EVANGEL • jan 2014 5 BY THE NUMBERS FIVE FACTS ABOUT ATHEISTS 1. The number of people who identify themselves as atheists in the United States has been rising, modestly but steadily, in recent years. A Pew Forum aggregated poll shows that 2.4% of American adults say they are atheists when asked about their religious identity, up from 1.6% in 2007. 2. Atheists, in general, are more likely to be male and younger than the overall population (67% are men; 38% are ages 18-29). About four in 10 atheists (43%) have a college degree, compared with 29% of the general public. TOP NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS 1. Lose weight. 2. Get organized. 3. Spend less, save more. 4. Enjoy life to the fullest. 5. Stay fit and healthy. 6. Learn something exciting. 7. Quit smoking. 8. Help others in their dreams. 9. Fall in love. 10. Spend more time with family. —Journal of Clinical Psychology (University of Scranton, Dec. 2012) 3. Although the literal definition of atheist is “a person State Laws Regulating Abortion Providers who believes that God does not exist,” 14% of those who call themselves atheists also say they believe in States that require abortion States that require abortion clinics to meet ambulatory doctors to have admitting God or a universal spirit. Alternatively, there are many surgical standards (26) privileges at a local hospital (12) people who fit the dictionary definition of atheist but do not call themselves atheists. More Americans say they do not believe in God or a universal spirit (7%) than say they are atheists (2.4%). 4. Not all atheists see a contradiction between atheism and spirituality. A quarter (26%) say they think of themselves as spiritual people, and 3% consider themselves religious people. Four in 10 atheists (41%) say they often think about the meaning and purpose of life. 5. Among atheists, 82% say they either often (52%) or sometimes (30%) feel a deep connection with nature and the earth; among all American adults, 85% either often (58%) or sometimes (26%) feel such a connection.

  • The Shakespeare Moot Project
    “Not Drowning, Waiving: Responsibility to Others in the Court of Shakespeare” in forthcoming Special Issue of Law, Culture & the Humanities. ‘As if’ – the Court of Shakespeare and the relationships of law and literature Desmond Manderson* I. Law and the day after The McGill Court of Shakespeare is now in its fourth year. Each year the Court imagines and constructs a new case to be mooted, and assigns students to argue the case before it in a public trial. Without wishing to trespass too much on previous explanations I have written about this process,1 this is not about the law in Shakespeare's time, or what Shakespeare says about law: it is something far more radical. The Court thinks of Shakespeare simply as law, just as we think of the Civil Code or the judgments of the Supreme Court as law. By a process of dramatic invention and indirection, the project seeks to model and to explore the nature of interpretation, the development of a legal tradition, and the way in which value and meaning intersect in the creation of law and literature alike. Clearly there are pedagogic elements to this task. The Court presents those who participate in it, whether as judges, as legal counsel, or as audience – clients have they none, but spectators are there many – with an unusual opportunity to create an organic and responsive model for the ways in which resources to articulate social values can be developed; to explore the ways in which traditions of legal and textual interpretation are developed and modified; to offer new insights into the normative implications of a body of work of supreme cultural significance; to explore the particular nature of Shakespeare's drama, and of literature generally, as a forum for the explorations of normative social 2 values; and to consider, as broadly as possible, how literature and literary thinking might influence and might have already influenced law and legal thinking.

Goldstein Dissertation Abstract This dissertation addresses the connections between everyday violence and digital technology. I describe three years of ethnographic research concerning a community policing program called “pacificação ” (pacification) in a Brazilian favela (shanty town). Alongside supporting a permanent police force that destabilized a powerful drug faction, pacification policy endorsed a wide range of social projects and dramatically reshaped the relationship between the Brazilian State and its marginalized citizens. Among the social projects associated with pacification were a number of “inclusão digital” (digital inclusion) programs that combined technical literacy with critical political literacy in the hope of disrupting exclusionary conditions. During my observations of these programs, I found what I call a hidden politics of digital reproduction.

The literature reveals a city exploding with cultural, racial and social differences, making Los Angeles a confusing and alienating place. The literature of Los Angeles reflects the changing face of the city. Los Angeles was always a city with a promising future, economic booms and optimism seemed to suggest that here was a place where the American Dream really could come true.

Signature: Roger Blanton Date: March 15, 2018 2 Abstract While portrayals of women in post-apartheid literature have attracted a great deal of academic attention, far less consideration has been given to the depiction of men. My project begins from this point of omission by examining a range of novels to consider how constructions of masculinity have been influenced by South Africa’s transition from apartheid rule to democratic governance.

  • The Australian Beachspace: Flagging the Spaces of Australian Beach Texts
    THE AUSTRALIAN BEACHSPACE: FLAGGING THE SPACES OF AUSTRALIAN BEACH TEXTS Elizabeth Ellison Bachelor of Creative Industries (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Writing and Literary Studies Discipline School of Media, Entertainment, and Creative Arts Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2013 Supervisory Team Principal Supervisor Dr Lesley Hawkes Creative Writing and Literary Studies Associate Supervisor Dr Sean Maher Film, Television and New Media ii The Australian Beachspace: flagging the spaces of Australian beach texts Keywords Australian beaches, Australian film, Australian literature, Australian studies, gender studies, Indigenous film, Indigenous literature, spatial studies, Thirdspace, beachspace The Australian Beachspace: flagging the spaces of Australian beach texts iii Abstract The Australian beach is a significant component of the Australian culture and a way of life. The Australian Beachspace explores existing research about the Australian beach from a cultural and Australian studies perspective. Initially, the beach in Australian studies has been established within a binary opposition. Fiske, Hodge, and Turner (1987) pioneered the concept of the beach as a mythic space, simultaneously beautiful but abstract. In comparison, Meaghan Morris (1998) suggested that the beach was in fact an ordinary or everyday space. The research intervenes in previous discussions, suggesting that the Australian beach needs to be explored in spatial terms as well as cultural ones. The thesis suggests the beach is more than these previously established binaries and uses Soja’s theory of Thirdspace (1996) to posit the term beachspace as a way of describing this complex site. The beachspace is a lived space that encompasses both the mythic and ordinary and more.
