| summary | This talk explores the ways in which law regulates behavior by
influencing how we address one another. This simple, often mundane, act of
civility, deference, insolence or contempt is an essential aspect of social
order. Titles and forms of address are common in cultures throughout the world.
There is a reason for this. They are elemental features of society. Titles and
address coordinate behavior from the ground up, subtly yet forcefully guiding
individuals through everyday encounters. Recognizing the prevalence and
salience of this guidance, particularly in the context of authority, legal and
political actors have and continue to exploit titles and address for various
ends. I discuss the failure of contemporary human rights law to appreciate the
effects of address in coordinated acts of violence.
L’exposé sera donné en anglais.
Ce séminaire tiendra lieu de séance supplémentaire, et de clôture, du
Séminaire Systèmes complexes en sciences sociales du CAMS. |
