Biolegality: How Biology and Law Redefine Sociality
As an empirical concept, biolegality emerged at the height of biotechnological advances in Euro-American societies when rapid changes in the life sciences (including molecular biology, immunology, and the neurosciences) and their attendant techniques (including reproductive technologies and gene editing) started to challenge ethical norms, legal decisions, and legal forms. As a theoretical concept, biolegality deepens the Foucauldian notion of bi…

Paul Ricoeur's Renewal of Philosophical Anthropology: Vulnerability, Capability, Justice
In Paul Ricoeur's Renewal of Philosophical Anthropology: Vulnerability, Capability, Justice, Marc de Leeuw argues that Ricoeur's philosophical project integrates the anthropological tradition while renewing its importance as a hermeneutic anthropology of human capability. Ricoeur posits that our cogito is neither its own absolute master, nor fully transparent to itself, inflicting a "wound" (brisé) and fracturing the center of Cartesian self-cert…
Personhood in the Age of Biolegality: Brave New Law
Human Rights, Legal Personhood and the Impersonality of Embodied Life
Since Locke, the concept of person has been closely linked to the idea of a subjective natural right and, later, to the concept of human rights. In this article we attempt to trouble this connection between humanity and personhood. For personhood is also an apparatus or dispositive of power. In the first half of the article, we identify a fundamental problem in the usual way human rights are connected to legal personhood by making use of insights…
Un-signing Geneva: Legal pragmatics in the management of asylum
In the last decade, several states have increasingly tried to ‘un-sign’ to their humanitarian obligations by seeking ways to circumvent European or international law. Through an analysis of a recently passed act in Australia on the management of asylum seekers, this paper examines how the practice of ‘un-signing’ can be seen as a symptomatic instance of reconfiguring asylum in late modernity. We focus on the proliferation of ‘legal pragmatics’ in…
N etherlands
The concepts of race, ethnicity, and nationalism have a specific history in the Dutch context. As many scholars argue, the concepts carry significant moral weight and are often avoided or conveniently ignored rather than seriously confronted or examined in the public and political sphere. The reasons for this collective avoidance can be located through the prism of three key terms—Dutch tolerance, Dutch liberalism, and Dutch identity—that corresp…
Civilizing migrants: Integration, culture and citizenship
On the brink of multiculturalism’s demise in Europe, ‘culture’ configures prominently in the immigration politics of Europe and its nation-states. New discourses of integration emphasize dominant values and norms and define civic membership through cultural commitment or loyalty. How is Europe doing integration, and what is integration doing to Europe? Taking its cues from the Dutch Integration Exam, this article analyses how ‘culture’ is paradig…

Please, Go Wake Up!”: Submission , Hirsi Ali, and the “War on Terror” in the Netherlands
Measured to our western standards, [the prophet] Mohammed is a perverse man. A tyrant. He is against the freedom of speech... Mohammed is a role model for all Muslim men. Do you find it strange that so many Muslim men are violent? You are frightened when I say such things, but you make a mistake that most native Dutch make: you forget where I'm coming from. I was a Muslim, I know what I'm talking about. (Ayaan Hirsi Ali cited in Arjan Visser 2003…
