Fran莽ois Ost to give two talks at the Law Faculty
Professor Fran莽ois Ost, vice-principal at the
Facult茅s universitaires Saint-Louis, Belgium, will be at 成人VR视频's
Faculty of Law on January 24, 2011, to deliver two talks.
His first talk, titled Intraduisible? Qu'entendez-vous par l脿? is part of the 芦 Les intraduisibles en droit civil 禄 series of workshops organised by the Quebec Research Centre of Private & Comparative Law. Fran莽ois Ost will examine the notion of "un intraduisible" along with comparative law's vocation of translation.
Professor Ost will also give this year's Wainwright Lecture. Titled Le marchand de Venise: Le pari et la dette, le jeu et la loi, the conference will examine Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice through several lenses聽: a legal approach, focusing on the famous case at if it were a real contracted loan and a real trial, a more symbolic approach that plays on poetic justice, and an anthropological approach that will show that in this play, law is not only the instrument of passion, but rather its object.
To open this Wainwright Lecture, which deals with a play, three actors for the Actus Reus student theatre club will present an excerpt from Antigone Voil茅e, a play by Fran莽ois Ost himself. In this reprise of the Greek myth, Fran莽ois Ost updates the classic Antigone drama into a modern story by recasting the protagonist as a young veiled Muslim woman named A茂cha.
