10/21/04 (Thur) 
 Joan Dayan Lecture: The Uses of Law in the War on Terror
 4:30PM until 6:30PM 
 In: 306 Royce

THE UC TRANSNATIONAL AND TRANSCOLONIAL STUDIES MULTICAMPUS
  RESEARCH GROUP

  Presents

  JOAN DAYAN

  The Uses of Law in the War on Terror

  
  Arguing that what seems to be the lawless practices of the
  current Washington administration is rather a hyper-legality
  that feeds on precedent in domestic law, Dayan will focus on
  the legal history of “cruel and unusual punishment.” Rules
  of law not only prompt the terror meted out in Abu Ghraib,
  Guantanamo, the offshore detention centers at Bagram air
  base and the military base on Diego Garcia, but also in our
  state prisons. What are the local, legal loopholes ready at
  hand for limiting or disregarding established, international
  anti-torture laws? In the seminar, Dayan will attempt to
  construct an analytic of power that takes seriously the law
  as its model and considers the continuum between the slave,
  the prisoner, and the newly targeted “civilian” or “security
  detainee.”

  Joan Dayan, Robert Penn Warren Professor in the Humanities
  at Vanderbilt University, works on 18th and 19th Century
  American and Caribbean studies and the comparative legal and
  religious history of the Americas. Her books include A
  Rainbow for the Christian West, Fables of Mind: An Inquiry
  into Poe’s Fiction, and Haiti, History, and the Gods.
  Currently a Guggenheim fellow in law, she is completing a
  book on slavery, incarceration and the law of persons.

  This program is free and open to the public. Limited
  seating is available, but no reservations are required.
