CONFUSION IN CANADA IN CARTER JOHN KEOWN* In Carter v. Canada (Attorney General), Justice Lynn Smith held that the Canadian Criminal Code’s prohibitions on murder and assisting suicide infringe Sections 7 and 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to the extent that those prohibitions outlaw voluntary, active euthanasia and physi- cian-assisted suicide. This Article suggests the judgment is defective in at least four key respects: misunderstanding the principle of the inviolability of human life; concluding that laws against assisting suicide discriminate against those physically incapable of committing suicide; evading the logical “slippery slope” argument; and (as the Irish High Court has since concluded in Fleming v.

    02-Goode-45291.qxd 7/2/2007 12:21 PM Page 33 PART 2 BELIEVING THAT ONE HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED BY EXTRATERRESTRIALS 33 02-Goode-45291.qxd 7/2/2007 12:21 PM Page 34 BEING ABDUCTED BY ALIENS AS A DEVIANT BELIEF An Introduction married man claims to have two children with an alien being.“I know they’re out there, A and they know who I am.”His wife is “confused, angry, and alienated.”All of a sudden, she says,her husband “goes from being a normal guy...to being...well...kind ofnutty, I guess.I don’t believe him,but I don’t disbelieve him either....Would things have been dif- ferent if we’d been able to have kids?”she asks herself.“Basically,I deal with it by trying not to think about it too much”(Clancy, 2005, p. 2). The first widely publicized account of an extraterrestrial kidnapping was reported in the 1960s by Betty and Barney Hill. By the 1990s, a public opinion poll, conducted by the Roper organization, indicated that 3.7 million Americans believe that they have been abducted by space aliens (Hopkins, Jacobs, & Westrum, 1991). In the 1990s, Harvard psychiatrist John Mack (1995) lent academic respectability to such reports by arguing that he believed these claims to be true. The accounts, ranging from the look of the creatures to what they do with abductees, have by now become so standardized as to be eerily predictable. What makes the claim of having been kidnapped by aliens a form of deviance? Mack’s (1995) support of such claims produced stunned incredulity in his colleagues.

  • Haunted Detectives: the Mysteries of American Trauma
    HAUNTED DETECTIVES: THE MYSTERIES OF AMERICAN TRAUMA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brian R. Hauser, B.A., M.A. The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Jared Gardner, Adviser Professor James Phelan ____________________________________ Professor Linda Mizejewski Adviser English Graduate Program Copyright by Brian R. Hauser 2008 ABSTRACT In this dissertation, I investigate American motion picture narratives from the 1990s in which detectives encounter the supernatural. These narratives did not originate during this decade, but there were a remarkable number of them compared to previous periods. I argue that the supernatural is often analogous to personal, national, or cultural trauma. I further suggest that a detective investigating the supernatural stands in for the psychoanalyst, who studies and treats this trauma. I then trace the origins of the supernatural detective in history, as well as in British and American popular fiction. To begin, I discuss Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow (1999) as an example of a supernatural detective, who is himself traumatized but who also manages to solve the supernatural mystery in the eponymous village. That solution points to the obscured narrative of women’s rights in the early-American republic. Next, I suggest that spaces can be traumatized like people. I introduce the concept of the chronotope of the traumatized space, which I then apply to Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House (1959) and its various film and television adaptations to argue that these influential haunted house tales have helped repress scientific research into the paranormal as a reputable field of inquiry and the paranormal researcher as an admirable calling.

  • Robin Cook's Abduction
    Robin Cook’s Abduction: Sources of the Novel Alena Kolínská Bachelor Thesis 2013 ABSTRAKT Cílem této bakalářské práce je analýza románu Planeta Interterra (2000) spisovatele Robina Cooka z hlediska intertextuality. Uvede pojem intertextualita a stručně podá názory na vnímání intertextuality. Poté následuje rozbor dané knihy a hledání jejích možných zdrojů, které mohly spisovatele ovlivnit či inspirovat při psaní pro něj netypického románu. Z rozboru knihy vyplývá, že hlavními zdroji byly knihy Utopie (1516) Thomase Mora, Lidé jako bozi (1923) Herberta George Wellse, Konec civilizace: aneb Překrásný nový svět (1932) Aldouse Huxleyho a také řecká mytologie a historie všeobecně. Klíčová slova: Americká literatura; Robin Cook; intertextualita; Planeta Interterra; utopie; dystopie; fikce; dutozemě ABSTRACT The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyze the novel Abduction (2000) by Robin Cook in the view of intertextuality. The term intertextuality is introduced, followed by a brief list of views on intertextuality. Subsequently the novel is analyzed, searching for the possible sources which might have influenced or inspired the author when writing a type of novel not typical for him. The analysis shows that the main sources for the novel were four: Utopia (1516) by Thomas More, Men like Gods (1923) by Herbert George Wells, Brave New World (1932) by Aldous Huxley, and Greek mythology as well as the history itself. Keywords: American literature; Robin Cook; intertextuality; Abduction; utopia; dystopia; fiction; hollow earth ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my supervisor, Mgr. Roman Trušník, Ph.D., for his invaluable advice, patience, guidance and support. I also owe a great thanks to Mgr.

  • American Superhero Comics: Fractal Narrative and the New Deal a Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the College of Arts
    American Superhero Comics: Fractal Narrative and The New Deal A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Lawrence W. Beemer June 2011 © 2011 Lawrence W. Beemer. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled American Superhero Comics: Fractal Narrative and The New Deal by LAWRENCE W. BEEMER has been approved for the English Department of Ohio University and the College of Arts and Sciences by ______________________________ Robert Miklitsch Professor of English ______________________________ Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT BEEMER, LAWRENCE W., Ph.D., June 2011, English American Superhero Comics: Fractal Narrative and The New Deal (204 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Robert Miklitsch Coining the term "fractal narrative," this dissertation examines the complex storytelling structure that is particular to contemporary American superhero comics. Whereas other mediums most often require narrative to function as self-contained and linear, individual superhero comics exist within a vast and intricate continuity that is composed of an indeterminate number of intersecting threads. Identical to fractals, the complex geometry of the narrative structure found in superhero comics when taken as a whole is constructed by the perpetual iteration of a single motif that was established at the genre's point of origin in Action Comics #1. The first appearance of Superman institutes all of the features and rhetorical elements that define the genre, but it also encodes it with the specific ideology of The New Deal era. In order to examine this fractal narrative structure, this dissertation traces historical developments over the last seven decades and offers a close reading Marvel Comics' 2006 cross-over event, Civil War.
