The dissolving jail-break in Margaret Avison

Margaret Avison\u27s most concise statement on the faculty of imaginative vision appears in the early and darker stages of her mature career, in her most controversial poem; the thought embodied by this statement, however, flows through most of her poetry in various channels, undergoing various transformations. Nobody stuffs the world in at your eyes.The optic heart must venture: a jail-break and re-creation. The central principles here — the equation of seeing with being; the bursting of generally-accepted boundaries of perception; and the imagination\u27s re-creation of the world of experience — are fairly general and underlie equally the intellectual twists and questions of some poems and the celebratory imagism of others. More particularly, however, the venture/jail-break/re-creation pattern repeats itself through Avison\u27s work, changing significantly as it does so: venture and jail-break dominate the earlier poems, often in a pattern of challenge and questioning; in the later poetry, however, altered perception is not overtly proclaimed or examined so much as it is enacted and celebrated. In the imaginative and religious re-creation taking place, the venture and jail-break themselves are radically transformed, dissolving together into an opening-out ( The Bible to be Believed, sunblue, p. 57)

Politique institutionnelle de libération : identification des individus dangereux. Une revue de la littérature

Follow-up studies of the physical dangerousness of men released from correctional institutions, mental hospitals and special security psychiatric institutions have indicated that we cannot as yet predict with an acceptable degree of accuracy which men will be dangerous upon release. Because of the methodological and conceptual weaknesses of these predictive studies and their lack of success, as well as the practical difficulties which would arise from not attempting to select nondangerous men for release, a new approach to the problem of prediction is required. Such an approach might profitably make predictions according to how different sorts of offenders respond to various situations. Theories taking into account the interactions between persons and their environment may in future allow tolerably accurate predictions of future assaultive behavior under certain circumscribed conditions

Broken Boundaries: Women and Feminism in Restoration Drama

This volume of twelve original essays is the first comprehensive study of feminist issues in Restoration drama. The late seventeenth century marks a pivotal era in the history of feminism, when Renaissance assumptions about gender and patriarchy were being directly challenged. For the first time, women appeared onstage as actresses, made their presence felt as spectators and patrons, and wrote a number of the plays produced in theaters. Ina n unusually direct and probing way, drama of the Restoration period raised radical questions about the place of women in the family and in society, and about the essential nature of men and women. The essays examine feminist issues from a variety of historical and theoretical approaches across a spectrum of plays—comedies, tragedies, tragicomedies, and heroic drama. By addressing the acute questions of gender raised in the drama, Broken Boundaries presents a vivid portrait of the uncertainties and changing perceptions in all areas of intellectual, political, and social life during the last decades of the seventeenth century. A welcome collection of scholarly essays and fascinating illustrations that will surely enrich our understanding of late seventeenth-century theater. -- 1650-1850 Charts the way in which constructions of femininity in the late seventeenth century are reflected in and shaped by Restoration drama. -- British Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies An important addition to collections of feminist literary criticism and Restoration cultural studies. -- Choice An interesting and diverse range of articles that not only cover a variety of topics but are also written from several differing critical standpoints. -- Eighteenth Century The essays in this volume include work by established scholars in the field who take a variety of positions regarding Restoration drama, all providing a perspective on the relationship between gender and the stage in the period. -- English Studies in Canada The first collection devoted entirely to this subject. -- Year\u27s Work in English Studieshttps://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_english_language_and_literature_british_isles/1004/thumbnail.jp

Abnormal attentions towards the British Royal Family. Factors associated with approach and escalation

Abnormal approach and escalation from communication to physical intrusion are central concerns in managing risk to prominent people. This study was a retrospective analysis of police files of those who have shown abnormal attentions toward the British Royal Family. Approach (n = 222), compared with communication only (n = 53), was significantly associated with specific factors, most notably serious mental illness and grandiosity. In a sample of those who engaged in abnormal communication (n = 132), those who approached (n = 79) were significantly more likely to evidence mental illness and grandiosity, to use multiple communications, to employ multiple means of communication, and to be driven by motivations that concerned a personal entitlement to the prominent individual. Logistic regression produced a model comprising grandiosity, multiple communications, and multiple means of communication, for which receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis gave an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.82. The implications of these findings are discussed in relation to those for other target groups
