LEGISLATORS - Abstract
On the second day of the Westminster Parliament of January 1380 John Lowther, one of the MPs for Westmorland, was stabbed to death by a fellow Member, Sir William Curwen, who sat for Cumberland. A case study of this homicide (the principal record of which is printed in the appendix) and its background offers new information on the arrangements for the housing of MPs during 14th‐century parliaments and demonstrates how the affair acquired a long parliamentary afterlife, before eventually being settled in 1394.

5. 'Figures of Exclusion' in Mucedorus (c. 1591).
- Author
-
Thom, Alexander
- Abstract
The anonymously authored Mucedorus was the most popular printed play-text in Renaissance England. A critical consensus has condemned the play as a vulgar romance with conservative overtones. Through a close reading of the banished shepherd-prince and the cannibalistic outlaw-king, Bremo, I argue that the play instead stages a disturbing encounter between two figures of sovereign exclusion, whose differences collapse into imitation. This mirroring conflict participates within the play's provocative depiction of other dissolving antitheses: between order and chaos, civilisation and animality, reason and violence.

6. Chaucer’s Treatment of Outlawry in 'Wife of Bath’s Tale' and 'Knight’s Tale'

chaucer ,outlawry ,wife of bath ,knight’s tale ,medieval england ,medieval crime ,Language and Literature - Abstract
The medieval outlaw appears in historical, religious, and legal texts of late Medieval England and is imagined in fiction as well, specifically in the romance narratives of Geoffrey Chaucer. Outlawry was a legal state that could be imposed. Chaucer found himself occasionally outside the law at different points of his life, an item to consider when examining Chaucer’s representation of knights acting outside the chivalric code. He populates his romances with outlawry, illustrating the ethical, legal, and social assumptions of their own times. In Chaucer, knights can sometimes be outlaws, and when they are, they are often portrayed as running amok or going mad, leading them to a quest or to an act that must be completed before they can be reintroduced into society. Early critics Maurice Keen and Eric Hobsbawm narrowly defined what they saw as outlawry in medieval literature, but the more recent work of Timothy S. Jones renews the possibility of better examining outlawry’s intersection with medieval romance. Outlawry has traditionally been associated with the narratives of Robin Hood. Yet broadening the definitions of what constitutes an outlaw narrative can lead to fresh readings of Chaucer’s work. To be outlawed, in medieval fiction, carries with it an additional displacement of a character’s connection to others. In this project, I examine fictional knights tarrying in outlawed space while grounding my argument in historical narratives. In doing so, I illuminate how outlawry intersects with medieval romance, unveiling chivalry’s ideological blemishes.

8. Atimia and Outlawry in Archaic and Classical Greece.

Joyce, Christopher

OUTLAWRY ,IMPUNITY ,POLITICAL community ,CAPITAL punishment ,CITIZENSHIP - Abstract
This article challenges the commonly held belief that atimia in its earliest Greek usage meant exile, arguing instead that atimia and outlawry were always two entirely distinct, though not mutually exclusive, concepts. It is often claimed that atimia originated as a penalty of death or exile, but that over time its harshness became modified so that those who suffered under its restrictions could not be killed or assaulted with impunity. A careful study of the evidence will show that atimia never meant outlawry, and moreover, its archaic cognates do not imply that in early times to lose timê was the same as losing membership in a political community. Rather, atimazesthai entailed the loss of social honour and status which was an all-encompassing value in the aristocratic societies of archaic Greece. Atimia in the Classical period is similarly a loss of rights (timai), and because penalties and conditions such as exile and outlawry can be easily described, in Greek, as involving the loss of prerogatives (timai), they are conceptually forms of atimia. However, in the legal language of democratic Athens atimia is and always was something distinct from exile, and this legal distinction went back to the very earliest times. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Penalties in Action in Classical Athens. A Preliminary Survey This paper attempts to look at the inner workings of the punitive system in ancient Athens. After a brief survey of the range of penalties available in Classical Athens (capital punishment, exile and outlawry, disenfranchisement, financial penalties, imprisonment, corporal penalties), it proceeds first to examine their nature (as they frequently fail to meet our criteria of punishment), and then to map them on the substance vs. procedure controversy regarding the Athenian legal system. The last two sections of the paper are devoted to the manner in which penalties were imposed (summary punishment, punishment by sentence, “automatic” punishment) and executed (private vs. public execution of court verdicts; coercive measures etc.).

