  \n\nDescription: \n***OPEN INVITE TO ALL***(Right: Sokutaipu keyboard lay
 out, image courtesy of Tsuguo Kaneko)Title: Law’s Media: The Stenographic
  Typewriter and Postwar Legal Reform in JapanThe Japanese stenographic typ
 ewriter was introduced into the court system after WWII.  In the prewar Ja
 panese courts, verbatim records were never required, and neither the ste
 nographic typewriter nor shorthand stenography, both of which were availa
 ble, was used.  As part of the post-World War II democratization policies
  under the US occupation, however, judicial reform adopted the principle
  of direct trial and the adversarial system from Anglo-American law.  This
  was accompanied by the introduction of cross-examination.  These changes 
 prompted the recruitment and training of court stenographers and mandatory
  stenographic recording in the court.  This presentation will situate the 
 invention and use of the stenographic typewriter in the court in the conte
 xt of modernizing and democratizing the Japanese postwar judicial system. 
  The conversion of speech into written statements and into legal documents
  is centrally constitutive of modern legal facts.  The mundane practice of
  turning speech into writing in the field of law is, however, neither ne
 utral nor transparent.  This technical process that converts immaterial sp
 eech into a material court record entails a formidable political process i
 n which speech, a fleeting aural occurrence, is turned into a forensic o
 bject endowed with the durable modern epistemological status of “fact” and
  “truth.”  I will discuss how modern legal epistemologies such as evidence
  and intention shape and are shaped by the technical and historical specif
 icity of the recording device, and how the “law”would look like concrete 
 technical recording device. \n\nCategories \n Colloquium Series \n\nAudien
