The Cambridge Handbook on the Material Constitution
Despite a long and venerable tradition, the material constitution almost disappeared from constitutional scholarship after the Second World War. Its marginalisation saw the rise of a normative and legalistic style in constitutional law that neglected the role of social reality and political economy. This collection not only retrieves the history and development of the concept of the material constitution, but it tests its theoretical and practica…
Imagining Europe
What can the cultural study of law tell us about the European Union (EU)? How can we study the European political imagination? This paper demonstrates that the European political imagination is both composite and multifaceted. It is structured not merely by EU law but also by the constitutional orders of the EU Member States. A cultural analysis of European law must therefore include the constitutional worldviews of the Member States. In the poli…
European public law after empires
This article seeks to remedy a fundamental flaw in the debate about European integration and European Union (EU) law: the almost complete absence of a reckoning with the legacy of empire and imperialism. The article shows that the significance of EU law can be understood only against the background of the historical transformation of the European public law order with the decline of the European empires. European integration is an integral part o…
Varieties of Constitutionalism in the European Union
The underlying assumption of constitutional pluralism, one of the dominant theories of EU legal scholarship, is a fundamental constitutional homogeneity amongst the EU Member States allowing for harmonious co‐existence and ‘constitutional tolerance’. This article challenges this assumption by demonstrating that the EU is characterised by a fundamental constitutional heterogeneity. It argues that the Member States are influenced by at least three …
Towards the Blasphemous Self
By challenging or scorning what has been thought of as the sacred core of society, the blasphemer has been historically seen as the societal other. In contemporary Denmark, however, the perception of the blasphemer has changed. In this article, I argue that the study of parliamentary debates about the future of the blasphemy provision in Danish penal law over the last one hundred years shows that the blasphemy provision is a ‘floating signifier’ …
