  • The Dazzling Blackness
    THE DAZZLING BLACKNESS By Jamie Brisick I’m thinking about Brazilian president Getúlio Vargas, who shot himself in the heart in 1954; I’m thinking about Pepê Lopes, who died in a hang gliding accident while trying to win a second world title in Japan in 1991; I’m thinking about Aryton Senna, the Formula One racer who died on lap seven of the San Marino Grand Prix in Italy in 1994. I am not thinking about death explicitly, but death hangs over all of this. I’m bodysurfing the north end of Barra da Tijuca, a spot called Praia do Pepê, named after the hang glider. The swell is out of the southwest; the waves are a whomping four foot, mostly lefts, with the occasional short burst of right. The water smells of sewage, with a distinctly Rio tang. My romantic self likes to think of it as bathing in the collective DNA of this city of six million. My more practical self fears Hep A. On my feet, Da Fins, recommended by bodysurfing guru Mark Cunningham. At the tip of my fingers, a Danny Hess-shaped hand plane, which I have learned to hold with my inside hand. This is why I love bodysurfing. This is why, in my recent trips to Rio, I end up bodysurfing more than board surfing: I’m still learning new things. At age 47 I may be declining as a surfer, but as a bodysurfer I’m unquestionably improving. The tadpole grows feet and hops across the terra firma. The surfer sheds board and swims off to eternity.

Older interpretations tended to criticize the final stories about Ar- tayctes and Artembares as anticlimactic or inappropriate: Did Herodotus forget himself here, or were the stories intended as interludes, preludes to further narrative?2 Entirely opposite is the praise accorded Herodotus in a recent commentary on Book 9: “The brilliance of Herodotus as a writer and thinker is mani- fest here, as the conclusion of the Histories both brings together those themes which have permeated the entire work and, at the same time, alludes to the new themes of the post-war world.” 3 More recent appreciation for Herodotus’ “brilliance,” then, is often inspired by the tightly-woven texture of Herodotus’ narrative.

  • Criminal Justice: Capital Punishment Focus
    Criminal Justice: Capital Punishment Focus Background The formal execution of criminals has been used in nearly all societies since the beginning of recorded history. Before the beginning of humane capital punishment used in today’s society, penalties included boiling to death, flaying, slow slicing, crucifixion, impalement, crushing, disembowelment, stoning, burning, decapitation, dismemberment and scaphism. In earlier times, the death penalty was used for a variety of reasons that today would seem barbaric. Today, execution in the US is used primarily for murder, espionage and treason. The Death Debate Those in support of capital punishment believe it deters crimes and, more often than not believe that certain crimes eliminate one’s right to life. Those who oppose capital punishment believe, first and foremost, that any person, including the government, has no right to take a life for any reason. They often believe that living with one’s crimes is a worse punishment than dying for them, and that the threat of capital punishment will not deter a person from committing a crime. Costs and Procedures On average, it costs $620,932 per trial in federal death cases, which is 8x higher than that of a case where the death penalty is not sought. When including appeals, incarceration times and the execution in a death penalty case, the cost is closer to $3 million per inmate. However, court costs, attorney fees and incarceration for life only totals a little over $1 million. Recent studies have also found that the higher the cost of legal counsel in a death penalty case the less likely the defendant is to receive the death penalty, which calls the fairness of the process into question.

  • Torture and Public Executions in the Islamic Middle Period (11Th-15Th Centuries) Christian Lange PREPRINT VERSION*
    Torture and Public Executions in the Islamic Middle Period (11th-15th Centuries) Christian Lange PREPRINT VERSION* The notion that Islam is a religion that thrives on violence was part and parcel of European medieval polemics. ‘The use of force,’ writes Norman Daniel, ‘was almost universally considered to be a major and characteristic constituent of the Islamic religion, and an evident sign of its error’.1 In the Western imagination, Muslim warfare, or jihād, has been just one aspect of the Islamic penchant toward violence; another is the perceived cruelty and arbitrariness of the Islamic penal system. Traces of this preconception can be found also in modern times. As an example, one might mention that violent executions at the hands of fearsome, massively muscular Arab henchmen were a popular trope of 19th-century Orientalist painters, as seen, for example, in the two paintings, ‘Execution of a Moroccon Jewess’ (1860) by Alfred Dehodencq (1822-82) and ‘Execution without Trial under the Moorish Kings of Granada’ (1870) by Henri Regnault (1849-71). While it has become a common scholarly tactic in recent decades to question approaches that otherize the European Middle Ages from the perspective of the modern, rational nation-state, declaring them uniquely irrational and violent, careful scholarly investigations into the complex mechanisms of penal justice and crime control under pre-modern Islamic regimes remain a desideratum. This is not to say that the Islamic prosecution of crime, in the period under consideration here (ca. 11th to 15th centuries), was not arbitrary and violent, even if it bears mentioning that Western travellers to the Near East sometimes praised the efficiency and also, the fairness, of the penal system in place under the Ottoman sultans (r.
