DESCRIPTION:Room 102\nFor this session\, we have the privilege of enjoying 
 “Coffee and Comparative Law with... Professor René Provost” - a respected 
 member of 91������'s faculty who teaches and conducts research in public int
 ernational law\, international human rights law\, international humanitari
 an law\, legal theory and legal anthropology.\nProf. Provost will join us 
 in discussing his 'Cannibal Laws' - a fascinating piece in which he explor
 es the tension in the association of law and cannibalism as a way of unpac
 king our understanding of law as a social practice. In it\, he suggests th
 ere are three ways of interrogating that tension\, three different 'cannib
 al laws' that each illustrates a unique facet of our understanding of law.
  He writes:\n'The first cannibal law is the law that seeks to repress the 
 practice of cannibalism. In this relation\, law constructs the practice as
  an object to be regulated. This is an étude on the theme of regulation\, 
 and its motif is legal positivism. The second cannibal law is the law that
  the cannibals make. In this relation\, law offers a normative framework f
 or understanding the practice of cannibalism not merely as an irrational o
 r depraved act\, but as a part of a system of norms that fulfils a specifi
 c function. This is an étude on the theme of normative agency\, and its mo
 tif is legal pluralism. The third cannibal law is the way in which legal d
 iscourse relates to other forms of social discourse. In this relation\, ca
 nnibalism stands as a metaphor for the manner in which legal discourse con
 sumes all other ways of understanding\, which are digested and transformed
  to aliment legal analysis. This is an étude on the theme of representatio
 n\, and its motif is the cultural study of legal hermeneutics.'\nQuestions
