  • Justification and Excuse in the Criminal Law
    THE HAMLYN LECTURES Fortieth series Justification and Excuse in the Criminal Law J. C. Smith Justification and Excuse in the Criminal Law by J. C. Smith, Chi: QC LLD.FB A Honorary Bencher of Lincoln's Inn; Honorary Fellow of Downing College, Cambridge; Emeritus Professor of Law, University of Nottingham. In this book based on the 40th series of Hamlyn Lec- tures, Professor Smith examines a subject of great importance to the criminal law, both as a current topic of extensive academic debate and in the context of the problems faced by the ordinary citizen when con- fronted with a choice between breaking the letter of the law and suffering, or seeing others sutfer, harm. Issues discussed include: 0 The distinction between justification and excuse, and the consequences that may flow from it, the Stephen Waldorf case is examined in the context of potential resistance to mistakenly applied but law- ful force 0 Whether circumstances unknown to the defendant may amount to a defence 0 Judicial interpretation of statutory "let-out" clauses, such as "without reasonable excuse", "dishonesty" and "recklessness" and of phrases such as "inten- tion" which came under discussion in the Gillick case 0 Necessity and duress: "mercy killings" and the judicial discovery of the defence of circumstances. 0 The future of justification and excuse, in case law, legislation or codification The author examines these legal and practical dilemmas in another of his scholarly and thought- provoking contributions to criminal law, which will be of absorbing and lasting interest not only to students and teachers, but also, in keeping with the wishes of the founder of the Trust, to more general readers with an interest in the workings of the legal system and the conflicts inherent in it.

In the swift and fateful debates which preceded the bl,ast from hell-deeps of war, the rights, powers and duties of the small countries loomed largest. Even now the fate of Serbia, of Holland and*Belgium, of Armenia, of Ireland, rouse more passion and debate than the fate of the greater lands drawn into the conflict by the problem of the destiny of the small ones. “Self-determination of all nationalities” was written into the principles of diplomacy by the Russian revolution. This pungent phrase has been enlarged upon by President Wilson in his various speeches and papers, until one would think that the whole war arose out of a desperate determination on the part of all the Great Powers to protect their smaller brethren against all comers.

    ©Copyright 2012 Rebecca Lynne Clark Mane i Using Female Empowerment as a Cover Story for Whiteness and Racial Hierarchy in Pop Culture: Interrogating the Intersections of Racial Appropriation and Feminist Discourse in the Performances of Fergie, Gwen Stefani, and Lady Gaga Rebecca Lynne Clark Mane A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Christine Harold, Chair LeiLani Nishime Ralina L. Joseph Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of Communication University of Washington ABSTRACT Using Female Empowerment as a Cover Story for Whiteness and Racial Hierarchy in Pop Culture: Interrogating the Intersections of Racial Appropriation and Feminist Discourse in the Performances of Fergie, Gwen Stefani, and Lady Gaga Rebecca Lynne Clark Mane Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor Christine Harold Department of Communication This project contends that the pop cultural production of the subject of third wave feminism — an empowered sexy yet tough, glamorous yet powerful woman — is deeply entangled in racial symbolisms that ultimately re-assert whiteness and maintain racial inequity. Investigating the songs, videos, and public performances of three contemporary white female pop stars — Fergie, Gwen Stefani, and Lady Gaga — This analysis unpack the ways that racial symbolisms, sublimated cultural memories, and repudiated racial narratives circulate in these stars’ music, lyrics, and video narratives as well as visual indicators such as fashion, hair, make-up, and posture. Because these performances represent and promote female empowerment in ways contested, yet consistent, with third wave rhetoric, some feminist critics tend to dismiss the racial dynamics as incidental or include them only in apologetic footnotes.
