Complexity and Efficiency at International Criminal Courts
No full textThe most persistent criticisms of international criminal tribunals are that they cost too much and take too long. Stuart Ford presents a new assessment utilizing complexity and efficiency. Ford\u27s work reveals that even the least complex trial at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) is more complex than the average criminal trial in the United States, and that the trials completed by the ICTY thus far are the most complex set of related criminal cases to have ever been tried by any court. These conclusions highlight why it is misleading to compare the cost and length of the ICTY\u27s trials to other trials, both domestic and international, without first accounting for their complexity. Per efficiency, Ford concludes that the ICTY\u27s trials have proven more efficient than cases of comparable gravity and complexity tried in domestic courts or at the Special Court for Sierra Leone

No. 617 Stuart Ruckman
No full textTranscript (12, 40 pages) of two interviews by Matt Driscoll with Stuart Ruckman on April 9, 2010, and July 7, 2011Ruckman (b. 1966) was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. Stuart shares how his family, particularly his father, played a significant role in introducing him to the outdoors. Some of his initial explorations included a hike to the top of Mount Olympus when he was five years old, backpacking trips in the Wasatch and Uinta Mountains, and a successful summit attempt on the Grand Teton when he was twelve. Stuart discovered technical rock climbing due to the influence of his older brother Bret, five years Stuart\u27s senior. Bret learned under Dennis Turville, a well-respected Salt Lake climbing instructor. Stuart shares his observations on the Salt Lake climbing community of the late 1970s and 1980s, noting the intimacy of the community, while also pointing out the significant influence of a handful of climbers, including Merrill Bitter, Les Ellison, and Brian Smoot. He briefly describes the proliferation of new-route development in the Wasatch during his first decade in climbing. In collaboration with his brother Bret, Stuart published comprehensive guidebooks on climbing in the Wasatch Mountains. Stuart\u27s contributions as a first-ascensionist and co-author of Rock Climbing the Wasatch Range attest to his lasting impact on Utah climbing. Interview is part of the Outdoor Recreation History Project. Interviewer: Matt Driscol
The dramaturgy of the tragedies of John Webster and John Ford with special reference to their use of stage imagery.
No full textPhDThe imagery of the plays of John Webster and John
Ford is not only verbal: in staging as well as language
these dramas display strongly imagistic, symbolic elements.
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the seven extant
tragedies of Webster and Ford from the point of view of
their total dramatic nature - to examine the staging,
costumes, hand and large properties, movement and gestures
as well as the verbal imagery, and the interplay of these
verbal and visual elements. The original appearance, of
these plays in their contemporary theatre, and the
dramatist's intentions for performance, can only be surmised.
The original stage directions are examined for
hints of the original presentation: these stage directions
may not always be authorial, but, especially in the case of
Ford, they seem to reveal the playwright's hand. The dialogue,
too, frequently implies particular gestures,
grouping or stage placement.
The visual imagery, it is here suggested, is created
by the dramatist for several purposes: a moral or ironical
point may be silently established; a chain of related
visual motifs may bind various actions and characters into
an organic union; a visualization may appeal outward to
other works of art or theatrical or non-dramatic conventions,
enlarging the immediate significance by this shorthand
reference; visual ceremonies may make concrete the more
ephemeral words and feelings of the characters.
Each of the tragedies is studied in a separate chapter,
in the following order: Webster's The White Devil, The
Duchess of Malfi, and Appius and Virginia (the authorship
of which is disputed); John Ford's The Broken Heart,
Love's Sacrifice, 'Tis Pity She's a Whore, and Perkin
Warbeck. A conclusion indicates the differences between
Webster's more overtly theatrical visualizations and Ford's
quiet tableaux.
The thesis is accompanied by illustrations which are
either explanatory or comparative

George MacLeod’s open-air preaching: performance and counter-performance
No full textStuart Blythe uses the methodology of performance to analyse George MacLeod’s open-air preaching. He points out that MacLeod’s preaching was derived from a theology of the incarnation, and an understanding of the paradoxes and dichotomies of common human life. This preaching, Blythe suggests, was also a counter-performance in the context of outlooks and ideologies inimical to the gospel. The paper raises interesting issues related to preaching as performance, and the further question as to whether or not the life and work of the Church as a whole might now be better understood as a counter-performance.Publisher PD
The relationship between Ford, Kipling, Conan Doyle, Wells and British propaganda of the First World War
No full textPhDThis thesis resituates the war-writing of Ford Madox Ford, Rudyard Kipling, Arthur
Conan Doyle and H.G. Wells in relation to official British propaganda
produced during the First World War. Examining these authors' institutional
connections with propaganda that was authorised by the British government locates
some of their texts within a network of materials that were deployed to justify
Britain's involvenlent in the war. The British government, via the War Propaganda
Bureau, approached major literary figures to assist in its plan to compete
vigorously with Germany to win American support. Positioning Ford's condemnation
of Prussian culture within this institutional context reveals that his officially
commissioned books functioned as a part of the larger yet-covert government
project to influence American intellectual opinion. Although wary that Kipling's
chauvinism might offend some readers, the British government reprinted and
distributed his denunciations of the 'Hun'. Kipling was given access to censored
letters from Indian soldiers in order to assist him in depicting the Imperial forces as
united. The result, The Eyes of Asia (1918), was a set of fictional texts by Indian
soldiers celebrating French and English civilisation in contrast to German barbarism.
In addition to official propaganda, these authors produced pro-war stories, poems, and
articles independent of direct government commission. Conan Doyle's formal call for
men to volunteer to defend their country, and his public denunciations of German
atrocities, were followed by his recruitment of Sherlock Holmes to repel a possible
German invasion ("His Last Bow" (1917)). Adding to his support for the war in his
journalism and war-time fiction, Wells was appointed the Head of Enemy Propaganda
for the newly formed Ministry of Information. He resigned almost immediately
following disagreements over government strategy. This project situates historically
and examines critically these authors' differing roles in relation to British propaganda
efforts during the First World War
