Abstract

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.

约翰娜·拉奇姆(Johannah Latchem)于2018年在泰恩河畔纽卡斯尔市政厅(guilhall)展出了一个以法庭为基础的艺术装置“求爱权力”(求爱权力)，该装置探索了市政厅独特法庭的声学和建筑是如何让参与司法过程的人沉默或促进声音的。在对法庭丰富的声学历史进行调查时，采用了艺术和科学的方法，这些方法与“镇上的女人”Margaret Hebbron的审判和判决的微观研究有关。对Margaret Hebbron的审判和定罪的讨论和分析是以法庭为基础的艺术装置及其发展的核心，并展示了采用综合方法鼓励共鸣的优点，为今天的观众。《追求权力》和本文中的讨论都是跨学科的，并借鉴了美术、声学科学和法律史方面以实践为主导的研究。

期刊介绍： Law and Humanities is a peer-reviewed journal, providing a forum for scholarly discourse within the arts and humanities around the subject of law. For this purpose, the arts and humanities disciplines are taken to include literature, history (including history of art), philosophy, theology, classics and the whole spectrum of performance and representational arts. The remit of the journal does not extend to consideration of the laws that regulate practical aspects of the arts and humanities (such as the law of intellectual property). Law and Humanities is principally concerned to engage with those aspects of human experience which are not empirically quantifiable or scientifically predictable. Each issue will carry four or five major articles of between 8,000 and 12,000 words each. The journal will also carry shorter papers (up to 4,000 words) sharing good practice in law and humanities education; reports of conferences; reviews of books, exhibitions, plays, concerts and other artistic publications.
