ABSTRACT Olsen, Diane, M.A., March 1986 Anthropology Infanticide in Human Groups (86 pp.) Director: Chariine G. Smith The focus of this paper is to discern whether cross-cultural data better support the notion that infanticide, direct and indirect (abandonment, abuse, and neglect), and abortion are prim arily demographic functions of environmental resource pressures or c u ltu ra lly sanctioned custom requiring parental selection under various social circumstances, or both. The word "prim arily" is used because there are many motives for abortion and infanticide. What I had hoped to find was a leaning toward one cause or the other within the available literature. Selected data from the Human Resources Area Files (H.R.A.F.) have been placed on maps in an appendix for reference. In addition to the maps, there are two basic groupings of data, a historical and a regional overview, and a brief summation and discussion of some of the popular assessments of human infanticide by various theorists. Once the historical and theoretical aspects (taken with the H.R.A.F. information) are reviewed, there appears to be a strong bias toward c u ltu ra lly induced and sanctioned custom as a predominant theme rather than acute or chronic environmental resource pressure promulgated by various theorists. It is possible, however, that in many instances the practices of infanticide, both direct and indirect, as well as abortion, may be cultural vestiges of these pressures. There are, of course, some cases in which group or fam ily survival seem to be paramount. These "survival" cases (in a strict sense) are comparatively few, which came as a surprise. It seems as if the practice of infanticide and abortion occurred wherever it was socially acceptable, under prescribed circumstances, and did not often occur where i t was prohibited or where incentives (emotional or otherwise) were greater for keeping babies alive. 11 Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

    ©2020 Teresa M. Greppi ETHICAL ENTANGLEMENTS: HUMAN-ANIMAL RELATIONSHIPS IN MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY SPAIN BY TERESA M. GREPPI DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Spanish with a minor in Gender and Women’s Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2020 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Joyce L. Tolliver, Chair Professor Luisa Elena Delgado Assistant Professor Jamie L. Jones Associate Professor Eduardo Ledesma Teaching Assistant Professor Pilar Martínez-Quiroga Abstract My project explores three central questions. First, how do analyses of human-animal relationships throughout the twentieth and twenty-first century Spanish literature suggest more inclusive visions of multispecies community? Second, what can these representations of animal protagonists tell us about the ways in which authors might resist hegemonic practices of socially- sanctioned violence toward both humans and non-humans? Finally, more broadly speaking, how might the consideration of a non-Anglophone cultural context such as Spain’s inform current work in literary ecofeminism, ecocriticism, and the environmental humanities? To answer these questions, my analyses draw on theories primarily from animal studies and ecofeminist philosophy. Any ecofeminist approach recognizes all forms of marginalization and systemic violence as inextricably entangled. My analysis adopts ecofeminist Josephine Donovan’s theory that practicing literary analysis through an ethic of care can inspire a cultural change in attitude that discourages domination and promotes responsibility and respect for humans and nonhumans alike. I follow Spanish ecofeminist philosopher Alicia H. Puleo’s adaptation of this idea in the Spanish context in forming my analyses.

Inequality See Equality Infanticide Infanticide refers to intentional practices that cause the death of newborn infants or, second­ arily, older children. Scripture and the Christian tradition are un­ equivocal: infanticide is categorically condemned. Both Judaism and Christianity distinguished themselves in part via their opposition to wide­ spread practices of infanticide in their cultural contexts. Are Christian communities today like­ wise distinguished, Of, like many of their Israel­ ite forebears, do they profess faith in God while worshiping Molech? Infanticide in Scripture Infanticide stands as an almost universal practice across history and culture (Williamson). Primary justifications often cite economic scarcity or popu­ lation control needs, although occasionally infan­ ticide flourished in prosperous cultural contexts (Levenson) . Infanticide or, more precisely, child sacrifice forms the background of much of the OT. Jon Levenson argues that the transformation of child sacrifice, captured in the repeated stories of the death and resurrection of the beloved and/or first­ born son, is at the heart of the Judea-Christian tradition. The Israelites found themselves among peoples who practiced child sacrifice, particularly sacrifice of the firstborn son. In Deut. 12:31 it is said of the inhabitants of Canaan that "they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods" (d.

