Book Review Panel: When Souls Had Wings: Pre-Mortal Existence In Western Thought, Terryl Givens, James L. Siebach, Dana M. Pike, Jesse D. Hurlbut, David B. Paxman Jan 2011

Book Review Panel: When Souls Had Wings: Pre-Mortal Existence In Western Thought, Terryl Givens, James L. Siebach, Dana M. Pike, Jesse D. Hurlbut, David B. Paxman

English Faculty Publications

On October 13, 2011, BYU Studies sponsored a program reviewing Terryl Givens’s important Oxford book on the idea of the premortal existence of souls in various lines of Western philosophy and religion. Because this first volume of its kind covers literature from so many different civilizations, the editors of BYU Studies saw no way to do this book justice without involving a panel of reviewers from several disciplines. After portions of Robert Fuller’s forthcoming review in Church History were read, the program proceeded with reviews, responses, and open discussion.


The Village As Cold War Site: Experts, Development, And The History Of Rural Reconstruction, Nicole Sackley Jan 2011

The Village As Cold War Site: Experts, Development, And The History Of Rural Reconstruction, Nicole Sackley

History Faculty Publications

This article examines ‘the village’ as a category of development knowledge used by policymakers and experts to remake the ‘Third World’ during the Cold War. The idea of the village as a universal category of underdevelopment, capable of being remade by expert-led social reform, structured efforts to win the ‘hearts and minds’ of people from Asia to Latin America and Africa. Rooted in a transnational interwar movement for rural reconstruction, village projects were transformed in the 1950s and 1960s by a scientization of development that narrowed the range of experts in the field and by Cold War politics that increasingly …


Critical Race Theory: A Commemoration, Tukufu Zuberi Jan 2011

Critical Race Theory: A Commemoration, Tukufu Zuberi

Connecticut Law Review

Kimberld Williams Crenshaw's Twenty Years of Critical Race Theory: Looking Back To Move Forward calls for a broader definition of CRT and for the next phase of this movement to embrace scholars from a multitude of disciplines. The tradition of critical theories of race in the social sciences is intimately related to the CRT Movement developed in the law. The social sciences are an important part of the realization of Crenshaw's aspirations. This Article argues that Crenshaw's call is visionary and a necessary step for researchers interested in the end of white supremacy and the elevation of the human sciences …


The Value Of Intersectional Comparative Analysis To The Post-Racial Future Of Critical Race Theory: A Brazil-U.S. Comparative Case Study Commentary: Critical Race Theory: A Commemoration: Response, Tanya Kateri Hernandez Jan 2011

The Value Of Intersectional Comparative Analysis To The Post-Racial Future Of Critical Race Theory: A Brazil-U.S. Comparative Case Study Commentary: Critical Race Theory: A Commemoration: Response, Tanya Kateri Hernandez

Connecticut Law Review

This Commentary Article aims to illustrate the value of comparative law to the jurisprudence of Critical Race Theory (CRT), particularly with reference to the CRT project of deconstructing the mystique of "postracialism. " The central thesis of the Article is that the dangerous seductions of a U.S. ideology of "post-racialism" are more clearly identified when subject to the comparative law lens. In particular, a comparison to the Brazilian racial democracy version of "post-racialism" is an instructive platform from which to assess the advisability of promoting post-racial analyses of U.S. racial inequality. In Part I the Article introduces the value of …


Twenty Years Of Critical Race Theory: Looking Back To Move Forward Commentary: Critical Race Theory: A Commemoration: Lead Article, Kimberle Williams Crenshaw Jan 2011

Twenty Years Of Critical Race Theory: Looking Back To Move Forward Commentary: Critical Race Theory: A Commemoration: Lead Article, Kimberle Williams Crenshaw

Connecticut Law Review

This Article revisits the history of Critical Race Theory (CRT) through a prism that highlights its historical articulation in light of the emergence of postracialism. The Article will explore two central inquiries. This first query attends to the specific contours of law as the site out of which CRT emerged. The Article hypothesizes that legal discourse presented a particularly legible template from which to demystify the role of reason and the rule of law in upholding the racial order. The second objective is to explore the contemporary significance of CRT's trajectory in light of today's "post-racial" milieu. The Article posits …


