SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Writing Human Rights Across Borders
DESCRIPTION:Over the last two decades\, the figure of the migrant has become the central imaginary subject of human rights precisely because the universal acknowledgement of migrancy as a human rights issue has been lacking and inconsequential. During the same time\, a global literature of migration has emerged as an important medium that transcends national boundaries and calls for more universal formations of the legal status and acknowledgment of migrants as subject(s) of human rights. Such fictions of migrancy do not only illustrate how subjects on the move are imagined but emphatically link the universality of human rights and the global scale of injustice toward migrants to literature as a universal form of political rhetoric and a medium of social justice. Migrancy fictions\, Schneck and Zander will thus argue\, negotiate the contradictions and conflicts inherent in the legal formation of the migrant\, and reflect on how literary forms and narrative modes may present and suggest alternative visions of migrant subjectivity and agency. \nLaura Zander is a Research Fellow at the “Law and Literature” Collaborative Research Centre at the University of Muenster. Publications include Writing Back / Reading Forward: Reconsidering the Postcolonial Approach (Berlin 2019)\, as well as articles on law and literature\, gender and postcolonial studies\, and South African and Caribbean literature. Most recently\, she edited the volume Europe in Law and Literature: Transdisciplinary Voices in Conversation (DeGruyter 2023). Her current research focuses on human rights\, subjects on the move\, and fictions of migrancy. \nPeter Schneck is Professor and Chair of American Literature and Culture at Osnabrück University and currently the director of the Institute for English and American Studies. His publications include The U.S. and the Questions of Rights (Heidelberg 2020; co-ed) and Rhetoric and Evidence: Legal Conflict and Literary Representation in American Culture (Berlin\, 2011). Since 2019\, he has been leading a research group at Osnabrück University on the formation of literary property within the Collaborative Research Centre (SFB 1385) “Law and Literature\,” hosted by the WWU Münster and funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). His current research is concerned with human rights and global literatures of migration\, flight\, and dislocation. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Legal Humanities Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Workshop: Rehearsals for Reparations
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, the Legal Humanities RFG will discuss Giuliana Perrone’s new paper\, “Rehearsals for Reparations.” This pre-circulated paper considers a set of lawsuits in which emancipated people sued to have their enslavers’ bequests to them honored. It contends that we should see these suits as contests over reparations. By exploring this unappreciated history of reparations\, this article argues that enslavers themselves believed reparations were due and were willing to pay them\, there was a general agreement between enslaved and enslaver about the form reparations should take\, and similar understanding that they should be generational. The article further suggests the promise of further inquiry into historical testamentary records. Such a novel archive would add to contemporary arguments in favor of reparations by identifying how widespread the effort to atone for slavery through restitution truly was. \nGiuliana Perrone is Assistant Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, where she specializes in the history of North American Slavery and Abolition. Her first book\, Nothing More than Freedom: The Failure of Abolition in American Law will be published by Cambridge University Press in May 2023. \nTo receive the pre-circulated paper\, email Giuliana Perrone at gperrone@ucsb.edu. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Legal Humanities and Slavery\, Captivity\, and the Meaning of Freedom Research Focus Groups \nImage credit: Fibonacci Blue via Flickr

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Workshop: The Power of Positionality: Self-Identification in Empirical Legal Writing
DESCRIPTION:What is the impact on and influence of the researcher in law and society? Drawing in part from the author’s empirical research and professional experience\, this workshop will discuss a paper that investigates the benefits and burdens of positionality. Positionality is the disclosure of how an author’s racial\, gender\, class\, or other self-identifications\, experiences\, and privileges influence research methods. A statement of positionality in a research paper can enhance the validity of its empirical data as well as its theoretical contribution. But such self-disclosure also risks exposing a scholar to vulnerability\, especially because those most likely to reveal how their positionality shapes their research are scholars who identify as women\, ethnic minorities\, or both. At this stage of the field’s methodological development\, the burdens of positionality are being carried unevenly by a tiny minority of researchers. The author concludes by inviting all socio-legal scholars to redress this imbalance by embracing positionality. \nMark Fathi Massoud is Professor of Politics and Director of Legal Studies at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. He is also Visiting Professor of Law at the University of Oxford. He is the author of two books\, Shari’a\, Inshallah and Law’s Fragile State\, and he is co-editor of the Cambridge Studies in Law and Society book series. Most recently\, he received a Guggenheim Fellowship. Find out more at markmassoud.com. \nRead the paper here \nSponsored by the IHC’s Legal Humanities Research Focus Group
