I remember fondly the conversations in the sociology classes which led to the idea of starting this student journal. For their class assignments, the students had done stunning empirical research based on participant-observation fieldwork. Their research projects also resulted in some of them publishing their findings. We talked about how the doing of “law by other means,” to borrow from Peter Goodrich, is a necessary condition to thinking through the nature of law, and its entanglement with social science and humanities. And how a student-led journal would provide a creative and unconventional space for this doing of law by other means. The journal in its conceptualization challenges the artificial distinction between “law” and “non-law” by putting law on “speaking terms,” to invoke James Clifford, with social science and humanities. It imagines cross-disciplinary dialogues and border crossing so as to facilitate a more productive conversation between legal research and scholarship, and social science research. This moment is particularly inspiring to me as a sociologist teaching in a law school. I am most honoured to have been in conversation with my students from the beginnings of this idea to the inaugural issue. I have been deeply impressed by the creativity, hard work, and initiative of the editors, especially their attention to the proliferation of issues, debates, and modes of writing. The inaugural issue reflects their desire to think afresh and launch a journal with a difference—one which takes modes of conversation, dialogue, and border crossing seriously. Talking about law today is one of the most important aspects of the social, yet cross-disciplinary perspective and form is something that has not been experimented with enough. Jindal Law and Humanities Review is undoubtedly path breaking. Its future holds great promise for serious interdisciplinary engagement with law. It is my hope that scholars, researchers, and students will support this endeavour with a keenness and urgency that coincides with the times we live in, soliciting academic freedom, reflexivity, and creativity. Mani Shekhar Singh is Associate Professor, Jindal Global Law School and Executive Director, Centre for Law and Humanities, OP Jindal Global University. He also serves on the Advisory Board of Jindal Law and Humanities Review. i Editorial Bhagabati, Chidambaram, Step- hen, ‘Editorial’ (2020) 1 JLHR ii EDITORIAL Dikshit Sarma Bhagabati, Neeta Maria Stephen, Malini Chidambaram Oh, JLHR! Of our Feral Hearts and Murdered Inks Dikshit Sarma Bhagabati Back in 1936, frustrated with the lifeless and quotidian routines of law review publications, Fred Rodell declared aghast: “there are two things wrong with almost all legal writing. One is its style. The other is its content. That, I think, about covers the ground.”1 Two decades later Barthes echoed from across the Atlantic that style, as a “blind force” in writing, is situated at the cusp of temporal biographical nature and the beyond of grammatical norms where the writer’s formal identity can be established.2 Style archives the writer’s personal history, acting as a metaphor for her literary preferences without even “signifying a choice”. What choice does legal writing ever We write this editorial by preserving our individual voices not as an egoistic fruition of the editorial process, but to lay bare the irreconcilable yet complementing singularities of our styles, visions, and nuanced political positions. Even though the three of us might be hinting at similar issues, we hope that the different epistemological and experiential standpoints which overwrite these familiar motifs reveal the journal’s wish to rethink the familiar in uncharted ways. The many circularities, repetitions, and implicit conversational allusions within this narrative derive from the aporetical logjams of the editorial process itself. Perhaps we can hope to vindicate this dispersed Editorial—but not its attendant privilege—by agreeing that it is as murky, desolate, and circumspective as the rigours of producing a journal can be. Yet, it discloses the challenges we have grappled with, and the challenges we must still forebear to realize JLHR’s cherished vision. While we sign the Editorial with our names, the effort of producing this journal has been a collective enterprise. We owe an enduring debt to the Board of Advisors for their constant guidance, support, provocations and, most importantly, for acquainting us with the ramifications and possibilities which had escaped our sight. Our contributors, overwhelmed with their own challenging schedules amidst the covid-19 pandemic, continued working with us to curate this issue. We are very grateful for the individualized and dedicated collaboration provided by each of our contributors. The University Administration at OP Jindal Global University has been generous with institutional support and personal encouragement. We owe our deepest gratitude to the Vice Chancellor and Executive Dean, JGLS. The IT team at the University has invested long hours of labour to develop a brilliant website. Being quite technologically inadequate, perhaps we will never understand the full extent of their help. Finally, try as we may to read the efforts of our fellow editors in shaping this issue, we can never fully express the collective student-led initiative of JLHR in mere words of thanks. We, therefore, write this Editorial upon the limitedness of our own contributions amidst the cumulative labour that has materialized this journal. 1 Fred Rodell, ‘Goodbye to Law Reviews’ (1936) 23 Virginia Law Review 38, 38. 2 Roland Barthes, Writing Degree Zero (Beacon Press 1970) 13-14. ii Vol. 1 Jindal Law and Humanities Review 2020 present except its deadness and stuckness? If style is indeed a metaphor for the history inscribed in the writer, almost as indelibly as the natural constitution of her body, then perhaps legal writing does represent the incisive juridico-deductive logic that law usurps to seal its semantic closure. Perhaps legal writing does serve its ends: that is— borrowing from Nietzsche’s famous Ten Rules—to suit the person with whom the enunciator is communicating. Judges writing for lawyers, lawyers writing for clerks and judges, scholars writing for whoever would care to read, and parties reading their fates imprinted on legal papers but rarely writing much—one legal actor for another, that is the communicative circuit of legal writing. Jindal Law and Humanities Review, therefore, emerges with an elementary understanding that the familiar signs of legal writing, those permeating the neoliberal classroom where we are located, have to be ventriloquized with a rebellious mode of writing. Precisely, a mode of writing; not some pathbreaking style, content, or even language. But a mode of writing (again, à la Barthes) that speaks to the solidarities forged in the renegade traditions of legal academia—and also in the anthropological, historical, literary, psychoanalytical, and the other humanities discourses which are deliberately ostracized under the inclusively excluded mark of interdisciplinarity. We are aware of the banality in what we are doing, the usualness dictating this venture that we are tempted to call unprecedented. The fabled celebration of writing as freedom is a premium on

