Bartleby holds or occupies space. He sits behind a folding screen, stands in a dead wall reverie, and remains so physical that he stands before the other clerks as an unwelcome tenant, an idler who has nonetheless laid claim to property. Though supremely embodied, a ruined column or an object whose sound behind the screen is most like the scrape of his chair, he takes on all the qualities of a phantom. Both chattel and real estate, movable and immovable, material and immaterial, affixed to the office as if part of its very walls, Bartleby reveals something about the ends of the law, once returned to the claims of spirit. What happens to the person who exists in dialogue with walls? Who stands only to bear witness to his own incapacitation? In self-willed ascesis, Bartleby stands forth as if a monk, a body worked up into spirit, a ghost of impairment that becomes the host of plenitude. What is the meaning of the portable green screen, first put up by the narrator so that he can command as if a disembodied voice, and then removed, leaving Bartleby the motionless occupant of a room? In this time of unrelenting taxonomies, when persons became things—either perishables in the market or fixtures on land—and where felons died in law but lived in fact, Bartleby stands at the limit screen or chancel of these categories, destabilizing the definitions crucial not only to property in slaves but to the regulatory beneficence of civil society. What first seems phantasmagoric is locked into a nature lived as a spectacle of servitude and possession. What we turned into ghosts originated in the legal language of property and persons. These juridical inventions, once summoned in the name of order and civility, were presented as the most natural, the most reasonable things in the world. As I move through these habitats of law’s creatures, I offer grounds for the gothic, a hybrid place into which are seeded legal fictions, spiritual beliefs, and historical fragments. The very notions of character, metaphor, and motive are there transfigured.

BACKGROUND: European guidelines recommend intravenous methylprednisolone as first-line treatment for active and severe Graves' orbitopathy; however, it is common for patients to have no response or have relapse after discontinuation of treatment. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of add-on mycophenolate to methylprednisolone in comparison with methylprednisolone alone in patients with moderate-to-severe Graves' orbitopathy.METHODS: MINGO was an observer-masked, multicentre, block-randomised, centre-stratified trial done in two centres in Germany and two in Italy. Patients with active moderate-to-severe Graves' orbitopathy were randomly assigned to receive intravenous methylprednisolone (500 mg once per week for 6 weeks followed by 250 mg per week for 6 weeks) either alone or with mycophenolate (one 360 mg tablet twice per day for 24 weeks). The prespecified primary endpoints were rate of response (reduction of at least two parameters of a composite ophthalmic index [eyelid swelling, clinical activity score, proptosis, lid width, diplopia, and eye muscle motility] without deterioration in any other parameter) at 12 weeks and rate of relapse (a worsening of symptoms that occurred after a response) at 24 and 36 weeks. Rates of response at week 24 and sustained response at week 36 were added as post-hoc outcomes. Prespecified primary outcomes and post-hoc outcomes were assessed in the modified intention-to-treat population (defined as all patients assigned to treatment who received at least one infusion of methylprednisolone, when outcome data were available), and safety was assessed in all patients who received at least one dose of study drug. This trial is registered with the EU Clinical Trials Register, EUDRACT number 2008-002123-93.FINDINGS: 164 patients were enrolled and randomised between Nov 29, 2009, and July 31, 2015. 81 were randomly assigned to receive methylprednisolone alone and 83 to receive methylprednisolone with mycophenolate. In the intention-to-treat population at 12 weeks, responses were observed in 36 (49%) of 73 patients in the monotherapy group and 48 (63%) of 76 patients in the combination group, giving an odds ratio (OR) of 1·76 (95% CI 0·92-3·39, p=0·089). At week 24, 38 (53%) of 72 patients remaining in the monotherapy group and 53 (71%) of 75 patients remaining in the combination therapy group had responded to treatment (2·16, 1·09-4·25, p=0·026). At week 24, relapse occurred in four (11%) of 38 patients in the monotherapy group and four (8%) of 53 patients in the combination group (OR 0·71, 0·17-3·03, p=0·72). At week 36, relapse occurred in an additional three (8%) patients in the monotherapy group and two (4%) patients in the combination group (0·65, 0·12-3·44, p=0·61). At week 36, 31 (46%) of 68 patients in the monotherapy group and 49 (67%) of 73 patients in the combination group had a sustained response (OR 2·44, 1·23-4·82, p=0·011). 23 patients had 24 serious adverse events, with 11 events in ten patients in the combination group and 13 events in 13 patients in the monotherapy group. Mild and moderate (grade 1-2) drug-related adverse events occurred in 16 (20%) of 81 patients receiving monotherapy and 21 (25%) of 83 patients receiving combination therapy (p=0·48).INTERPRETATION: Although no significant difference was seen in the rate of response at 12 weeks or rate of relapse at 24 and 36 weeks, post-hoc analysis suggested that addition of mycophenolate to treatment with methylprednisolone improved rate of response to therapy by 24 weeks in patients with active and moderate-to-severe Graves' orbitopathy.FUNDING: Novartis, Germany.

Both a tribute and ritual of remembrance, “And then came culture” elaborates the intensely political critique that Trouillot commanded throughout his life. Whether writing about Haiti, the silences of history, neocolonialism, or the relations between state and nation, he fought hard against the academic generalities and benign consensus that hid the realities of racism and erasure. One of the words that most haunted him—its uses and abuses—was the word “culture.” I trace that compelling concern throughout his work, most especially in a piece called “Adieu, Culture: A New Duty Arises,” a necessary warning about and corrective to the limits of liberal discourse.

This essay brings law more fully into the rituals of terror, the fictions of slavery that Brown portrays so powerfully in *The Reaper's Garden.* In tracking the ghost-ridden traces of persons and property, I consider how palpable and visible remain the deposits of slave history, how natural become the uses of the supernatural. What are the limits of legal thought, and how deeply did it impress and transform the understanding of the sacred, not only for slaves but also for masters?

I might also have called this chapter “Reasonable Torture, Or the Sanctities,” since there is an indelible link between servility and torture, between theory and what I call the “sanctities.” On the following pages, I want to question the sanctified sphere of academic theorizing, the experience of servility that is tied to the practice of humanitarian care, and, ultimately, the choices we are offered as scholars, writers, and teachers in this time of terror. They are difficult choices. They force us to ask what it means to do intellectual work and how it fares in the present landscape of debasement and ruin.

The dogs of Hurricane Katrina, citizens turned refugees in the United States, disappeared “ghost-detainees” held incommunicado in prolonged detention, sick cows kicked and prodded in slaughter, nooses found in trees, in university offices, bombs dropped in residential areas of Gaza, the rationales and rituals of terror proliferate. The story I want to tell is not easily narrated, since the events do not move forward but keep repeating themselves, backtracking into a past that won’t quit. In this reenactment, random details, little things like spirits, pieces of wood or dirt, bones, blood, and skin matter. These remnants have a strange staying, or, to put it another way, saving power.
