In this paper, I conceptualize ‘universal jurisdiction’ along three axes: rights, authority, and workability to reduce the compendium of scholarly work on the subject into three prominent focus areas. I then review the longstanding debates between critics and supports, and ultimately show the vitality of this debate and persuasiveness of each side’s sets of arguments. By using these three axes as a sort of methodological filter, one can develop a richer understanding of universal jurisdiction, its theoretical pillars, practical barriers, and the core areas of contention that form the contemporary state of knowledge.

Core Issues

In the aftermath of Edward Said's Orientalism (1978), European representations of Eastern cultures have returned to preoccupy the Western academy. Much of this work reiterates the point that nineteenth-century Orientalist scholarship was a corpus of knowledge that was implicated in and reinforced colonial state formation in India. The pivotal role of native informants in the production of colonial discourse and its subsequent use in servicing the material adjuncts of the colonial state notwithstanding, there has been some recognition in South Asian scholarship of the moot point that the colonial constructs themselves built upon an existing, precolonial European discourse on India and its indigenous culture. However, there is as yet little scholarly consensus or indeed literature on the core issues of how and when these edifices came to be formed, or the intellectual and cultural axes they drew from. This genealogy of colonial discourse is the subject of this essay. Its principal concerns are the formalization of a conceptual unit in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, called “Hinduism” today, and the larger reality of European culture and religion that shaped the contours of representation.

Way Of Thinking

The subject of tradition engaged both Emmanuel Lévinas and Jacques Derrida in many of their writings, which explore both the philosophical and cultural significance of tradition and the particular significance of the latter in a specifically Jewish context. Lévinas devoted a few of his Talmudic essays to the subject, and Derrida addressed the issue from the perspective of different philosophical and religious traditions. This article uses the writings of these two thinkers to propose a new way of thinking about the idea of tradition. At the core of its inquiry lie the paradigm of the letter and the use of this metaphor as a means of describing the concept of tradition. Using the phenomenon of the letter as a vantage point for considering tradition raises important points of discussion, due to both the letter’s nature as a text that is sent and the manifest and hidden elements it contains. The focus of this essay is the phenomenon of textual tradition, which encompasses different traditions of reading and interpreting texts and a grasp of the horizon of understanding opened up in relation to the text through its many different interpretations. The attention paid here to the actions of individuals serves to highlight the importance of the interpersonal realm and of ethical thought.

ResumoAs Alterações Ambientais Globais têm se colocado como pauta de inúmeras políticas e condicionantes culturais, econômicas e sociais em diferentes países no Mundo, sendo refletidas nas perspectivas educacionais. Dessa forma, procura-se, com este trabalho, apontar um cenário de concepção e de prática sobre as alterações ambientais globais no escopo do ensino de Geografia na educação profissional e tecnológica. Nesse sentido, o objetivo da pesquisa se assentou em desvelar os seguintes aspectos: 1) mecanismos metodológicos para as aulas desenvolvidas; 2) eixos analíticos sobre as Alterações Ambientais Globais; 3) instrumentos utilizados; 4) referenciais teóricos; 6) papel do livro didático; 7) enfoques formativos dos docentes. Para isto, foi aplicado um questionário a docentes de uma instituição da rede federal de educação profissional e tecnológica no Brasil, denominada Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia. O questionário foi empregado para 11 docentes, apresentando interrogações sobre os itens acima enumerados. Obteve-se como resultado que há o predomínio de aulas expositivas e seminários, as análises sobre o tema ocorrem, majoritariamente, pelas mudanças climáticas e desmatamento, as aulas se baseiam em maior parte nos documentários e gráficos, há a prevalência de referenciais teóricos brasileiros, ocorre a constatação ampla de que os livros didáticos são deficitários e mais de 35% dos professores consideram que suas formações não possuem enfoque para o trabalho com as Alterações Ambientais Globais.

Focus on the NarrativeThe Vartov Book. Edited by Asta Poulsen, Jørgen Kristensen and E. Jakob Petersen. 168 pp. Published Kirkeligt Samfunds Forlag. Reviewed by Viggo Mortensen. byThis review is also largely in the form o f an informative article showing how Grundvig’s authorship is still an inspiration, not only within the traditional Grundtvig circles but also in the current debate on Church politics and cultural affairs.The editors o f The Vartov Book have elected to centre their essays on a view expressed in a theological dissertation that was presented at Århus University in 1981, in which major areas o f Grundtvig’s theology are interpreted on the basis that “Christianity at heart is a narrative” (Sv. Bjerg: The Basic Christian Narrative, Århus 1981, cf. A . Pontoppidan Thyssen in Danish Theological Journal 1/1982).Amongst the many essays in The Vartov Book that in various ways point to the value o f narrating reality - before, that is, philosophy, politics, behavioural science and statistics had alienated us from the world - Viggo Mortensen singles out Peter Balslev-Clausen’s treatment o f Grundtvig’s poem, “Thou faded leaves, thou cool wind” (I falmede blade, du kølige vind). This poem, now included in the supplement to the Danish Hymnbook - “46 Hymns”, is seen in an authoritative analysis as an element in Grundtvig’s wrestling with the basic conditions o f existence. In fact it is these basic conditions that are the subject o f all the essays.

Study Case

The aim of the study is to analyze Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s speech at United Nations’ Security Council on September 22, 1965. The study attempts to uncover the meanings of the words employed to show the core tension of 1965 war between Pakistan and India. There have been different models of CDA presented by scholars like Fairclough, Wodak and Van Dijk, but the most suitable CDA framework for this study case is of Van Dijk. His (1997) framework for critical discourse analysis provides the clear picture of the ideologies expressed in various kinds of structures. Qualitative methodology has been employed for this study and the content of the speech was analyzed qualitatively. The findings of the study elaborate that Bhutto was determined to have a permanent peace in the region. It can also be observed that he was quite confident in buying peace for Pakistani and the neighboring countries. He reinforced the subject matter with multiple instances of the countries that faced the same war-like circumstances and rose again with new zeal and zest. The study has its theoretical as well as practical scope.
