Fact, Narrative, and the Judicial Uses of History: Delgamuukw and Beyond
No full textEric H. Reiter is Assistant Professor in the Department of History, Concordia University, Montreal, where he teaches law and society and legal history. He is also a member of the Quebec Bar. His recent articles have appeared in the Canadian Bar Review, the Journal of Civil Law Studies, and the Law and History Review. The author would like to thank Desmond Manderson, Shannon McSheffrey, Gavin Taylor, and the editors and anonymous reviewers of the Indigenous Law Journal for comments and suggestions that strengthened this article. An earlier version was presented at the Second Biennial Conference of the Canadian Initiative in Law, Culture and the Humanities at Carleton University, and the author thanks the participants for their questions and comments.This article examines how judges' use of history serves to construct and reinforce particular views of the past, of the legal order, and of the relationship between the two. Through an analysis of Delgamuukw v. British Columbia and more recent Aboriginal title and rights cases, it traces the process through which judges select facts and turn them into narratives, and then authorize those narratives into new "facts" through the act of judgment. This process of narrative construction is inherently political, and rests on culturally specific assumptions about the nature of time and historical significance. By forcing litigants - particularly Aboriginal litigants - to fit their claims and their history into the predominant narrative, history as wielded by judges represents a powerful force for the creation and preservation of orthodoxy that severely limits the possibilities for dialogue and pluralism in law

Performing the Jew: The Austrian novelist Robert Menasse
No full textThis article argues that the protagonist Viktor Abravanel in Robert Menasse’s 2001 novel Die Vertreibung aus der Hölle 'performs' his Jewishness by causing a calculated scandal during a class reunion. Because Viktor is designed as Menasse's alter ego the protagonist's actions are relevant to Menasse's own self perception. Menasse's playful mixing of fact and fiction in both his previous fictional and non-fictional work as well as claims he made in an interview with the author are cited to underpin this reading of the novel
