The Bullet In The Brick: The Materiality Of Conflict In Museum Objects, Siobhan Doyle
Articles
Tangible traces of conflict in visual artefacts can take viewers uncomfortably close to the realities of war—violence, destruction and fatalities. This article questions the evidential force of objects associated with conflict and their eventual display in exhibitions. Through a study of the display of a brick in which is embedded a bullet that is said to have passed through the body of Francis Sheehy Skeffington when he was executed by firing squad during the Easter Rising in Dublin in 1916, this article explores the historical configuration of the brick and analyses its public display in the National Museum of Ireland …

French Place Names In Clark County, Arkansas, Joe Jeffers

French place names are common in Arkansas, especially in south Arkansas, where after the French explorers left, French trappers and settlers from Canada moved in.

This article explores French place names in today’s Clark County and in the original Clark County formed in 1818.

The Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act's Evolving Genocide Exception, Vivian Grosswald Curran
The Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act's Evolving Genocide Exception, Vivian Grosswald Curran
Articles
The Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA) was passed by Congress as a comprehensive statute to cover all instances when foreign states are to be immune from suit in the courts of the United States, as well as when foreign state immunity is to be limited.
