    A note on psychoanalysis and the crime of torture
    CLEMENS, JUSTIN ; Grigg, Russell ( 2006)
    Let's be clear. Torture is an international crime under all circumstances. Countries in which torture is sanctioned are considered states that violate human rights - to the extent that they may well be vernacularly denominated 'criminal states.' Every country has a legal and moral obligation to prevent the use of torture. This includes prosecuting those who have engaged in torture or otherwise supported its practice, discouraging other states from the use of torture, and, if the acts have been committed outside their jurisdiction, to extradite the alleged perpetrator to a state that has such jurisdiction.

    On depression considered as acephalic melancholia
    CLEMENS, JUSTIN ( 2003)
    “Pain and suffering begin with existence and end when it ends, and this end gives pain and suffering to those who survive.” — Jean-Luc Nancy This statement by Nancy opens a subsection of his book entitled “Pain, suffering, unhappiness,”(1977:143) in which the question of art necessarily arises, and arises necessarily because of modern art’s integral link to aesthetics, the science of feeling. Aesthetics, since at least the latter part of the eighteenth century, functions as a theory of the threshold between sense and sensibilia (to cite J.L. Austin), in which the pleasures and pains of a person’s particular body are bound up with a problem of a universal thought that is neither moral nor cognitive. Both passive and active, aesthetic judgements about art become part of the making of art itself, and these aesthetic judgements are ultimately founded in nothing other than pleasure and pain. Everything else is derivative. Yet it is also true that such derivatives are immensely valuable, the indices of a properly human life.
