  • The Stabbing of George Harry Storrs
    THE STABBING OF GEORGE HARRY STORRS JONATHAN GOODMAN $15.00 THE STABBING OF GEORGE HARRY STORRS BY JONATHAN GOODMAN OCTOBER OF 1910 WAS A VINTAGE MONTH FOR murder trials in England. On Saturday, the twenty-second, after a five-day trial at the Old Bailey in London, the expatriate American doctor Hawley Harvey Crippen was found guilty of poi­ soning his wife Cora, who was best known by her stage name of Belle Elmore. And on the following Monday, Mark Wilde entered the dock in Court Number One at Chester Castle to stand trial for the stabbing of George Harry Storrs. He was the second person to be tried for the murder—the first, Cornelius Howard, a cousin of the victim, having earlier been found not guilty. The "Gorse Hall mystery," as it became known from its mise-en-scene, the stately residence of the murdered man near the town of Stalybridge in Cheshire, was at that time almost twelve months old; and it had captured the imagination of the British public since the morning of November 2, 1909, when, according to one reporter, "the whole country was thrilled with the news of the outrage." Though Storrs, a wealthy mill-owner, had only a few weeks before erected a massive alarm bell on the roof of Gorse Hall after telling the police of an attempt on his life, it did not save him from being stabbed to death by a mysterious intruder. Storrs died of multiple wounds with­ out revealing anything about his attacker, though it was the impression of [Continued on back flap] THE STABBING OF GEORGE HARRY STORRS THE STABBING OF JONATHAN GOODMAN OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS COLUMBUS Copyright © 1983 by the Ohio State University Press All rights reserved.

  • NM-16-Negotiations and Professional Boxing.Indd
    a 16 b Negotiation and Professional Boxing Habib Chamoun-Nicolas, Randy D. Hazlett, Russell Mora, Gilberto Mendoza & Michael L. Welsh* Editors’ Note: In this groundbreaking piece, a group of authors with unimpeachable expertise in one of the least likely environments ever considered for negotiation analyze what is actually going on in the professional boxing ring. Their surprising conclusions take the facile claim of our field that “everybody negotiates” to a whole new level. Not only does this chapter serve as a kind of extreme-case demonstration of why students should consider learning negotiation to be central to any occupation they may take up in future; it might well serve as inspira- tion for some new studies in other fields in which negotiation may previously have been thought irrelevant. Introduction Referee Judge Mills Lane, a former marine and decorated fighter in his day, was blindsided. Mills, a late substitution due to an objection from the Tyson camp, issued an early blanket warning to keep punch- es up. According to our own analysis of the fight video (Boxingsociety. com 1997), defending heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield gained an early advantage with a characteristic forward lunging style. Following a punch, Holyfield would lock up with the smaller Mike Tyson, shoulder-to-shoulder, applying force throughout. Holyfield fin- ished the round clearly in the lead. At the 2:28 mark in the second, a * Habib Chamoun-Nicolas is an honorary professor at Catholic University of Santiago Gua yaquil-Ecuador and an adjunct professor and member of the ex- ecutive board at the Cameron School of Business at University of St.

  • Title: the Boxer's Point of View: an Ethnography of Cultural Production
    Title: The boxer’s point of view: an ethnography of cultural production and athletic development among amateur and professional boxers in England Name: Alex Stewart This is a digitised version of a dissertation submitted to the University of Bedfordshire. It is available to view only. This item is subject to copyright. The boxer’s point of view: An ethnography of cultural production and athletic development among amateur and professional boxers in England ALEX STEWART A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Luton August 2008 For Mum with all my Love Elizabeth Psaltis (1943-2003) i Abstract Since the late nineteenth century boxing in England has been socially organised into two ideologically distinctive versions - amateur and professional boxing – that to this day are practiced in spatially segregated social universes. Nonetheless, both amateur and professional boxing-practitioners understandings and lived experiences in and through boxing are necessarily grounded in the wider social and cultural contexts through which they interpret meaning and construct worldviews and identity. Thus despite the institutional, ideological and spatial boundaries demarcating either code, on a rather more subtle yet incredibly powerful cultural level, amateur and professional boxing are both symbolically and practically deeply intertwined. Over a five year period, I conducted ‘insider’ ethnographic research among distinct cohorts of amateur and professional boxers based in Luton and London to investigate the lived experiences and socially constructed worldviews, values and identities developed by practitioners immersed in either code. The overriding aim of this research was to critically evaluate the limits and possibilities of boxing-practitioners association with and development through ‘boxing’ henceforth.

  • 'The Shark Caller' and 'The Dog with Seven Names'
    ‘The Shark Caller’ and ‘The Dog with Seven Names’ and ‘Crafting Animal Characters in Fiction for Young Readers’ Dianne Wolfer Student number 10173725 Dip.Ed. (Melbourne State College, 1982) MA (Creative Writing) (University of Western Australia, 2005) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The University of Western Australia School of Humanities (English and Cultural Studies) 2017 Abstract The fiction component of this thesis consists of two novels, The Dog with Seven Names and The Shark Caller. These works are linked by their usage of animal characters and their exploration of social themes. The Dog with Seven Names is a work of historical fiction for a young readership of 9-12 years; it uses an animal viewpoint to explore the impact of war upon north-western Australia 1939-1943. The Shark Caller is a contemporary cross-cultural quest-fantasy for a young readership of 10-14 years; it explores environmental issues set in the New Ireland Province of Papua New Guinea. Shark involves human protagonists who become embroiled in a fantasy scenario involving confrontation with undersea creatures; Dog uses an animal to narrate a sequence of events in close parallel with researched history of the period. In this way each novella could be said to work variations upon a clutch of thematic and technical concerns with animal portrayals (of differing kinds) presenting a major creative challenge in each case. The accompanying exegesis, “Crafting Animal Characters in Fiction for Young Readers”, explores my own authorial practice in the context of a discussion based on a wider survey of exemplar Australian children’s titles featuring animal characters.

F. Tanner, Committee Member and Chair of the Department of English Lynn Eubank, Graduate Chair of the Department of English C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Clay, Kevin M., Asleep in the Arms of God. Doctor of Philosophy (English), December, 1999, 228 pp. A work of creative fiction in the form of a short novel, Asleep in the Arms of God is a limited-omniscient and omniscient narrative describing the experiences of a man named Wafer Roberts, born in Jack County, Texas, in 1900. The novel spans the years from 1900 to 1925, and moves from the Keechi Valley of North Texas, to Fort Worth and then France during World War One, and back again to the Keechi Valley. The dissertation opens with a preface, which examines the form of the novel, and regional and other aspects of this particular work, especially as they relate to the postmodern concern with fragmentation and conditional identity. Wafer confronts in the novel aspects of his own questionable history, which echo the larger concern with exploitative practices including racism, patriarchy, overplanting and overgrazing, and pollution, which contribute to and climax in the postmodern fragmentation. The novel attempts to make a critique of the exploitative rage of Western civilization. TABLE OF CONTENTS PREFACE: ASLEEP IN THE
