Gorgias
No full textTaking the form of a dialogue between Socrates, Polus and Callicles, the Gorgias debates crucial questions about the nature of government. While the aspiring politician Callicles propounds the view that might is right, and the rhetorician Gorgias argues that oratory and the power to persuade represent 'the greatest good', Socrates insists on the duty of politicians to consider the welfare of their citizens--a duty he believed had been dishonoured in the Athens of his time. The dialogue offers fascinating insights into how classical Athens was governed, as well as creating a theoretical framework that has been highly influential on subsequent political debate.

Night Must Fall
No full textAbout the Playwright
For more than thirty years British and American theatre and motion picture audiences have seen Emlyn Williams, the Welsh actor, who is also a playwright and a director. Beginning as an actor in a small part in a London stage production in 1927, Williams the next year had his first play produced, and five years later made his first screen appearance. By 1935 he was acting and directing his own plays and since then has often functioned simultaneously in these three capacities, both on the stage and on the screen. Of his twenty some plays, Night Must Fall and The Corn is Green, the latter an autobiographical account of the author\u27s early years in a Welsh mining community, are the best known to American audiences.
In May 1935, with the warm reception given to his play Night Must Fall and his performance in it, Williams\u27 reputation as both actor and playwright was firmly established. The creation of Danny, the psychopathic bellhop, had its origin in a chance attendance by Williams at the appeal trial of a murderer whose nonchalance was notorious. The play ran for a year in London and then went to New York in September 1936 where critics acclaimed the play and the actor.
Perhaps the most enthusiastic praise of Williams as an actor came from Walter Kerr, New York drama critic. Referring to Emlyn Williams\u27 solo performance of the works of Charles Dickens, Mr. Kerr said: Williams is an actor of striking range and great virtuosity as well, and the result is a combination of personal charm and adroit theatrical mimicry which rivets audience attention to him for two solid hours and which, miraculously, becomes increasingly compelling as it goes along.

How can Utopia inform the understanding of works of visual and plastic art?
No full textThis project explores the production of visual art, utopian studies, and the interpretation of the works of Luce Irigaray, through a body of artwork that embodies and demonstrates perceptions of utopia as informing strategies for critique and re-imagining aspects of society. The explorations led to the discovery of a common liminal (Van Gennep) character in the concept of utopia and the utopian element as enmeshed with the desire for a better way of being (Ruth Levitas); the concept of 'transitional phenomena' of object relations theory as pertaining to art (Donald Winnicott); and the idea of the 'sensible transcendental' in considering twoness of being (Luce Irigaray). These contributions are embodied in and represented by the body of work and explained in the written dissertation that accompanies and supports the body of wor