Women, Vulnerability, And Humanitarian Emergencies, Fionnuala Ni Aolain Jan 2011

Women, Vulnerability, And Humanitarian Emergencies, Fionnuala Ni Aolain

Michigan Journal of Gender & Law

The catastrophic dimensions of humanitarian emergencies are increasingly understood and more visible to states and international institutions. There is greater appreciation for the social, economic and political effects that follow in the short to long term from the devastating consequences of humanitarian emergencies. There is also recognition of the gendered dimensions of humanitarian emergencies in policy and institutional contexts. It is generally acknowledged that women are overrepresented in the refugee and internally displaced communities that typically result from many humanitarian crises. Women bear acute care responsibilities in most societies and also disproportionately bear familial and communal care responsibilities in communities …

China's Compliance With International Law: What Has Been Learned And The Gaps Remaining, Roda Mushkat Jan 2011

China's Compliance With International Law: What Has Been Learned And The Gaps Remaining, Roda Mushkat

Washington International Law Journal

Chinese willingness and ability to play by the rules in the global arena is a critical issue that has long loomed large on the academic and policy agendas. A substantial body of knowledge has been built in the past two decades, shedding considerable light on key dimensions of the question. However, there is an apparent need to fine-tune the approach pursued thus far by seeking greater methodological robustness and better theoretical elucidation. Data collection procedures must be anchored more firmly in principles of scientific inquiry, providing a solid empirical foundation for reliable and valid generalizations, and single-cause explanations need to …

The "Right" To Be Trafficked, Charles Piot Jan 2011

The "Right" To Be Trafficked, Charles Piot

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

The post-Cold War dispensation in Togo, West Africa, ushered in a new lexicon of politically salient terms, among them droits de 1'homme. Initially deployed in the early 1990s by members of the political opposition to expose dictatorial abuse, this potent signifier then found its way into society at large and, spurred by NGO support, was taken up by women's groups in struggles over gender inequality. This essay explores droits de l'homme's itinerary in the villages of northern Togo where teenage children embraced the term in proclaiming their freedom from parental control. Ironically, the same children now leave their villages to …

Valera’S Morsamor As Anti-Orientalist Fiction, Thomas R. Franz Jan 2011

Valera’S Morsamor As Anti-Orientalist Fiction, Thomas R. Franz

Decimonónica

A recent study of Morsamor (1899) maintains that Valera’s last novel is anti-Muslim, anti- African, and anti-Hindu and contains a large quantity of trendy, negative “Orientalismo” calculated to justify a resurgence of Spanish imperialism over African and Eastern peoples (Torres-Pou 21–31). According to this interpretation, Morsamor is a “regenerationist” text intended to inspire a restoration of national pride through depiction of Spain’s military prowess during the Ages of Conquest and Exploration and the proposition that European cultural “superiority” was due to the alleged Hegelian-type accumulation of possibilities inherent, but lamentably truncated, in its Oriental origins (22–23). Thus Morsamor (Miguel de …


Narrative Intervention And The Black Aesthetic In Cirilo Villaverde’S Cecilia Valdés And Martín Morúa Delgado’S Sofía, Vanessa Nelsen Jan 2011

Narrative Intervention And The Black Aesthetic In Cirilo Villaverde’S Cecilia Valdés And Martín Morúa Delgado’S Sofía, Vanessa Nelsen

Decimonónica

In nineteenth-century Cuba, a politically influential group of Creole intellectuals, writers and literary critics, headed by Domingo del Monte, sought to replace the ruling Peninsular hegemony by creating a national literary institution under which they could consolidate their power. These writers would take the image of colonial Cuba, as established in Peninsular art and literature, and reinvent it through strategic alteration as a national literature. Del Monte stressed the importance of developing a writing style conducive to the representation of an independent Cuba that differed from the idealized Peninsular image in which Cuba appeared as a colonizer’s utopia or a …


