Fela Aníkúlápó Kútì’s ‘cross-examination’ of the international system
Résumé
In what has been referred to as the 'aesthetic turn' 1 in international law, scholars are increasingly looking to non-textual materials to analyse issues within the discipline.Different scholars now acknowledge that if we are to critically dissect the problems of international law, or even understand the extent to which it affects our lives, we must move beyond the official texts.One such material is music.Musicians have provided radical and alternative perspectives on understanding and addressing the problems of the international system.While scholars have examined some of Fela Aníkúlápó Kútì's lyrics to illustrate this, no one has yet considered his song 'Cross-Examination'this performance is available on YouTube 2which re-enacts a court scene YouTube / anikulapo71, 'Fela Kuti -Cross Examination', Berliner Jazztage 1978, available at www.
