The Beckett effect : the work of Stan Douglas, Paul Chan, and Tania Bruguera
No full textThis dissertation on the “Beckett effect” explores the continuing impact of Samuel Beckett’s literary and dramatic texts on contemporary art practices. Since the 1960s, visual artists working in a variety of media have turned to Beckett’s literary productions as sources. I propose that the mediating function of Beckett’s texts extends beyond influence to produce a plurality of functions in the visual arts, which I have identified as the “Beckett effect.” By setting influence aside, I am able to ask: what is the art historical and theoretical significance of the frequency of the use of Beckett’s texts within contemporary art practices? How have these texts dispersed across North American and European contemporary art practices? Exactly what do Beckett’s writings offer contemporary visual artists? More specifically, this dissertation focuses on the effect of Beckett's interventions into the works of three artists: Stan Douglas (b. 1960), Paul Chan (b. 1973), and Tania Bruguera (b. 1968).
I first explore Beckett’s reverberations in the visual arts with particular attention to the dispersal of his texts among key artists beginning in the sixties. From there, I argue that Beckett’s oeuvre constitutes a critical intervention into our understanding of contemporary modes of being subjects. Using Beckett’s texts, Douglas, Chan and Bruguera made films, videos, multi-media installations, and theatrical adaptations that allow the viewer to experience the work of art as an immersion in both the historical sense of time and their own present predicament(s). As such, Beckett’s texts serve the visual artist as the means to negotiate between a socially engaged practice and the specific, political or social issue they seek to address. When these artists use Beckett, the work of art moves away from the primacy of vision so that the viewer’s contemporary political and social contexts may be considered.Arts, Faculty ofArt History, Visual Art and Theory, Department ofGraduat

Judicial deference at work: Some reflections on Chan Kin Sum and Kong Yun Ming
No full text"Due deference" - the giving of appropriate weight to the government's judgment in the court's reasoning - is a tool that courts use to maintain the separation of powers in constitutional rights review. This note aims to provide a theoretical framework for understanding the issue of deference, and to analyse the Court of First Instance (CFI)'s approach to deference in two recent cases, Chan Kin Sum and Kong Yun Ming. The author argues that the CFI has adopted a spatial approach that failed to specify the contested issues that called for deference, inappropriately considered democratic legitimacy as a factor for deference and made broad presumptions about the democratic character of primary decisions. This approach may lead to an over-deferential attitude that threatens the separation of powers, and the malleability of the approach may be subject to courts' manipulation. The author argues for a more context-sensitive approach based purely on institutional factors.published_or_final_versio
Mary Douglas, risk and accounting failures.
No full textSociology and anthropology are especially valuable in providing a critical understanding of the risk-related implications of modernity. There has, however, been relatively little discussion of the work of Mary Douglas within accounting although her pioneering writings in the area of risk have been highly influential. This paper uses Douglas' cultural theory of risk to provide an alternative perspective on the demise of Enron and Andersen. The failure at Enron is interpreted through the grid-group model and analysed as a series of events that threaten to destabilize established cultures. Accounting is thus construed as an activity that exists on the margins of boundaries. There are two important conclusions drawn from the analysis. First, as the worldviews of both the individualist and hierarchical cultures became threatened by the ensuing crisis they collaborated to ensure their perpetuation. This also averted individuals from becoming susceptible to recruitment by subversive egalitarian groups. Second, the individualistic culture of Andersen shaped practices within the firm weakening its ability to act as a gatekeeper and therefore public accounting firms need to modify their cultures if they are to police the margins effectivel