Following the idea first expressed by Heinrich Swoboda, there is a general perception that the meaning of ἀτιμία in Athens eventually evolved from the original ‘outlawry’, when an ἄτιμος was liable to being deprived of his property and slayed with impunity if he returned to the land from which he had been banished, into a certain limitation on civic status, which has often been rendered as a ‘disfranchisement’. Specific outcomes of this later form of ἀτιμία varied depending on the dating and circumstances of individual cases, thereby giving rise to theories of a so-called full – or ‘total’ – and partial ἀτιμία. Still, whether it was viewed as ‘full’ or ‘partial’, this ἀτιμία did not inflict the death penalty. The precise dating of the transformation of ἀτιμία has also been debated, with opinions ranging from pre-Solonian times (L'Homme-Wéry) to the late sixth (Swoboda, Hansen, Manville) or the late fifth century (Scafuro). While the exact dating is unknown, this transformation was definitely over in the fifth century, when inscriptions and literary texts mentioned punishment by ἀτιμία alongside the death penalty and the confiscation of property. Thus, according to Raphael Sealey, ἀτιμία evolved ‘from a more severe to a milder sense’, and Alick R.W. Harrison pointed to the evidence that, by the fourth century, any willing Athenian could seize an ἄτιμος who happened to be in Athenian territory and surrender him to the θεσμοθέται, instead of killing him.

This article addresses a crux in the Fonthill Letter: why Helmstan, an outlawed thief, visited King Alfred's grave. This episode coincided with a succession dispute in which Alfred's son, Edward the Elder, was resisting a challenge for the kingdom. To enhance his legitimacy, Edward celebrated his father's legacy and promoted his grave, building Alfred a monumental mausoleum. Edward removed Helmstan's outlawry after the visit - a reversal that resembles instances in which condemned criminals were spared punishment after seeking sanctuary protection. I propose that as part of his political efforts, Edward offered comparable clemency to offenders who visited Alfred's grave. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

OUTLAWRY , *ANGLO-Saxon law , *DIPLOMATIC & consular service , *PAPACY , *JURISPRUDENCE - Abstract
In this article, I seek to define the difficult legal phrase utroque iure caruerunt (“and they have been deprived of both laws”), which appears in capitulum XII of the Legatine Capitulary of 786 (a collection of canons promulgated ostensibly by a papal legation sent to England in order to address unspecified abuses), describing a punitive sanction for malefactors who have committed or conspired to commit the crime of regicide. I have been able to identify no parallel occurrence of this phrase in any culturally similar or temporally proximate documents, leaving me with little beyond the text itself to seek evidence for its precise meaning. Since it has been demonstrated recently that Alcuin — a native-born Anglo-Saxon and a Northumbrian — was intimately involved in drafting the Legatine Capitulary (if, indeed, he was not the sole author), and moreover, since this phrase appears in a text composed in the first instance for a Northumbrian audience, I argue that this phrase is deeply rooted in Anglo-Saxon legal precedents. I conclude that the phrase signifies that those guilty of regicide should be deprived of both secular and ecclesiastical law, that is, that they should be both outlawed and excommunicated. As such, this phrase represents the first reference to the legal sanction of outlawry in Anglo-Saxon law by more than a century. Additionally, this phrase would appear to take for granted the close cooperation between ecclesiastical and secular jurisprudence specifically to punish crime, a feature of Anglo-Saxon law likewise not formally described (according to current thought) until more than a century later. I finish by considering the implications of my argument for the history of Anglo-Saxon law, suggesting in particular that we must revise currently held opinions about the pace of its development, particularly in the Anglian North, where — due most likely to the loss of evidence resulting from the Viking invasions — very little primary-text evidence has survived.

