Cultural Criticism Of Law, Guyora Binder, Robert Weisberg May 1997

Cultural Criticism Of Law, Guyora Binder, Robert Weisberg

Journal Articles

Professors Binder and Weisberg expound a "cultural criticism" of law that views law as an arena for composing, representing, and contesting identity, and that treats identity as constitutive of the interests that motivate instrumental action. They explicate this critical method by reference to "New Historicist" literary criticism, postmodern social theory, and Nietzchean aesthetics.

Second, they examine "readings" of the representations of character, credit, and value …

Never Again: Questioning The Yugoslav And Rwanda Tribunals, Makau Wa Mutua Jan 1997

In addition, this piece questions the motivations behind the formulation of the tribunals …
