Harris is currently serving time for four other indecent assaults. He was released from Stafford Prison to appear in hisretrial for three counts of indecent assault after a jury in a previous trial failed to reached verdicts. The broadcaster had been questioned by police earlier this week. The decision meant the jury heard nothing about the images and was seen at the time as a major setback for the prosecution. Stephen Vullo QC, defending, said Harris is so certain of his innocence that throughout the investigation of all the charges, he wanted to find as many witnesses as possible.

Of particular interest are the notions of `new ethnicities', `cultures of hybridity' and `diaspora'. These concepts are used as the basis for an empirical study attempting to show how they might be realised at the level of ordinary everyday life. The research informants are a group of 30 male and female adolescents (The Blackhill youth) of mainly South Asian descent in a secondary school in the western suburbs of London.

  • Suffer the Little Children
    Suffer the little children Introduction Suffer the children For this paper I take this quote from the ASV Bible in a different sense to its real meaning. Obviously the real interpretation of Matthew 19:14 is, ‘Let alone’ or ‘permit’. 1 However, this paper regards the real suffering of children in this corrupt society. This Bible verse is one of many that show Jesus’ concern for young children. In this he is manifesting the concern of God in general for children, hence the Lord’s condemnation in the OT of hurting children. 2 The iniquity of hurting children Since God cares for children and commands his people to be good to their children, it is anathema to hurt children; indeed this is ingrained upon the conscience of every rational person. Thus the practice of abusing children is both irrational and worthy of God’s condemnation to hell fire. Any government that presided over abusing children, or knowingly tolerated this abuse, is insane, ungodly and worthy of condemnation. The great sin of Israel One of the key reasons given in the Old Testament for Israel’s judgment and condemnation was that its idolatry from God to idols caused Israelites to sacrifice their children to Molech. Israel’s apostasy was so great that its rulers ritually killed their own children. Ritual killing of children was an evil practised by idolatrous nations and so God commanded Israel, from the beginning, never to do such a thing. Indeed, God judged the previous nations in Canaan for completing their iniquity and making their judgment certain by sacrificing their children in the fulness of their sin.

Your answers will help us improve The Conversation. Take the survey Academic rigour, journalistic flair Louis Theroux’s new Jimmy Savile documentary is a horrible misstep October 3, 2016 4.01pm BST Author Karen Boyle Chair in Feminist Media Studies, University of Stirling Theroux the looking glass. BBC The original BBC documentary by Louis Theroux in 2000 about Jimmy Savile, the former British TV star thought to have sexually abused at least 500 women and children, was uncomfortable viewing even before his crimes were common knowledge. Watching with the benefit of hindsight, one moment that really sticks out in When Louis Met Jimmy is when Theroux finds a notepad with his ex­ directory phone number on it. “There’s nothing I cannot get,” Savile tells him. Theroux revisits the moment in his new documentary, Louis Theroux: Savile. It is a statement of Savile’s power that helps us understand why his victims – a number of whom Theroux interviews in the film – found it so difficult to speak out while Savile was alive. Some are clearly still haunted by their failure to do so. Theroux mostly acts as witness to their testimonies, aware of his own complicity in the myth­making that ensured their silence for so long. Yet as much as these victims deserve to be heard, the way their testimonies are framed is troubling. Louis Theroux: Savile is meant to be about the relationship https://theconversation.com/louis­therouxs­new­jimmy­savile­documentary­is­a­horrible­misstep­66421 1/4 11/21/2016 Louis Theroux's new Jimmy Savile documentary is a horrible misstep between these two men.