In this article, I argue that mass incarceration belongs to a category of social status interventions by which the modern state either withholds the ordinary protections and benefits of the law from outlawed groups or subjects them to private punishment based on their mere membership in those groups. In the US these groups include immigrants and resident Latinos, the homeless, the poor and poor blacks, sex workers, and ex-convicts. Outlawry is a fundamentally anti-democratic practice that cannot be justified in terms of deterrence and is incompatible with public safety. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AbstractOutlaws, Outcasts, and Criminals of the British Novel, 1800-1850ByRuth Elizabeth BaldwinDoctor of Philosophy in EnglishUniversity of California, BerkeleyProfessor Ian Duncan, Chair"Outlaws, Outcasts, and Criminals" provides a new account of the nineteenth-century historical novel by using the category of outlawry to illuminate the transitional period between Romantic and Victorian literary regimes. I argue that any account of the late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century novel must theorize the crucial link between outlawry and the novel form. Far from being a product of history, crime in these novels activates the category of history on which they depend. As the novel develops, the link between crime and history becomes an essential structural part of the genre. This recognition enables me to forge new and surprising connections between the Romantic outlaw as instituted by Schiller's The Robbers, the outlaw anti-heroes of Walter Scott's historical novels, the historical criminals of W.H. Ainsworth's "Newgate" novels, the female social climbers of Jane Austen's novels, and the scandalous anti-heroines of Thackeray's Vanity Fair and of M.E. Braddon's sensation novels. Key to the developments I am tracing is a new kind of anti-hero made possible by the early nineteenth-century novel's incorporation of other, non-novelistic genres. During a period when the novel was becoming a force of cultural normativity, outlaw figures emerged from the margins of the plot to assume a central role. Unlike the Gothic villain or Byronic anti-hero, who are solitary outcasts, these anti-heroes represent an alternative, rival, outlaw society, from which they colonize the central plot. I examine the structural tension between the ostensible hero, the outlaw anti-hero, and the actual antagonists in Scott's Ivanhoe and Rob Roy. These cases are particularly telling, as Scott's system of history almost always focuses on groups that are, in some sense, outside of the law: Jacobites and members of the proscribed clan MacGregor in Rob Roy; Robin Hood's band, the disinherited Ivanhoe, the Jews Isaac and Rebecca, and even the illegitimate regime of Prince John and his knights in Ivanhoe. The dynamic outlaw energy that originates with Rob Roy and with Robin Hood infects the entire narrative and symbolic system. In my final chapter, I examine the transformation of the new anti-hero into an anti-heroine--a rival to the protagonist of the traditional marriage plot. Ambitious lower-class women threaten the social order in their attempts to maneuver into high society through marriage. As the anti-hero becomes feminized and infects the domestic novel, novelists change their narrative strategies in subtle and unexpected ways. Through the development of free indirect style, affective withdrawal, and strategic reticence, Austen, Thackeray, and Braddon develop new ways of dealing with the anti-social threats to their novel's marriage plots. The outlawry that I argue is so crucial to the development of the novel form thus brings about important changes in narrative technique. Between Scott's death and the establishment of the novel as the dominant literary form by mid century, the genre was in flux: novelists interpolated non-canonical historical sources, ballads, broadsides, chapbooks, plays, and other ephemera, while collaborating with illustrators and engaging with theatrical and other adaptations of their work, to an unprecedented degree. This experimentation develops out of Scott's use of ballads and other popular forms in his historical novels. In this decade or so of generic instability the novel is actively reimagined as a locus of cultural consolidation. The past becomes intelligible through the medium of the historical novel, rather than through primary historical materials and artifacts, or historiography itself. Ainsworth's Jack Sheppard (1839), with its many unacknowledged allusions to and incorporation of earlier renditions of the eighteenth-century criminal's biography, marks a turning point in the long history of Sheppard narratives. Echoing the seriality of Sheppard's crimes and escapes, the novel's serial form provides a mechanism through which his crimes pervade not only the story world of the novel but the real social world of Ainsworth's readers.

