Antonina Domańska (1853–1917). Writer’s Domestic Environment The children’s author Antonina Domańska (1853–1917) came from a well-known Kraków middle-class family of German-Austrian descent. Joseph Kremer, the progenitor and grandfather of Antonina, was granted his rights as a citizen of the City of Krakow in 1796. His three sons, Józef, Karol and Aleksander (the father of Antonina) all received a thorough education and in time became accomplished figures of Polish science and arts. Aleksander Kremer (1813–1880) starting in 1842 lived in Kamieniec Podolski and worked there as a doctor. There, he married Modesta Płońska who in 1853 gave birth to their daughter, Antonina. After the fall of the January Uprising of 1863, the family was forced to leave Russian-occupied Poland and return to Krakow. Here Antonina Kremer obtained her education in a boarding school for girls; in 1874 she married Stanisław Domański, a surgeon. She took care of the household and looked after her five children, two of which survived into adulthood. Beginning in 1890, Antonina Domańska took to writing stories for children and young adults. She maintained close contacts with the family of Lucjan Rydel Sr, a medical doctor, whose wife Helena, the daughter of prof. Józef Kremer, was her cousin. But it Isabel Röskau-Rydel was her cousin’s son, the poet and writer Lucjan Rydel Jr (1870–1918), who – as the correspondence between them readily shows – inspired her in her literary endeavours, advised her on publishing her works and was a trustworthy partner for discussions on possible topics for her tales for children and young adults.

The division of the stage into halves, one representing family conflicts in 1929 and the other representing the same family in 1932, is a device in the dramatic use of space which explains the originality of A Moratória, as shown by an Aristotelian analysis of its structure. The archetype which inspires the structure of this play is “the ant and the grasshopper,” whose division implies different dramatic climates within the play. On the one hand, we have the tragedy of negligence (level of the parents and their son), and on the other hand, the apprenticeship of consciousness (level of the daughter). The simultaneous use of the divided stage reflects the period of transition lived by the family and the Brazilian society in the early thirties: there is the shift from the country to the city; the shift from patriarchal to matriarchal tendencies; and the transfer of power from the great families to the emerging middle class. If the play fails in part, it is because the author cannot give an objective interpretation of reality. He is too compassionate.

Abstract Background Patients present with ‘conversion disorder’ as a response to the underlying stressful situation. It is clinically important to evaluate the presence, type, and temporal relation of the stressors resulting in conversion. Further knowing the Socio-demographic and psychological profile of the conversion patient helps in better management. Aim To study the clinical presentations, Socio-demographic characteristics and underlying stressors associated with conversion disorder. Methods Fifty patients admitted to the department of psychiatry, NRI Medical College and Hospital, Vishakhapatnam, during January 2013 to December, 2014 who fulfilled the inclusion criteria of the study were evaluated for Socio-demographic characteristics, clinical presentations and stressor on a semi-structured proforma. Results Majority of the patients with conversion symptoms were children and young adults (74.0%), females (62.0%), students (46.0%), married (54.0%) and those from nuclear families (78.0%) and rural background (62.0%). Socioeconomic status wise, majority (66.0%) of the patients belonged to middle class. Majority of the patients (92.0%) had a recognizable precipitating factor, of which family-related/marital (36.0%) and education/school-related (18.0%) problems accounted for the major types. Purely motor symptoms were the predominant presentation (84.0%) with unresponsiveness /syncopal attack and pseudo seizure being the commonest. Conclusion Conversion disorders are commonly seen in females, children and young adults, students and in those belonged to middle class in socioeconomic status and rural areas. Underlying psycho-social stressors could be identified in majority of the cases of conversion disorder.

AbstractThe rapid emergence and spread of new housing quarters that specifically address middle-class families is a striking feature of current urban development. Despite being located in or near the city centres, many of these ‘family enclaves’ display social and physical characteristics that so far have been firmly associated with suburban living. Against this background, the purpose of this article is twofold. The first objective is to argue from a theoretical perspective that the notion of ‘inner-city suburbanization’ is appropriate and helpful to capture the hybrid and contradictory nature of these projects as well as of many of the current socio-spatial developments in Western metropolitan regions. For this purpose, the paper draws on newer approaches that conceive of (urban or suburban) ways of living as independent of specific (urban or suburban) spaces or places. The second issue, based on empirical research, is then to sketch the essential qualities of newly built middle-class family enclaves and to highlight their propagation as a major characteristic of urban transformation in Germany. Their continuing expansion is interpreted as an expression and catalyst of ongoing processes of inner-city suburbanization. It is asserted that suburbanism has not only made its mark on the outskirts of the cities but is increasingly conquering growing parts of the inner cities as well.

Yuan-tsung, meaning “First Pearl,” was born to a middle-class family in Shanghai, the Paris of the East, not rich, but well connected, and since childhood her ambitious mother had groomed her to climb the social ladder. Her father, though loving, was somewhat ineffectual. He lost his job in a scandal, and the family began to come down in the world. Because she was the eldest of three siblings, she felt obligated to reverse the family fortune. Her maiden performance as a social climber, when she met and attracted the attention of a powerful socialite, Phyllis Wu, during a grand party at the Fairy Glen Hotel, made her mother think she had great potential.

The People of the Abyss is Jack London’s study of the poor in the city of London, England, in 1902. This essay places the book in the context of earlier poverty studies by Joseph Tuckerman, Henry Mayhew, William Booth, Charles Loring Brace, Jacob Riis, Robert Blatchford, George Hawes, and others. The essay then considers four tensions within London’s book: between London’s roles as both observer and participant, between his affinity for the lower classes of his own origin and his new status as a successful writer and middle-class family man, between his feelings of both revulsion and sympathy for the poor, and between the docile and subservient poor and those who are spirited or rebellious in the face of charity. The interplay of these tensions enables London to portray vividly and examine fully the lives of the poor who inhabit the East End of the city of London.

