Spastic paki abortion queer faggot sperm

Article Abstract:

It is far too easy to assume that language is responsible for social problems, according to US philosopher Judith Butler, professor of rhetoric and comparative literature at Berkeley. She believes that there is a widespread inability to consider social problems such as racism in a more systematic way, taking into account economic and institutional factors. She is opposed to racist and sexist abuse, but does not believe that it should be fought through legislation. Similarly, she is opposed to the growing tendency in the US to ban the public use of offensive words.

Renaissance of the Middle Ages

Article Abstract:

Anthony Hunt of St Peter's College, Oxford, suggests that the current popularity of all things medieval could be because the world is living through a New Middle Ages. A new method of teaching the Middle Ages has helped turn popular interest into scholarly activity following a period in which some universities have cut medieval degree options. An interdisciplinary approach to the study of the Middle Ages has attracted increasing numbers of students, with women over 30 being particularly interested in the medieval period.
