  • Twentieth-Century Canadian Law, Psychiatry, and Social Activism in Relation to Pedophiles and Child Sex Offenders
    Twentieth-Century Canadian Law, Psychiatry, and Social Activism in Relation to Pedophiles and Child Sex Offenders By Justin F. Smith Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the MA degree in History University of Ottawa © Justin F. Smith, Ottawa, Canada, 2017 ABSTRACT Twentieth-Century Canadian Law, Psychiatry, and Social Activism in Relation to Pedophiles and Child Sex Offenders Justin Smith Supervisor: University of Ottawa Heather Murray The contemporary conflation of pedophiles and child sex offenders is a prevalent aspect of reporting in news and social media, as well as in government- sponsored efforts to prevent child sexual victimization. Throughout twentieth century Canada, however, legal experts, psychologists and psychiatrists, and social activists were recognizing the harmfulness of grouping individuals who may have a propensity to commit crime with those who have committed the most heinous of criminal acts. As early as 1938, Canadian legal experts suggested that criminal insanity was a myth, advocating for a divergence between legal punishment and psychiatric healthcare, but after World War 2 had enacted serious efforts targeting criminal sexual psychopathy. Successive Royal Commissions investigating sexual victimization and child abuse revealed that Canadian courts, jails, prisons, and remand services were unable to solely deal with the realities of child sexual victimization. Psychologists and psychiatrists of the American Psychological Association increasingly researched sex and sexuality, classifying pedophilia as a paraphilia using child sexual victimization as a diagnostic indicator and criterion. Gay liberation activists discussed inequalities posed between hetero- and homosexual ages of consent and, more rarely, thought about the total abolition of age of consent.

    A Map of Toronto’s Cultural Facilities A Cultural Facilities Analysis 03.01.10 Prepared for: Rita Davies Managing Director of Culture Division of Economic Development, Culture and Tourism Prepared by: ERA Architects Inc. Urban Intelligence Inc. Cuesta Systems Inc. Executive Summary In 1998, seven municipalities, each with its own distinct cultural history and infrastructure, came together to form the new City of Toronto. The process of taking stock of the new city’s cultural facilities was noted as a priority soon after amalgamation and entrusted to the newly formed Culture Division. City Council on January 27, 2000, adopted the recommendations of the Policy and Finance Committee whereby the Commissioner of Economic Development, Culture and Tourism was requested to proceed with a Cultural Facilities Masterplan including needs assessment and business cases for new arts facilities, including the Oakwood - Vaughan Arts Centre, in future years. This report: > considers the City of Toronto’s role in supporting cultural facilities > documents all existing cultural facilities > provides an approach for assessing Toronto’s cultural health. Support for Toronto’s Cultural Facilities Through the Culture Division, the City of Toronto provides both direct and indirect support to cultural activities. Direct support consists of : > grants to individual artists and arts organizations > ongoing operating and capital support for City-owned and operated facilities. Indirect support consists of: > property tax exemptions > below-market rents on City-owned facilities > deployment of Section 37 development agreements. A Cultural Facilities Inventory A Cultural Facility Analysis presents and interprets data about Toronto’s cultural facilities that was collected by means of a GIS (Global Information System) database.

  • Brigitte Bailer-Galanda “Revisionism”1 in Germany and Austria: the Evolution of a Doctrine
    www.doew.at Brigitte Bailer-Galanda “Revisionism”1 in Germany and Austria: The Evolution of a Doctrine Published in: Hermann Kurthen/Rainer Erb/Werner Bergmann (ed.), Anti-Sem- itism and Xenophobia in Germany after Unification, New York–Oxford 1997 Development of “revisionism” since 1945 Most people understand so called „revisionism“ as just another word for the movement of holocaust denial (Benz 1994; Lipstadt 1993; Shapiro 1990). Therefore it was suggested lately to use the word „negationism“ instead. How- ever in the author‘s point of view „revisionism“ covers some more topics than just the denying of the National Socialist mass murders. Especially in Germany and Austria there are some more points of National Socialist politics some people have tried to minimize or apologize since 1945, e. g. the responsibility for World War II, the attack on the Soviet Union in 1941 (quite a modern topic), (the discussion) about the number of the victims of the holocaust a. s. o.. In the seventies the late historian Martin Broszat already called that movement „run- ning amok against reality“ (Broszat 1976). These pseudo-historical writers, many of them just right wing extremist publishers or people who quite rapidly turned to right wing extremists, really try to prove that history has not taken place, just as if they were able to make events undone by denying them. A conception of “negationism” (Auerbach 1993a; Fromm and Kernbach 1994, p. 9; Landesamt für Verfassungsschutz 1994) or “holocaust denial” (Lipstadt 1993, p. 20) would neglect the additional components of “revision- ism”, which are logically connected with the denying of the holocaust, this being the extreme variant.

