Perception And Decision At The Threshold Of Tort Law: Explaining The Infrequency Of Claims, David M. Engel
Perception And Decision At The Threshold Of Tort Law: Explaining The Infrequency Of Claims, David M. Engel
Journal Articles
Although numerous studies have confirmed that tort victims rarely litigate and that most simply "lump" their losses, we lack an understanding of why this should be so. Why do the vast majority of injured persons choose inaction over action? Explanations relying on rational actor theories on the one hand or cultural determinism on the other have been sharply challenged by recent studies of mind, culture, and cognition, particularly with respect to individual responses to physical trauma and disablement. This article, drawing on a broad interdisciplinary literature dealing with injury victims, proposes a new model of perception and decision by persons …
Animal Frontiers: A Tale Of Three Zoos In Israel/Palestine, Irus Braverman
Animal Frontiers: A Tale Of Three Zoos In Israel/Palestine, Irus Braverman
Journal Articles

Through in-depth interviews with personnel from these three zoos, this article tracks the material and symbolic identities of three zoo animals. Yet the article is not just about animals; it is also a story about nationalism and its clandestine manifestations in ideologies of conservation. I argue here that alongside the straightforward story about sustaining wildlife, Israeli zoos’ control of zoo …

Animal Mobilegalities: The Regulation Of Animal Movement In The American City, Irus Braverman
Journal Articles
The initial focus of “animobility” scholarship has been on the dynamic physical geographies of animals. This article extends the meaning of animobility to explore the ways in which animals are affected — and, in fact, constituted — by law, as well as the ways in which they affect and constitute law, which I call “mobilegalities.” Specifically, I ask how animobility in contemporary American cities translates into the animals’ legal mobility, and how laws can adapt to animobility and the ensuing mobilegality by setting “traps” that then immobilize the animals. This article demonstrates, finally, that law is not a static narrative …
