Algorithmic profiling technologies are impeding the economic security of low-income people in the United States. Based on their digital profiles, low- income people are targeted for predatory marketing campaigns and financial products. At the same time, algorithmic decision-making can result in their exclusion from mainstream employment, housing, financial, health care, and educational opportunities. Government agencies are turning to algorithms to apportion social services, yet these algorithms lack transparency, leaving thousands of people adrift without state support and not knowing why. Marginalized communities are also subject to disproportionately high levels of surveillance, including facial recognition technology and the use of predictive policing software.American privacy law is no bulwark against these profiling harms, instead placing the onus of protecting personal data on individuals while leaving government and businesses largely free to collect, analyze, share, and sell personal data. By contrast, in the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives EU residents numerous, enforceable rights to control their personal data. Spurred in part by the GDPR, Congress is debating whether to adopt comprehensive privacy legislation in the United States. This article contends that the GDPR contains several provisions that have the potential to limit digital discrimination against the poor, while enhancing their economic stability and mobility. The GDPR provides the following: (1) the right to an explanation about automated decision-making; (2) the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated profiling; (3) the right to be forgotten; (4) opportunities for public participation in data processing programs; and (5) robust implementation and enforcement tools. The interests of low-income people must be part of privacy lawmaking, and the GDPR is a useful template for thinking about how to meet their data privacy needs
This dissertation examines free people of color and the economic and social lconditions they shared with neighboring common-class whites from 1790 to 1860 in rural portions of South Carolina. Though Ira Berlin’s Slaves Without Masters has accurately described free blacks’ liminal legal, social and economic statuses, self-sufficient free black farmers signaled that their actual positions in the countryside were sometimes more complicated. Based on a careful study of free black farm production in three rural Charleston parishes as well as Abbeville, Newberry, and Sumter Counties, this dissertation examines free black farm production, their economic status, and the ways that economic stability cultivated important, yet often fragile and contingent, social advantages for free black farmers. Indeed, while not a majority among the free blacks in rural South Carolina, free black farmers’ economic achievements and complex social statuses challenged the ties between color and slavery and rendered them more than simply slaves without masters
Humans have invented such a variety of monsters to populate tales and nightmares that a
comprehensive study of them all would be the work of a lifetime. And even if one were to pin
down one particular breed, as I have done in this study with the dragon, the manifestations of
the myth are so varied that a single dissertation is hardly enough to cover them all. There is an
enormous quantity of dragon-related tales and traditions and this is a myth that is found in most
cultures in the world, as well as in practically all periods of history.
This study analyzes some of the most relevant examples found in the geographical context of
the British Isles. A thorough examination of literary texts, legends and traditions provides the
researcher with a series of elements that are common to the majority of the stories, and which
help to understand the creative process of the myth and its impact on the social context where it
is produced. Therefore, it is apparent that the myth of the dragon must first have appeared as an
agent of fertility, as well as a symbol of the passage to the underworld and, as such, it developed
a number of features that enhanced this symbolism: the serpent-like appearance, the
subterranean realm, the presence of water or the hoard of gold are but four characteristics that
feature prominently in most dragon tales and which may be explained on these terms.
During the Middle Ages, the customary episode including the dragon was the conflict in which
a hero had to save a maiden, a community, or both, from the threat of the monster. During this
period, the usual traditional elements were still present, but the focus of the story had shifted to
the hero and his plight, whereas the dragon became the necessary agent for the hero to vanquish
and achieve his glory. This heroic agenda continued well until the 19th century and some 20th-
century works still resort to this well-known structure.
However, the 20th century, especially the second half of the century, was witness to a revolution
in the treatment of the myth and some of the most striking variations started to take place:
heroes became extremely reluctant to fight their dragons, maidens spoke up and stepped into
heroic roles and some dragons developed a pacifistic streak not at all in accord with what
tradition dictates. This, as it also happens in other periods of history, is but a reflection of the
needs and values of the social community that creates these stories.
