The first part introduces a Māori waiata (a ceremonial song, with movements) that occurred in the debating chamber of the New Zealand parliament in 2017 on the Third Reading of Te Awa Tupua (Whanganui River Claims Settlement) Bill. The resulting statute confers legal personality on the Whanganui River. The second part advances a way of approaching musical appreciation as a mental activity which, by joining sound to musical meaning not only makes musical sense of sound, but can also, in so doing, be said to participate in the process of making music. Crucial to the move from making sense of music to making music, is the notion that music is inherently a metaphorical way of thinking about sound; one in which the music metaphor operates by making sound humanly meaningful. The third part – proceeding from the idea that music operates as metaphor and, like all metaphor, produces meaning by translating abstractions into concrete conceptions – posits music as a bridge (a joint or articulation) between eras, cultures and social strata that might otherwise struggle to find meaningful points of connection and communication. The hope is that we might come to understand law making music in the sense both of ‘law making’ music and law ‘making music’.","PeriodicalId":42313,"journal":{"name":"Law and Humanities","volume":"14 1","pages":"26 - 56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17521483.2020.1752429","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42711417","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}

This article aims to shed light on the ambivalent aspirations reflected by the architectural design of the International Criminal Court in The Hague and the European Union buildings in Brussels. It provides a sightseeing tour through the architectural landscape of these two ‘legal capitals’ and explores the architectural embodiment of international law’s imaginaries through discussing three main issues: (1) the representation of values and needs; (2) embeddedness within the city; (3) audience expectations. It argues that the physical sites of institutional buildings and the public events that take place at these sites are not trivial to the practice of international law. These sites and the activities and interactions on their grounds (re)produce stories that affect our understanding of what international institutions are and what they mean to us. In particular in the international setting, where institutional legitimacy is not a given, the building’s architecture is an important means of communication. This article explores how the architectural design invites or discourages engagement and how it facilitates an encounter between the institutions and their multiple audiences.","PeriodicalId":42313,"journal":{"name":"Law and Humanities","volume":"14 1","pages":"57 - 82"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17521483.2020.1724407","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44845539","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}

While many interpreters focus on how it readdresses nomos, less attention is given to Cover’s notion of narrative. For Cover, narrative is not simply a complement to law that serves to pluralize it, but a key for a different conception of what law is, how it is constituted, and how it relates to sovereignty, morality and social commitment. In the context of the debates during the 1980s between legal positivists and naturalists, particularly around the question of hard cases, Cover’s contribution is that, instead of arguing about the different legal means required to fill what is perceived as a normative void, the narratival approach realizes that law is always socially and semantically contextualized. Hard cases, like crises of tradition or political breaking-points, are cases that uncover the working of narrative within law as a dynamic normative system. This paper argues that Cover’s work goes beyond the positivism-naturalism dilemma, as well as beyond the liberal framework of legal thinking and more broadly, towards a paradigm-shift in legal philosophy that I suggest calling poetical phronesis.","PeriodicalId":42313,"journal":{"name":"Law and Humanities","volume":"14 1","pages":"25 - 3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17521483.2020.1752437","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47471665","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}

This article argues that law – as a broadly construed concept – is a character and subject of The Pale King. Many of the characters enact a form of legal subjection, by becoming agents of U.S. tax law, which construes them as agents of the law while providing them with their sense of self. Major themes of the novel revolve around tax law, which constitutes individualized legal subjects and political bodies. However, the legal performative interpretation provided here is not a simple or straightforward analysis. Because Wallace died before the novel was published, but then appears within the text as the author who is subject to the law, The Pale King plays with and reflects on the multiple conditions of legal subjection, that which constructs and deconstructs the conditions that allow one to be both subject and free, false and real, fiction and nonfiction. Because we cannot know if Wallace is actually the author of the text, The Pale King reveals processes of legal subjection by providing readers with the opportunity to performatively subject oneself to that text, which they exhibit by attributing authority to Wallace.","PeriodicalId":42313,"journal":{"name":"Law and Humanities","volume":"13 1","pages":"247 - 268"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17521483.2019.1676530","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42306456","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}

What is less well known or observed is that this metaphorical opposition of encumbrance/escape plays an important role in legal language too. This article traces the appearance of this metaphor across some key moments in English criminal law in which injustice is conceptualized metaphorically in terms of being held up, kept down or back, etc. and that achieving a just outcome necessitates shaking off the encumbrance and getting free. Through a close reading of some important legal judgments, it shows how establishing this intersection between law and literature helps to advance our understanding of the plausibility and persuasiveness of legal language. The article applies this insight to producing a new reading of the Supreme Court’s recent reworking of dishonesty in Ivey v Genting Casinos [2017] SC 67, as well as a novel re-examination of established and apparently familiar authorities on recklessness and excuses to murder.","PeriodicalId":42313,"journal":{"name":"Law and Humanities","volume":"13 1","pages":"269 - 293"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17521483.2019.1670900","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42133178","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}