OUTLAWRY , *LEGITIMACY of governments , *JUDICIAL review , *COMMON law , *CRIMINAL procedure - Abstract
This Note proposes using outlawry proceedings to bring legitimacy to the government's targeted killing, regime. Far from clearly contrary to the letter and spirit of American due process, outlawry endured for centuries at English common law and was used to sanction lethal force against fugitive felons in the United States until as recently as 1975. Because it was the outlaw's refusal to submit to the legal process that warranted the use of lethal force against him, the choice of process was necessarily preserved through basic protections such as charges and notice. This Note argues that these principles can be updated for the twenty-first century and used to subject the government's targeted killing of U.S. citizens to limited judicial review.

24. Voluntary exile and eisangelia in Athens: remarks about the lawfulness of a widespread practice
- Abstract
This paper aims to investigate the question of the (un)lawfulness of voluntary exile by defendants in relation to eisangelia trials. I argue that the defendant’s habit of evading trial by going into exile was never seen as lawful, despite the frequency with which it occurred. First, I examine the issue of alternating between the death penalty and exile in eisangelia trials with the aim of showing that exile was not a penalty linked to the procedure of impeachment. Then, I argue that Athenian law took into consideration the issue of the (un)lawfulness of self-exile, as demonstrated by the existence of an Athenian law concerning the same matter in homicide cases. Lastly, I analyse some ancient passages that allow us to state that defendants in high treason trials who evaded justice were likened to outlaws. Elements such as the practice of setting bounties on those who escaped trial, extradition requests for fugitives, the imposition of additional penalties such as confiscation of property and inscribing the fugitive’s name on a bronze stele, can corroborate this assumption.

25. The causes of the increase in litigation.

Brooks, C. W.
- Abstract
By 1600, the enormous increase in litigation which had taken place since the 1550s began to produce concern amongst observers, both inside and outside the legal profession, that there were too many lawsuits. In the space of a mere half-century England seemed to have become an extremely litigious country. Exactly how litigious early modern society was can be gauged only by making comparisons with other periods. We know already that for two hundred years before 1550 litigation in the central courts was much lower than it was to become by 1550. Going even further back into the past, during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, much legal work may have been done in local courts, but simple comparisons of the bulk of the plea rolls leave little doubt that central court business was nowhere near the level it was to reach under Elizabeth. For the period after 1640 and on into the eighteenth century, there is as yet no statistical evidence of sufficient quality on which to build a confident picture of trends in litigation. Cockburn's counts of cases heard by justices of assize remain high until the late 1660s and early 1670s, when a quite precipitous fall-off begins, which lasted well into the eighteenth century. But, since cases at assize were by definition cases nearing completion, such figures may not be a reliable guide to the number of causes commenced. Statements made by court officials to parliamentary inquiries give the quite contrary impression that litigation was still buoyant in the 1720s. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

26. LAW REFORM.

Elton, G. R.
- Abstract
THE LAW AND THE JURY In one sense, of course, all that Parliament did changed the law of England, but it is legitimate to distinguish between such measures as altered the condition of the courts and the law there administered from the making of laws for the other purposes already discussed. The half-century ending around the 1540s has quite recently been revealed as one of the great periods of transformation in the common law, a time when the judges and the practitioners, by argument and decision, over-hauled the law of the land in order to bring it into a closer relation to reality than it had possessed for some time. In addition, the application of printing to the records and literature of the law introduced a new degree of definition, a means for making current decisions march in step with agreed authority; put into print, the texts of statutes, of the old Year Books, of the new Abridgments and Reports, accompanied by a proliferation of authoritative textbooks, provided a general guide to the law as it stood. At the same time, this drastic revision of the system also created a new kind of uncertainty leading to argument, as inherited interpretations came into conflict with what the transformation was trying to make of them. Altering the remedies available to litigants, redefining the rights of landowners and tenants, moving uses and copyhold - hitherto a preserve of Chancery - into the arms of the common law, developing the law of contract and obligation, and doing all this while ostensibly maintaining the continuation of immemorial custom led to much doubt especially concerning title to property and the means of establishing it.