In conclusion, it is possible to trace the dragon in practically any historical period and there are
a series of elements that will always feature in these tales. However, while these elements
usually stay the same, their meaning changes, and so does the value of these stories in the
particular social context in which they are produced. And yet, even in spite of all the changes
that each human era has brought about, one feature has never varied, and that is the endless
fascination that these creatures inspire. This is in itself sufficient reason to study the dragon
This thesis offers a critical edition of The Plowman's Tale, a poem in the Chaucer apocrypha, which was last edited by W.W. Skeat in 1897. A full collation of all extant editions - both manuscript and printed - has led the present editor to select the text printed by Thomas Godfray in 1535, the earliest printed edition, as the base text for the present edition. The text is accompanied by a commentary and a glossary. The introductory chapters are concerned to relate the poem to its two most meaningful literary contexts. It is argued that almost all of the poem is a characteristic product of the Lollard movement at the end of the fourteenth century, but that by the addition of a Prologue at some time early in the sixteenth century, the anonymous verse tract came to be associated with Chaucer, as it took on its new role as a work of official Henrician propaganda after 1535
More recently, there has been in some quarters a theological move away from the Penal Substitution model of atonement primarily due to the concerns it raises about God’s character. This is paralleled by a desire to replace it with a less violent approach to soteriology, with the concomitant representation of a less coercive God. This thesis addresses the biblical manifestations of divine violence across both Testaments in order to present God as one for whom violence is an extrinsic, accommodated function. Divine violence is particularly manifested soteriologically, finding its fullest expression, therefore, in the atonement. The Christus Victor Model is offered as the one best able to explicate and accommodate this divine violence. The main atonement models are assessed, revealing how each has sought to engage with, or deny, divine violence.
Firstly, God and violence are explored in order to provide an ideological, linguistic and epistemological foundation for understanding what violence is. Biblical examples of violence are then examined including both Testaments along with consideration of the Satan and the demonic realm; showing how God utilises violence in order to overcome these ontological enemies. Various atonement models are then examined, followed by a consideration of metaphor in the context of soteriology and God. Key scholars addressing violence are then assessed, followed by a section on the primacy of the Christus Victor atonement model; it is then presented as the only one which can fully incorporate the concomitant issues of God’s character, divine violence and an actual, evil enemy seeking to confound both God and His purposes. Further, the Christus Victor model is presented as the only one which is ontological, expressing a view of the atonement that both acknowledges God’s incontrovertible use and endorsement of extrinsic violence as well as the need to overcome an actual enemy in the Satan
Intended as a memorial to Captain Joseph Fry (born Tampa Bay, Fl., June 14,1826), this volume begins with his biography, tracing his life and career during and after the American Civil War. It then details the confiscation of Fry\u27s ship, the Virginius, in 1873, for running arms to Cuba during its insurrection against Spain, an event which brought about Captain Fry\u27s subsequent execution. The narrative continues with an account of the U.S. reaction to Spain\u27s seizure of the ship, and its eventual return to the United States. Includes the text of letters and articles written during the events, as well as those written in tribute to Captain Fry after his death.https://stars.library.ucf.edu/floridaheritage/1110/thumbnail.jp
The night sky provided ancient peoples with a visible framework through which they could view and experience the divine. Ancient astronomers looked to the night sky for practical reasons, such as the construction of calendars by which time could evenly be divided, and for prognosis, such as the foretelling of future events based on the movements of the planets and stars. While scholars have written much about the Greco-Roman understanding of the night sky, few studies exist that examine Jewish cosmological thought in relation to the appearance of the Late Roman-Byzantine synagogue Helios-zodiac cycle. This dissertation surveys the ways that ancient Jews experienced the night sky, including literature of the Second Temple (sixth century BCE – 70 CE), rabbinic and mystical writings, and Helios-zodiac cycles in synagogues of ancient Palestine. I argue that Judaism joined an evolving Greco-Roman cosmology with ancient Jewish traditions as a means of producing knowledge of the earthly and heavenly realms.Doctor of Philosoph
