How The Establishment Clause Can Influence Substantive Due Process: Adultery Bans After Lawrence, Andrew D. Cohen

Fordham Law Review

Criminal adultery bans, despite widespread transgression and lax enforcement, remain on the books in a substantial minority of states. The landmark Lawrence v. Texas decision casts doubt on all state interference with consensual sexual activity among adults, including adultery bans. Additionally, adultery bans on their face implicate the Establishment Clause, due to adultery bans' and marriage's roots in religious doctrine and religiosity. This Note examines the constitutionality of adultery bans after Lawrence v. Texas, and proposes a novel approach to substantive due process analysis that applies Establishment Clause values. In proposing what this Note dubs the "Establishment Clause prism," through …

Preemption, Patchwork Immigration Laws, And The Potential For Brown Sundown Towns, Maria Marulanda

Fordham Law Review

The raging debate about comprehensive immigration reform is ripe ground to overhaul federal exclusivity in the immigration context and move toward a cooperative federal and state-local model. The proliferation of immigration-related ordinances at the state and local level reflects “lawful” attempts to enforce immigration law to conserve limited resources for citizens and legal residents. Although the federal immigration statutes contemplate state and local involvement, the broad federal preemption model used to analyze immigration laws displaces many state-local ordinances, resulting in frustration at the inability to enforce the community’s resolve that is manifested through violence against Latino immigrants. Broad federal preemption …

A Case Study In Frontier Warfare: Racial Violence, Revenge, And The Ambush At Fort Laurens, Ohio, Kyle Somerville

Journal of Contemporary Anthropology

In February of 1779, a combined British and Native American raiding party ambushed a small group of American soldiers at an isolated fort on the Ohio frontier. The attack resulted in the deaths of at least 13 soldiers, many of who died from massive head injuries that, to modern researchers, do not appear to have been tactically necessary. However, rather than being an isolated instance of savagery or wartime atrocity this paper considers the ideological and cultural bases of violence behind the trauma, and will argue that the Fort Laurens ambush was just one example of violence in a long …

Ambiguous Assessment: Critiquing The Anthropology Graduate Admissions Process, Elizabeth A. Marks

Journal of Contemporary Anthropology

This article presents a survey of admissions processes employed by 43 American anthropologydepartments. Motivated by a desire to begin a dialogue about how candidates can be better prepared tosubmit an application, and to assess how individual departments make admissions decisions, I conducteda survey of faculty within these departments using both email and a web-based survey tool. Additionally,I spoke to prospective doctoral student users of a particular online forum– thegradcafe.com– to assesstheir understanding of the process and their confidence about admissions. Herein, I further attempt toexplain why a transparent admissions process is in the interest of anthropology graduate programs, andsuggest how …

Too 'High' Tech: Metonymical Fallacies And Fetishism In The Perception Of Technology, Aníbal García Arregui

Journal of Contemporary Anthropology

This paper suggests that technology is excessively ‘high’ in two senses. The first sense refers to a high level of logical or grammatical abstraction: artifacts and machines are designated (in medias, everyday and scientific discourses) as ‘technology’, a word that etymologically refers to the knowledge surrounding those artifacts. Following the Logical Types Theory, the fact of designating concrete artifacts with the level of abstraction which corresponds to the totality containing those artifacts, leads us into metonymical or “vicious circle fallacies” (Whitehead & Russell, 1962). The second sense of ‘highness’ is symbolic. Recent works on Anthropology of Technology show that machines …

The Intersection Of Tort And Environmental Law: Where The Twains Should Meet And Depart, Mark Latham, Victor E. Schwartz, Christopher E. Appel

Fordham Law Review

The explosion of environmental statutes over the past forty years, giving rise to the field of environmental law, has created a critical and evolving question in our legal system as to how this comparatively new field of law intersects with the common law of torts. Defining the proper role of tort law in remedying environmental injuries is an important matter of public policy; the answer will determine what the tort system can and cannot achieve, inform what it should and should not achieve, and clarify which common law enforcement areas are actually voids. This information assists the judiciary on its …

The Writing On The Stall: Graffiti, Vandalism, And Social Expression, Brett Wolff

Kaleidoscope

Graffiti and vandalism are everywhere in the modern city; they seem to be part of the typical urban background. While graffiti are usually associated with concrete walls, bridges and train cars, one particular area of focus of vandalistic writing is the walls and stalls of public bathrooms. This area, for both obvious, and sometimes unclear reasons, is a popular forum for anyone wanting to write. This project was conducted with the intent of better understanding these somewhat ubiquitous and seemingly mundane scribbles. As the first step toward this goal, a literature review of approaches to vandalism was conducted. This theoretical …
