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
Robert Bridges' Masque Demeter and Oxford's Persephones
No full textThis essay takes as its focus Robert Bridges’ masque Demeter and its first performance in 1904 by the women students of Somerville, Oxford as part of the official opening ceremony for their new Library. It considers how Bridges’ elegant retelling of the myth of Persephone— which draws on the Homeric Hymn to Demeter—provides an appropriate allegory of wisdom and maturation and a suggestive commentary on how the higher education of women at this time was understood to prepare them for their future roles in society. The paper also shows how the occasion as a whole raised the profile of this all-female hall amongst the overwhelmingly male colleges and University of Oxford. Women students were very far from being on an equal footing with their male coevals at this time, not only in terms of educational status but also in terms of recreational opportunities. The performance of Demeter, however, set a firm precedent for dramatic performance within women’s halls. The paper describes how, soon after the performance, women scholars of Somerville contributed to the more decorative aspects of the Oxford University Dramatic Society’s Greek play productions from 1905; and how the classicist Gilbert Murray—who was actively involved in the education of women at Oxford, enjoying a long and special relationship with Somerville in particular—vigorously and practically encouraged the performance of Greek plays in translation and adaptation in the women’s halls

Approches croisées de l’agrobiodiversité animale et végétale exploitée en Méditerranée nord-occidentale médiévale : le projet DEMETER
No full textInternational audienceLa domestication des plantes et des animaux marque une transition majeure dans l'histoire humaine et constitue un élément clé du développement des sociétés modernes. Les races et variétés domestiques locales et traditionnelles sont en effet le résultat de millénaires de sélection par les agriculteurs. Cependant, nous vivons aujourd'hui une crise majeure, avec une perte drastique de la diversité des systèmes de production alimentaire et la disparition progressive des pratiques traditionnelles. La sauvegarde de la diversité des espèces, des variétés et des races cultivées est ainsi menacée. Dans ce contexte, l'objectif du projet ERC DEMETER est de retracer comment, au cours des huit derniers millénaires, les sociétés ont influencé l'évolution des espèces domestiques sous différents régimes agricoles, environnementaux et socio-économiques, en se concentrant principalement sur le bassin nord-ouest de la Méditerranée (France méditerranéenne, Catalogne). Au cœur du projet, le Moyen Âge occupe une place importante. Il s’agit en effet d’une période qui connait des changements importants, tant du point de vue socio-économique (évolutions multiples de l’occupation et de la gestion des campagnes, vagues migratoires, essor démographique, urbanisation galopante) que climatique (optimum, péjoration), ayant eu des conséquences, documentées par l’archéologie, sur les productions et pratiques agropastorales. Elle constitue également une des dernières phases précédant l’intensification des sélections par l’homme, qui se produit au cours de la période contemporaine.Pour la période médiévale, la zone géographique investie par le projet a été particulièrement bien documentée par la carpologie et l’archéozoologie au cours des dernières décennies, en raison notamment de l’essor de l’archéologie préventive et d’une sensibilisation des opérateurs aux problématiques et méthodes de la bioarchéologie. La quantité de sites et d’échantillons disponibles est ainsi remarquable par rapport aux périodes pré- et protohistoriques. Notre approche ciblée sur certains taxons (cochon, mouton, chèvre, orge) nous permet de qualifier la diversité ancienne de ces espèces domestiques, et d’appréhender en finesse leur évolution au cours du temps. Pour qualifier cette diversité et ses évolutions, le projet s'appuie sur une combinaison d'approches incluant la phénomique (par la morphométrie géométrique), les bases de données, l'archéozoologie, la carpologie, la modélisation climatique, les paléoprotéines (ZooMs) et les analyses statistiques. Dans le cadre de cette présentation, nous aborderons en particulier l’émerge des races et variétés actuelles, ainsi que les liens possibles entre l’agrobiodiversité médiévale et l’actuelle