Resumo: O presente artigo propõe-se a apresentar os resultados da pesquisa sobre os índices do crime de ameaça (art. 147 do Código Penal Brasileiro - CPB) praticado contra a mulher no âmbito familiar-doméstico, na cidade de Belém/PA, no período de 2010 a 2014, registrados pela Delegacia Especializada no Atendimento à Mulher (DEAM). A expressividade da pesquisa revela-se pela constatação de que crimes de maior potencial ofensivo, como o feminicídio, são geralmente precedidos do delito previsto no art. 147 do CPB, o que deveria estimular uma atuação preventiva do Estado, como a apuração e repressão regulares, eficazes e céleres das ameaças cometidas no campo das relações domésticas. Para a realização do trabalho pesquisou-se na legislação, na doutrina forense, na jurisprudência e na práxis dos órgãos que compõem a rede de enfrentamento à violência doméstica no estado do Pará, como funciona a persecução penal do delito de ameaça e como a mulher pode proceder para acessar a justiça. Por fim, para averiguar como a ameaça vem sendo registrada e investigada em Belém/PA, foram coletados dados estatísticos dos boletins de ocorrência e dos inquéritos policiais correspondentes na DEAM/Belém. Após a análise dos dados obtidos, constatou-se que a ameaça foi o tipo penal mais recorrente nas estatísticas policiais da Especializada, no período examinado, mas apenas parcela irrisória dos casos foi apurada através de Inquéritos, evidenciando que a exigência de representação penal, a morosidade e a burocracia processuais têm sido óbice ao acesso à justiça e à efetividade da tutela estatal.Palavras-chave: Ameaça; Lei Maria da Penha; Estatísticas da DEAM/Belém; Acesso à Justiça. Abstract: The present article proposes to present the results of the research on the indexes of the crime of threat (article 147 of the Brazilian Penal Code - CPB) practiced against women in the family-domestic environment, in the city of Belém / PA, in the period from 2010 to 2014, registered by the Delegacia Especializada no Atendimento à Mulher (DEAM).

Oleg Alexander Kerensky was born in St Petersburg on 16 April 1905 into a well-to-do middle-class family. His father was the Alexander Kerensky who, after the February 1917 revolution in Russia, became a member of the Provisional Government formed by the Duma, first as Minister of Justice, then as Minister of War and of the Navy. In July of that year he headed the reorganized government as Prime Minister until the Bolsheviks took over power in the October Revolution. Before then Alexander Kerensky had been a barrister and, from 1912, a member of the Duma, where he had become leader of the Trudoviki group, the moderately left opposition to the Tsarist régime. In the male line, Oleg’s great-grandfather was an orthodox priest. Oleg’s paternal grandfather, Feodor M. Kerensky, not wishing to follow the family tradition of becoming a priest, went to the University of Kazan and became first a teacher, then a school inspector, and then headmaster of two high schools in Simbirsk, one for boys and the other for girls. Feodor’s wife was a general’s daughter and the niece of a professor of divinity in the University of Kazan. When Alexander Oleg’s father, was nine years old, Feodor was further promoted to be the Inspector of Education for the then very recently acquired province of Turkestan, so the family went to live in Tashkent and the children did not see European Russia again until the time came to go to university in St Petersburg.

These lines, taken from the poem “Sweet Home,” were published by Eliza Cook (1818–89) in Once a Week in 1867. Accompanied by Joseph Swain's engraving (Figure 4), the poem presents an idealized portrait of a middle-class family in the nineteenth century. The home is a “blissful, holy place” where “Manhood, Infancy, and Age” can find their “love and peace” as well as “joy and grace.” Of particular interest is that Swain places the female figures – grandmother, mother with a child on her lap, and daughter – at the center of the engraving: their bodies and faces are clearly sketched, whereas father and son, the only two male figures in the engraving, merely show half their faces with their backs turned to the reader. Overall, the poem itself contains some of the striking echoes of the dominant ideology of home at the time. The scene of the family gathered around the hearth illuminates the all-embracing concept of domesticity – coziness, comfort, and intimacy.

A family is an organized system that connects all members together to exalt happiness and share grief to each other; they do not only help and hold shoulders with shoulders to strengthens family bonds and teach each other morality of life, respect and honour but also parents scold their sons and daughters for committing any mistakes to recuperate themselves in their career. Therefore, the sacred dignity of the family has been shattered nowadays in order to grab wealth and money. As Father has certain respect and honour at home similarly brothers and sisters have assured place in their parents ‟ heart. The play The Vulture has exposed a middle class family in the urban set up that comprises many family members who can fulfil their house with happiness and pleasure but their thirst for wealth and money shattered their tranquil life. Pappa has accumulated property after so much works though he has grabbed his brother Sakharam’s part who visits his home frequently to ask his part but his all efforts turned into dust and he is insulted by his nephews Ramakant and Umakant. They all are frustrated with the established system and they all started fighting for inheritance. They batter their own father for getting his hidden money though they all know that their demands and threat are transient, they will see the same satiation as they place their father at the moment. Their pursuit has no eternity as they show themselves that they have no goal; purposelessness, meaninglessness, disillusionment prevailed in their life. They sensationalize their arguments to quench their thirst and throw out their moral duty in respect of their father and family. For gaining absurd pursuit, they replicate the vulture like behaviour to kill their own father yet they are addicted to drinking and smoking and drugs, and keeping illicit relationship and outing at night for entertainment.
