In a turn of poetic justice, she is sentenced to die in a gladiatorial spectacle, a quintessentially Roman punishment and entertainment. Jerusalem, in contrast, appears as a restored, urban Eden whose reward is to become the wife of the Lamb (Christ, resurrected and glorified). This imagery reflects not only theological ideas and literary traditions, but also social realities on which the text reflects. Patriarchal norms of gender and sexuality, evolving ideals of marriage, systems of slavery, and the connections between them are fundamental to this vision. Understanding them is crucial for the interpretation of Revelation. The text’s interweaving of these ideas and images generates a conclusion in which weddings, marriage, and freedom (all of which are simultaneously real phenomena and metaphors for true worship) triumph in an appropriately violent denouement over prostitution, adultery, and slave trading (also metaphors for idolatry). Cautious use of comparative evidence for slavery illuminates the connections between these phenomena and suggests new directions for future research. 4 RÉSUMÉ L’Apocalypse de St-Jean se conclut en comparant les figures de «Babylone» (Rome) et la «nouvelle Jérusalem» (les disciples du Christ). Il dépeint «Babylone» comme un prostituée et marchande d’esclaves riche, violente, et idolâtre et aussi comme quelqu’une qui a persécuté les fidèles. Dans une tournure de la justice poétique, elle est condamnée à mourir pour ses crimes dans le «spectacle» ou «jeux» de gladiateurs, une punition et divertissement typiquement romain. Mais la «Jérusalem» apparaît comme un nouveau Eden urbaine. Sa récompense est de devenir la femme de «l’Agneau» (Jesus Christ, ressuscité et glorifié). Cette image ne reflète pas seulement des idées théologiques et les traditions littéraires, mais aussi des réalités sociales sur lesquelles le texte reflète. Normes patriarcales du genre et de la sexualité, l’évolution des idéaux du mariage, et les systèmes d’esclavage sont essentiels à cette vision. L’imbrication du texte de ces idées et images génère une conclusion dans laquelle les mariages % et le mariage en général % et la liberté (qui sont tous simultanément des phénomènes réels et des métaphores pour la devotion authentique) triomphe approprié violentment sur la prostitution, l’adultère et l’esclavage (également des métaphores de l'idolâtrie). L’utilisation d’études compartives de l’esclavage éclaire les liens entre ces phénomènes et suggère des nouvelles possibilités pour la recherche. 5 Acknowledgements $This dissertation would not have been possible without the help and generosity of many people. Thanks are due to all the teachers who have guided me along the way, but especially to Fabian Udoh of the University of Notre Dame, who pushed, prodded, and challenged me as I thought through issues of slavery in the book of Revelation. I am afraid that I have not done full credit to his instruction, but those sections of the dissertation would have been much weaker without his help. I also owe debts of gratitude to a number of colleagues and friends in the Faculty of Religious Studies at McGill. Drew Billings provided feedback at every stage of the process, from initial thinking through to final editing. He also suggested the title before the project even reached the proposal stage. Meredith Warren, Shayna Sheinfeld, and Stéphanie Machabée all offered me their insight as I worked through issues of ritual and representation. Andrew Kenoti Lairenge and Cory Labrecque alerted me to a range of considerations that have strengthened my analysis and that otherwise never would have occurred to me. Jeff Keiser and Sean and Annie Ross were far more patient than I had any right to expect as they helped me navigate considerations of method. $A team of librarians were equally patient as they helped me track down even the most recalcitrant citations and inter-library loans. Alan Youster at the Birks Reading Room deserves special commendation. Also at Birks, Francesca Maniaci has been a rock through everything and may in fact be responsible for keeping the entire university running. Peggy Roger, Debbie McSorley, Sami Khan, and Shelly-Anne Soares have provided more logistical support and general encouragement than I had any right to expect. Luvana Di Francesco continually amazes every one of us. 6 $My parents, Paul and Megs Rosenberg, have provided emotional, intellectual, and material support at every stage of my education. I could have accomplished nothing without their generosity and encouragement. Dad has been, as always, an excellent proofreader, and Mom has spurred me through any number of doubts. My sister, Nell, has been a source of strength and a voice of sanity throughout this process. Additional thanks for emotional sustenance go to Victoria Creel, Wu Nawen, Afra Tucker, Geoff Duerden, Abi Cromanty, Julian Menezes, Anika Haque, Emily Bamforth, Ian and Julia Pattenden, Erle Holgersen, Beth Reed, and Julie Zhang. $Thanks go above all else to my advisor, Ellen Bradshaw Aitken, who died two months before this project was completed. If I have produced anything that would have made her proud, it will be the least of what she has missed. 7 ABBREVIATIONS A & Ph Clas.$$$$Aris & Phillips Classical Texts ABR!! $$$Australian Biblical Review ABRL$$$$$Anchor Bible Reference Library ACCS$$$$$Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture ACT$$$$$Ancient Christian Texts Afr St Rev!!!!African Studies Review AJS Rev!! ! ! !

