The zones of fragility: outlaws and the forms of violence in the Ottoman Empire
Get PDFThis study explores the relationship between violence and power through examining the archival documents about the outlaws in the Ottoman Empire from 1852 to 1876. I argue that the outlaws and the use of violence in the public sphere defied the power of the Ottoman Empire. Thereof, the present study agrees with the main thesis of Hannah Arendt about the destructive influence of violence on power. However, I take Hannah Arendt's argument on violence one step further by claiming that the form of violence -whether political or non-political- loses its significance when both public safety and state sovereignty are under great threats at the same time in the zones of fragility

American Outlaws in Australia
No full textAn aspect of the diffusion of American popular culture is examined in this research drawing upon national survey data. Measuring Australians‟ knowledge of American and Australian outlaws, we found that Jesse James and Billy the Kid are better known in Australia than any of the local outlaws, or bushrangers, with the exception of Ned Kelly. While a relatively large proportion of Australians identified Ned Kelly, Ben Hall, Jesse James and Billy the Kid as outlaws, few identified other Australian „outlaws‟. Social background and political ideology is associated with greater knowledge of outlaws. Men, baby boomers and their predecessors, those born in Australia or the UK, those with a basic secondary level education and those identifying as left on the political spectrum are the most knowledgeable. This Australian study suggests that outlaws such as Jesse James and Billy the Kid are not just national folk heroes, but recognised globally. Promoted by visual and print media they have transcended their outlaw heritage to represent romanticised notions of freedom, loyalty and the „underdog‟, regardless of the historical facts surrounding their lives and deaths

THE GLOBALISATION OF OUTLAWS AND BUSHRANGERS
Get PDFAustralian’s knowledge of outlaws and bushrangers are examined in this research drawing upon national survey data from 2005. With the exception of Ned Kelly, the American outlaws Jesse James and Billy the Kid are better known in Australia than any local bushrangers. A large proportion of Australians named Kelly (80%), James (46%) and Billy the Kid (33%), but very few identified other bushrangers or outlaws. Social background influences knowledge of outlaws. Middle-aged and older people born in Australia or the UK were most knowledgeable, while news consumption and secondary education were also important factors in the recognition of outlaws. Outlaws such as James, Kelly and Robin Hood are not just folk heroes in their home countries but also recognised globally. Mythologised through visual and print media they have transcended their outlaw image to become global icons representing values such as bravery, loyalty and support for the underdog, regardless of the veracity of these representations

Brothels: Outlaws or citizens?
Get PDFHistorically, sex services premises in New South Wales, Australia were regarded and regulated as illegal and disorderly entities; they were policed as outlaws. The Disorderly Houses Amendment Act 1995 [NSW] bestowed legal status, providing an opportunity to regulate sex services premises as legal subjects. Despite these reforms, in many areas brothels continue to be regulated more restrictively than other businesses. I argue that this is because, for many, brothels continue to be perceived as outlaws. They are regarded as inherently unlawful, disorderly, and hence warranting and requiring exclusion from the community. I argue that this conception of brothels as outlaws is constructed and reinforced through regulation. In contrast, some local councils and Land and Environment Court decisions have taken up the opportunity to regard and regulate sex services premises as legal subjects or citizens. The conception of sex services premises as citizen imports an existing legal framework, with associated accountabilities, rights and responsibilities. This shift in conception results in people viewing sex services premises differently, experiencing them differently and regulating them differently. © 2010, Cambridge University Press.
