Nationism and John Quincy Adams’ Argument in the Amistad Case, or “Who Speaks for the Nation?”
Eleven years after he completed his one-term presidency, John Adams argued the slave trade case Amistad (1841) before the U.S. Supreme Court. A variety of historical judgments have been rendered on his speech, none of which has engaged with the argument’s interface with his dedication to nation-making and the Union. Capitalizing on a cache of diplomatic correspondence related to the case, advisory letters, and analysis of the supreme court argume…
A Tale of a Whiskey Rebellion Judge
The Whiskey Rebellion of 1794 resulted in trials in the federal Circuit Court in Philadelphia in April–June 1795. US Supreme Court Justice William Paterson, who presided in several of those trials, has been represented as a partisan Federalist judge whose directed charge to the jury resulted in a treason verdict in two of those cases ( U.S. v. Mitchell and U.S.v. Vigol ). Sparse law reports, among other limited materials, provide little direct ev…
Legal Practice and Pragmatics in the Law
Split at the Root
A cultural rescripting of representational texts has produced new forms and practices of life, a new way of seeing and resultant shifts in the legal positions of the players in the abortion debate, in particular the pregnant woman and the foetus. The new representational imagery that arises has a rehabilitative effect on foetal rights narratives as well as a reframing effect on women's rights narratives, and, ultimately, on the ways those new set…
Race-ing Representation
This collection takes on the problem of representing race in the context of a master language and culture. These essays discuss this problem in terms of the ongoing struggle to redefine the self as speaker, that is, to re-construe our understanding of history, sexuality, and speech itself in a continuing battle for self-definition. As a totality, these essays explode the notion of race as a natural boundary between groups and pose a variety of po…

Historical Source Material for the Karagkiozis Performance
Karagkiozis, or Greek shadow puppet theatre, is a theatrical form that reflects nineteenth-century Greek oral culture. It utilizes a variety of national and regional costumes, dialects, and manners. Having developed in Greece during the period of that nation's modern history, it expresses the continuity of Greek culture and carries its themes, scenes of daily life, and characters. It retains, moreover, vestiges, or perhaps more accurately resurge…
Greek Resistance Theatre in World War II
The Greek resistance movement, supported and directed by EAM (Ethnikon Apeleftherotikon Metopon—the National Liberation Front) in the mountains of Greece under the German occupation of World War II, spawned a popular resistance theatre that schooled itself among the people and brought a measure of political enlightenment to peasants in the mountain villages, who had small exposure to theatre. Those who went to market saw some Karaghiozis—Greek sh…
The Karaghiozis Performance in Nineteenth-Century Greece
Out of the vacuum of the sparsely developed dramatic environment of nineteenth-century Greece grew a performance totally unrelated to the largely literary and western-European oriented theatre of Athens under the influence of the king and his court. It was a performance which, unlike the literary theatre, aroused the interest of the common man through its use of folk tales, anecdotes, songs, dialects, costumes and characters as the basis of its p…
