Words matter: Meaning and power by Sally McConnell-Ginet
No full textIsn’t speaking grammatically important anymore? What might be meant by ‘hate speech’ or ‘dangerous speech’? ‘Does ‘free speech’ license saying anything at all in any context? (pp. 1-2). These kinds of issues are a focus of this book. The ideas articulated by Sally McConnell-Ginet are an analysis of everyday linguistic interactions. While McConnell-Ginet is an Emeritus Professor of Linguistics, she appeals to the general reader by challenging them to develop an awareness of these kinds of encounters. The concept here is that language is not some abstract idea but is socially situated

"‘Using the old names anew’: Derek Walcott and Graeco-Roman Antiquity"
In this Speaker Series, Dr Justine McConnell explores the ways in which the St Lucian poet and dramatist, Derek Walcott, winner of the 1992 Nobel Prize for Literature, re-imagines tragedy, epic, and the myths they retell.
Derek Walcott once declared, ‘What is needed is not new names for old things, or old names for old things, but the faith of using the old names anew’. For Walcott, this is a strategy that – far from signalling a derivative aspect in his writing – nurtures the creation of new work that recasts older forms without being overshadowed by them. Famously, Walcott denied that his book-length poem Omeros was an epic, but he went on to qualify that statement by asking us to rethink what we understand by ‘epic’. So too, the title of his drama The Isle is Full of Noises evokes Shakespeare’s The Tempest, but the tale it tells is also of a Philoctetes-figure nicknamed Crusoe and the modern exploitation of St Lucia in the name of tourism; and his early play Ione embeds a mashup of several Greek tragedies (Aeschylus’ Agamemnon and Seven Against Thebes, Euripides’ Medea and The Bacchae) within a context of Caribbean oral storytelling.
Contesting the imperial power dynamics European works have often been used to propagate, Walcott contributes to the creation of a new body of Caribbean literature and asserts a place for Caribbean art in a global, transhistorical canon.
Presented online (Zoom meeting) on Monday 30 May 2022 at 15:00 SAST. Chaired by Prof. Mark Fleishman.

Unconstitutional Conditions: Unrecognized Implications for the Establishment Clause
No full textIn this Article, Professor McConnell contends that the courts\u27 treatment of funding of religious and secular institutions conflicts with the analysis of government funding schemes almost universally accepted in other contexts. In doing so, the author accepts that the crude distinction between penalties and subsidies now employed in constitutional law is misleading and will not work. The author\u27s thesis is that the Supreme Court\u27s test for an establishment of religion, set forth in Lemon v. Kurtzman, relies squarely on this crude and misleading distinction and must before be rejected or reinterpreted