  • Overthrowing Vengeance: the Role of Visual Elements in V for Vendetta
    Overthrowing Vengeance: The Role of Visual Elements in V for Vendetta Pedro Moreira University of Porto, Portugal Citation: Pedro Moreira, ”Overthrowing Vengeance: The Role of Visual Elements in V for Vendetta ”, Spaces of Utopia: An Electronic Journal , nr. 4, Spring 2007, pp. 106-112 <http://ler.letras.up.pt > ISSN 1646-4729. Introduction The emergence of the critical dystopia genre in the 1980s allowed for the appearance of a body of literature capable of both informing and prompting readers to action. The open-endness of these works, coupled with the sense of critique, becomes a key element in performing a catalyst function and maintaining hope within the text. V for Vendetta , by Alan Moore, with illustrations by David Lloyd, first published in serial form between 1982 and 1988 and, later, in 1990, as a graphic novel is one of such works. Appearing during the political climate of Margaret Thatcher’s conservative government, it became a cult classic amongst graphic novels readers and collectors. A film adaptation was released in 2006, from a screenplay by the Wachowski brothers, to different reactions from the graphic novel’s creators; Moore withdrew his support and denied any involvement in the adaptation while David Lloyd publicly confessed his admiration for the movie. I first became interested in the series due to its gritty realism, and the enigmatic, cultured figure of the protagonist. In fact, V for Vendetta ’s universe is quite distant from the comic book genre, which is dominated by God-like figures such as Superman or Spiderman. Also, the sheer scope of reference in the work, ranging from Blake and Shakespeare to the Rolling Stones and The Velvet Underground, added to my interest, making it the subject of this paper.

  • On Hybrid Creativity
    arts Article On Hybrid Creativity Andy Lomas ID Department of Computing, Goldsmiths College, University of London, London SE14 6NW, UK; [email protected] Received: 2 May 2018; Accepted: 5 July 2018; Published: 9 July 2018 Abstract: This article reviews the development of the author’s computational art practice, where the computer is used both as a device that provides the medium for generation of art (‘computer as art’) as well as acting actively as an assistant in the process of creating art (‘computer as artist’s assistant’), helping explore the space of possibilities afforded by generative systems. Drawing analogies with Kasparov’s Advanced Chess and the deliberate development of unstable aircraft using fly-by-wire technology, the article argues for a collaborative relationship with the computer that can free the artist to more fearlessly engage with the challenges of working with emergent systems that exhibit complex unpredictable behavior. The article also describes ‘Species Explorer’, the system the author has created in response to these challenges to assist exploration of the possibilities afforded by parametrically driven generative systems. This system provides a framework to allow the user to use a number of different techniques to explore new parameter combinations, including genetic algorithms, and machine learning methods. As the system learns the artist’s preferences the relationship with the computer can be considered to change from one of assistance to collaboration. Keywords: art; computer; evolutionary design; machine learning; computationally assisted design 1. Introduction How are we to work creatively with generative systems that computationally create results? In particular, how should we work with systems deliberately designed to encourage emergence: complex systems where results are intrinsically difficult to predict? There is a strong analogy with plant breeding, where we are working with a medium that is naturally rich.

  • Psychogeography in Alan Moore's from Hell
    English History as Jack the Ripper Tells It: Psychogeography in Alan Moore’s From Hell Ann Tso (McMaster University, Canada) The Literary London Journal, Volume 15 Number 1 (Spring 2018) Abstract: Psychogeography is a visionary, speculative way of knowing. From Hell (2006), I argue, is a work of psychogeography, whereby Alan Moore re-imagines Jack the Ripper in tandem with nineteenth-century London. Moore here portrays the Ripper as a psychogeographer who thinks and speaks in a mystical fashion: as psychogeographer, Gull the Ripper envisions a divine and as such sacrosanct Englishness, but Moore, assuming the Ripper’s perspective, parodies and so subverts it. In the Ripper’s voice, Moore emphasises that psychogeography is personal rather than universal; Moore needs only to foreground the Ripper’s idiosyncrasies as an individual to disassemble the Grand Narrative of English heritage. Keywords: Alan Moore, From Hell, Jack the Ripper, Psychogeography, Englishness and Heritage ‘Hyper-visual’, ‘hyper-descriptive’—‘graphic’, in a word, the graphic novel is a medium to overwhelm the senses (see Di Liddo 2009: 17). Alan Moore’s From Hell confounds our sense of time, even, in that it conjures up a nineteenth-century London that has the cultural ambience of the eighteenth century. The author in question is wont to include ‘visual quotations’ (Di Liddo 2009: 450) of eighteenth- century cultural artifacts such as William Hogarth’s The Reward of Cruelty (see From Hell, Chapter Nine). His anti-hero, Jack the Ripper, is also one to flaunt his erudition in matters of the long eighteenth century, from its literati—William Blake, Alexander Pope, and Daniel Defoe—to its architectural ideal, which the works of Nicholas Hawksmoor supposedly exemplify.
