Exploring friendships behind prison walls
No full textPositive connections between men in prison are rarely thought about or discussed in academic research. Yet as Crewe (2014),1 Laws and Lieber(2020),2 and Morey and Crewe (2018) highlight,3 considerable intimacy and camaraderie exists between imprisoned men. In this paper, we utilise academic collaborative writing — taking a knowledge equity approach — to examine friendships between imprisoned men. One author with first hand lived experience of prison (Marc)writes about their experiences freely in their own words, in the first person, and creates the wider narrative together with an academic (Donna). We suggest these conditions create a more relaxed and natural position for a person with lived experience sof prison to share them, arguably encouraging openness surrounding sensitive topics like friendships during incarceration, deepening insights. Through this process of co-production, we aim to bridge some of the distance from the conventional space of ‘research participant’towards a more equitable ‘participant author
The construction of scientific knowledge regarding female 'sexual inversion': Italian and British sexology compared, c. 1870-1920
No full textPhDThis thesis uses medical and psychiatric records to explore how physicians analysed `female
sexual inversion' in Italy and Britain, c. 1870 to 1920. It investigates why sexology emerged
when it did and considers the role national, political and cultural debates played in shaping
sexological research. I argue that sexology both upheld and challenged national cultural
norms and sought to address various broader problems that shadowed social and political
debate in these societies. For Italy, detailed case histories of female inverts are presented. In
Britain, however, female homosexuality was observed within other medical concerns because
physicians were reluctant to study sexual inversion until at least the late 1890s. In each
national context close attention is paid to `typical' locations of female homosexuality, for
example asylums, brothels and schools, and to particular figures and relationships; the
`tribade-prostitute', the 'fiamma', and the so-called nymphomaniac.
Italian and British sexologists had different approaches to the study of these women-only
environments, in which female homosexuality was supposedly widespread. By comparing the
debates around female sexual inversion it is possible to chart important and illuminating
differences of language, status and politics. I will highlight the proliferation of these studies
in Italy and the relatively marginal status of British sexologists. Moreover, in Italy criminal
anthropology was critical in shaping sexological studies, while in Britain, political
motivations linked to laws against `sodomy' were crucial. In the central chapters, the works
of Cesare Lombroso and Pasquale Penta in Italy, and Henry Havelock Ellis and William Blair
Bell in Britain, are crucial. Alongside texts explicitly discussing `female sexual inversion' as
a psychiatric disease, the thesis also examines other medical concerns related to female
sexuality. Questions of sexuality and homosexuality were important to wider discussions
about women's role in society, female education, prostitution, and broader debates about
progress, civilisation and national well-being

The Singer or the Song? Developments in Performers' Rights from the Perspective of a Cultural Economist
No full textOver the last century, performers gradually acquired statutory protection of their economic and moral
rights. These rights are not copyright in the legal sense but neighboring rights and until recently, they
were mainly remuneration rights that are collectively administered. With the WPPT (WIPO
Performers and Phonograms Treaty), performers now have individual exclusive rights for digital
performances; this leads to the question: what has motivated this change – is it a change in the
perception of the value of performer or a change brought about by the changing technology of copying or,
indeed, a change that reflects different economic costs and benefits? The paper discusses the role of
copyright law as an incentive to performers and asks if the economic role of the performer is so different
from that of the author. The conclusion is that a complex interaction of the legal regulations, economic
conditions and institutional arrangements for administering these new rights will determine the outcome
