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.","PeriodicalId":42313,"journal":{"name":"Law and Humanities","volume":"16 1","pages":"28 - 58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48527051","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}

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","PeriodicalId":42313,"journal":{"name":"Law and Humanities","volume":"16 1","pages":"145 - 148"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46792430","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 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.","PeriodicalId":42313,"journal":{"name":"Law and Humanities","volume":"16 1","pages":"123 - 144"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42805498","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}

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.","PeriodicalId":42313,"journal":{"name":"Law and Humanities","volume":"15 1","pages":"245 - 271"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49154247","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}
