  • On Cameras, Videos, and Law

    Julie Stone PetersARTICLEPublic Culture2026

    Today, to be “before the law” is to be before the camera: police cameras, security cameras, our ubiquitous phone cameras. It is to become a legal subject through the kaleidoscopic lawscape that appears on our screens. This essay is, first, an attempt to map out a larger project on what twenty-first-century cameras, videos, and streaming media mean for law: as vehicles of evidence, actors in evolving legal practices, subjects of juridical analysis…

  • Tragic Staging as Critique in the War Crimes Tribunal

    Julie Stone PetersARTICLELaw & Literature2025

    Slobodan Praljak’s dramatic suicide before the ICTY news cameras acted as a protest: against the verdict that labeled him “war criminal”; against the international legal regime generally. A theatre director-turned-general, Praljak defied the tribunal’s portrayal of “the banality of evil” by casting himself as a revolutionary tragic hero. This essay explores his critique of the ICTY, the dramatic texts that informed it, and his suicide as its culm…

  • Theatre, Theatrocracy, and the Politics of Pathos in the Athenian Lawcourt

    Julie Stone PetersCHAPTERLaw As Performance2022

    This chapter explores ancient Greek debates about the value and meaning of performance in the Athenian lawcourt. It looks at the ancient trope of the lawcourt as theatre, the poetics of lawcourt performance, and a set of conflicting views on the use and abuse of theatre, hypokrisis, opsis , and pathos for law. It then turns to a close examination of key passages in Plato, Aristotle, and “Pseudo-Andocides.” These texts offer an alternative to stan…

  • Staging the Last Judgment in the Trial of Charles I

    Julie Stone PetersARTICLERepresentations2018

    The trial of Charles I (said mid-seventeenth-century radical Protestants) was "a Resemblance and Representation of the great day of Judgement." Situating the trial in its theological and iconographic context, viewing it as an expression of broader Puritan performance culture, this essay offers a close reading of its staging, arguing that we should view the assertion that the trial resembled Judgment Day not as an abstract theological aspiration b…

  • Legal Performance Good and Bad

    Open AccessJulie Stone PetersARTICLELaw Culture and the Humanities2008Cited by: 7

    “Performance” and “performativity” have become central terms in the discussion of legal identity over the past decade or two, and “performance” and “theatricality” figure in a number of theoretical writings on law. This essay reviews these discussions, looking at the ways in which they construe legal performance and assessing what they have to say about its nature, meaning, and consequences for the law. Diagnosing a split in the critical literatu…

  • Theatre of the Book 1480–1880

    Julie Stone PetersBOOKTheatre of the Book 1480-18802003

    This is an account of the entangled histories of print and the theatre in Europe between the Renaissance and the late 19th century: a history of European dramatic publication (providing comparative and historical perspective to the growing field of textual studies); an examination of the creation of the modern notion of text and performance; and a comparative genealogy of ideas about theatrical and textual reception. It shows that, far from being…

  • Scenic Pictures

    Julie Stone PetersCHAPTERTheatre of the Book 1480-18802003

    This chapter examines the theatre's use of the pictorial image, discussing the dramatist's attempt to harness both the descriptive power of the novel and the emotional power of the picture through the lavish scenic and character indications of the 18th- and 19th-century text.
