<p class="MsoNormal"><a name="OLE_LINK1"></a><a name="OLE_LINK2">On Monday, Sept. 22 at 4:30pm in Room 100 Clark House at Amherst College, Julie Peters, Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University will present a paper entitled
<b>“ Theatres of Punishment: Dramaturgy, Spectacle, and Spectatorship from the Guillotine to Abu Ghraib<i>.</i>”</b> This is the first presentation in a series of seminars that will take place this year on the theme
<span style="color:#1F497D">“</span>Law as Performance.”<o:p></o:p></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Professor Peters teaches and writes on theatre, film, and other media, as well as on legal history and culture. Her publications include
<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Theatre of the Book: Print, Text, and Performance in Europe 1480-1880</span></em>, (Oxford, 2000) and
<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Women’s Rights, Human Rights: International Feminist Perspectives</span></em>, (Routledge 1995). Currently, she is working on a historical study of legal performance and law’s fraught relationship with its
own theatricality. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To receive a copy of the paper which will examine the ongoing centrality of performance and spectatorship to practices of punishment, please email the LJST Dept. Coordinator at
