Summary imagining justice
Session 1, Humanities and Law
What does it mean to be human?
Aristotle: humans naturally …
1. … are political animals (Politics)
=> communication, religion (between animals and gods), law
2. … are animals possessing logos (speech, reason) (Politics)
=> language, science, stories, literature, poetry
3. … have a desire to know (Metaphysics)
=> history, philosophy, science
4. … are capable of imitating and taking pleasure in imitations (images) (Poetics)
=> culture: visual arts, literature, music…
What is law?

1. External approach: Law is a collective action trough and by a government
2. Internal approach: Law is a language of concepts, rules and principles
3. Justice approach: Law is an art of equality and determining what is good or what is not.


Areas in law

1. Private law> law regarding individuals and associates and their interaction
2. Public law> law regarding the relationship between the authority and the individual


Law and humanities

● Decalogue= the 10 amendments
● Nomos= law


Interconnectedness of law and narrative Narratives (stories) give context to the law. With narratives, law makes the world we live
in, instead of being just a system of rule in order of which we live.

Constitutions

A constitution is the highest law in a country

The preamble is the introductory part of a constitution and states the reason for and intent of a law. In the preamble you can often
clearly see the narrative to the law.

The narrative to the law

Legal country Narrative Important stuff

South-Africa Focusses on the injustice of Talks about God
the past

Rwanda Focusses on the Talks about equality
Tutsi-genocide

Israel Focusses on Jewish people No mention of God

,Hungary Western-orientated Mentions Christianity



Session 2, Sophocles/Antigone

● Summery of Antigone: ​Antigone begins with The two sons of Oedipus, ​Eteocles​ and ​Polyneices​, who are fighting for the
kingship of Thebes. Both men die in the battle. Their successor, ​Creon​, decides that King Eteocles will be buried, but
Polyneices, because he was leading a foreign army, will be left on the field of battle. ​Antigone​, his sister, buries him anyway.


Antigone is caught burying Polyneices and is condemned to death. Her fiance and Creon's son, ​Haemon​, learns about this and tries to
convince Creon to change his mind. It's only then that the seer Tiresias appears. After a long discussion, he finally persuades Creon that
the gods want Polyneices buried. By then it's too late -- Antigone has hung herself, Haemon kills himself when he finds her, and Creon's
wife kills herself when she learns about her son




- Oedipus: the first MF in European literature.
- Antigone: his daughter/sister, and the first civil disobedient/suicide activist in European literature.
-> Natural law “unwritten and unchanging laws”
- Creon: her uncle, ruler of Thebes.
-> legal positivism “we must obey”
- Haemon: her fiancé, son of Creon.
->legal realism/interactionism “the city is upset about the girl”, “The people here in Thebes all
say the same”
- Ismene: Antigone’s sister.

- Who is right? Why?
- What/whose laws (nomos - narrative)?
- Why is this a tragedy?

Antigone, Law, Tragedy
Look on fellow citizens
What is a tragedy

● There is a character with a flaw, which leads to a mistake (Creon)
● A climactic point of conflict/ the whole play reverses ( the point where Creon sees he has been blind and rushes to the
dungeons)
● There is unity of time and place (Almost the whole play takes place in the palace at the same day


Tragedy is also about

● Showing and tackling taboos (Oedipus complex in Antigone)
● Showing that we learn trough suffering: A transgression (ignorance) is committed, and it is as inevitable as it is
unforgivable. Understanding comes too late and punishment is excessive.


Core = The protagonist commits a transgression that is both inevitable and unforgivable. Understanding comes too late, and
punishment is excessive

, The human condition= ‘’Zeus, who guides mortals on the path to wisdom, has established as a fixed law: learning trough
suffering

The main theme of Antigone is the balance between law and ethics: When is law justified?

Character Analysis

Antigone: Contrary to Ismene, Against the Legal rules, sacrifices own life to bury her brother.

Creon: Suffers the burden of rules. Executes Antigone.

Why and when should we obey the law? What ensures the validity of the law? Why and when are laws just

1. Creon> legal positivists (Hobbes)
● We must obey whatever man the city puts in charge, just or unjust
● The law is
● A system of rules posited by competent authorities
● Separated from other domains (morality)
● Authority, not truth makes laws
● Made by humans
● Changeable
● Separated from other domains
● Following a system of rules, even though it might not be just (Nazi’s)
● Law - Justice
2. Antigone> natural law (Aristotle)
● We must obey natural laws, proclaimed by the Gods
● The law is
● Unwritten & unchanged
● Universal ideals and principles of justice
● Not made by humans and cannot be overruled by an earthly ruler
● Not separated from other domains
● Binds all men, even that have no association with each other
● The natural laws are often a starting point for human laws
● Law - Decree
3. Haemon > legal realism/ interactionism (Selznick)
● Law is influenced by the opinion of the people
● law is
● a mainstay of cultural identity
● A social phenomenon
● Regulation of mutual expectations regarding others behaviour
● Not separated from other domains
● A ‘’living’’ law
● A bridge between justice and community


Who is the tragic character in the play

Creon > He makes a great mistakes and realizes this while it is too late. Afterwards he is punished by loss of his wife and
daughter ‘

Antigone

Antigone challenges the legitimacy of a political community as such in the name of an other order.

Antigone (rebellious) and Ismene (passive) represent two opposing impulses.
