Dress, law and naked truth : a cultural study of fashion and form
No full textWhy are civil authorities in so-called liberal democracies affronted by public nudity and the Islamic full-face 'veil'? Why is law and civil order so closely associated with robes, gowns, suits, wigs and uniforms? Why is law so concerned with the 'evident' and the need for justice to be 'seen' to be done? Why do we dress and obey dress codes at all? In this, the first ever study devoted to the many deep cultural connections between dress and law, the author addresses these questions and more. His responses flow from the radical thesis that 'law is dress and dress is law'. Engaging with sources from The Epic of Gilgamesh to Shakespeare, Carlyle, Dickens and Damien Hirst, Professor Watt draws a revealing history of dress and civil order and offers challenging conclusions about the nature of truth and the potential for individuals to fit within the forms of civil life

Independent Individual Decision-Makers in Household Models and the New Home Economics
No full textMuch of the recent literature in household economics has been critical of unitary models of household decision-making. Most alternative models currently used are bargaining models and consensual models, including collective models. This paper discusses another alternative: independent individual models of decision-making that don't make any specific assumptions of jointness of decision-making in households. Unitary models are typically associated with Gary Becker even though most of Becker’s own analyses of the family did not use his unitary model. This is especially the case with the specifically independent individual models presented in his theory of marriage. Decision-making models assuming independent individual household members in the Becker tradition are reminiscent of models of labor markets in which firms and workers are independent decision-makers. As basis for econometric estimations, such models may be preferable to models imposing the structure of a game or a household welfare function.unitary model, household model, Gary Becker, marriage, labor
Gary's Gateway : a design proposal for the expansion and redevelopment of Gateway Park in Gary, Indiana
No full textThis project reveals the potential for new connections and an enhanced sense of place identity to serve as catalysts for the revitalization of the derelict urban environment. Gateway Park in Gary, Indiana was chosen for the project site and has been redesigned and expanded in order to bridge the gap between downtown Gary and the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. Particular attention has been paid to connecting the project site to proposed regional greenway systems while illustrating the natural and cultural heritage of Gary. Additionally, the project site has been designed to fit within the framework of Northwest Indiana's Marquette Plan and transit-oriented development vision, while incorporating diverse programming to attract a wide variety of site users. The final design proposal rests on a historiography of the project site, a literature review investigating place identity and 'placemaking,' a study of relevant precedent projects, and extensive inventory, analysis, and concept development.Thesis (M.L.A.)Department of Landscape Architectur

How "Chicagoan" are Gary Becker's Economic Models of Marriage?
No full textThis paper describes Gary Becker’s theoretical models of marriage. At the micro-level, these are all rational choice models. At the market level, Becker offers two major types of models: partial equilibrium models based on Price Theory as taught by Marshall and Friedman and optimal sorting models based on optimal assignment models. The paper examines some of the possible intellectual influences on Becker’s theory of marriage, compares Becker’s research on marriage with that of some scholars interested in intra-marriage distribution, and documents that Becker’s students at Chicago were more interested in Becker’s Friedmanian models of marriage than in his optimal assignment models.