  • Cultural Studies and the Politics of Intellectual Location
    CRITICAL HABITATIONS: CULTURAL STUDIES AND THE POLITICS OF INTELLECTUAL LOCATION Tania Lewis (M.A., B.A.Hons., Canterbury; MB.ChB., Otago, NZ) Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, March 2000 Department of English with Cultural Studies The University of Melbourne ABSTRACT Over the past four or so decades, a number of social transformations—including in particular the dramatic expansion of the tertiary education sector—have impacted significantly on the role and status of the intellectual in contemporary life. While the authority of the intellectual was once based on a claim to universality, the openly professionalised nature of contemporary intellectual life has thoroughly problematised such claims. Accordingly, the broadly representative role that so-called “public” intellectuals were once said to have played has increasingly been challenged by more “specific” models of intellectual practice, models that have emerged in particular out of new fields of knowledge such as cultural studies. While cultural conservatives have argued that this challenge marks the declining status of the intellectual in contemporary society, the emergence of a variety of “new” intellectual models linked to specific social and institutional formations suggests that, far from declining, concerns over the status and responsibility of the intellectual are ongoing. This thesis examines the complex relations between contemporary intellectual practices and social and cultural location. Focusing in particular on the field of cultural studies, I examine the careers and biographies of four intellectuals. In my introductory chapter I review the major theories of intellectual practice circulating within cultural studies and conclude that a new, more “located” approach to understanding intellectual practice is required.

  • Suffer the Little Children – 2
    Suffer the little children – 2 Introduction A few months ago I sent out my first paper on the subject of UK institutional paedophilia. This was a shocking expose of just how involved all levels of the establishment are in paedophile rings, right to the top of the monarchy and Parliament. Although it covered 75 detailed pages, with full references, it was really only an introduction to the subject. It beggars belief to grasp the full extent of the criminality of the establishment. There is no doubt that if the extent of this criminality was known to the public, it would bring the country to its knees; but that is what is necessary to rid institutions of a free reign of abusing children. However, shortly after I sent out that paper to my circle, the bubble of state secrecy began to burst wide open. This followed the courageous involvement of a group of seven MPs who began to demand answers. This, in turn was subsequent to Labour MP Tom Watson’s questions to David Cameron regarding Westminster paedophile rings (which led to Operations Fairbank / Fernbridge) and then a book by Simon Danczuk MP 1 exposing the child abuse by Sir Cyril Smith in Rochdale which had been long covered up by the police, the council and many people in authority. All of these, of course, resulted from the publicity regarding the full extent of the child abuse of Jimmy Savile. What is necessary is to get the full story from survivors of child abuse, families of the victims of child abuse, social workers that tried to stop child abuse whose reports were squashed, whistle-blowers and investigative journalists who could not be bribed and gagged.

  • Stuart Hall and Black British Art 62
    von Rosenberg: Stuart Hall and Black British Art 62 Stuart Hall and Black British Art INGRID VON ROSENBERG Technische Universität Dresden, Germany Introduction: A Sidelined Area of Hall’s Work The following article deals with a somewhat neglected aspect of Stuart Hall’s manifold activities and its relevance for his theoretical work: his interest in and commitment to the promotion of black British art. To start with, a brief definition seems helpful as, in the course of time, the term ‘black’ has been charged with various meanings. Once used in a disparaging racist sense from the colonialists' position, it was later adopted by black people with self-confidence, first in an essentialist sense, later in more differentiating ways. It was Stuart Hall who highlighted the importance of cultural differences between the various groups living in diasporic conditions in Britain, most famously in his seminal article “New Ethnicities” of 1989. Yet when he wrote or spoke about ‘black art’ or ‘black artists’, he used the term black in the same “broad and inclusive way” as the politically active artists in the 1970s and 1980s had done, referring “to all those communities, of whatever ethnic or ‘racial’ origin, who were regarded as ‘other’ – different – and thus racially excluded” (Hall, 2001a: 35). The following study is based on this definition. In the later part of his life Stuart Hall became institutionally involved in black art, dedicating much of his time to this engagement: for 15 years he held the chairs of the boards of both Iniva (Institute of International Visual Art) and Autograph ABP (a non- profit making arts agency promoting photographers from ethnic minorities), two leading institutions focusing on ‘black art’ in the defined sense, i.e.
