The Confluence of Rhetoric and Emotion
This essay argues that the history of rhetoric is a crucial resource for illuminating the theoretical importance of emotion in, for instance, reasoning, reading, knowing, acting, and judging. Taking its cue from two recent histories of rhetoric – Rita Copeland’s Emotion and the History of Rhetoric in the Middle Ages (2021), and Benedict Robinson’s Passion’s Fictions from Shakespeare to Richardson (2021), which together trace thirteen centuries of…
El jinete de la capa roja
Born in 1973 in Bogotá, where she lives and works. After studying mechanical engineering, she graduated in fine arts from the National University of Colombia. Recognized for multiple residencies, exhibitions, and national and international collections, her work stands out for a continuous interest in themes related to nature, particularly trees as complex worlds. She spends part of her time at her home on Lake Tota, a place that inspires the seri…
The Poetics and Politics of Custom
What role does the poetics of custom play in Renaissance literature? Stephanie Elsky's wonderful new book offers an extended meditation on this question. Recovering a sense of custom that requires pulling aside the curtain of modernity, Elsky shows just how fecund, how fertile, and how enabling of rhetorical invention and literary play is this older sense of custom. In large part, this fecundity lies in the particular temporality of that premoder…
Oxford Handbook of Law and Humanities
How does materiality matter to legal scholarship? What can affect studies offer to legal scholars? What are the connections among visual studies, art history, and the knowledge and experience of law? What can the disciplines of book history, digital humanities, performance studies, disability studies, and post-colonial studies contribute to contemporary and historical understandings of law? These are only some of the important questions addressed…
The Oxford Handbook of Law and Humanities
How might law matter to the humanities? How might the humanities matter to law? In its approach to both of these questions, The Oxford Handbook of Law and Humanities shows how rich a resource the law is for humanistic study, as well as how and why the humanities are vital for understanding law. Tackling questions of method, key themes, and concepts and a variety of genres and areas of the law, this collection of chapters by leading scholars from …

Must We Play to Win? A Reply to Morgan
This paper offers a brief reply to William Morgan’s critique of my review of Andrei Marmor’s Social Conventions (2009). Morgan’s principal critique is that I am wrong to think that the constitutive rules of games do not determine their aims and values. In particular, with regards to chess, Morgan argues that the rules of chess determine that the aim of playing chess is to win the game. I defend my position that one can play the game of chess with…
Exemplarity and Narrativity in the Common Law Tradition
This paper argues that for the purposes of analyzing legal reasoning, exemplarity is profitably understood as a complex concept with the following dimensions: first, typicality; second, atypicality; and third, modelling for the future. These dimensions can also be usefully thought of in temporal terms: typicality is backward-looking, atypicality is present-regarding, and modelling is future-oriented. Any instance of exemplarity delicately balance…
The Smithian Categorical Imperative
This paper offers a sympathetically critical discussion of one of the central features of Neil MacCormick’s last book, Practical Reason in Law and Morality (2008), namely, what he called ‘the Smithian Categorical Imperative’ (SCI). The SCI is presented by MacCormick as a synthesis of the best of Immanuel Kant and Adam Smith’s contributions to moral philosophy. The paper proceeds in three parts: the first two are dedicated to articulating and eval…
Marmor’s Social Conventions
This essay argues that the practical reason approach to the study of social conventions (and social normativity more generally) fails to adequately account for the fluency of social action in environments that we experience as familiar. The practical reason approach, articulated most recently in Andrei Marmor’s Social Conventions: From Language to Law (2009) does help us, though not wholly adequately, to understand how we tend to react to, and ex…
System Values and Understanding Legal Language
This paper argues that the concerns and methodology of the recently completed Report of the International Law Commission (ILC) over the fragmentation of international law presuppose a particular way of understanding legal language which tends to separate the understanding of rules from their factual adaptability to certain recurring social problems faced within specific institutional contexts. The paper argues that separating rules from their fac…
