No sustained examination and diagnosis of problems inherent to the relationship of Evangeli- calism with capitalism currently exists. Where assessments of the relationship have been un- dertaken, they are often built upon a lack of understanding of Evangelicalism, and an uncritical reliance both on Max Weber’s Protestant Work Ethic and on David Bebbington’s Quadrilateral of Evangelical priorities.

  • Slippery Slopes and Other Consequences
    Logic and Logical Philosophy Volume 27 (2018), 453–470 DOI: 10.12775/LLP.2017.028 Martin Hinton SLIPPERY SLOPES AND OTHER CONSEQUENCES “He that walks in slippery places is every moment liable to fall” ∗ Jonathan Edwards Abstract. The aim of this paper is to illustrate where previous attempts at the characterisation of Slippery Slope Arguments (SSAs) have gone wrong, and to provide an analysis which better captures their true nature. The first part describes Walton’s [10] arguments in support of his views on SSAs and also considers the characterisations put forward by other researchers. All of these are found wanting due to their failure to capture the essence of the slippery slope and their inability to distinguish SSAs from other consequen- tialist forms of argument. The second part puts forward a clearer analysis of what is special about SSAs and proposes an argumentation scheme which allows them to be easily distinguished from other arguments from conse- quences. Keywords: argument schemes; Douglas Walton; slippery slope arguments; arguments from consequences 1. Introduction Two things were said of the “Wise Woman” consulted by Lord Black- adder; first that she was a woman, and, as he correctly guessed, that she was wise1. And so it is with Slippery Slopes: they must be slopes and they must be slippery. A slope may lead up or down, but a slippery ∗ From Edwards’s famous sermon Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God (1741). 1 This encounter takes place in episode 1, series 2, of the popular BBC comedy “Blackadder” written by Richard Curtis and Ben Elton [2].

  • Disabling Comedy: “Only When We Laugh!”
    Disabling Comedy: “Only When We Laugh!” Dr. Laurence Clark, North West Disability Arts Forum (Paper presented at the ‘Finding the Spotlight’ Conference, Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts, 30th May 2003) Abstract Traditionally comedy involving disabled people has extracted humour from people’s impairments – i.e. a “functional limitation”. Examples range from Shakespeare’s ‘fool’ character and Elizabethan joke books to characters in modern TV sitcoms. Common arguments for the use of such disempowering portrayals are that “nothing is meant by them” and that “people should be able to laugh at themselves”. This paper looks at the effects of such ‘disabling comedy’. These include the damage done to the general public’s perceptions of disabled people, the contribution to the erosion of a disabled people’s ‘identity’ and how accepting disablist comedy as the ‘norm’ has served to exclude disabled writers / comedians / performers from the profession. 1. Introduction Society has been deriving humour from disabled people for centuries. Elizabethan joke books were full of jokes about disabled people with a variety of impairments. During the 17th and 18th centuries, keeping 'idiots' as objects of humour was common among those who had the money to do so, and visits to Bedlam and other 'mental' institutions were a typical form of entertainment (Barnes, 1992, page 14). Bilken and Bogdana (1977) identified “the disabled person as an object of ridicule” as one of the ten media stereotypes of disabled people. Apart from ridicule, disabled people have been largely excluded from the world of comedy in the past. For example, in the eighties American stand-up comedian George Carlin was arrested whilst doing his act for swearing in front of young disabled people.

  • Blackadder Goes Forth the Final Push
    CARDIFF OPEN AIR THEATRE FESTIVAL: EVERYMAN 20 Sophia Gardens Cathedral Road Cardiff CF11 9SQ AUDITION NOTICE “... if nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.” General A.C.H. Melchett, VC KCB DSO (May 1917) BLACKADDER GOES FORTH THE FINAL PUSH from the BBC TV Series by Richard Curtis & Ben Elton It's 1917 and Edmund Blackadder is now a captain in the British Army at the Western Front, commanding gallant-but-dumb Lieutenant George St. Barleigh and the even dumber Private S. Baldrick. Waiting in fear of the dreaded order to go 'over the top' from the patently insane General Melchett and his twitchy staff officer, Captain Darling, Blackadder devises serial attempts to escape the trenches always with the offer of one of Baldrick's cunning plans. First broadcast on the BBC in 1989, Blackadder Goes Forth is one of the most intelligent as well as among the funniest of British sitcoms. Adapted & Directed by SIMON H WEST Performance Dates: Thursday 18th June to Saturday 27th June 2020 Festival Theatre, Sophia Gardens, Cardiff No performances on Sunday 19th June Technical & Dress Rehearsals: Sunday 14th June to Wednesday 17th June Rehearsal period will be short and intensive, taking place over just one month beginning around May 14th.

  • Y11 Into 12 Summer History Work
    Y11 into 12 Summer History work In A Level History you will study three different time periods listed below. We want to prepare you for your 3 new topics by giving you a flavour of the periods and countries. It is essential at A Level that you read around the subject- all the most successful students of history do this. We are providing you with a summer reading and viewing list. We don’t need you to do everything on this list, although the more you do the better your understanding will be. The minimum requirement is to read one of the books OR watch one series/film for EACH topic (Germany, Russia and Tudor England). These can be from the choices below or you could find your own if you prefer. You need to fill in the summary sheet for these (these are at the end of the document). We love many of these books and series and some have had a great impact on us as teachers and people. You have reached the end of your schooling where we will tell you everything. Now is the time for you to explore areas that you find interesting. If there is a book or series that sparks your interest feel free to find more books by that author or films on the same lines. We will be thrilled to discuss any new material you find with you. If this challenge does not excite you, you are probably not going to enjoy the course! We don’t expect you to buy these, although you can it you want! We have copies of some in the department, others are in the school library or you can get them from the local library.
