Fifty Years of the Divorce Reform Act 1969
The enactment of the Divorce Reform Act 1969 was a landmark moment in family law. Coming into force in 1971, it had a significant impact on legal practice and was followed by a dramatic increase in divorce rates, reflecting changes in social attitudes. This new interdisciplinary collection explores the background to the 1969 Act and its influence on law and society. Bringing together scholars from law, sociology, history, demography, literature a…
The Jew and the tank: Habit and habitus towards a theodicy of war
Histories of the Arab–Israeli War of 1967 have advanced a curious commonplace. As they have sought to account for the decisive factors in what they treat as a decisive war, soldiers and interpreters of their arguments have tacitly resorted to what Adolf Loos once referred to as a ‘principle of cladding’, or bekleidungsprinzip, in order to explain the successes of Israel’s armored corps. The bekleidungsprinzip is not a military principle but a dic…
Towards a doxology of war
This article considers the pre-predicative dimensions of contemporary threat assessments in order to evaluate the importance of doxa to contemporary political analysis. Beginning with review of conventional and popular claims about ISIS, it suggests that the pre-dispositives of argument – the uncontested terms of contestation that typically shackle ISIS to a horizon of fear – actually constitute political artefacts in their own right. Their exami…
Who's Afraid of Isis?' Security doxa and the doxa of insecurity
In theories of praxis, doxa are commonly understood as predispositives to judgment. They cannot be apprehended directly but must be derived from the insufficiencies of the most commonplace assertions and the most transparently typified reactions to them. As the uncontested predicates of further contention, doxa are far from epiphenomal to the concerns of any critical studies on security, as the essays in this collection seek to elucidate. The stu…
Inheritance Families of Choice’? Lawyers' Reflections on Gay and Lesbian Wills
This article presents the findings of research about the will‐writing practices of gays and lesbians. It develops a conversation between sociological literature about ‘families of choice’, which is silent about inheritance, and socio‐legal research about ‘inheritance families’, which is relatively silent about sexuality. It demonstrates how research with lawyers can contribute to thinking about inheritance and complement historical archives about…

The Post-Conflict Environment: Investigation and Critique
In case studies focusing on contemporary crises spanning Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe, the scholars in this volume examine the dominant prescriptive practices of late neoliberal post-conflict interventions—such as statebuilding, peacebuilding, transitional justice, refugee management, reconstruction, and redevelopment—and contend that the post-conflict environment is in fact created and sustained by this international technocratic …
The Pleasures and Perils of Inheritance
Facing death, reflecting on one’s legacies (material and ethical, personal and political) and the legal and interpersonal attempts to resolve or prevent inheritance conflicts, all bring to the fore constructions of memory and identity, intergenerational relations, and the complexities of doing and undoing family and kinship. Consequently, drawing attention to inheritance, keeping sight of it, and bringing it into play is a useful piece of the puz…

Challenging homophobic bullying in schools: The politics of progress
In recent years homophobic bullying has received increased attention from NGOs, academics and government sources and concern about the issue crosses traditional moral and political divisions. This article examines this ‘progressive’ development and identifies the ‘conditions of possibility’ that have enabled the issue to become a harm that can be spoken of. In doing so it questions whether the readiness to speak about the issue represents the opp…

(Re)constructing the Head Teacher: Legal Narratives and the Politics of School Exclusions
School exclusions are a site of political and social contestation and in recent years statutory reforms and popular demands have focused on increasing the autonomy of head teachers. This article explores this trend and questions why, in a culture of human and children's rights, head teachers have such extensive powers within their schools and why law has, to a large extent, failed to provide a check on these powers. It does so not by doctrinal an…

New guidance/old problems: Recent developments in sex education
Sex education is a controversial area of public policy and over the last 20 years it has also been highly politicized. The election of the Labour government in 1997 raised the hopes of children's rights and health campaigners for a move away from the traditional moralistic approach adopted by the previous administration in favour of a more progressive and pragmatic approach. To date the government has attempted, unsuccessfully, to repeal Section …

Sex education and HIV/Aids: Political conflict and legal resolution
Throughout the last decade sex education has been a site of intense political struggle. This article identifies how the legal regulation of sex education operates in such a way as to incorporate conflicting discursive problematisations of HIV/AIDS and childhood sexuality through the construction of distinct categories within the sex education curriculum and the legitimisation of distinct roles for parents, teachers and health professionals within…

Sex Education and the Problematization of Teenage Pregnancy: A Genealogy of Law and Governance
This essay provides a theoretical examination of the law regulating sex education and focuses in particular on the way in which it responds to teenage pregnancies. Adopt ing a post-structural approach, it seeks to demystify the 'common-sense' political consensus in Britain that the current rate of teenage pregnancies is a 'problem', by examining how they are problematized by the social constructions, and moral and economic values and calculations…

A Home for the Brave: The “Place” of Emancipation in Postcolonial Criticism
The essay can calmly and proudly set its fragmentariness against the petty completeness of scientific attitude or impressionistic freshness; but its purest fulfillment, its most vigorous accomplishment becomes powerless once the great aesthetic comes . . . the essay seems truly and completely a mere precursor, and no independent value can be attached to it. ... Thus the essay seems justified as a necessary means to the ultimate end, the penultima…
