International comparison of gender differences in the five-factor model of personality
Inadmissible Evidence
“A trial and a literary text,” Shoshana Felman once noted, “do not aim at the same kind of conclusion, nor do they strive toward the same kind of effect. A trial is presumed to be a search for truth, but technically it is a search for a decision; and thus. . . it seeks not truth but finality: a force of resolution.” Literature, on the other hand, Felman posits, is characterized by “a search for meaning. . . for heightened significance, for symbol…
No Two Men Were Ever Alike Within”
While not entirely out of the norms of Victorian judicial practice, Lord Chief Justice Cockburn’s summing-up of the evidence in Regina v. Castro, aka Arthur Orton, aka Roger Tichborne was extraordinary for its length and detail, as well as for its narrative and rhetorical force. This article examines Cockburn’s summing-up to the jury, arguing that while it is revealing of nineteenth-century British conceptions of identity, it also uncovers the in…
Antifeminism in the Service of Anticlericalism in Sir David Lindsay's Ane Satyre of the Thrie Estaitis
Sir David Lindsay's Scottish drama, Ane Satyre of the Thrie Estaitis (1552-54), includes striking portrayals of uncontrollable women, from noblewoman Dame Sensualitie's usurpation of the Scottish king's secular power on behalf of the Catholic Church to Foly's wife, whose Rabelaisian bodily functions are a visceral metaphor for the disordered state of late medieval Scotland. Despite the theatrical power of such misogynistic stereotypes, antifemini…
Mourning and Metonymy
Mourning and Metonymy
Drucilla Cornell's Legacies of Dignity: Between Women and Generations proposes a feminist ethics of self-representation that asks what exclusions are necessary to autobiography's constructions of identity. Focusing on the ways in which alterity, particularly linked with figures of the mother, are silenced, it advances a mourning that is transformational. I question Cornell's use of a Kantian concept of dignity and suggest that Irigaray's engageme…
Anti-racism, multiculturalism and the ethics of identification
In theoritical and political writings, multiculturalism is most frequently understood in the language of recognition. Multiculturalist initiatives responds to the demands of minority cultures for political and cultural recognition so long denied them with devastating effects. In this article, we argue that the politics of recognition may have implicit dangers. In so far as it is articulated as a demand placed upon a dominant group and integrally …
