Google Library: Beyond Fair Use?

Last December Google announced the formation of partnerships with select major libraries to begin digitizing and storing the libraries\u27 collections online. Google aims to provide individuals with the ability to search the full text of these books from anywhere using the Google search engine. This project will greatly increase access to those works in the public domain, but what about the books still under copyright protection? This iBrief examines the copyright implications of this ambitious project and concludes that the project, as described, does infringe the rights of copyright holders. It further concludes that while such infringement is unlikely to be found to be a fair use, it may ultimately be in the copyright holders\u27 best interests to acquiesce to Google\u27s infringement

The “Poison’d Cup” and the “Invisible Spirit”: the Significance of Wine in Three Shakespearean Tragedies

Alcohol, feasting and revelry play a major part in most of Shakespeare’s works. The utilisation and consumption of wine merits special focus as a signifier in Shakespeare’s work. Much has been written on the role of wine in his comedies, less so regarding Shakespearean tragedies. This discussion will focus on the significance of wine in three seminal works that were crafted at the end of the Elizabethan era, namely Hamlet, Macbeth and Othello. Beginning with an overview of the role and significance of wine to the plot of each of the plays, the analysis will then move to examine the wider connotations and considerations linked to wine consumption in early modern England

Shaping the “small things of common experience”: Migration and Adaptation in Ashkenazi Food Practices from Alsace to America

This paper demonstrates how some of the most iconic Jewish foods that became signifiers through popular culture in the last century have their origins in Alsace in the early Middle Ages. The historical development of a distinctly Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine will be traced from its roots in the Alsace region of France through its movement to Jewish settlements in Eastern Europe, and later to America with the mass immigration of the 19th and 20th centuries. The aim is to come to an understanding of how perception of what are considered to be some quintessentially Jewish foods has been shaped by developments in Alsace. The relatively unchallenged view of Ashkenazi food from contemporary commentators is that it developed in Eastern Europe, specifically Poland and the former Russian Empire. While aspects of the cuisine were adapted after migration, this paper demonstrates that a number of key dishes in the Ashkenazi tradition can be traced back to the Alsace region of present-day France, a territory of the Germanic Holy Roman Empire in the early medieval period when the Jewish community developed. The findings show that certain key dishes considered to be quintessential to Ashkenazi tradition developed or were adapted in Alsace, migrated to Eastern Europe with members of the Jewish community seeking refuge in the Polish commonwealth, and eventually crossed the Atlantic with further waves of migration.
