THE DAVID BERG INSTITUTE FOR LAW AND HISTORY at University ______

2013‐2014 Annual Report

Submitted by Assaf Likhovski, Director The David Berg Institute for Law and History Buchmann Faculty of Law Tel Aviv University [email protected] 011 (972) 3‐640‐8018 We are delighted to submit the 2013‐2014 Annual Report for The David Berg Institute for Law and History at the TAU Buchmann Faculty of Law.

We are particularly proud of several new activities for young legal historians that were launched this year. The David Berg Summer School for Young Legal Historians (item no. 2) provided graduate students and young untenured faculty the opportunity to present their research projects to leading senior legal historians, who provided valuable commentary. The Institute supported a yearlong series of meetings initiated and organized by young legal history graduate students at TAU (item no. 15); and we hosted our first post‐doctoral student (item no. 16).

The David Berg Institute also completed two major projects essential to the Israeli legal history infrastructure. We collaborated with the Nevo Legal Database and the TAU David J. Light Law Library on the digitization of the Hebrew version of the Mandatory Palestine Gazette (item no. 17); and completed work on a new updated bibliography of secondary sources on Israeli legal history (item no. 18).

This was in addition to the support the Institute provides to legal history‐related research by TAU graduate students and faculty, and to our many conferences, symposia and lectures. This year, for the first time, we videotaped some of these events, and they are now available for viewing online (see items 1, 5 & 13).

2 | CONFERENCES, SYMPOSIA AND LECTURES

1. THE 5TH ANNUAL DAVID BERG INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE: THE ARTS IN LEGAL HISTORY June 22‐24, 2014 | See Appendix A

The conference emerged from a peculiar observation about the relationship of law and the arts. The cultural turn of the last decades has prompted historians to turn to finding meaning in the situated subject. Methodologically, sources considered “aesthetic” – the arts of all sorts, canonic and non‐ canonic, textual, visual, music, and performing arts – have thus gained a pride of place in historical inquiry; the plurality and instability of meanings they signal, and their perceived proximity to situated human experience, became not only unproblematic, but right to the point.

Legal history, however, has been more reluctant to embrace aesthetic sources. It has become inter‐ and multidisciplinary, yet its array of sources has left the arts still marginalized. The use of aesthetic sources seems to demand explanation, theorization, introduction even, particularly in work that does not draw on existing law‐in‐arts paradigms.

Our conference brought together historians from different departments whose work involves legal history and the arts, in an effort to explore and thicken the venues and possibilities for this work. Participants were invited to present original work and address a host of pertinent issues, among them:

. Does the use of aesthetic sources mandate/authorize/encourage/open up new avenues in legal history and in jurisprudence? . How is the use of aesthetic sources theorized? Within what conception of law? Within what vision of legal history? In what theoretical relations to other historical sources? . What happens to legal history when it draws on aesthetic sources? Are positivist accounts of legal history, and of law as a verifiable social fact, threatened? And if so, what replaces them? . For those who experience the introduction of aesthetic sources as part of a shift to more modest, complex, unsure grounds of meaning‐making – how is a sense of reality preserved, theorized, authorized? . Which aesthetic sources does one choose? Why? How are choices related to one’s conception of law, legal history, or specific historical inquiries? . What does the practice of reading aesthetic sources historically look like? What does one actually do? . How does the analysis of classically “legal” sources in history change under the pressure of aesthetic sources? . What are the historical and ideological forces behind the marginality of aesthetic sources in legal history? What does the gap mean for the uses of legal history for historians in general? . What are the prospects for legal histories engaged with aesthetic sources? What would it take to move their insights into the mainstream?

The first two days of the conference took place at Tel Aviv University. On the third day, participants toured the National Library of . Dr. Milka Levy‐Rubin, the curator of the Humanities collection, hosted the participants, presenting appropriate conference‐related documents.

12 | 13. CONFERENCE: SOVEREIGNTY AS TRUSTEESHIP FOR HUMANITY – HISTORICAL ANTECEDENTS AND THEIR IMPACT ON INTERNATIONAL LAW June 16‐17, 2014 | See appendix L

The conference brought together political theorists, lawyers and historians to explore the historical context of the emergence of the debate over the meaning of sovereignty and its contours: When, by whom and why were such competing accounts of sovereignty developed? How could their analysis enrich our understanding of the history of the concept? And whether such unraveling raises a more nuanced account of what sovereignty meant and what it may mean for us today? Such exploration may address alternative perspectives and interpretations and examine the relationships between the different approaches to sovereignty, relations with the private law concept of property and further explore the influences of these ideas on general international law and some of its specific legal doctrines.

ORGANIZERS Ms. Naomi Levenkron, TAU Buchmann Faculty of Law

14 | 16. THE DAVID BERG VISITING SCHOLARS PROGRAM

This year, the Berg Institute hosted Dr. Geetanjali Srikantan, an Indian Post‐Doctoral Student who is visiting TAU as part of a statewide post‐doctoral program. Dr. Srikantan was trained as a lawyer at the National Law School of India University, Bangalore and holds a PhD in cultural studies from the Manipal University Center for the Study of Culture and Society in Bangalore. Her research focuses on the process of secularization and its universality; investigating the historical trajectory of the legal category of “religion” by analyzing the regulation of places of worship in British India. Dr. Srikantan is working on a book on the topic, and presented chapters in various fora at TAU and other Israeli Universities.

17. DIGITIZATION PROJECT OF LEGAL TEXTS FROM THE MANDATORY PERIOD

The digitization project of the Palestine Gazette was completed this year. The Gazette was published by the Government of Palestine during the period of British rule. Legislation, regulations and other types of legal announcements of the Government of Palestine appeared in the Gazette in English, Arabic and Hebrew. The Institute collaborated with TAU David J. Light Law Library and with Nevo, Israel’s largest Israeli legal database corporation, to digitize the Hebrew version.

15 | 18. A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF SECONDARY SOURCES ON ISRAELI LEGAL HISTORY

This bibliography is an updated version of The History of Law in a Multi‐Cultural Society: Israel. 1917‐ 1967 (Ron Harris, Alexandre Kedar, Assaf Likhovski and Pnina Lahav eds. Aldershot: Ashgate, 2002). It includes secondary sources dealing with the legal history of late‐Ottoman and Mandatory Palestine and Israel between 1948 and 1967. The updated bibliography was compiled by Mr. Omer Aloni and Ms. Yael Plitmann.

The bibliography is available online at: http://www.law.tau.ac.il/Eng/_Uploads/dbsAttachedFiles/IsraeliLegalHistory‐ ABibliography020414(1).pdf

19. LAWYERS' ARCHIVE

Work on the lawyers' archive progressed this year. Two personal collections were moved to the room devoted to the archive at the TAU David J. Light Law Library.