Everyone, no matter of what rank, should do their duty and so rest assured that the fulfillment of each traditional task was part of the work of justice which rendered it a work of God. ‘Cursed is he that doth the work of God negligently.’ And what you find here, you have warrant to do; do it, and fear not, for it is written, ‘He shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to keep thee in thy ways.’ Let able and fit men be chosen to and kept in these offices. And truly (if I be not mistaken) herein lieth almost the whole work of reformation in church and commonwealth, to make and keep the officers thereof good … Had our bishops and officers about them been chosen out of the best men of the time, doubtless Episcopacy had not been so grievous and odious; and exchange it for Presbytery, and let the Presbyters be ambitious, covetous and contentious, and may not this model be more grievous and odious? The like may be said of the Independent model … [but] ‘when the righteous are in authority the people rejoice’ (Proverbs 29.2) … Let our justices of the peace then be curiously chosen out of the fittest of men. The first ten of Sheppard's twenty-seven books were published in the troubled times between 1641 and 1654 when the nation was learning to cope with the dislocations of the civil war and the uncertainties of the commonwealth.

This thesis is the first sustained study of Long Meg of Westminster, a figure of Henrician England featured in premodern literature and folklore. Famous for her ‘excesse in height’, she features in a wide selection of popular narratives and, by the seventeenth century, provides a name for a gun, a cannon, and the Bronze Age Stone Circle ‘Long Meg and her Daughters’ in Little Salkeld, Cumbria. While earlier critics such as Patricia Gartenberg (1983) and Bernard Capp (1998) have noticed similarities between Long Meg and Robin Hood’s characterisation as an outlaw, I argue that Long Meg’s ‘merry prankes’ engage with the discourses of gender, law and popular culture. In its consideration of women beyond their marginal roles in outlaw narratives, this thesis interrogates the exclusion which uniquely underpins the lost legal term waive through the conceptual vocabulary of biopolitics. The distinctive contribution of my research thus lies in three key areas: it provides a detailed critical analysis of Long Meg of Westminster, a literary account of the premodern waive, and offers an intervention in Agamben studies. Bringing legal materials such as Magna Carta (1215) and Henry de Bracton’s in De Legibus et Consuetudinibus Angliae [On the Laws and Customs of England] (c.1235) into dialogue with literary texts concerned with Long Meg (1590-1640), I show how the waive – the woman’s terminological equivalent to the outlaw – is characterised by a suspension in law and language. The introduction traces the textual and critical history of Long Meg alongside the early English law from which the waive first emerges. This discussion concludes with an outline of the overarching biopolitical framework of the thesis. The first three Chapters provide a comparative account of Long Meg alongside the jesting communities of Robin Hood and John Skelton. Chapters One and Two encompass their overlapping traditions as jestbook heroes in The Gest of Robyn Hode (c.1450), The Merie Tales of Skelton (c.1567) and The Life of Long Meg (1635). Using their shared stage presence as a cultural index to investigate the lost Long Meg of Westminster play (c.1594), Chapter Three examines dramatic works such as Anthony Munday’s The Downfall of Robert Earl of Huntington (c.1598) and Ben Jonson’s court masque The Fortunate Isles and their Union (c.1624). Chapters Four and Five turn to Meg’s absorption into alternate communities of women in Thomas Deloney’s prose narrative The Gentle Craft, the second part (c.1598) and the pseudonymous pamphlet ascribed to Mary Tattlewell and Joan Hit-him-home, The Womens Sharpe Revenge (1640). Distinct from the outlaw, the premodern waive illuminates the gendered difference which underpins Long Meg of Westminster’s tradition.

Michel Foucault seized upon Bentham's "Panopticon" prison design as a metaphor to illustrate the mechanisms of social control in post-industrial society. In our recent rush to invent alternatives to incarceration, we have created a new and burgeoning class of outlaws, persons for whom privacy is not a legally cognizable right. Combined with Supreme Court decisions finding surveillance of even innocent citizens to be constitutionally benign, our well-intentioned efforts to reduce prison populations are close to bringing Foucault's metaphor to literal reality.

