Thank you for your interest in the work of Stopline! Now that another year of intensive and dedicated work has passed, we would like to take the opportunity of informing you again in this annual report about the activity of the Stopline as well as the improvements since the publication of the annual report 2001. At the beginning of this annual report we would like to point out that the reports to the Stopline have signicantly increased during the last year. In our opinion, this especially reects the increasing importance of the internet as well as the increasing sensibility of its users. However, it also reects the strong name recognition of the Stopline - this makes us proud, although most the reports have a sad background. The year 2002 has not brought general innovations in the Stopline‘s basic tasks. Nevertheless, we would like to inform you about the minor changes as well as the topical events. At this point I would like to take the opportunity - in the name of all Stopline staff members and advisory board members - of expressing my gratitude to you and to all

  • Rethinking the Liberal Legacy
    56 I Allan Janik 72. Gerhard Ostreich has laid the foundations of such a study in the essays collected in Geist und Gestalt desfriihmodernen Staats (Berlin, 1%9) and Strukturprobleme der Neuzeit; ed. G. Osrreich (Berlin, 1980). I have benefited from conversations with Raoul Kneucker and Waltraud Heindl on this subject. 73. Erna Lesky, The Vienna Medical School of the Nineteenth Century, trans. J. Levij (Bal- timore, 1976). 74. Richard Hofstadter, Anti-Intellectualism in American Life (New York, 1%7). Like Dahrendorf's study of society and democracy in Germany, Hofstadrer's well-docu- Chapter2 mented book claims to be an exercise in civil courage more than an academic study. If they are accurate in describing their work, the importance of both of these books ought to tell us something about standard "academic" priorities. One important re- minder to American students of Austrian culture implicit in Hofsradrer's work is the closeness of American and Austrian forms of political fundamentalism. Schorske RETHINKING THE LIBERAL LEGACY himself has pointed out how the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was a model to Schonerer (Schorske, Fin-de-Siecle Vienna, 129), whereas Pauley has indicated that the quotas on Jewish students that Viennese antisemites demanded in the 1930s ~ were already in effect at American elite institutions like Harvard (Pauley, From Prej- udice to Persecution, 94, 128). Pieter M Judson na review of Carl Schorske's influential Fin-de-Siecle Vienna: Politics Iand Culture two decades ago, John Boyer noted the "uneven mono- graphic base" from which Schorske had drawn his portrayal of Austria's liberals.

  • ECPAT International to the Council of Europe Lanzarote Committee
    Submission on behalf of ECPAT International to the Council of Europe Lanzarote Committee General overview questionnaire on the implementation of the Lanzarote Convention January 2014 1 ECPAT International ECPAT international is a global network of civil society organisations, represented by 81 member groups in 74 countries. ECPAT International was the primary impetus behind the three World Congresses against the commercial sexual exploitation of children (Stockholm, Sweden – 1996; Yokohama, Japan – 2001; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – 2008), encouraging the world community to ensure that children everywhere enjoy their fundamental rights, free from all forms of commercial sexual exploitation. Through collaborative efforts, ECPAT encourages governments to adopt measures to strengthen their child protection policies in compliance with international child-rights standards and their international obligations. This includes advocating for policy changes to address gaps in legislation; formulation of national plans of action; creation of effective bilateral and multi-lateral agreements; and advocating for States to commit to the ratification of international treaties to protect children, such as the Optional Protocol on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography. ECPAT International has special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the UN (ECOSOC) and has received international recognition for its achievements, including the 2013 Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize. Collaboration with the private sector, as highlighted by the Stop Sex Trafficking of Children and Young People campaign, in partnership with The Body Shop, has drawn considerable recognition for ECPAT, including the praise of former US President Bill Clinton. The Campaign also led to one of the largest human rights petitions ever presented to the UN Human Rights Council in September 2011 (more than 7.2 million signatures), cementing ECPAT International’s reputation as a global leader in influencing social change.

