Word Magic / Language and Myth, Ernst Cassirer

When, in Roman law, the concept of the "legal person" was formally articulated, and this status was denied to certain physical subjects, those subjects were also denied official possession of a proper name. Under Roman law a slave had no legal name, because he could not function as a legal person.

Pawers on Stage

take the stage
make your rules
you are the law
find your voice

law as a body
paw that law!

get out of your body
move in a bow
shake your
tongue with
fresh made law

law as a body
paw that law!

instant law
constant paw!

law as a body
paw that law!

law as a body
paw that law!

#academia V-GIRLS

http://thev-girls.tumblr.com/

"The V-Girls are Andrea Fraser, Jessica Peri Chalmers, Marianne Weems, Erin Cramer and Martha Baer.  Between 1986 and 96 they presented three panel-performances at galleries, museums and universities both nationally and internationally:  Academia in the Alps: In Search of the Swiss Mis(s) took on the children’s book Heidi as a pretext for talking about issues relating to women in academe, among other things;  The Question of Manet’s Olympia: Posed and Skirted was our panel on art history and theory; and Daughters of the ReVolution approached questions of  generational difference within feminism.  There was, in addition, an earlier panel-presentation Sex in Your Holiday Season that was performed once.
The group was never a traditional theater group but a “reading-and-performance” group whose public presentations evolved out of private meetings and discussions. Formed in the early 1980s to read feminist psychoanalytic theory, the group ended in 96 with Daughters, which charted difficulties in women’s groups and groups in general, including their own. "
