Sommario/riassunto |
|
Bad Attitude/s on Trial is a critical analysis of pornography in the context of contemporary Canada. The notion that pornography both reflects sexual domination and 'victimizes' women has recently found expression in law in the landmark Canadian Supreme Court decision of R. v. Butler (1992). Many feminists embrace this new law as progressive, but in the post-Butler years, straight, mainstream pornography is still flourishing, while sexual representations that challenge conventional notions of sexuality, such as those centering on gay and lesbian sex and s/m sex, are the focus of censorship. It is the censorship of sexual others that the authors critique from a legal, cultural, gay, and philosophical standpoint.Lise Gotell examines the intervention of the Women's Legal Education and Action Fund (LEAF) in |

the Butler decision and provides an overview of socio-legal debates on pornography and censorship. Brenda Cossman examines the Butler decision itself and challenges the dominant reading of this case as a feminist victory. Becki Ross critically examines the expert testimony she delivered in defense of Bad Attitude, an American lesbian sex magazine seized by police from Glad Day Bookshop in Toronto in 1992. She details the difficulties she encountered in explicating and contextualizing the specificities, nuances, and complexities of lesbian s/m fantasy in a court of law. In the final chapter, Shannon Bell advances a conception of pornography that is not distinguishable from philosophy, using philosophy to make pornography.Bad Attitude/s on Trial provides a new debate on pornography and feminism. It will be of particular interest to students of both women's, and gay and lesbian issues, but will also be relevant for scholars of law, political science, and philosophy, as well as for anyone interested in a different, provocative view of the Butler decision. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Das vorliegende Buch stellt einen Versuch dar, die Lücke in der Geschichte des Sumerischen zu schließen, die bislang zwischen den umfangreichen, gut untersuchten Textcorpora des späten dritten und frühen zweiten Jahrtausends v. Chr. und den relativ wenigen Vorkommen von Sumerisch im ersten Jahrtausend v. Chr. bestand. Untersucht werden zum einen – unter Heranziehung neuen Textmaterials aus dem Vorderasiatischen Museum Berlin – die Schreiberausbildung im kassitenzeitlichen Babylonien allgemein, zum anderen sprachliche Besonderheiten, Verwendungskontexte und ideologische Bedeutung des Sumerischen in jener Epoche. Obwohl es sich auf den ersten Blick um unterschiedliche Themen zu handeln scheint, besteht eine Verbindung zwischen ihnen, stellt doch die Schreiberausbildung die wichtigste Quelle dar, die den Verfassern sumerischer Texte in einer Zeit, in der es keine sumerischen Muttersprachler mehr gab, für ihre Kenntnis jener Sprache zur Verfügung stand. Die Analyse und der Vergleich mit den vorhergehenden und nachfolgenden Epochen erlauben es, Entwicklungslinien und regionale Tendenzen nachzuvollziehen; sie zeigen aber auch, dass es nicht einfach ist, kassitenzeitliches Sumerisch als Sprache zu beschreiben oder gar seine „Qualität" zu bewerten. |
The present work attempts to close a gap in our knowledge of the history of Sumerian between the extensive and well-understood corpus of texts from the late 3rd to early 2nd millennia B.C.E. and the sparsely-attested Sumerian of the 1st millennium BCE. Consulting new textual materials from the Vorderasiatisches Museum of Berlin, this investigation devotes special attention to key linguistic features of Sumerian in this epoch, the contexts and ideological significance of its use, and scribal education in Kassite Babylonia generally. Although it may seem to handle disparate themes at first glance, these topics are in fact linked since scribal education provided the key source for knowledge of Sumerian in a time when there were no longer native Sumerian speakers. The analysis and the comparison with previous and subsequent epochs provided here allow lines of development and regional trends to come into clearer view, but they also show the inherent difficulty in describing Kassite Sumerian as a language and in assessing its quality. |
