The Culture Police: Manning The Barricades Of Allowable Art And Culture, Ramy Aly
The Culture Police: Manning The Barricades Of Allowable Art And Culture, Ramy Aly
Faculty Book Chapters
In this chapter I look at the history and ontology of censorship in Egypt from the Monarchical era to the present. I focus on the post-1952 era and how a tutelary state culture has been deployed as part of a broader cultural militarism. The chapter also covers the legislative architecture that has ensured a stranglehold on the part of syndicates and the creation of a broad range of crimes associated with art and culture production and exhibition.
Microwaving Dreams? Why There Is No Point In Reheating The Hart-Dworkin Debate For International Law, Jason A. Beckett
Microwaving Dreams? Why There Is No Point In Reheating The Hart-Dworkin Debate For International Law, Jason A. Beckett
Faculty Book Chapters
A critique of attempts to transpose Hart and Dworkin's legal theories to international law. I demonstrate why neither approach can provide insights into international law. Hart and Dworkin are institutional theorists, their methodologies are anchored by the need to justify the exercise of socially centralised violence. International law lacks both institutions and centralised violence, and the stabilising force these bring; it is radically indeterminate. Attempts to suppress this indeterminacy have resulted in international lawyers fragmenting into communities of practice, united by their eschatological faith in the international community. I challenge this faith.
‘Sexualized Slavery’ And Customary International Law, Patricia Viseur Sellers, Jocelyn Getgen Kestenbaum
‘Sexualized Slavery’ And Customary International Law, Patricia Viseur Sellers, Jocelyn Getgen Kestenbaum
Faculty Book Chapters
This chapter examines the doctrinal avenues for the recognition and prosecution of ‘sexualized slavery’. The Hissène Habré trial and appellate judgments represent watershed legal decisions rendering long-denied justice to victims of the brutal Chadian regime. Delayed charges of credible sexual violence inflicted upon both males and females challenged the judges of the Extraordinary African Chambers (EAC) in Senegal. Legal characterizations of sexual assaults ultimately attributed to Habré represent significant jurisprudential advancements on rape, sexual slavery, and torture as international crimes. The EAC's observations acknowledge that sexual slavery constitutes part of the actus reus of enslavement as crime against humanity and …
Reorienting Disclosure Debates In A Post-Citizens United World, Katherine A. Shaw
Reorienting Disclosure Debates In A Post-Citizens United World, Katherine A. Shaw
Faculty Book Chapters
Disclosure is often an afterthought in debates about money in politics. Reformers have tended to take disclosure for granted, devoting little time to developing and refi ning the affi rmative case for it. They have also tended to assume that the current disclosure regime is an effective one, at least as far as it goes. Reformers have devoted substantial attention to the holes in the current regime in the post- Citizens United era— so- called “dark” and “gray” money 1 — and have considered ways to bring such activity into the light. Yet even if they are successful, such expansion …
