- 181: Hamlet: Tragedy of Failure
- ... Booth to Laurence Olivier to Mel Gibson, have played the role? Published in 1604, it is still being read, studied and performed worldwide. "Hamlet" is the champion of English dramatic literature. Notwithstanding the preponderance of literature explaining, if not justifying, Hamlet's delay in killing Claudius, it is still possible to conclude that Hamlet had no reason to delay. He might, indeed, have swept to his ... Grammaticus, for that matter-the play must still be comprehensible. But it isn't. Instead, the play contains an unanswered question of such monumental importance that a huge corpus of literature has been devoted to nothing but answering it-and has failed. Is there something lacking in our comprehension? Have we not done requisite historical research? Or having done our ...
- 182: Pornography
- ... in the areas of criminal and tort law. I suggest that Ontario courts already have the basis for a framework of social harm in the federal statutory provisions on hate literature, and in the principles which can be adopted from the Bhadauria case. The Criminal Code in sections 318 and 319 prohibits the advocating or promoting of genocide and the incitement ... the Charter. Thus, it is considered to be coherent in Canadian criminal law for a somewhat intangible social harm to have been suffered by a group through the publication of literature, and for a remedy to be appropriate. There are problems with this kind of legal protection from social harm if MacKinnon and Cole's assumptions about the legal system are accepted. The sections may take effect only on the initiative of the Attorney General; it is this feature which led to charges against Ernst Zundel [for the publication of literature denying the holocaust and claiming the existence of a Zionist conspiracy] being laid by Jewish activist groups under s.181 of the Code. Thus, Cole's claim that legal ...

- ... writer, but rather for her ability to bring forth her cultural language and imagery. If not for Zora's pioneering effort as a female black writer, the world of modern literature would have never seen the cultural insights of the African American culture in such a candid way. Zora's date of birth is said to be in January of 1891 ... short stories. Zora's true career began in the famed Harlem Renaissance of the 1930's. This was a period in which African American culture was formally introduced into modern literature (Lyons 35-7). In hopes of continuing her expeditions as a folklorist Zora needed to seek financial assistance. Thus, she encountered Mrs. Rufus Osgood Mason, a wealthy "white patronage" (Lyons ... Neale Hurston "a genius of the south" was the author of seven books and over one hundred short stories, plays, essays, and articles (Lyons IX). Zora's first attempt at literature was a poem, when she was eight years old (Lyons 2). In 1921 her literary career truly began in a formal fashion as she published her first story: John ...
- 184: Censorship
- ... But it is rather vague. It doesn't differentiate between "ordinary obscenity" and "hard-core pornography." The first denoting the ordinary run of "girlie magazines and the second denoting pictures , literature and so on that deal with rape, sadism, masochism, bestiality, necrophilia and other perversions. People tend to object far more to "hard-core pornography." Another distinction unfortunately overlooked by our criminal law is the distinction between isolated instances of obscenity and the products of vast commercial enterprise. There has been an increasing trend towards children's literature that reflects a more realistic approach to the life both fiction and non-fiction, with subjects that include sex, homosexuality, divorce, child abuse, drugs, violence, etc. And they are these ... sources, from television and other forms of media, their environment at home and school, their personality and their background. Why they read does not necessarily mean that they will follow. Literature is a valued source of knowledge for these children, and should not be held back. So rather than applying full censorship, it should be made an age- related censorship. ...

MUD, and suggests a possible classification system for MUD nonverbal communication, including conventional actions, backchannels, byplay, narration, and exposition. Michael Holmes is another scholar who has recently contributed to the literature on MUDs. His (1994) study of MUD environments as compared to Internet Relay Chat (and other similar "chat" utilities) concluded that the chat services "supply a stark context for conversation ... conversations. As the number and extent of the uses of computer mediated communication (CMC) have grown exponentially in the last two decades, the communication discipline has produced a body of literature examining the interpersonal effects of such interaction. Some such studies purport that CMC is necessarily task-oriented, impersonal, and inappropriate for interpersonal uses (see Dubrovsky, Kiesler, & Sethna, 1991, Dubrovsky, ...
