Metacritic Reviews. A refreshing look at the Jack the Ripper killings that sets them into context with the political and social events of the time, including the increasing awareness and objection to the plight of British girls sold into prostitution in Europe and the subsequent change in attitude to prostitution as a whole. The fact that her throat had been cut, but the rest of her body had not been mutilated, led the police to surmise that the killer had, in fact, been interrupted by Diemschutz as he entered the yard.

There were eleven Whitechapel murders victims, of whom five are believed to have been victims of the killer who became known as "Jack the Ripper. It was around this time that police enquiries amongst the prostitutes in the area yielded a possible suspect in the form of a man whom the local street walkers had nicknamed "Leather Apron", on account of the fact that he habitually wore such a garment. However, the whole of October went by without another murder and, once more, the people of the area entered November believing that the killing spree was over.

  • Jack the Ripper: the Divided Self and the Alien Other in Late-Victorian Culture and Society
    Jack the Ripper: The Divided Self and the Alien Other in Late-Victorian Culture and Society Michael Plater Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 18 July 2018 Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines late nineteenth-century public and media representations of the infamous “Jack the Ripper” murders of 1888. Focusing on two of the most popular theories of the day – Jack as exotic “alien” foreigner and Jack as divided British “gentleman” – it contends that these representations drew upon a series of emergent social and cultural anxieties in relation to notions of the “self” and the “other.” Examining the widespread contention that “no Englishman” could have committed the crimes, it explores late-Victorian conceptions of Englishness and documents the way in which the Ripper crimes represented a threat to these dominant notions of British identity and masculinity. In doing so, it argues that late-Victorian fears of the external, foreign “other” ultimately masked deeper anxieties relating to the hidden, unconscious, instinctual self and the “other within.” Moreover, it reveals how these psychological concerns were connected to emergent social anxieties regarding degeneration, atavism and the “beast in man.” As such, it evaluates the wider psychological and sociological impact of the case, arguing that the crimes revealed the deep sense of fracture, duality and instability that lay beneath the surface of late-Victorian English life, undermining and challenging dominant notions of progress, civilisation and social advancement. Situating the Ripper narrative within a broader framework of late-nineteenth century cultural uncertainty and crisis, it therefore argues that the crimes (and, more specifically, populist perceptions of these crimes) represented a key defining moment in British history, serving to condense and consolidate a whole series of late-Victorian fears in relation to selfhood and identity.

  • His Brothers' Keeper
    His Brothers’ Keeper Lawyer Gregory Stanton refuses to let the world ignore the genocide of two million Kampucheans. This is the story of their tragedy and his dedication. By Michael Matza There is a compelling sense of mission about 35-year-old Gregory Howard Stanton, a 1982 graduate of Yale Law School. This past April, Stanton launched a one- man effort he calls the Kampuchean Genocide Project, through which he hopes to raise $300,000 to send researchers and scientists to Southeast Asia to gather evidence that would document—precisely and for posterity—the crimes of the Pol Pot government in Democratic Kampuchea (Cambodia) from April 1975 through the end of 1978. Although it was thrown out of power by a Vietnamese-backed invasion in 1979, the government that was named for Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot still represents Kampuchea as part of a united front in the United Nations. That it does so belies a past that survivors of Khmer Rouge brutalities remember with dread. In the three and a half years that it was in power, the Pol Pot regime is said to have intentionally murdered at least one million Kampucheans and to have imposed conditions of slave labor, starvation, and forced evacuations that resulted in the deaths of more than one million others. In a country of approximately eight million people, one quarter of the population was systematically exterminated through a maniacal program that seemed like the Final Solution writ small. For Greg Stanton, such mind-boggling carnage imposes a personal obligation. “There are people who can become numb to the killing.

  • Cinema Invisibile 2014-The Killing-Flyer
    cinema LUX cinema invisibile febbraio > maggio 2014 martedì ore 21.00 giovedì ore 18.30 The Killing - Linden, Holder e il caso Larsen The Killing serie tv - USA stagione 1 (2011) + stagione 2 (2012) 13 episodi + 13 episodi Seattle. Una giovane ragazza, Rosie Larsen, viene uccisa. La detective Sarah Linden, nel suo ultimo giorno di lavoro alla omicidi, si ritrova per le mani un caso complicato che non si sente di lasciare al nuovo collega Stephen Holder, incaricato di sostituirla. Nei 26 giorni delle indagini (e nei 26 episodi dell'avvincente serie tv) la città mostra insospettate zone d'ombra: truci rivelazioni e insinuanti sospetti rimbalzano su tutto il contesto cittadino, lacerano la famiglia Larsen (memorabile lo struggimento progressivo di padre, madre e zia) e sconvolgono l'intera comunità non trascurando politici, insegnanti, imprenditori, responsabili di polizia... The Killing vive di atmosfere tese e incombenti e di un ritmo pacato, dal passo implacabile e animato dai continui contraccolpi dell'investigazione, dall'affollarsi di protagonisti saturi di ambiguità con responsabilità sempre più difficili da dissipare. Seattle, con il suo grigiore morale e la sua fitta trama di pioggia, accompagna un'indagine di sofferto coinvolgimento emotivo per il pubblico e per i due detective: lei taciturna e introversa, “incapsulata” nei suoi sgraziati maglioni di lana grossa; lui, dal fascino tenebroso, con un passato di marginalità sociale e un presente tutt’altro che rassicurante. Il tempo dell'indagine lento e prolungato di The Killing sa avvincere e crescere in partecipazione ed angoscia. Linden e Holder (sempre i cognomi nella narrazione!) faticheranno a dipanare il caso e i propri rapporti interpersonali, ma l'alchimia tra una regia impeccabile e un calibrato intreccio sa tenere sempre alta la tensione; fino alla sconvolgente soluzione del giallo, in cui alla beffa del destino, che esalta il cinismo dei singoli e scardina ogni acquiescenza familiare, può far da contraltare solo la toccante compassione per la tragica fine di Rosie.

The principal movers and shakers of the law work from dawn to dusk, although they often have agents who work at night. 2 Their business is about the outer world and how we treat each other during the day. Sometimes the law worries about our inner life when determining whether a contract was made5 or what might have prompted a murder,4 but usually the emphasis in the law is on our external conduct and how we wheel and deal with each other. The law turns away from the self; it does not engage in the business of introspection or revelation. t©1994 Louise Harmon *Professor of Law, Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center, Touro College.

Frances Coles – Swallow Gardens The Whitechapel Murders Of the eleven Whitechapel Murders, it is widely believed that Jack the Ripper is directly responsible for five of them. It is possible that the Ripper may have claimed more than five victims, but most experts agree that at least five of the East End murders were the work of Jack the Ripper. Emma Elizabeth Smith The first victim in the series of Whitechapel Murders was a prostitute by the name of Emma Elizabeth Smith. She was attacked and raped on Osbourn Street in Whitechapel on 3 April 1888. During the sexual assault, her attackers inserted a blunt object into her vagina, an injury which would take her life the following day. Before she died the next day at a London hospital, Smith told authorities that two or three men, one of them a teenager, were responsible for her attack. The press had linked Smith’s murder to the subsequent Whitechapel Murders, but most experts later believed that particular murder to be the result of random gang violence. Martha Tabram The next victim in the series of Whitechapel Murders was Martha Tabram, a prostitute in the East End.