Tez (Yüksek lisans) -- İbn Haldun Üniversitesi Üniversitesi. Kaynakça var. As the United States of America has embraced and defended its right to operate with impunity on a global battlefield, Muslims in particular have found themselves in an increasingly Western-controlled and anti-Muslim world in terms not only spatial but also discursive, with Western intervention not only military but also ideological. Much has been written about the roots of anti-Muslim thought in the civilizational conflict between the Christian and Muslim worlds, or Euro-American racism and xenophobia, but the developments of the American War on Terror deserve a political analysis that measures the systemic impact on the safety of Muslims in the American order, with an eye for opportunities to strengthen their position. Giorgio Agamben’s philosophical work on outlawry and bare life in the Roman figure of homo sacer provide a field for this analysis, of which this thesis focuses on the Muslim American citizen as the Muselmann – the limit figure of humanity - in the global camp. How historical is Agamben’s theory, and how contemporary? I argue that Agamben’s theory is even more historical than he himself proves, and that Muslims in America, even the citizens among them, are the latest – but also, the most fundamental – example of bare life at the center of America’s civil war. Amerika Birleşik Devletleri, küresel bir savaş ortaminda dokunulmazlıkla faaliyet gösterirken, özellikle Müslümanlar, kendilerini yalnızca mekansal değil, aynı zamanda söylemsel olarak da, hem askeri hem ideolojik alanda Bati kontrolu altında, giderek daha fazla Müslüman karşıtı olan bir dünyada buldular. Hıristiyan ve Müslüman dünyaları arasındaki uygarlık çatışmasında, Müslüman karşıtı düsüncenin kökleri, Amerikan ırkçılığı ve yabancı düşmanlığı hakkında çok şey yazılmıştır, ancak Amerika’nın Terörle Mücadele politikasındaki gelişmelerin Amerika kontrolu altında yasayan Müslümanların güvenliği uzerindeki etkisinin, Müslümanların pozisyonunu güçlendirmek gayesi ile, sistematik olarak analiz edilmesi gerekmektedir. Giorgio Agamben'in Roma Hukuku’nda karşımıza çıkan Homo Sacer, yani çıplak hayat yaşayan kanun kaçağı “kutsal insan” figürü üzerindeki felsefi çalışmaları, Müslüman Amerikalı vatandaşı kuresel dunyadaki Muselmann, insanligin siniri, olarak gören bu analiz için bir temel oluşturmaktadir. Agamben’in teorisi ne kadar tarihsel, ne kadar günceldir? Ben bu analizde, Agamben’in teorisinin kendisinin kanıtladığıdan daha da tarihsel olduğunu ve Amerika’daki Müslümanların, hatta vatandaş olanlarin bile, Amerika’nın iç savaşının merkezinde çıplak hayatin en yeni – ayni zamanda da en önemli – örneği olduğunu tartışıyorum.

Outlawry in Medieval Scandinavia as a subject of academic interest has been growing more popular in recent years. But now, as in the 1930s when the topic first took off among Dutch and German scholars, the focus seems set on a predominantly literary study through the lens of the Icelandic sagas, with the collections and codes of law taking a back seat. While comparative studies between sagas and laws have been tackled in the past few decades, with scholars like William Ian Miller and Agneta Breisch attempting to further develop our collective understanding of the society of Commonwealth Iceland, few, if any, have adopted such a comparative approach to two different law codes. This thesis seeks to remedy this situation. By comparing the different forms of outlawry and punishment in Grágás and the Gulaþingslǫg, an improved picture shall be created of how outlawry developed and was utilized in the two different political systems that characterized twelfth and thirteenth century Iceland and Norway.

