This condition, Derrida asserts, allows literature to do what he calls “play the law.” This idea is then taken up in a reading of a Baudelaire prose poem, “An Heroic Death,” in which a mime condemned to death for plotting against the throne performs before the sovereign and dies mid-performance when this prince engineers a rude interruption. The questions raised about this event by the poem’s narrator and left suspended, as well as other questions that can be raised, let me draw out all the senses in which this performance, including the text’s own performance, plays the law. I show that this play confounds the distinction of condemnation and pardon.","PeriodicalId":167159,"journal":{"name":"Literature and the Remains of the Death Penalty","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123470655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the case of The Executioner’s Song, it is a postmortem in the clinical sense, which I briefly characterize. This condition of literature’s survival leads me to reflect, finally, on literature’s ambiguous relations to the death penalty; on the one hand, like the witness to an execution, literature can seem to fulfill or enable the executions it represents; on the other hand, these literary survivals are the ashes or remains of a phantasm that would calculate the end and put an end to finitude.","PeriodicalId":167159,"journal":{"name":"Literature and the Remains of the Death Penalty","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133117781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Besides well-known arguments of Foucault and others, I cite Victor Hugo’s observation from 1832 that moving the scaffold away from public view was an admission of shame in the practice. Against the background of secrecy laws proliferating around the U.S. death penalty today, I read Robert Coover’s 1977 novel The Public Burning, which restages the executions of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg in 1953 as an immense public spectacle in Times Square. The novel, I argue, crosses the two senses of its title; by dragging the execution into the public square it also brings out a shameless public sexual display, a public that is burning.","PeriodicalId":167159,"journal":{"name":"Literature and the Remains of the Death Penalty","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125058113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It explicates the notion of “the right to literature” and its relation to democracy (“No democracy without literature; no literature without democracy,” as Derrida has declared elsewhere).

It also recalls Derrida’s analysis in Given Time of the “absolute secret” of literature and includes a brief reading of Camus’s The Stranger.","PeriodicalId":167159,"journal":{"name":"Literature and the Remains of the Death Penalty","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130521412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
