TILBURG LAW REVIEW 22 (2017) 1-3 Tilburg Law Review BRILL NIJHOFF brill.com/tilr Editorial One of my most vivid memories from my time as Liberal Arts & Sciences stu- dent is when our program's founding father Willem Witteveen gave a guest lecture about his work and academic interests. This was the start of my first semester, September 2012. '1 often feel like a nomad, he explained, 'travelling from discipline to discipline, always searching, always in wonder'. He had this type of unique curiosity that knew no borders or limits. It amazed and changed me, as it did for many of my fellow students. I remember even more vividly when, on July 17, 2014, I heard the news that Willem, his wife and his daughter Marit (a classmate of mine) had been killed in a terrorist attack on flight MH7. I was sitting in my room in Perth, where I had arrived a week earlier, after flying over the same area. I remember wishing Marit a nice summer. She was the smartest in her class and such a kind spirit, too. I always felt she had such a bright future ahead of her, but this future was cruelly taken away from her, her mother, Willem, and 295 other passengers. Willem Witteveen was a professor of jurisprudence at Tilburg Law School and created multiple spaces for law and humanities in the Netherlands and beyond. Our 20(2) issue of autumn 2015 honored the life and work of Willem, with different articles in his honor written by his close colleagues. This special issue on 'Translating Law' takes a different approach and seeks to continue Willem's legacy by giving a stage to scholars that have adopted a similar kind of nomadic perspective to law. Not just with regard to interdisciplinarity, but also with respect to different languages, countries and times. The term 'Translating Law' should hence be understood in this broad sense. This issue starts with two interdisciplinary articles written by former lau- reates of the Witteveen Memorial Fellowship on Law and Humanities. The first one is authored by Nayeli Urquiza-Haas, who invokes the ancient Greek tragedian Aeschylus' The Suppliant Maidens to provide a defense for hearing of refugee testimonies. Rakhshan Rizwan, in turn, examines the emerge of a pleasure-centric model of human rights advocacy in South Asia through the lens of Kashmiri literary fiction. @ KONINKLIJKE BRILL NV, LEIDEN, 2017 DOI 10.1163/22112596-02201001
