  • Douglas Sanders's Article
    5th Asian Law Institute Conference National University of Singapore, May 22 and 23, 2008 377 - and the unnatural afterlife of British colonialism Professor Douglas Sanders Chulalongkorn University, Mahidol University sanders_gwb @ yahoo.ca, May 6, 2008 Article 377 of the Indian Penal Code of 1860 made “carnal intercourse against the order of nature” an offence. This provision, or something very close to it, is presently in force in all former British colonies in Asia with the exception of Hong Kong. Even the article number, 377, is repeated in the current laws in force in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei - as if it were a special brand name, all of its own. Sri Lanka, Seychelles and Papua New Guinea have the key wording from article 377, but different section numbers. Parallel wording appears in the criminal laws of many of the former colonies in Africa. Surprisingly, viewing the matter from Asia, the 377 wording was never part of the criminal law in Britain. 377 is an amazingly successful law – if we judge it by its geographical spread and its longevity. Soon it will be 150 years old. How was it formulated? How did it come to apply in Asia? What is its role today? 2 First, we have to look back to the reign of Henry VIII and the break of the English church from Rome. I BACK TO BUGGERY British criminal laws covering homosexual acts began in 1534. Legislation in the reign of Henry VIII, prohibited …the detestable and abominable Vice of Buggery committed with mankind or beast.

Taboo: Why are Real-Life British Serial Killers Rarely Represented on Film? Antony Robert Earnshaw Sheffield Hallam University MA English by Research September 2017 1 Abstract This thesis assesses changing British attitudes to the dramatisation of crimes committed by domestic serial killers and highlights the dearth of films made in this country on this subject. It discusses the notion of taboos and, using empirical and historical research, illustrates how filmmakers’ attempts to initiate productions have been vetoed by social, cultural and political sensitivities. Comparisons are drawn between the prevalence of such product in the United States and its uncommonness in Britain, emphasising the issues around the importing of similar foreign material for exhibition on British cinema screens and the importance of geographic distance to notions of appropriateness. The influence of the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) is evaluated. This includes a focus on how a central BBFC policy – the so- called 30-year rule of refusing to classify dramatisations of ‘recent’ cases of factual crime – was scrapped and replaced with a case-by-case consideration that allowed for the accommodation of a specific film championing a message of tolerance.

E-mail: [email protected] 2 Abstract This paper provides an introduction to the approach of the Scottish psychiatrist, Thomas Ferguson Rodger (1907–78), as reconstructed from his archive. Rodger’s contribution has been largely neglected within the history of Scottish psychiatry. This paper amends this neglect through situating Rodger’s eclecticism in relation to both the biopsychosocial approach of his mentors, Adolf Meyer and David Henderson, and psychiatry’s de- institutionalization in the 1950s and 1960s. It is posited that Rodger’s eclecticism was a considered response to the pressures of this transitional phase to balance physical, psychological and social approaches, and a critical acknowledgement of the instability of contemporary psychiatric therapeutics underlying how contemporary therapies functioned. More psychodynamic than his predecessors, the importance of social relations for Rodger led him to acknowledge psychiatry’s limitations.

  • Guide to Archival Resources for Jewish Studies in Edinburgh
    HTTP://JEWISHSTUDIES.DIV.ED.AC.UK/ Guide to Archival Resources for Jewish Studies in Edinburgh Researched, compiled, edited, and annotated by Mirella Yandoli Edinburgh, May 2013. http://jewishstudies.div.ed.ac.uk/ Guide to Archival Resources 2 Introduction This guide to academic archival resources is a subject-by-subject overview of what Edinburgh may have to offer researchers in a variety of research areas. Archival resources have been selected on the basis of their connection to Jewish individuals, groups, organisations, theology et al. Many of the categories relate directly to the Jewish community in Edinburgh and Scotland and/or Jewish religion and will therefore present scope for researchers in Jewish Studies and history. Other categories and archival listings point more obliquely towards more diverse subject areas such as musical theory, political theory and literature amongst many others. Overall the guide is designed to be as broad as possible and the Jewish connection that links them all can simply function as a research channel through which a range of subjects can be approached. The subject categories are arranged alphabetically and each one is given a table with a chronologically organised list of relevant material. The different archives in Edinburgh are listed below. Along with holdings found in Edinburgh, the Scottish Jewish Archives Centre, based in Glasgow, and the Scottish Catholic Archives are also listed due to the relevance of their collections. Researchers aware of more archival holdings or of items within the archival holdings listed below which have not been included, are invited to contribute their knowledge. This overview is not finite and the overall intention is that the guide serves as an initial glimpse into what Edinburgh may have to offer in terms of research and resources for research.

  • HOMOSEXUALITY and the ANGLICAN COMMUNION: EVOLVING REFLECTIONS a Submission to the Anglican Church of Canada's Commission On
    HOMOSEXUALITY AND THE ANGLICAN COMMUNION: EVOLVING REFLECTIONS A Submission to the Anglican Church of Canada's Commission on the Marriage Canon Karl D. Furr May 6, 2014 722 Selkirk Rd. Kingston, Ontario 1 PREFACE My original intent in writing this paper is primarily two fold. First to review the development within the Anglican Communion and the Anglican Church of Canada of the traditional thinking regarding same-sex relationships. Second, since Anglican theology has relied on Scripture, Tradition and Reason, to study the scriptural foundation of the position taken by various biblical scholars on the issue and to apply reason to this issue in order to develop further my own thinking on this issue. Subsequently in July 6, 2013 the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada voted to bring to its next meeting in 2016 a resolution changing the church’s law to allow same-sex marriage. A Commission on the Marriage Canon was established. The Commission has invited submissions from interested parties. I am therefore submitting this paper to the Commission. I am especially indebted to the book, The Anglican Communion And Homosexuality: A Resource To Enable Listening And Dialogue (2008), edited by Philip Groves, published at the request of the Primates of the Anglican Communion. Its excellent list of references allowed me to read many of the original papers by scholars referred to in the book. Many of those papers are available online. My Orientation My evolving perspective with respect to this issue reflects my background as a Canadian Anglican Christian. I am a straight married man with four children.
