A Relational Theory of Authorship
No full textOver the years we have heard the debate as to whether authorship emanates solely from the individual or from the cultural context in which they inhabit. Writers such as Professors Woodmansee, Jaszi and Cohen have asserted a cultural theory of authorship. On one hand, there is the liberal philosophy of autonomous creativity evidenced in the notion of a "romantic author" (after the period known as romanticism). On the other hand we have more of a communitarian notion – that the author acts in a cultural context and authorship to some extent must be linked back to the social existence within which the author is situated.\ud
\ud
This article argues that for too long we have privileged the notion of the romantic author so much so that it is hard to argue for any other approach to copyright than one that focuses primarily on the author and their assignees such as publishers or associated commercialising agents such as recording companies. Furthermore it suggests that this approach fits awkwardly with the burgeoning networked society fuelled by the Internet to the point where it threatens innovation and the potential for productivity. To this end the article argues that we should more explicitly acknowledge the contribution of culture to authorship and more so the role of each and every individual in assisting and nurturing that authorship, as well as the contribution of users to creativity through consumptive, productive and transformative use of copyright works

No full textMike was brought to El Paso by his godmother to attend school at Lydia Patterson Institute in El Paso, Texas when he was 11 years old. Mike had his first job working at a bowling alley in El Paso at the age of 12. At the age of 15 years old, he got married. Mike cared for and loved his mother Benita very much. He recalls that she taught him to better his life, to better his family, to do the proper thing, to be honest with himself, and to have self-respect. Mike has used these concepts to build his life and his career as a businessman. After Mike left school at the age of 12, he never returned however he used every job and life in general as his schooling. Mike seized any opportunity to learn. After he was married at the age of 16, Mike worked with Prices Creameries for six months and then left to work for a company out of Arlington Texas called Fitzgerald, as a painter. The owner, Harold Fitzgerald was very helpful to Mike, teaching him about the painting business and helping Mike during hard times. Mike worked for Fitzgerald for over a decade and then decided to open his own painting business. In 1958, Mike started Mike A. Garcia Painting in El Paso, Texas. He has contracted work with Fort Bliss, Holloman Air Force Base. He has worked all over Texas, in many cities across the United States as well as abroad. Mike faced some discrimination over the years due to misconceptions and stereotypes about the Mexican/Hispanic work ethic. Mike worked harder to prove them wrong and thus his business was successful. Mike eventually got into real estate by purchasing properties and renting them out. Mike was able to meet many people who he built lasting personal and professional relationships with. Mike was chairman of the Civil Service Commission; he was active in the Good Government League. He has also been active in LULAC, Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the El Paso Sheriff Department, the YMCA of El Paso, and city politics. Mike felt it necessary to be involved with the city of El Paso in order to give back
How far is F. Scott Fitzgerald efficient in reflecting the moral corruption in the American Society of Roaring Twenties?
No full textF. Scott Fitzgerald is one of the artistic authors in American literature who has always
inspired young generations ever since he was first published. The very first reason why his
masterpieces are so impressive, is his flashing some sections from his real life in his short
stories and novels. Furthermore, he is shining at reflecting the characteristics of his period-the
glittering Jazz Era, the sophisticated, stylish Roaring Twenties.
There are many sections of Fitzgerald’s life, which is very similar to his novel The Great
Gatsby. To give some examples, Gatsby falls in love while he is a lieutenant like Fitzgerald
and Daisy is keen on a wealthy life, full of luxury just like Zelda who is Fitzgerald’s wife in
real life. Nick Carraway has also some similar aspects with Fitzgerald. They both go to Ivy
League colleges (Nick goes to Yale and Fitzgerald goes to Princeton.). The real life of the
author, embedded in the story, always makes the novel more alluring. That is why I chose The
Great Gatsby.
This extended essay is mainly an attempt to figure out the social attitudes during twenties and
grasp the mood of this enigmatic Jazz Age by enjoying the masterpiece of one of the most
transcendent, peerless American authors-F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby.
Moral corruption is the main issue that is covered in this essay and the efficiency of Fitzgerald
in reflecting the collapse of ethical values is focused on
