O presente artigo trata a respeito dos julgamentos de animais ocorridos especialmente entre os séculos XIV e XVI conforme exposto na obra do estudioso estadunidense E. P. Evans “The Criminal Prosecution and Capital Punishment of Animals”. Através da análise de preceitos filosóficos, do disposto pelo autor e também pelo estudo de um exemplo trazido por Evans em que Gaspard Bailly expunha como deveriam ser conduzidos os processos contra animais, é possível observar que, apesar de tais julgamentos serem eivados de contradições, a Igreja Católica, instituição julgadora, não poderia se furtar de decidir a respeito dos casos, utilizando-os como demonstração da força divina, da importância da Igreja e da necessidade de cumprimento dos preceitos religiosos.

This article offers a fresh examination of the representation of nonhuman animals in Beckett’s early aesthetics, using “Dante and the Lobster” as a case study. Beckett’s story is illuminated by historical documents including newspaper articles, which will allow readers to see more clearly the deliberate parallels drawn between the question of the lobster’s suffering and the planned execution of a criminal that Belacqua contemplates throughout the day. An alternative reading model of the text, focusing on the Joycean concept of parallax rather than the Dantean concept of pity, will be developed. The article closes by examining Beckett’s views on allegorical readings of texts containing representations of nonhuman animals and his later notes on E. P. Evans’s 1906 work,The Criminal Prosecution and Capital Punishment of Animals.

Texas has created more constitutional law than any other state. In any classroom nationwide, any basic constitutional law course can be taught using nothing but Texas cases. That, however, understates the history and politics behind the cases. Beyond representing all doctrinal areas of constitutional law, Texas cases deal with the major issues of the nation. This book charts the rich and pervasive development of Texas-inspired constitutional law. From voting rights to railroad regulations, school finance to capital punishment, poverty to civil liberty, this book provides a window into the relationship between constitutional litigation and ordinary politics at the Texas Supreme Court, illuminating how all of the fiercest national divides over what the Constitution means took shape in Texas.
