Paper 27. http://epublications.marquette.edu/dissertations_mu/27 “JUSTICE WITHOUT PARTIALITY”: WOMEN AND THE LAW IN COLONIAL MARYLAND, 1648-1715 by Monica C. Witkowski A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2010 ABSTRACT “JUSTICE WITHOUT PARTIALITY”: WOMEN AND THE LAW IN COLONIAL MARYLAND, 1648-1715 Monica C. Witkowski Marquette University, 2010 What was the legal status of women in early colonial Maryland? This is the central question answered by this dissertation. Women, as exemplified through a series of case studies, understood the law and interacted with the nascent Maryland legal system. Each of the cases in the following chapters is slightly different. Each case examined in this dissertation illustrates how much independent legal agency women in the colony demonstrated. Throughout the seventeenth century, Maryland women appeared before the colony’s Provincial and county courts as witnesses, plaintiffs, defendants, and attorneys in criminal and civil trials. Women further entered their personal cattle marks, claimed land, and sued other colonists. This study asserts that they improved their social standing through these interactions with the courts. By exerting this much legal knowledge, they created an important place for themselves in Maryland society. Historians have begun to question the interpretation that Southern women were restricted to the home as housewives and mothers. -

Transcript of the Truth Is out There
1 You’re listening to Imaginary Worlds, a show about how we create them and why we suspend our disbelief. I’m Eric Molinsky. There are two ways to go when extending a franchise – reboots, or revivals. I’m a sucker for the picking up where we left off – even if it doesn’t work a lot of the time because after so many years, the actors can’t relate to their characters anymore or the zeitgeist has moved on. But I just love the idea that these fictional characters are still going about their lives even while we’re not watching them. And so I will tune in with cautious optimism when The X-Files resumes for a limited run this winter. CLIP: X-FILES At its height, The X-Files averaged 20 million viewers a week – a huge number even before TV got fractured. I was so obsessed with the show, I had action figures of Mulder and Scully on my windowsill, donning little FBI badges, plastic guns and flashlights. In case you never watched the show -- Fox Mulder and Dana Scully were FBI agents assigned to paranormal cases. They were also on an epic quest to unravel a conspiracy between aliens and a small group of powerful men that were quietly preparing the human race for colonization. Mulder was believed in every supernatural phenomenon. Scully was the skeptic. But I wasn’t a fan to the end. David Duchovny left after seven seasons, and I thought they should’ve wrapped it up but they kept going with new actors. -

Ils imposent aux créateurs des contraintes et permettent de constituer un auditoire fidèle (c’est le plaisir générique), compétent (par une bonne compréhension des codes), exigeant (avec un horizon d’attente clair). Ils permettent aussi aux critiques d’étudier ces œuvres immenses (parfois des centaines d’heures de télévision pour une seule série) par des approches sémiotiques, structurelles, narratologiques, de réception, etc. La question du genre en série télévisée est particulièrement complexe, puisqu’elle s’inscrit à la fois dans des considérations intrinsèques liées à l’histoire et au format du média lui-même (sitcom, telenovela, minisérie, etc.), mais aussi à des critères extrinsèques, qui la replacent dans une histoire plus large des genres littéraires et cinématographiques (mélodrame, comédie, tragédie, mais aussi science-fiction, policier, etc.). -

