What is the value of fictions, metaphors, figures and scenarios in adjudication? This book develops three models to help answer that question: inquiry, artefacts and imagination.
Legal language, it is argued, contains artefacts - forms that signal their own artifice and call upon us to do things with them. To imagine, in turn, is to enter a distinctive epistemic frame where we temporarily suspend certain epistemic norms and commitments and participate actively along a spectrum of affective, sensory and kinesic involvement.
The book argues that artefacts and related processes of imagination are valuable insofar as they enable inquiry in adjudication, ie the social (interactive and collective) process of making insight into what values, vulnerabilities and interests might be at stake in a case and in similar cases in the future.
Artefacts of Legal Inquiry is structured in two parts, with the first offering an account of the three models of inquiry, artefacts and imagination, and the second examining four case studies (fictions, metaphors, figures and scenarios).
Drawing on a broad range of theoretical traditions - including philosophy of imagination and emotion, the theory and history of rhetoric, and the cognitive humanities - this book offers an interdisciplinary defence of the importance of artefactual language and imagination in adjudication.

Описание: What do we mean by `art`? As a category of objects, the concept belongs to a Western cultural tradition, but how useful is it for understanding other traditions? To understand art as a universal human value, we need to look at how the concept was constructed in order to reconstruct it through an understanding of the wider world.

Описание: This book examines everyday artefacts of world politics: the things that everyday people make that tell stories about how the world works.
Описание: Fakes and forgeries are objects of fascination. This volume contains a series of thirteen articles devoted to fakes and forgeries of written artefacts from the beginnings of writing in Mesopotamia to modern China. The studies emphasise the subtle distinctions conveyed by an established vocabulary relating to the reproduction of ancient artefacts and production of artefacts claiming to be ancient: from copies, replicas and imitations to fakes and forgeries. Fakes are often a response to a demand from the public or scholarly milieu, or even both. The motives behind their production may be economic, political, religious or personal – aspiring to fame or simply playing a joke. Fakes may be revealed by combining the study of their contents, codicological, epigraphic and palaeographic analyses, and scientific investigations. However, certain famous unsolved cases still continue to defy technology today, no matter how advanced it is. Nowadays, one can find fakes in museums and private collections alike; they abound on the antique market, mixed with real artefacts that have often been looted. The scientific community’s attitude to such objects calls for ethical reflection.
Описание: For 150 years The United Synagogue has marked key events with services of thanksgiving, intercession and celebration. This book opens a window into the community which has never been seen in its entirety before. The US, established by an Act of Parliament, is the bedrock of the Anglo Jewish community. Orders of service contain prayers said in synagogues to commemorate someone or something: a memorial, opening a building or, a royal occasion. In this ground-breaking book you will find a selection of rare Judaica, the order of service marking the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria, the coronation of King George VI or the end of World War II. These orders of service are grouped by theme: Monarchy, Chief Rabbis, Lifecycle, Religious Life, Persecution and War and Israel and Zionism. In the book you can see letters to Montefiore concerning prayers of thanksgiving following the attempted assassination of Queen Victoria, Chief Rabbi Hertz standing in the bombed ruins of the Great Synagogue and the kosher china used on Cunard liners. As a reference volume or just to read and reflect on 150 years of the United Synagogue and its unique position in British society, this is a very special book.