This thesis is a comparative study of Grettis saga and Króka-Refs saga, two Icelandic Sagas from the 14th century. The aim of this study is to present these sagas in the context of historical, legal and cultural influences, and to discuss similarities and differences between them. Króka-Refs saga has been compared with other texts because of a great number of familiar patterns from other sagas. The thesis will present an argument, based ont he idea of Martin Arnold, who suggested that the constant marginal position of Refr has similarities to the life of an outlaw. My argument will suggest similar possibilities in order to explain the possible purpose of the creation of such text. The aim of this thesis is to define the place of Króka-Refs saga in the Icelandic literary corpus, and to understand why Refr is similar and at the same time different to the famous outlaw-heroes.

The article provides information on the book "Kentucky's Famous Feuds and Tragedies," by Charles G. Mutzenberg. To the preparation of this "authentic history of the world-renowned vendettas of the Dark and Bloody Ground" the author was obviously moved by a missionary impulse. A loyal Kentuckian, convinced that the world at large had condemned his State without a fair hearing by holding it responsible for the misconduct of a single element in its population, he has essayed to relieve this judgment by looking up the actual records of a few of the most notable episodes in local outlawry, and substituting the proven or provable facts for the lurid romances with which the newspapers have too often been supplied.

It is often said that the protagonist of the fourteenth-century Tale of Gamelyn has a name that means 'son of the old man', deriving from the Icelandic gamall or 'old'.1 This reading speaks to Gamelyn's status as the child of his father's old age, and the fact that it is his position as a son among other sons that sets the narrative in motion. But Gamelyn's name also bears a significant relationship to the word 'game' in its multiple senses of amusement, delight, and pleasure; wild animals hunted for sport; the act of hunting them; and structured play, of the sort explored by Johan Huizinga in his classic 1938 study of 'the play element of culture', Homo ludens. These resonances have been noted by a number of different critics, but so far as I am aware no one has yet developed them into a structured account of the text.2This article investigates the extent to which the dynamics of the Tale can be thrown into relief by inserting it into a late medieval culture of 'game'. This engagement has a double character. In the first place, game and play are characterized by rule-boundedness. All play', Huizinga argues in Homo ludens, 'has its rules.' Hence his comment, that play 'creates order' - more than that, that it 'is order'.5 Consideration of ordered 'game' in Gamelyn leads towards late medieval conduct books and household manuals - books of'game' and of'nurture' - and their codifications of rules for proper behaviour. It explores the ways in which these rule-bound game-spaces help constitute the patterns of inclusion and exclusion that structure medieval society, and it works its way towards a language that describes the breaching of these rules. Secondly, though, game and play are for Huizinga characterized by a certain quality of pretence. As forms of makebelieve, they suspend straightforward distinctions between truth and falsehood. This aspect of game-behaviour is rejected by Gamelyn. Gamelyn reconfigures the meanings of game prevalent in chivalric romances, where it typically speaks to the role-playing demanded by sophisticated forms of social organization. It also unfolds an entirely different understanding of game from that prevalent in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, with which Gamelyn is associated in the manuscript tradition. Critical accounts of the dialectic of 'ernest' and 'game' in Chaucer have argued that The Canterbury Tales offer a celebration of the complex satisfactions offered by the organized untruths that go by the name of literature. The Tale of Gamelyn bears a far more antagonistic relationship to questions of duplicity. It may be that all games - and all fiction - must involve some measure of deception, but that is not how Gamelyn sees things. The most significant structural antithesis of 'game' in the Tale is not 'ernest' but 'gyle'.Gamelyn thus simultaneously affirms and dissents from the conventionalism implicit in game-playing. At the level of plot, it stages a number of violent breaches of customary rules of behaviour, but the unruly energies it unleashes are ultimately directed to the service of a law of paternal and sovereign power. Simultaneously, the text's semantic gamesomeness is mobilized to rule out of bounds a conception of social life as a texture of sophisticated play. The pun hidden within the protagonist's name is central: Gamelyn, I argue, pits 'game' against 'game'.IThe story of Gamelyn can be quickly told. Gamelyn is the youngest of the three sons of Sir John of Boundys. He is bequeathed the largest share of his father's estate. His eldest brother (also John) deprives him of this inheritance, and the fraternal conflict that ensues leads to Gamelyn being outlawed and taking refuge in the forest. He becomes the king of a band of outlaws and with their assistance seizes control of the court that has condemned to death the middle brother, Sir Ote (who had supported Gamelyn). Sir John as sheriff, the Justice, and the jurymen are all killed instead. Ote makes Gamelyn his heir, and Gameyn regains his inheritance. …