Drobnicki This bibliography is a supplement to three earlier ones published in the March 1994, Decem- ber 1996, and September 1998 issues of the Bulletin of Bibliography. During the intervening time. Holocaust revisionism has continued to be discussed both in the scholarly literature and in the mainstream press, especially owing to the libel lawsuit filed by David Irving against Deb- orah Lipstadt and Penguin Books. The Holocaust deniers, who prefer to call themselves “revi- sionists” in an attempt to gain scholarly legitimacy, have refused to go away and remain as vocal as ever— Bradley R. Smith has continued to send revisionist advertisements to college newspapers (including free issues of his new publication. The Revisionist), generating public- ity for his cause. Holocaust-denial, which will be used interchangeably with Holocaust revisionism in this bib- liography, is a body of literature that seeks to “prove” that the Jewish Holocaust did not hap- pen. Although individual revisionists may have different motives and beliefs, they all share at least one point: that there was no systematic attempt by Nazi Germany to exterminate Euro- pean Jewry.

  • University of Guelph Mclaughlin Library Annual Report 2014
    LEARNING LEARNING COMMONS COMMONS ACADEMIC ACADEMIC momentum TOWN SQUARE TOWN SQUARE McLaughlin Library Annual Report 2013/2014 A RCHIVES A RCHIVES A Message from the Chief Librarian and Chief Information Officer 2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the University of Guelph, a milestone for which the University is appropriately proud. Anniversaries provide us with the opportunity to look back as well as ahead. The University’s history, while grounded in tradition, has become distinguished by innovative research and integrated learning. Today’s University of Guelph has a distinctive educational philosophy that is both learner-centered and research intensive and emphasizes a collaborative approach to learning. The McLaughlin Library has been immersed in collaborations that both foster and advance the institution’s commitment to changing lives, improving life. Momentum is forward-focused. Early in this my third year at the University, there is a clear sense of momentum in many of the library’s areas of activity. Momentum seemed a fitting metaphor for this second edition of the McLaughlin Library Annual Report that reflects on a year of new directions and anticipated growth. The initial phase of several ambitious projects were completed this past year including the launch of a new user-focused library website, the completion and publication of an expansive and consultative Library Master Space Plan and early involvement in and development of a researcher-focused data management strategy for the campus. The Library Master Space Plan has inspired us while at the same time provided practical and aesthetic guidance for planning enhancements and renovations. The fall term will see the realization of both with the opening of a new Starbucks Café just inside the library’s entrance.

    LAST FOLIO YURI DOJC L A S T F O L I O Y U R I D O J C 1 Die fotografi sche Reise Last Folio von Yuri Dojc ist nach vielen Stationen in der Welt an der Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien angekommen. Die nunmehrige Station ist die Aula der Akademie mit den 1880 von Anselm Feuerbach gestalteten Deckenbildern des Titanensturzes, ein Ort der geradezu prädestiniert für diese Reise ist. Die Reise hat Yuri Dojc, der in Kanada lebt, in die Slowakei geführt, dort wo er aufgewachsen ist, dort wo er seine Schulzeit verbracht hat, dort wohin er 1968 nach einem Studienaufenthalt in London nicht mehr zurückkehrte. Er kam zurück, um in Bardejow, im Osten der Slowakei, nahe der polnischen Grenze dort in einer Synagoge, in einer verlassenen Schule, shul zu fotografi eren, zu dokumentieren, zu berühren. Dort in Bardejow, wo vor dem Holocaust mehrere tausende Juden und Jüdinnen lebten, wo es ein jüdischen Viertel mit einer Synagoge aus dem 18. Jahrhundert gibt, dort wo Juden und Jüdinnen lebten, dort wo es ein rituelles Badehaus, mikveh, gab, dort wo es koschere Schlachter gab, dort wo es einen jüdischen Friedhof gibt, dort wo am 12. Mai 1942 die Juden und Jüdinnen von den Nationalsozialisten zusammengetrieben wurden, dort wo 3.700 Juden und Jüdinnen in Viehwaggons gedrängt wurden, dort wo sie in die Ghettos und Konzentrationslagern gebracht wurden und die meisten von ihnen ermordet wurden, dort wo sie alles liegen und stehen lassen mussten, dort wo sie die Schule, shul, verlassen mussten, dort wo ihre Bücher in den 2000er Jahren zerfallen, verstaubt, achtlos auf die Böden geworfen zu fi nden sind, dort wo die Bücher auf ihre Leser vergebens warten.

Wide Sargasso Sea (1966) , by Jean Rhys Discussion Leader: Ellen Getreu Jean Rhys’s reputation was made upon the publication of this passionate and heartbreaking novel, in which she brings into the light one of fiction’s most mysterious characters: the madwoman in the attic from Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. Set in the Caribbean, its heroine is Antoinette Cosway, a sensual and protected young woman who is sold into marriage to the prideful Rochester. (W.W.