SOVEREIGNTY AND SOCIAL CHANGE IN THE WAKE OF INDIA'S RECENT SODOMY CASES DEEPA DAS ACEVEDO* Abstract: American constitutional law scholars have long questioned whether courts can truly drive social reform, and this uncertainty remains even in the wake of recent landmark decisions affecting the LGBT community. In contrast, court watchers in India-spurred by developments in a special type of legal ac- tion developed in the late 1970s known as public interest litigation (PIL)-have only recently begun to question the judiciary's ability to promote progressive social change. Indian scholarship on this point has veered between despair that PIL cases no longer reliably produce good outcomes for India's most disadvan- taged and optimism that public interest litigation can be returned to its glory days of heroic judicial intervention. Perhaps no pair of cases so nicely captures this dichotomy as the 2009 decision in Naz Foundation v.

Coker ABSTRACT Modesta Bor (1926-98) was one of the outstanding Venezuelan composers, conductors, music educators and musicologists of the twentieth century. She wrote music for orchestra, chamber music, piano solo, piano and voice, and incidental music. She also wrote more than 95 choral works for mixed voices and 130 for equal-voice choir. Her style is a mixture of Venezuelan nationalism and folklore with European traits she learned in her studies in Russia. Chapter One contains a historical background of the evolution of Venezuelan art music since the colonial period, beginning in 1770. Knowing the state of art music in Venezuela helps one to understand the unusual nature of the Venezuelan choral movement that developed in the first half of the twentieth century.

  • An Interview with Teesta Setalvad
    Jindal Global Law Review https://doi.org/10.1007/s41020-020-00116-3 ARTICLE Proto‑fascism and State impunity in Majoritarian India: An Interview with Teesta Setalvad Oishik Sircar1 © O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) 2020 Abstract This interview with Teesta Setalvad was conducted in the wake of the February 2020 anti-Muslim violence in North East Delhi. Drawing on her vast experience as a human rights activist, journalist, and peace educator, Setalvad’s responses map the continuum — across years, anti-minority pogroms and ruling parties with divergent ideologies — of the cultures of hate, and the practices of state repression and impu- nity in a proto-fascist India. Setalvad ofers an interrogation of the ideology of the Hindu right, delves into the historical trajectories of the rise of the Rashtriya Sway- amsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). She also charts the repeating patterns of police and media complicity in fomenting anti-minority hate and critically analyses the contradictory role of the criminal law and the Constitu- tion of India in both enabling and resisting communal violence. In conclusion, she ofers hopeful strategies for keeping alive the promise of secularism. Keywords State impunity · Hindutva · Gujarat 2002 · Pogrom · Genocide 1 Introduction The cover of Teesta Setalvad’s memoir — Foot Soldier of the Constitution — features a photograph of her looking directly into the eyes of the reader.1 Her face is partly lit and lightly silhouetted, her eyes simultaneously conveying an invitation and a provocation. One might use words like determination, courage and fortitude to describe the expres- sion on her face — as the blurb on the back cover of the book does.

  • Public Interest Litigation and Political Society in Post-Emergency India

PIL is a unique jurisdiction initiated by the Indian Supreme Court in the aftermath of the Emergency of 1975-1977. Why did the Court’s response to the crisis of the Emergency period have to take the form of PIL? I locate the history of PIL in India’s postcolonial predicament, arguing that a Constitutional framework that mandated a statist agenda of social transformation provided the conditions of possibility for PIL to emerge. The post-Emergency era was the heyday of a new form of everyday politics that Partha Chatterjee has called ‘political society’. I argue that PIL in its initial phase emerged as its judicial counterpart, and was even characterized as ‘judicial populism’. However, PIL in its 21 st century avatar has emerged as a bulwark against the operations of political society, often used as a powerful weapon against the same subaltern classes whose interests were so loudly championed by the initial cases of PIL. In the last decade, for instance, PIL has enabled the Indian appellate courts to function as a slum demolition machine, and a most effective one at that – even more successful than the Emergency regime.

