Kasvinsky, Dean, School of Graduate Studies and Research Date © A. Murray 2011 ABSTRACT This thesis explores the universal journey of self discovery against the specific backdrop of the south coast of England where the narrator, an American woman in her early twenties, lives and works as a barmaid with her female travel companion. Aside from outlining the journey from outsider to insider within a particular cultural context, the thesis seeks to understand the implications of a defining friendship that ultimately fails, the ways a young life is shaped through travel and loss, and the sacrifices a person makes when choosing a place to call home. The thesis follows the narrator from her initial departure for England at the age of twenty-two through to her final return to Ohio at the age of twenty-seven, during which time the friendship with the travel companion is dissolved and the narrator becomes a wife and a mother.

For much of that time, official policy remained disconnected from the reality of experiences for those subjected to the detention regime. However, once detention policy changed into its current form, disparities between policy and reality virtually disappeared. This work argues that since its inception in the late nineteenth century to its present manifestations, noncitizen detention policy transformed from a form of exclusion to a method of state-sponsored violence. A new periodization based on detention policy refocuses immigration enforcement into three eras: exclusion, humane, and violent. When official policy became state violence, the regime synchronized with noncitizen experiences in detention marked by pain, suffering, isolation, hopelessness, and death. This violent policy followed the era of humane detentions. From 1954 to 1981, during a time of supposedly benevolent national policies premised on a narrative against de facto detentions, Arizona, and the broader Southwest, continued to detain noncitizens while collecting revenue for housing such federal prisoners. Over time increasing detentions contributed to overcrowding.

  • Digital Copyright & the Alternatives
    Digital Copyright & The Alternatives An Interdisciplinary Inquiry Peter Daniel Eckersley April 2011, revised January 2012 Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Computer Science & Software Engineering and Intellectual Property Research Institute of Australia The University of Melbourne 2 Abstract This thesis compares the existing institution of digital copyright to possible alterna- tives. Four policy regimes are considered: (1) the status quo ‘weak copyright’ regime, in which exclusive rights and piracy exist in parallel and are both economically sig- nificant; (2) a ‘strong copyright’ regime, in which Digital Rights Management (DRM) technologies and other forms of enforcement prevent piracy from being economically significant; (3) an ‘information anarchy’ regime, in which copyright is not a mean- ingful restraint on non-commercial copying and sharing of works; and (4) a ‘virtual market’ regime, in which file sharing is legalised, and public funding is used to pay artists and authors, based on decentralised measures of the the popularity and value produced by each copyright work (download counts, usage measurements, or voting). These regimes are studied for their technical feasibility, and compared for ethical and economic desirability. Different regimes may prevail at different times, and in different places and industry sectors, even if copyright law is the same. All of the regimes are feasible in at least some cases, but their practicality and relative merit turns out to vary surprisingly across copyright-based industries. The normative criteria that are applied include the levels of artificial scarcity that the regimes impose on information goods; the financial incentives they offer to infor- mation producers; the kinds of transaction costs they involve; the price of their tech- nological and non-technological infrastructure; and, in the case of the virtual market, the taxation overheads that it would imply.
