In the Land of Blood and Honey What’S Fair Or Just in Love and War Crimes? Lessons for Transitional Justice* Carrie Menkel-Meadow
4 In The Land of Blood and Honey What’s Fair or Just in Love and War Crimes? Lessons for Transitional Justice* Carrie Menkel-Meadow n 1990, the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) held a conference on “Probing the Limits of Representation: Nazism and the IFinal Solution” during which leading international scholars of history, literature, cultural studies, philosophy, critical theory, arts, language, sociology, and psychology explored the question of whether the mass atrocities of Nazism and the Final Solution to exterminate all European Jewry could be represented in anything other than “factual” historical documentation and narrative (Friedlander 1992; White 1992; LaCapra 1996). This was some years after the first documentaries and “fictional- ized” films on the Holocaust had appeared, after Judgment at Nuremberg (Kramer 1961), but before Schindler’s List (Spielberg 1993) and after vari- ous cultural critics had said such things as “there can be no poetry after Auschwitz” (attributed to Theodor Adorno), and no morally acceptable artistic representation could be made of the Shoah (Friedlander 1992). The conference explored what were then called “limits to representation” of certain “truths,” so reprehensible, so mass and, at the same time, so spe- cific or so exceptional (the “German” problem; Maier 1988), that no genre could fully, morally, or “accurately” depict either the systematic evil or the mass pain, death, and injury that is the Holocaust. As the child of Holocaust survivors, I attended that conference as both scholar and one generation removed “victim,” having spent a lifetime listening to my family’s stories and seeing many visual images of both their own stories and the larger international one that was World War II. -
CONTRACT CONFLICT Guy A
COPYRIGHT © 2017 VIRGINIA LAW REVIEW ASSOCIATION COPYRIGHT SURVIVES: RETHINKING THE COPYRIGHT- CONTRACT CONFLICT Guy A. Rub* Twenty-one years ago, copyright died. More accurately, it was killed. In 1996, in ProCD v. Zeidenberg, Judge Easterbrook, writing for the Seventh Circuit, held that a contract that restricted the use of factual information was not preempted by the Copyright Act and therefore enforceable. The reaction among copyright scholars was swift and passionate. In dozens of articles and books, spreading over two decades, scholars cautioned that if the ProCD approach is broadly adopted, the results would be dire. Through contracts, the rights of copyright owners would run amok, expand, and in doing so they would invade, shrink, and possibly destroy the public domain. Contracts, we were repeatedly warned throughout the years, would kill copyright law. This Article challenges this scholarly consensus by studying the court opinions that have dealt with the copyright-contract conflict over the past four decades. This examination reveals surprising facts: notwithstanding the scholars’ warnings, ProCD’s approach won the day and was embraced by most federal circuit courts. The doomsday scenarios scholars warned against, however, did not materialize. The * Associate Professor, The Ohio State University Michael E. Moritz College of Law.

Facing the Future in Migration's Past
Double Time: Facing The Future in Migration’s Past Derek Duncan By picturing our wishes as fulfilled, dreams are after all leading us into the future. But this future, which the dreamer pictures as the present, has been moulded by his indestructible wish into a perfect likeness of the past. --Sigmund Freud, Interpretation of Dreams Trauma is not necessarily a single event, but a series of events that affects the imaginary and the symbolic. --Maureen Turim, Flashbacks in Film In La mia casa è dove sono, Igiaba Scego explores the imaginary and real geographies of memory and belonging as she maps the contours of her identity as an Italian woman of Somali origin. Scego paints a vivid picture of her native city’s new materiality: “Una Roma dove la globalizzazione si è fatta carne” (2010, 157). She recounts the astonishment of her brother on his first visit from England when he sees a group of Italian boys playing cricket with some Sri Lankan friends. Scego is quite happy with the new diversity reflecting that “[l]e mazze di cricket e i sari non sono altro che i segni di un futuro che non solo verrà, ma che è già qui da discreto tempo” (157). In the gendered symbolism of the cricket bats and the saris, Scego foresees a multicultural future that has already become past. In a gesture that is characteristic of many attempts to envisage what the nation will become, she then immediately returns to more distant times: “Qui ci sono passati tutti, arabi, normanni, francesi, austriaci. C’è passato Annibale, condottiero africano, con i suoi elefanti” (157-58), a historical fact, she reminds the reader, recalled relatively recently by the Neapolitan hip-hop band Almamegretta. -

Adventures in Film Music Redux Composer Profiles
Adventures in Film Music Redux - Composer Profiles ADVENTURES IN FILM MUSIC REDUX COMPOSER PROFILES A. R. RAHMAN Elizabeth: The Golden Age A.R. Rahman, in full Allah Rakha Rahman, original name A.S. Dileep Kumar, (born January 6, 1966, Madras [now Chennai], India), Indian composer whose extensive body of work for film and stage earned him the nickname “the Mozart of Madras.” Rahman continued his work for the screen, scoring films for Bollywood and, increasingly, Hollywood. He contributed a song to the soundtrack of Spike Lee’s Inside Man (2006) and co- wrote the score for Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007). However, his true breakthrough to Western audiences came with Danny Boyle’s rags-to-riches saga Slumdog Millionaire (2008). Rahman’s score, which captured the frenzied pace of life in Mumbai’s underclass, dominated the awards circuit in 2009. He collected a British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Award for best music as well as a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for best score. He also won the Academy Award for best song for “Jai Ho,” a Latin-infused dance track that accompanied the film’s closing Bollywood-style dance number. Rahman’s streak continued at the Grammy Awards in 2010, where he collected the prize for best soundtrack and “Jai Ho” was again honoured as best song appearing on a soundtrack. Rahman’s later notable scores included those for the films 127 Hours (2010)—for which he received another Academy Award nomination—and the Hindi-language movies Rockstar (2011), Raanjhanaa (2013), Highway (2014), and Beyond the Clouds (2017). -
