No full textThis paper was published as a chapter, under the same title, in the book Exploring Total Institutions, edited by Robert Gordon and Brett Williams, Champaign, Illinois: Stipes, 1977:111-125. The study upon which it is based was conducted in the Spring of 1976,while the authors were undergraduate students in the Department of Anthropology, at Illinois State University (ISU), Normal, Illinois. We would like to thank our teachers, members of the ISU faculty body, particularly Drs. Edward Jelks, Robert Dirks, Martin Nickels, and Brett Williams, who guided us in our studies there, providing an excellent academic environment for our learning. We would also like to give special thanks to the members of the sorority house where the study was conducted, who were not only the subjects of our observations, but also friends.In this article, we will attempt to demonstrate that sororities, like convents, which are voluntary total institutions, thriving on a high degree of self-regulatory changes in the thoughts, manners and attitudes of their members, depend for their success and perpetuation, on the maintenance of a family structure. Unlike other total institutions, sororities do not separate the individual from the intercourse with the outside by locked doors, or the walls of a ‘cloister’. They do so by a process of self and peer regulation, peer pressure, and almost constant demand by the organization for the time of its members.Illinois State University, Illinois, USAChampaign, Illinois, Estados Unidos da Améric

BIOGRAPHICAL / Historical Note: Twentieth-century novelist Caroline Gordon was born into the Kentucky line of the extensive Meriwether family in 1895. Exploration of the family's past and its evolution is a major theme of her fiction. She grew up at Merry Mont in Todd County, near Clarksville where she received her early education. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Bethany College in 1916. Her father is the idealized subject of Gordon's second novel, Alec Maury, Sportsman (1934), and the central character in her much-anthologized story, "Old Red." Gordon taught briefly; then, as a journalist, she became one of the first reviewers to comment favorably on a new Nashville-based magazine of poetry, The Fugitive. During the summer of 1924, Robert Penn Warren, a Todd County neighbor, introduced her to Allen Tate. Within a year they were married and living in New York City, where their daughter, Nancy Meriwether was born. With Tate, she began a period of life abroad, devoted to writing and sustained by various fellowships granted to one or the other. In London, Gordon was secretary to the influential British writer Ford Madox. In 1930 the Tates returned to the United States and settled in Clarksville in a house provided by Tate's brother Ben and called "Benfolly." Both Tates were exceptionally hospitable to friends and encouraging to younger writers. Both were prolific correspondents, generous with constructive criticism. (Gordon eventually became mentor to several writers, most notably Flannery O'Connor). Although she had to wrest time for her writing from domestic and social obligations, the eight Benfolly years were especially productive for Gordon, who published four novels and several stories before 1937. The first novel was Penhally (1931), followed by Alec Maury, Sportsman (1934), None Shall Look Back (1937), and The Garden of Adonis (1937), studies of the southern family during the Civil War and Great Depression. Academic appointments of the 1940s took the Tates throughout the Southeast and to Princeton, where they established a home near their daughter, who married psychiatrist Percy Wood in 1944. During this time Gordon published her fifth novel, Green Centuries (1941). Her second related group of novels, The Woman on the Porch (1944), which deals with a troubled marriage, The Strange Children (1951), based on life at Benfolly, and The Malefactors (1956), is informed by her conversion to Roman Catholicism. She and her husband wrote The House of Fiction (1950), which was followed by Gordon's How to Read a Novel in 1957. Gordon lived in Princeton until 1973, teaching, and writing: The Glory of Hera (1972). An appointment in the creative writing program drew her to the University of Dallas (Gordon was 77 years old when she proposed the new creative writing program at UD). When her health began to fail in 1978, she moved to San Cristobal de las Casas in Chapas, Mexico, with her daughter and family. She died there on April 11, 1981.

The vanishing author in computer-generated works: a critical analysis of recent Australian case law
No full textAbstract
The use of software is ubiquitous in the creation of many copyright works, yet the requirement in copyright law that every work have a human author who engages in independent intellectual effort means that its use may prevent copyright subsistence. Several recent Australian cases have refocused attention on authorship as an essential criterion of copyright subsistence, and these cases suggest that much computer-produced output may be authorless and thus lack copyright protection. This article, the first in a two-part series, analyses how each case deals with the question of authorship of computer-produced works and why the use of software diminishes copyright protection for a significant number of computer-generated works. The article critiques the application of conventional notions of human authorship developed in the pre-computer age to modern productions and suggests alternative approaches to authorship that satisfy both the major objectives of copyright policy and the need to adapt to the computer age. The article argues that, without a broader judicial approach to authorship of computer-generated works, Parliament must remedy the lacuna in protection for these ‘authorless’ works. Possible solutions for reform are suggested. In a forthcoming article, the author comprehensively examines those reform proposals
