradition.

5	On rights a defense and analysis of rights through natural law Lopez, Ramon E. 01 May 2011 (has links) One of the central questions in political theory deals with the nature of rights. What sorts of rights do people possess? How are these rights justified? How ought these rights be reflected and related when seen in political, economic, and social institutions? Following the publication of John Rawls' A Theory of Justice (1971) and Robert Nozick's Anarchy, State, and Utopia (1974), rights have once again returned to dominate much of contemporary political theory. However, natural law, which was the historical basis of the early Enlightenment theories of rights, is no longer the primary system appealed to when discussing rights. In fact, classical natural law has been all but discarded in most of political theory today. There has also been renewed debate over the nature of public neutrality, and what the relationship ought to be between the public and private sphere. The mainstream view of how our liberties relate to our rights, as well as what kinds of rights we have over our private affairs, has come under fire from a newly emerging political philosophy known as communitarianism. This thesis will present a robust theory of rights that provides a new understanding of the relationship between positive and negative rights through a defense of classical natural law as an ethical foundation for political theory. It will side with the communitarian critics of public neutrality, and offer a practical method of determining when the state is justified in limiting private liberties due to public interest.

6	The attraction of sloppy nonsense: resolving cognitive estrangement in Stargate through the technologising of mythology Whitelaw, Sandra January 2007 (has links) The thesis consists of the novel, Stargate Atlantis: Exogenesis (Whitelaw and Christensen, 2006a) and an accompanying exegesis. The novel is a stand-alone tie-in novel based on the television series Stargate Atlantis (Wright and Glassner), a spin-off series of Stargate SG-1 (Wright and Cooper) derived from the movie Stargate (Devlin and Emmerich, 1994). Set towards the end of the second season, Stargate Atlantis: Exogenesis begins with the discovery of life pods containing the original builders of Atlantis, the Ancients. The mind of one of these Ancients, Ea, escapes the pod and possesses Dr. Carson Beckett. After learning what has transpired in the 10,000 years since her confinement, the traumatised Ea releases an exogenesis machine to destroy Atlantis. Ea dies, leaving Beckett with sufficient of her memories to reveal that a second machine, on the planet Polrusso, could counter the effects of the first device. When the Atlantis team travel to Polrusso, what they discover has staggering implications not only for the future of Atlantis but for all life in the Pegasus Galaxy. The exegesis argues that both science and science fiction narrate the dissolution of ontological structures, resulting in cognitive estrangement. Fallacy writers engage in the same process and use the same themes and tools as science fiction writers to resolve cognitive estrangement: they technologise mythology. Consequently, the distinction between fact and fiction, history and myth, is blurred. The exegesis discusses cognitive estrangement, mythology, the process of technologising mythology and its function as a novum that facilitates the resolution of cognitive estrangement in both fallacy and science fiction narratives. These concepts are then considered in three Stargate tie-in novels, with particular reference to the creative work, Stargate Atlantis: Exogenesis. technologising mythology cognitive estrangement verisimilitude fallacy ontology Stargate SG-1 Stargate Atlantis media tie-ins media novels mythology science fiction television SF genre television alien gods extraterrestrial gods cults familiarisation defamiliarisation refamiliarisation Lovecraft Velikovsky Hubbard von Daniken Sitchin Campbell Devlin Emmerich
