Hyear Come De Parade: The History of the Black Mardi Gras Tradition in Baton Rouge
The aim of this thesis to emphasize the importance the role of photography in preserving and archiving cultural memories and histories as well as demonstrate the impact of digital archives. Using archival materials such as local newspapers and press photographs, this thesis offers, for the first time, the history of the African American Mardi Gras parading tradition in Baton Rouge between the years 1910 through 1941. This thesis, too, provides an…
Understanding conflict-related sexual violence and the ‘everyday’ experience of conflict through witness testimonies
The testimonies of witnesses who testify before criminal courts provide crucial insights into the situated experience of conflict-related sexual violence. Witness testimonies highlight the complex realities and everyday lives of individuals caught up in situations of armed conflict. The evidence presented by witnesses can provide vital insights into lived experiences of wartime violence, and reveal the seemingly mundane strategies and tactics ado…
Building National and Regional Accountability for Conflict Related Sexual Violence
The jurisdiction of the African Court of Justice and Human and Peoples’ Rights ( acjhpr ) will include international crimes of conflict-related sexual violence ( crsv ). This article explores the challenges the Court is likely to face in building regional and national accountability for crsv , by considering the lessons that might be learnt from the experiences of the former Yugoslavia in prosecuting these crimes. The article focuses on the two k…
Producing Knowledge in the Field of Sexual Violence in Armed Conflict Research: Objects, Methods, Politics, and Gender Justice Methodology
Conflict-related sexual violence is now a conspicuous concern of academics, activists, and practitioners. However, a number of central and persistent conceptual and political problems are becoming increasingly evident in this burgeoning research field. This paper analyzes these key problems of knowledge production in the field, which concern the object and subject of research, models of knowing, and values in research. This paper then outlines th…
Gender Justice Beyond the Tribunals: From Criminal Accountability to Transformative Justice
What are the legacies for gender justice of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR)? Darryl Robinson and Gillian MacNeil in this symposium describe the modernization of the law on sexual violence as a key legacy of the ad hoc international criminal tribunals. However, this characterization does not capture the wider challenges that gender based crimes have rais…
Testemunhar o trauma: Das formas legais às formas transformadoras no testemunho sobre a violência sexual em tempo de guerra na ex-Jugoslávia
Como dão as testemunhas conta dos traumas de guerra perante a lei? Que formas de narrativas assumem estes testemunhos no campo jurídico? Este artigo explora três modos diferentes de testemunhar os crimes de guerra, centrando-se em conflitos relacionados com violência sexual. Os dois primeiros testemunhos surgem no âmbito da lei internacional. São depoimentos de vítimas-testemunhas e testemunhos coletivos, que o texto descreve por meio de dois cas…
The city of law
There is now a well-established ‘spatial turn in law’. However, it remains oriented towards notions of space rather than law. How, then, to capture both the spatiality of law and the legality of space? This article draws on Bruno Latour's concept of the legal construction of the ‘social’ to explore the assemblage of the city of law. It shows how law functions as a particular form of association in urban life by tracing two key forms of urban lega…
The Making of Global Legal Culture and International Criminal Law
It is commonly agreed that international criminal law (ICL) is a ‘hybrid’ legal culture, which mixes the legal traditions of the common law and civil law. However, the precise nature of this legal culture remains a contentious legal and theoretical issue. The paper identifies the two dominant models of ICL within these debates as either a clash of cultures or a sui generis system, and shows how neither satisfactorily engages with the concept of l…
The Laws of Memory: The Icty, the Archive, and Transitional Justice
The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) has generated huge archival holdings. With the ICTY’s impending closure, the archive has become part of broader debates regarding its legacy for the former Yugoslavia. In particular, the memorial function of this archive has now become highly contentious. Ultimately, these concern the relationship between law and collective memory. This article uses the example of the ICTY archi…
After '68: The Left and Twenty-First Century Political Projects
In broad terms '1968' still stands as a signifier of social and political radicalism. Workers' mass action and students' protests signal an age of powerful labour and politicised youth; the impassioned commitments of 'engaged intellectual' and citizen alike show a synergy between the life of the mind and activism; fierce philosophical debates illustrate the vitality of ideas; and the expansive critical vision and hope reaching throughout the soci…
The Balance of Terror: Torture, Terrorism, and Security
In December 2004, the Bush Administration released a memorandum outlining its current legal position on the use of torture, Legal Standards Applicable Under 18 U.S.C. SEC. 2340-2340A, which stated that is abhorrent to both American law and values and to international norms. The Levin Memo superseded the most notorious of the Administration’s policy documents on torture, the memorandum of August 2002 from Jay S. Bybee, then Assistant Attorney Gene…
The spoils of war
Antony Beevor's Berlin: The Downfall 1945 has been an international best-selling history of the fall of Berlin to Soviet troops in 1945. Now published in paperback, Beevor's magisterial narrative of Berlin's downfall has become a leading work of contemporary popular history. The public discussion of this book has been dominated by two themes: first, the ‘normalization’ of the suffering of German civilians and, second, the ‘disclosure’ of mass rap…
The Promise of Feminist Reflexivities: Developing Donna Haraway's Project for Feminist Science Studies
This paper explores models of reflexive feminist science studies through the work of Donna Haraway. The paper argues that Haraway provides an important account of science studies that is both feminist and constructivist. However, her concepts of “situated knowledges” and “diffraction” need further development to be adequate models of feminist science studies. To develop this constructivist and feminist project requires a collective research progr…
Jacques Lacan and Feminist Epistemology
This book outlines a compelling new agenda for feminist theories of identity and social relations. Using Lacanian psychoanalysis with feminist epistemology, the author sets out a groundbreaking psychoanalytic social theory. Campbell's work offers answers to the important contemporary question of how feminism can change the formation of gendered subjectivities and social relations. Drawing on the work of third wave feminists, the book shows how fe…

The Trauma of Justice: Sexual Violence, Crimes Against Humanity and The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia
This article explores the relationship between the concepts of trauma and justice in the jurisprudence of crimes against humanity of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, focusing upon cases of sexual violence. It argues that the Tribunal’s jurisprudence conceives this crime as a traumatic violation of both the subject of rights and of universal humanity. The Tribunal’s models of international justice as procedure, punish…

Legal Memories: Sexual Assault, Memory, and International Humanitarian Law
The politics of kinship
Judith Butler’s Antigone’s Claim explores our most intimate ties to others – the ties of kinship. Antigone’s Claim explores the politics of kinship through a reading of the figure of Antigone. For Butler, Antigone represents a crisis of the Oedipal order of kinship, revealing the possibility of new forms of kinship itself. Butler presents a persuasive and moving argument for the necessity of changes in our conception and practice of kinship. Howe…
