Impermissibly importing the common law into Criminal Codes: Pollock v The Queen
No full textIn the recent case of Pollock v The Queen, the High Court stated that: 'In interpreting the language of s 304 [of the Criminal Code 1899 (Qld) which deals with the partial defence to murder of provocation] it is permissible to have regard to decisions expounding the concept of ''sudden provocation'' subsequent to the Code's enactment.' This paper takes issue with the purported 'permissibility' of importing into a section originally drafted in 1897 and which reflected the law as expressed by Chief Justice Tindal in the 1833 case of R v Hayward, the current common law test for provocation in Australia as per Stingel v The Queen and Masciantonio v The Queen. The basis for this attack on the High Court's jurisprudence on Code interpretation is both specific and general. Specifically, this paper argues that the High Court impermissibly imported the current common law test for provocation into s304 in a strained manner by relying on a contrived reading of the phrase 'and before there is time for the person's passion to cool', whilst simultaneously ignoring the use of 'the person' not 'an ordinary person', in s304. More generally, it is respectfully argued that the High Court has broken the golden rule of code interpretation of not looking outside of the code to the common law unless the meaning is either unclear or has a prior technical meaning. The wider implication of such an approach is that the courts are infusing the common law into Criminal Codes despite the stated intention of codification being the replacement of 'all existing law and becomes the sole source of the law on the particular topic'. The relevance of a case study such as Pollock lies in highlighting the dangers to the internal consistency of codes, in the absence of legislative reform, flowing from judicial attempts to interpret a single section of a code in line with modern sensibilities. Furthermore, the case study draws attention to the opposite positions taken by the judiciary of Queensland and Western Australia in reading the definition of provocation for assault into the respective sections dealing with provocation and murder in the two Griffith Codes. This goes to the heart of Code interpretation and is testimony to the strength of precedent and 'settled' law, with the Queensland Government ignoring the opportunity to specifically insert an objective test into s304 when it amended the section in 2011.

Practising Duets #4: Griselda Pollock and Womanifesto
No full textAs a prelude to The Ignorant Art School Sit-in #4 exhibition Outside the Circle, Cooper Gallery will host the fourth iteration of Practising Duets, a series of trans-disciplinary events organised by The Ignorant Art Schools, a research group of the British Art Network (BAN).
Sharing reflections on knowledge formation, alternative art pedagogies and internationalism charged by feminist solidarity, leading feminist, postcolonial and social art historian Griselda Pollock will be in conversation with Varsha Nair one of the artist-organisers of Womanifesto, a Thailand based women artists’ collective.
Griselda Pollock and Womanifesto will subsequently participate in the exhibition Sit-in #4: Outside the Circle as part of The Ignorant Art School: Five Sit-ins Towards Creative Emancipation programme at Cooper Gallery.
The in-conversation event is chaired by Sophia Yadong Hao, Director of Cooper Gallery, University of Dundee

Derivation of specific epithet. Named in reference to the Osa Peninsula (Costa Rica), the geographical area from which almost all known specimens have been collected. Diagnosis. This species is one of the most distinctive in the genus, and exhibits the following diagnostic features: body elongate, elytra somewhat parallel-sided; antennomeres short, submoniliform; pronotum yellow, contrasting dark base of head and dark elytra; sutural margin of elytra with row of whitish setae. The abovementioned features (and others) isolate this species from all other members of Thisiomorphus; based on especially the shape of antennomeres and the contrasting color pattern, I suspect that T. osaensis is a component of a mimetic complex, the other members of which remain unknown. Description. measurements (in mm, N = 6): HL = 0.84–0.96; PL = 0.80–0.92; EL= 7.90 –10.00; GHW = 1.00– 1.08; GPW = 0.96–1.08; GEW = 1.76–2.08; TL = 4.92–5.80 mm. Measurement ratios: EL/GEW = 1.72–1.97; GPW/PL = 1.14–1.24; TL/GEW = 2.63–3.02; GPW/GHW = 0.96 –1.00. With characters of Thisiomorphus, and the following: Body distinctly elongate (TL / GEW 2.78), lateral elytral margins only slightly arcuate. Color. Antennae uniformly piceous except for rufous scape; maxillary palpi rufous to piceous, terminal palpomere darker than preceding 2 palpomeres; head rufous anteriorly, becoming abruptly darker, piceous to black, at about midlength of eye; anterior margin of dark area with V-shaped incision medially; pronotum rufotestaceous, in most specimens with irregular, sub-triangular piceous basal area, extended anteriorly to near midlength; elytra uniformly non-metallic piceous, light colored setae giving indistinct impression of sutural vitta; femora rufotestaceous, infuscated piceous distally; tibiae and tarsi piceous; venter rufous, mesothorax somewhat darker, corresponding to darker prosternum. Antennae relatively short; antennomeres short, submoniliform, 8–10 very slightly widened distally. Pronotum relatively narrow, slightly wider than long (GPW / PL 1.19), subequal in width to head (GPW / GHW 0.98); lateral margins very slightly arcuate, widest about midlength; dorsal surface evenly convex, without depressions. Male genitalia. Parameres slightly shorter than basale, inner margins very shallowly sinuate basally; basale with anterior margin slightly curved, lateral margins straight to near base, then abruptly angulate. Distribution. All known specimens are known from southern COSTA RICA (Puntarenas). All but one specimen were collected on the Osa Peninsula.Published as part of Pollock, Darren A., 2016, Revision of Thisiomorphus Pic (Coleoptera: Mycteridae: Eurypinae) with descriptions of eleven new species from Central and South America and a key to genera of Neotropical Eurypinae, pp. 301-322 in Zootaxa 4093 (3) on page 319, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4093.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/26410

Jackson Pollock's Noir Sensibility: Hans Namuth's "Pollock Painting" as Experimental Film Noir
No full text41 pg.Hans Namuth's film "Pollock Painting" (1951), from its inception, remains ambiguously described as a documentary, utilized in large Pollock retrospectives as a visual aid for his canonical drip technique. This paper will argue that because Namuth produced his film after viewing photographs of Jackson Pollock in "Life" magazine, Namuth's filmic vision of the artist was not a vision of objective documentation, but rather was constructed photographically from Pollock's mass-media "action painter" persona. The photographs taken for "Life" magazine as well as Namuth's own photographs of Pollock served as templates for the creation of Pollock as a self-destructive noir protagonist. With the help of Paul Faulkenberg, a popular producer friendly with the Film Noir director Fritz Lang, "Pollock Painting" can be considered an early experimental film (in my paper I used Maya Daren as a parallel) that uses popular cinematic techniques found in the visual vocabulary of Film Noir. The use of the cinematic techniques of the flashback, object symbolism and the self-destruction of the protagonist in Hans Namuth's film "Pollock Painting" shows that a film noir sensibility explicitly utilized in noir popular culture films pervaded visual culture when Namuth filmed "Pollock Painting." Namuth appropriated Pollock's "action" image from the mass media, including "Life" magazine, only to represent (and even allude) to Pollock's inevitable demise. Namuth's "noir sensibility," expressed through "Pollock Painting," depicted "Pollock" as the troubled protagonist destined to violently self-destruct before the viewer's eyes. In "Pollock Painting," Namuth filmed Pollock carefully painting on glass in sequence three, representing Pollock's dismissal of his infamous drip technique in exchange for delicate figuration. Paradoxically, this noir image of the artist reflected Pollock's life: unable to live up to his "action painter" persona Pollock returned to his favored alcohol addiction, abandoned his famed drip-technique, and violently self-destructed.Advisor(s): Bogart, Michele H.Uroskie, Andrew V..