THE X FILES FADE IN: EXT. STREET - DAY A typically all-American, white-picket-fence neighbourhood; all angular set houses, neatly trimmed gardens, leafy trees hanging down. HAGERSTOWN, MARYLAND 3:43pm A young BOY (around eleven years old, tall, dark hair, innocent face) cycles down the sidewalk. He passes an elderly NEIGHBOUR mowing the lawn. BOY Hi, Mr. Silversteen! The old neighbour - MR. SILVERSTEEN - smiles and waves back at him, saying hello but it can’t be heard for the mower. The pleasant Boy, full of life, cycles on before turning into the driveway of a house holding a mailbox marked: ‘FRIEDMAN’. The garage is open and the Boy rides it inside, leaping off the top and jogging deeper into the house-- INT. FRIEDMAN RESIDENCE - CONTINUOUS --running immediately into a pair of TODDLERS, a BOY and GIRL, running around the house screaming and chasing each other. MRS. FRIEDMAN (O.C.) (shouts) Will you two be careful?! You’ll hurt yourselves! Moving past them, grinning, the Boy moves through the house - passing a picture of good old Jesus Christ on the wall. BOY Hey Mom. MRS. FRIEDMAN (O.C.) Hey honey, I’m in the kitchen. BOY Just going to the bathroom. MRS. FRIEDMAN (O.C.) Don’t be long, supper’s on the table. Racing up the stairs, the Boy hears his mother once again call the Toddlers - still running about, screaming. 2. INT. UPSTAIRS LANDING - MOMENTS LATER The toilet flushes and the Boy emerges from the bathroom, after briefly drying his hands on a towel. He moves to the stairs--until he begins to hear a BABY crying from one of the upstairs bedrooms. -

Dead Alive, Dead Outside, Alive Inside” “
24683_U01.qxd 11/15/04 12:53 PM Page 1 Introduction “Dead alive, dead outside, alive inside” “In my thinking, I see that people forgot me.” Catarina said this to me as she sat peddling an old exercise bicycle and holding a doll. This woman of kind manners, with a piercing gaze, was in her early thirties; her speech was lightly slurred. I first met Catarina in March 1997, in southern Brazil at a place called Vita. I remember asking myself: where on earth does she think she is going on this bicycle? Vita is the end- point. Like many others, Catarina had been left there to die. Vita, which means “life” in Latin, is an asylum in Porto Alegre, a com- paratively well-off city of some two million people. Vita was founded in 1987 by Zé das Drogas, a former street kid and drug dealer. After his conversion to Pentecostalism, Zé had a vision in which the Spirit told him to open an institution where people like him could find God and regenerate their lives. Zé and his religious friends squatted on private property near downtown, where they began a makeshift rehabilitation center for drug addicts and al- coholics. Soon, however, the scope of Vita’s mission began to widen. An in- creasing number of people who had been cut off from family life—the men- tally ill and the sick, the unemployed and the homeless—were left there by relatives, neighbors, hospitals, and the police. Vita’s team then opened an in- firmary, where the abandoned waited with death. -

A DANGEROUS ART: GREEK PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL RISK IN IMPERIAL ROME DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Molly Ayn Jones Lewis, B.A., M.A. ********* The Ohio State University May, 2009 Dissertation Committee: Duane W. Roller, Advisor Approved by Julia Nelson Hawkins __________________________________ Frank Coulson Advisor Greek and Latin Graduate Program Fritz Graf Copyright by Molly Ayn Jones Lewis 2009 ABSTRACT Recent scholarship of identity issues in Imperial Rome has focused on the complicated intersections of “Greek” and “Roman” identity, a perfect microcosm in which to examine the issue in the high-stakes world of medical practice where physicians from competing Greek-speaking traditions interacted with wealthy Roman patients. I argue that not only did Roman patients and politicians have a variety of methods at their disposal for neutralizing the perceived threat of foreign physicians, but that the foreign physicians also were given ways to mitigate the substantial dangers involved in treating the Roman elite. I approach the issue from three standpoints: the political rhetoric surrounding foreign medicines, the legislation in place to protect doctors and patients, and the ethical issues debated by physicians and laypeople alike. I show that Roman lawmakers, policy makers, and physicians had a variety of ways by which the physical, political, and financial dangers of foreign doctors and Roman patients posed to one another could be mitigated. The dissertation argues that despite barriers of xenophobia and ethnic identity, physicians practicing in Greek traditions were fairly well integrated into the cultural milieu of imperial Rome, and were accepted (if not always trusted) members of society.