  • Instrumentalisation and Objectification of Human Sexuality
    Remigiusz ROSICKI Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu Instrumentalisation and Objectification of Human Sexuality Overstepping limits abloidisation is to be an accessible and simplified picture of reality, Twhich is also controversial and vulgar, overstepping the limits of the intimate. In this sense tabloidisation would mean both primitivisation of the message as well as transmission shock. It is problematic which ele- ment would be dominant and affect the categorisation of individual mes- sages. Tabloid message feeds mainly on emotions, which indicates the development of mass media in the “hot media” direction1. It should be noted that the human body and its sexuality, due to the cultural context, can be a subject of tabloid news. Intensification of the shock, vulgarity and overstepping the limits of the intimate are of crucial importance, which means that in the content there is a merger of violence, the body and sexuality. In the rapid development of the information and communication technologies body, sexuality and violence related content is becoming increasingly available; it long ago moved from the textuality level onto the level of visual communication2. If you enter a keyword into Google search-engine, the results are as follows: sex – 3.2 billion results, sex as graphics – 4.1 billion, BDSM – 183 million, the same as a graphics BDSM – 14.3 million3.

  • Patreon and Porn Games: Crowdfunding Games, Reward Categories and Backstage Passes
    Patreon and Porn Games: Crowdfunding Games, Reward Categories and Backstage Passes Petri Lankoski Södertörn University 14189 Huddinge, Sweden [email protected] Mikolaj Dymek Södertörn University 14189 Huddinge, Sweden [email protected] ABSTRACT Patreon is a crowdfunding platform where pornographic games are funded; even the most successful game developer in terms of the number of members is developing a pornographic game. We looked at 42 developers and their Patreon pages in order to examine the effects of the Patreon crowdfunding model on videogame development. Especially we studied memBership rewards. As a result, developers were not only selling the game, But rewards we much aBout Community, Influence, and Recognition. Regulating Content Access is used regularly But often the latest version of the game is made availaBle to everyBody, just later to the members funding the development. We propose that certain rewards are similar to backstage passes in the music business and suggest that Patron pornographic games funding deviates from the crowdfunding model is not following mainly product-oriented commodity logic but a more community-oriented concept. Keywords Patreon, pornography, porgraphic games, crowdfunding, rewards INTRODUCTION Crowdfunding is a recent fundraising tool (see, Macht and Weatherston 2014). Several crowdfunding platforms have surfaced in recent years. Notably, some low entry selling platforms, such as itch.io exists along with more established digital distribution platforms such as Steam. According to Smith (2015), crowdfunding has become an important venue for funding game development projects. Kickstarter and Indiegogo are some of the prominent crowdfunding platforms for games. Developers usually set a minimum funding goal needed for the project realisation, and a deadline.

  • Cfp: Sexuality, Eroticism, and Gender in Austrian Literature and Culture
    CfP: Sexuality, Eroticism, and Gender in Austrian Literature and Culture Annual Conference of the Modern Austrian Literature and Culture Association, April 13-15, 2007, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada In the early 20th century, the metropolis of Vienna was a major hub of artistic and cultural activity in Central Europe, where also a diversity of influential discourses on sexuality and gender contended and flourished. This is evident in the portrayal of problematic sexual relationships in fin-de-siècle literature, e.g. in the works of Arthur Schnitzler and Peter Altenberg, Karl Kraus’s Sittlichkeit und Kriminalität or Otto Weininger’s Geschlecht und Charakter, in the beginnings of academic sexology (Sigmund Freud, Friedrich Salomon Krauss, and others), in the activities of Rosa Mayreder and the early women’s movement, in the eroticism of the art works of Gustav Klimt, and Egon Schiele, or in Alfred Kubin’s grotesque fusion of eros and thanatos in his early graphic pieces, and last but not least in the popular novel of the time (Josefine Mutzenbacher; Hugo Bettauer). Early stages of this interest in sexuality as a literary topic are already noticeable in the second half of the 19th century – for example in the works of Leopold von Sacher- Masoch or Hans Makart – as they were anteceded by the erotic culture of Josephinism in the late 18th century. However, the themes of sexuality, eroticism, and gender resurface in the literature and culture of the Second Republic: e.g. in the “happenings” of Viennese Aktionismus, the OrgienMysterienTheater of Hermann Nitsch, and the video works of Valie Export, in the feminist discourse in Austrian literature from Ingeborg Bachmann to Marlen Haushofer, Elisabeth Reichardt, and Elfriede Jelinek, in the beginnings of an autobiographically based queer writing (e.g.
