Adjusting the Narrative Lens: Overcoming the Incommensurability of Representations of Rape and Sexual Violence in the Field of Transitional Justice
No full textThe recognition of rape and sexual violence against women in periods of armed conflict has become increasingly prevalent in the discourse of the international community in recent years culminating in rhetoric concerned with the ending of impunity for such crimes. While the establishment of ad-hoc criminal tribunals may have spawned a jurisprudence that mobilises and articulates the international legal response to conflict-related rape and sexual violence against women, the legal processes implemented, legal agents employed and legal language used all come together to produce a particular narrative construction designed to secure law’s retributive aim. As complex lived experiences are reduced to fit universal legal categories, the construction of legal narratives is achieved at the expense of victim-survivors through narratives that elide the causes and consequences of rape and sexual violence resulting in incommensurable representations. Crimes of this nature continue to take place throughout the word, continually evading capture in law. This work explores the way in which three modes of thought - temporality, genealogy, and spatiality - operate to frame laws narrative, precluding for it the possibility of recognising fully the multifaceted nature of lived experience. These normative modes of thought represent interrelated aspects of law’s boundaries, perceived in a particular way within law. Framed from a feminist perspective, this work pushes at these boundaries to question whether law's limits can be redrawn as commensurable with life through a new perception of narrative, examining the processes and actors designated with the task of providing justice in judicial, quasi-judicial and extra-judicial mechanisms. Adjusting the narrative lens demands acknowledgment of a common thread that ties each of us together - though our languages may differ, our ability to tell stories remains. Through blurring the boundaries, the work not only seeks enrichment through reconfiguration of those approaches already established in law but also attempts to harness the potential of the narrative lens to consider the possibility of overcoming incommensurability

DSpace for e-print archives
No full textDSpaceTM (http://dspace.org/) is the new open source digital repository system from the MIT Libraries and Hewlett-Packard Labs designed to support the digital collections of academic research institutions, as well as the SPARC conception of Institutional Repositories for digital research material. The DSpace system has been described elsewhere in detail so the focus of this article is on its implementation at MIT for archiving e-prints and other artifacts of scholarly communication, and making these available to the public. The MIT Libraries are deeply concerned about the well-documented crisis in scholarly communication and are committed to working
towards innovative solutions. We share this concern with many of the MIT faculty and administration, several of who have been key supporters of the DSpace project and related
initiatives at the university. The MIT Libraries were a founding member of SPARC, and are a signatory of the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI). This article will describe how MIT Libraries have implemented DSpace to support these goals

The value of liminal cases in developing a narrative victimology: The case of families of people serving an indeterminate sentence for public protection
No full textThis article contributes to the emerging literature on narrative victimology by examining what we will suggest to be a telling ‘liminal case’: families of people sentenced to Imprisonment for Public Protection in England and Wales. We draw on qualitative research conducted with families of people sentenced to Imprisonment for Public Protection to explore how they narrated their experiences and show that while their own predominant narratives do overlap to a considerable degree with commonly accepted victimhood frames, they fail fully to ‘fit’. We argue that such liminal cases have considerable value for the study of narrative victimology: just as ‘central’ or ‘ideal’ cases provide telling insights, the examination of the specific contours of ‘ill fitting’ case studies allows us to trace in more precise detail the boundaries – the extent, the force and the limits – of predominant narratives