"The Universal Alliance Of All Peoples": Romantic Socialists, The Human Family, And The Defense Of Empire During The July Monarchy, 1830-1848, Naomi J. Andrews Jan 2011

"The Universal Alliance Of All Peoples": Romantic Socialists, The Human Family, And The Defense Of Empire During The July Monarchy, 1830-1848, Naomi J. Andrews

History

This article documents the procolonial rhetoric among romantic socialists in France during the July Monarchy (1830-48), demonstrating its pervasiveness. It argues that these years must be highlighted as key to the transition from eighteenth-century universalist ideas of humanity toward taxonomies of national, racial, and sexual difference that underpinned the rationale of empire in the second half of the nineteenth century. It explores the views on colonialism espoused by socialists such as Etienne Cabet, Pierre Leroux, Constantin Pecqueur, and Jean Reynaud; situates them in the broad socialist consensus on empire; and demonstrates the relationship between these men's socialism and their colonialism. …

Broadening Conceptions Of What Constitutes Knowledge And Evidence In Sotl, Sharon Thomas Jan 2011

Broadening Conceptions Of What Constitutes Knowledge And Evidence In Sotl, Sharon Thomas

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

In the two decades since the publication of Boyer’s (1990) seminal work, the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) has earned an increasingly venerable reputation as a legitimate area of scholarship. What remains contentious, however, is the form that such scholarship takes. Despite the publication of numerous books and articles lauding alternative epistemologies, SoTL advocates regularly have to defend their approaches. The purpose of this essay is to encourage higher education practitioners to broaden their conceptions of what constitutes knowledge and evidence in SoTL. An epistemological discussion, it aims to provide a strong theoretical framework within which SoTL practitioners can …

Harmonizing Through Judicial Review: Statutory Interpretation And Participation In Sub-Arctic Resource Management, Sari M. Graben Jan 2011

Harmonizing Through Judicial Review: Statutory Interpretation And Participation In Sub-Arctic Resource Management, Sari M. Graben

Comparative Research in Law & Political Economy

This article describes how statutory interpretation by the courts can impact the effectiveness of co-management initiatives in Canada. Canada has recently undertaken a massive restructuring of the administrative regimes that license and permit resource development across the country to better incorporate Indigenous participation. These co-management boards now take part in governing resource use across Canada and most recognizably in parts of British Columbia, the Yukon Territories, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Nevertheless, the degree to which Indigenous participation may impact the regulatory output of co-management boards remains uncertain in law. This article uses one co-management statute in Canada, the Mackenzie …


Transnational Law, Evolving, Peer Zumbansen Jan 2011

Transnational Law, Evolving, Peer Zumbansen

Comparative Research in Law & Political Economy

This chapter is the substantively revised and expanded version of the original contribution to the first edition of the Elgar Encyclopedia of Comparative Law (J. Smits, ed., 2006). It reviews and discusses the theoretical scholarship on the concept of transnational law, going back to Philip Jessup’s introduction of the term in the nineteen-fifties and tracing it to the present day. The chapter highlights the relevance and potential of the idea of transnational in a range of fields, including commercial law (lex mercatoria), corporate law, international human rights law, comparative constitutional law, anthropology, and ‘global administrative law’. The chapter concludes with …


International Arbitration: A New Mechanism To Settle Intra-State Territorial Disputes Between States And Secessionist Movements? - The Divorce Of Sudan And South Sudan And The Abyei Question, Cindy Daase Jan 2011

International Arbitration: A New Mechanism To Settle Intra-State Territorial Disputes Between States And Secessionist Movements? - The Divorce Of Sudan And South Sudan And The Abyei Question, Cindy Daase

Comparative Research in Law & Political Economy

In 2008, the Government of Sudan (GoS) and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A) submitted an arbitration agreement with the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in The Hague. In a unique fast track procedure, an international arbitration tribunal had to determine in accordance with the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) of 2005, in particular the Abyei Protocol and Abyei Appendix, the Interim National Constitution (INC) and general principles of law, whether the Abyei Border Commission (ABC) exceeded its mandate, which was to define and demarcate the area of the nine Ngok Dinka chiefdoms transferred to Kordofan in 1905.
