ABSTRACT This article surveys the ways in which contemporary Greek poetry unveils human rights abuses in Greek society in order to push for law and social policy reforms that protect gender identity, expression, and freedom as well as holding governments and institutions accountable for their enforcement. In the context of feminist, anti-fascist, and queer rights activism in Greek culture and society, this analysis discusses how poetry that exposes femicide and queer violence challenges the provisions of both Greek law and the universality of human rights. Stemming from post-human feminist and queer critiques of dominant ethno-patriarchal structures, poetry becomes a medium of collective mourning, public commemoration, and justice-seeking for victims of hate crime, homophobia, racism, and misogyny. For the past decade, such interventions have reinforced the formation of a counter-archive of poetry responding to the aftermath of violence and hatred levelled at LGBTQ communities, women, and immigrants in Greece. Aiming at rendering visible the lives and deaths of victims of gender-based violence such as Zak Kostopoulos/ Zackie Oh, Eleni Topaloudi, and Vaggelis Giakoumakis, this article seeks also to examine how the horizon of poetry can be reformulated as one of social sustainability that interrogates the crisis of biopolitical survival.

Contradictions swirl around the existing scholarship devoted to the study of women and the law in medieval England. Some scholars stress women’s limited legal status in the medieval common law, with particular focus on the debilitating effects of the common law doctrine of coverture, which stripped women of their independent legal status on marriage. Others point to evidence of medieval women negotiating the boundaries of patriarchal legal structures in jurisdictions that did not necessarily follow common law, with courts that practiced equity, ecclesiastical and customary law allowing women to sue or be sued, regardless of their marital status. InWomen in the Medieval Common Law, c. 1200-1500, Gwen Seabourne takes a rather different view. Instead of focusing on definitive or authoritative statements on the legal position of women in the medieval common law, or uncovering exceptional women rebelling against the constraints imposed upon them by common law, Seabourne suggests that we should take a more measured approach and meet somewhere in the middle. In her new book, Seabourne argues that medieval lawyers and legal thinkers did not necessarily think of women’s legal actions based on definitive and authoritative statements of fixed rules, even in common law jurisdictions. When we consider the inherent complexities of common law thinking in medieval England, a more nuanced picture of women in the medieval common law emerges. This book addresses a major lacunae in present research by complicating our understanding of the treatment of women in the medieval common law in England and, in particular, the complex roots of the common law doctrine of coverture. In her introduction, Seabourne explains how she carefully gathered scattered statements about the treatment and position of women in common law sources including statutes and other legislative acts, records of the courts of common law, law reports and legal writings in order to stitch together a more nuanced, complete picture that challenges long-standing assumptions of

ABSTRACT The Bosnian War elicited a substantial number of poetic responses from Irish poets, writing in both English and in Irish. This article focuses on one frequently anthologized poem in particular, namely the poem ‘Dubh’ [‘Black’] by Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, written on the fall of Srebrenica, 11 July 1995. A close reading of this poem is set in the context of both the United Nations response to the war in Bosnia and the Irish government’s response. Relevant legal instruments and sources of international law are referenced to illuminate those aspects of the poem that evidence a penetrating analysis of events in Srebrenica. This article contends that poetry that responds to human rights violations should not be understood in terms of empathy and affect alone; such poetry can fulfil an analytical function that serves to hold the human rights regime itself to account.

ABSTRACT This article examines a series of poems by contemporary Irish authors writing in English, and focuses on the role of media technology in considering post-human ethics and human rights issues in these poems. Human rights discourse has faced the challenge of addressing the broadening of the category of ‘human’ through post-human ethics and aesthetics. What is therefore needed is a consideration of how the sphere or concept of human rights can encompass what Rosi Braidotti describes as ‘post-human subjects of knowledge – embedded, embodied and yet flowing in a web of relations with human and non-human others’. This theoretical framework informs the article's discussion of selected poems, how these poems approach human rights conflicts and violations in a distinctively post-human context, and how different manifestations of media technology shape and reflect such discussions. Poetry, technology, and the post-human subject are understood as equally embedded in the material, cultural, and political assemblages within which human rights and post-human ethics also emerge.

