dc.description.abstractTextbooks provide comfort. But does comfort provide the most fertile ground for learning? In this paper, we propose an alternative to the international legal textbook: a scriptbook to be used for reenactments. Where textbooks in international criminal law seek closure, scriptbooks written for re-enactment are meant to open up. Where textbooks provide order and structure, scriptbooks cherish the contingent and the undecided. Where textbooks engender feelings of comfort, re-enactments of scripts in a scriptbook can be discomforting. But it is precisely this discomfort that makes the re-enactment a powerful pedagogical tool.