  • 2018, Four Senior Most Judges of the Supreme Court, Namely Justice
    Rebellion in the Supreme Court By N.T.Ravindranath, dated 12-03-2018 On January 12th, 2018, four senior most judges of the Supreme Court, namely justice Chelameshwar, Ranjan Gogoi, Joseph Kurian and Madan Lokur stunned the people of India by openly revolting against the Chief Justice of India and conducting a press conference in Delhi accusing CJI Deepak Mishra of selective allocation of important cases for hearing to junior judges in an improper and inappropriate manner. Allocation of cases to different benches is the sole prerogative of the Chief Justice of India. Many important cases have been allocated to junior judges in the past and there is nothing unusual or unfair about it. The four dissident judges claim that all judges are equals and that the chief justice is only the first among the equals. On the other hand, contradicting their own assertion, they refuse to treat their own junior judges as their equals. Thus, their allegations against the chief justice Deepak Mishra can be seen as baseless and without any merit. Hence, the open mutiny staged by the four rebel judges is highly condemnable. This episode has not cast any shadow of doubt on the reputation and credibility of CJI Deepak Mishra. On the contrary, it is the four rebel judges who now stand exposed as crooks by their open expression of frustration and anger over non-allocation of certain cases of their interest to them. Their open revolt has only helped to expose their undue interest in getting certain cases allocated to them for their own vested interests which has raised questions about the impartiality and credibility of the Supreme Court.

  • Sound and Place at Central Public Squares in Belo Horizonte (Brazil)
    Invisible Places 18–20JULY 2014, VISEU, PORTUGAL Polyphony of the squares: Sound and Place at Central Public Squares in Belo Horizonte (Brazil) Luiz Henrique Assis Garcia [email protected] Professor at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Brazil Pedro Silva Marra [email protected] Phd candidate at Universidade Federal Fluminense,Belo Horizonte, Brazil Abstract This article aims to understand and compare the use of sounds and music as a tool to disput- ing, sharing and lotting space in two squares in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. In order to do so, citizens manipulate sounds and their parameters, such as intensity, frequency and spatiality. We refer to research data collected by Nucleurb/CCNM-UFMG constituted by a set of methodological procedures that involve field observation, sound recording, photo- graphs, field notesand research on archives, gathering and cross analyzing texts, pictures and sounds, in order to grasp the dynamics of conformation of “place” within the urban space. Keywords: Sonorities, Squares, Urban Space provisional version 1. Introduction A street crier screams constantly, as pedestrians pass by him, advertising a cellphone chip store’s services. During his intervals, another street crier asks whether people want to cut their hair or not. On the background, a succession of popular songs are played on a Record store, and groups of friends sitting on benches talk. An informal math teacher tries to sell a DVD in which he teaches how to solve fastly square root problems. The other side of the square, beyond the crossing of two busy avenues, Peruvian musicians prepare their con- cert, connecting microfones and speakers through cables, as street artists finish their circus presentation.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: PRISMS and POLYPHONY
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: PRISMS AND POLYPHONY: THE LIVED EXPERIENCES OF HIGH SCHOOL BAND STUDENTS AND THEIR DIRECTOR AS THEY PREPARE FOR AN ADJUDICATED PERFORMANCE Stephen W. Miles Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Dissertation directed by: Professor Francine Hultgren Department of Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership College of Education University of Maryland This hermeneutic phenomenological inquiry is called by the question: What are the lived experiences of high school band students and their director as they prepare for an adjudicated performance? While there are many lenses through which the phenomenon of music preparation and music making has been explored, a relatively untapped aspect of this phenomenon is the experience as lived by the students themselves. The experiences and behaviors of the band director are so inexorably intertwined with the student experience that this essential contextual element is also explored as a means to understand the phenomenon more fully. Two metaphorical constructs – one visual, one musical – provide a framework upon which this exploration is built. As a prism refracts a single color of light into a wide spectrum of hues, views from within illumine a variety of unique perspectives and uncover both divergent and convergent aspects of this experience. Polyphony (multiple contrasting voices working independently, yet harmoniously, toward a unified musical product) enables understandings of the multiplicity of experiences inherent in ensemble performance. Conversations with student participants and their director, notes from my observations, and journal offerings provide the text for phenomenological reflection and interpretation. The methodology underpinning this human science inquiry is identified by Max van Manen (2003) as one that “involves description, interpretation, and self-reflective or critical analysis” (p.
