<Emphasis Type="Italic">Peters Edition v. Batt</Emphasis>: The Intertextuality of Silence

The article deals, on the one hand, with a legal conflict between a musical performer/arranger, Mike Batt, and the estate of a composer of avant-garde music, John Cage, over copyright. It is also concerned with the field of intertextuality – how meaning is created in a text or in a work of art, whether it is visual, musical or verbal, through allusions and quotations to previous texts or works of art. The controversy, which did not reach the courts because of a pre-trial settlement, was over an author’s rights to silence, or, as in this case, a silent piece of music. The central issue discussed is the way in which silence may be considered – if at all, to be protectable.

当今世界,科技发展日新月异,综合国力竞争日趋激烈。“形式逼人,不进则退。”与时俱进,开拓创新,已经成为党和国家事业发展的必然要求。无数事实证明,安于现状、墨守成规、不思进取。就会失去创造力,就会落在世界文明进步的后面。我们要在21世纪中叶实现现代化建设的第三步战略目标,达到中等发达国家水平,就必须永不自满,永不懈怠,与时俱进,开拓创新。创新,首先是理论上要创新。正如江泽民同志在党的十六大报告中所指出的:“实践基础上的理论创新是社会发展和变革的先导。”要通过理论创新,推动制度创新、科技创新、文化创新以及其他各方面创新。只有这样,才     

The Relationship Between Religious and Spiritual Factors and the Perpetration of Intimate Personal Violence

Despite some understanding of general correlates and possible antecedents to intimate partner violence (IPV) within the Christian community, the impact of religious and spiritual factors tends to be confounded by other factors and is often misjudged. Archival data from Wave III of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) were used to examine the impact of nine religious and spiritual factors on the probability of IPV perpetration by males, aged 18 to 26, who nominally classified themselves as Catholic, Protestant, or Christian. Logistic regression results indicated that IPV perpetration could not be adequately predicted from the religious and spiritual factors. Given the geographic breadth and the size of the Add Health sample, no finding of a predictive model for Christian male-perpetrated IPV challenges the paradigm that religious and spiritual factors should be overtly addressed in faith-based batterers’ programs targeting young adult males.