ABSTRACT In Donoghue v Stevenson, Lord Atkin in the majority perceived the Christian principle of loving one’s neighbour to require a duty of reasonable care to the neighbour, who was [a person who is] ‘so closely and directly affected by my act that I ought reasonably to have them in contemplation as being so affected when I am directing my mind to the acts or omissions which are called in question’. In Liversidge v Anderson his Lordship held in dissent that ‘In England amidst the clash of arms the laws are not silent. They may be changed, but they speak the same language in war as in peace. It has always been one of the pillars of freedom, one of the principles of liberty for which, on recent authority, we are now fighting, that the judges are no respecters of persons, and stand between the subject and any attempted encroachments on his liberty by the executive, alert to see that any coercive action is justified in law’. Lord Atkin was a practising Christian, and both statements appear to have biblical roots. As no-one seems to have done before, this paper brings an exegetical focus to those roots to see whether or not they provide support for Lord Atkin’s approach in each case.
在多诺霍诉史蒂文森案(Donoghue v Stevenson)中，阿特金勋爵(Lord Atkin)在多数意见中认为，基督教爱邻居的原则要求对邻居有合理注意的义务，因为邻居是一个“受到我的行为如此密切和直接影响的人，以至于当我把注意力集中在被质疑的行为或不作为上时，我应该合理地让他们在沉思中受到如此影响”。在利弗西奇诉安德森案中，法官大人持不同意见，认为“在英格兰，在武装冲突中，法律并非沉默。”他们可能会改变，但他们在战争中说的是同一种语言。这一直是自由的支柱之一，是我们现在以最近的权威为之奋斗的自由原则之一，法官不尊重个人，站在主体和行政机关对其自由的任何企图侵犯之间，警惕地看到任何强制行动在法律上是正当的。”阿特金勋爵是一名虔诚的基督徒，这两句话似乎都有圣经的根源。在此之前似乎没有人做过这样的事情，这篇论文对这些根源进行了注释，看看它们是否在每种情况下都为阿特金勋爵的方法提供了支持。

ABSTRACT It is the purpose of this article to examine the treatment of actors (and other ‘outlaws’) by the state in the late Elizabethan and early Jacobean period, with the intention of exploring the general theme of ‘otherness’ and the particular role of the legal institution in regulating and reforming the image of the citizen or subject of law in post-Reformation, English society. I refer throughout to seminal, primary sources on the subject (especially) of theatre. I draw on several contemporaneous, polemical works (notably The Schoole of Abuse by Stephen Gosson and The Anatomie of Abuses by Phillip Stubbes), most of which demonstrate an iconoclastic attitude towards the theatrical image, consonant with devout Protestant opposition to idolatry. In the second half of the article, I examine prevailing and pressing concerns surrounding plague and disease, which I interpret as metaphors for a diseased and decaying society, in urgent need of reform. I make extensive reference here to Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure, and its thinly veiled allusions to the social and political ills of Jacobean society. I conclude with the observation that Shakespeare’s Vienna provides a depiction of an ossified state, in which the plight of the underprivileged, the poor, and the oppressed is ignored by an autocratic and self-serving ruler. The parallels with Jacobean society and its magistracy are compelling.

ABSTRACT Courting Power, a courtroom-based art installation by Johannah Latchem presented in the Guildhall, Newcastle upon Tyne in 2018 explored how the acoustics and architecture of the unique courtroom at the Guildhall silenced or facilitated the voices of those involved in its judicial processes. Artistic and scientific approaches were employed in the investigation of the court’s abundant acoustic history and these were linked to a micro-study of the trial and sentence of Margaret Hebbron, a ‘woman of the town’. The discussion and analysis of the trial and conviction of Margaret Hebbron were central to the courtroom-based art installation and its development and demonstrate the merits of adopting an integrative approach to encourage resonance, for today’s audiences. Both Courting Power, and the discussion in this paper, are cross-disciplinary and draw upon practice-led research in fine art, acoustic science, and legal history.

ABSTRACT The protagonist of Kadare’s novel Broken April, set in the North Albanian Plateau, is required to kill his brother’s murderer according to the rules of the Kanun, a customary code of law according to which blood must be avenged, sometimes leading to generations of vendetta. In this context, the paper discusses the themes of hospitality and the blood feud in the novel, both of which play an important role in the Kanun, from the perspective of Derrida’s concepts of unconditional hospitality and autoimmunity.