44. Reminiscencias de la violencia: el caso del sur del Tolima
- Abstract
This paper is about the construction of the individual as well as collective memory of a community that was affected by la Violencia in the south of Tolima. It is based on eight interviews to senior citizens––four men and four women––that shared their memories of such time. The life of a liberal guerrillero was studied to understand the relationship of liberal leaders with the community, the reasons of the emergence of such movements, their behavior and the power relations between different institutions and the outlaws. This paper is an effort to dignify those stories that remained in the private sphere of some victims of the armed conflict. As such, it is a compendium of experiences and stories that should have been taken into account by the reconciled powers for a real transition to peace, Trata-se de uma pesquisa sobre a construção de memória individual e coletiva de uma comunidade do sul do Tolima, que foi afetada pelo conflito armado conhecido como a Violência. Foram realizadas oito entrevistas a idosos, quatro homens e quatro mulheres, que contaram o que se lembravam do período em questão. Indagou-se pela vida de um guerrilheiro liberal, alcunhado General Arboleda, para conhecer qual era a relação dos líderes liberais com a comunidade, as razões do surgimento destes movimentos, a forma na que atuaram e as relações de poder existentes entre diferentes instituições com os bandoleiros. É um esforço por dignificar estes relatos que ficaram no âmbito privado de algumas vítimas do conflito bi partidarista. O resultado é um compêndio de experiências e relatos que tiveram que ter sido levado em consideração pelos poderes reconciliados para fazer uma transição verdadeira para a paz, Se trata de una investigación sobre la construcción de memoria individual y colectiva de una comunidad del sur del Tolima, que fue afectada por el conflicto armado conocido como la Violencia.

This dissertation analyzes literary jurisprudence in Gottfried’s Tristan and explicates the poem as an exemplar of Grimm’s theory of medieval law-poetry. This study examines how Gottfried dramatizes the institutions and practices of law, such as feudal tenure, judicial combat, and evidentiary debate. Chapter One traces the history of Gottfried’s Tristan as an object of study for law-in-literature research. The chapter also analyzes the poet’s relationship to and distinction from the Arthurian tradition. Chapter Two investigates legal discourse relating to the intersection of geography and authority in the poem. The chapter explicates scenes related to property transmission and contractual obligations. Chapter Three examines the juridical language and logical structures of judicial duels in the cases of Morgan and Morold. Chapter Four discusses the scrutiny of direct and indirect evidence in three scenes: The Seneschal and the Dragon Tongue, Isolde and the Sword Splinter, and the Flour on the Floor. The fourth chapter also elucidates the manner in which Tristan and Isolde rhetorically manipulate the presentation of evidence in order to deceive King Mark and his surrogates, Marjodoc and Melot. In sum, this dissertation argues that Gottfried’s juridical language gives definition to a model of jurisprudence characterized by legal efficacy, rational thought, and individual judgement.

La societat rural mostra un model de comportament inalterable al llarg del temps, amb poques innovacions i governada més pels costums que per les lleis. Una societat sense privacitat on la hipocresia no és possible. El simple refús comporta una ofensa i una reacció violenta. Una vegada destapada la conflictivitat, per mitjà de les fonts judicials, sorgeixen desenes de problemàtiques quotidianes pròpies d’una societat horitzontal, fins a aquell moment amagades i que poden enriquir i canviar la visió de la història vertical, Rural society exhibits a pattern of behaviour which is unchanging throughout time, with few innovations, ruled by tradition rather than laws. It is a society without privacy where hypocrisy is not possible; a simple denial would lead to an offence often accompanied by violent feedback. Once conflict is made public by means of justice, dozens of daily problems not uncommon in horizontal societies come up: a set of hidden social problems which may enrich and eventually change our perspective on vertical history