It interrogates Joyce‘s awareness of how a broad upswing in Ireland‘s post-Famine economy precipitated advertising-intensive consumerism in both rural and urban Ireland. Foci include the late-nineteenth-century transition in agriculture from arable farming to cattle-growing (grazier pastoralism), which, spurring economic growth, facilitated the emergence of a ―strong farmer‖ rural bourgeoisie. The thesis considers how Ulysses inscribes and critiques that relatively affluent coterie‘s expenditures on domestic cultural tourism, as well as hygiene-related products, whose presence on the Irish scene was complicated by a British discourse on imperial cleanliness.

Through literature analysis, the conditions that foster cannibalism are introduced and explained with principles of evolution. The different types of cannibalism are identified with examples that cover a variety of invertebrate and vertebrate organisms. The cultural and biological evolution of cannibalistic practices observed in humans are also discussed. The scope of cannibalism and its adaptations are narrowed by case studies of fish, and specifically the largemouth bass. An experimental design was proposed by the Richardson lab in order to determine the health of largemouth bass in the New York lake, Lake Minnewaska. The largemouth bass were the only fish species to inhabit Lake Minnewaska since 2014, so the health of this population was determined from data acquired by mark and recapture, scale analysis, and standard measurement techniques. The relatively stable population trends and below average growth of the largemouth bass were consistent with the literature on cannibalistic largemouth bass and supported the hypothesis that cannibalism was an evolutionarily adaptive means of survival for the largemouth bass in Lake Minnewaska. The evolution of cannibalistic practices under starvation environments was exemplified in the largemouth bass population of Lake Minnewaska and may be used to understand the state of natural ecosystems.

  • Intrafamily Femicide in Defence of Honour: the Case of Jordan
    Third WorldQuarterly, Vol22, No 1, pp 65 – 82, 2001 Intrafamilyf emicidein de fenceo f honour:the case o fJordan FADIA FAQIR ABSTRACT This article deals with the issue of honourkillings, aparticular type of intrafamily femicide in defenceof honourin Jordan.The legal, social, religious, nationalist andtribal dimensionsand arguments on such killings are presented.Drawing on Arabic and English source material the role ofrumour, social values andother dynamicsin normalisingthis practice in Jordantoday is analysed.Honour killings, whichcontradict manyinternational andnational laws andcovenants, are clearly connectedto the subordinationof womenin Jordanand to the ‘criming down’of domestic violence.The prevailing discrim- inatory culture cannotchange without implementing a comprehensivepro- grammefor socio-legal andpolitical reform. The debateon harm Scholarlyconcentration on harm to womenhas beencriticised recently bymany feminists, whoargue that the debatefocuses solely onviolence, victimisation andoppression of women. 1 TheArab world, however, has notreached the stage wherea similar debateis possible becausedocumentation of and discussion aboutviolence against womenare still in the infancystage. Suchdebates within the Anglo-Saxoncontext, theref ore,do not seem relevant in their entirety to Arabwomen’ s experiences,since most suchwomen are still occupantsof the domestic, private space.Other Western theories, models andanalysis, however, canbe transferred andapplied (with caution)to the Arabexperience of gender violence,which is still largely undocumented. Whatis violence againstwomen? Violenceis the use ofphysical forceto inict injuryon others,but this denition couldbe widened to includeimproper treatment orverbal abuse. It takes place atmacrolevels, amongnation states andwithin communities, andat micro levels within intimate relationships. Theuse ofviolence to maintain privilege turned graduallyinto ‘the systematic andglobal destruction ofwomen’ , 2 orfemicide, 3 with the institutionalisation ofpatriarchy over the centuries.
