Gender, War, and Technology: Peace and Armed Conflict in the Twenty-First Century
5 See for example the robots developed by the Japanese-owned, MIT spin-off company, Boston Dynamics: https://www.bostondynamics.com/about(accessed 21 February 2017).For an example of how military technology is envisioned, see the US Defense Department's 'Project Maven', which is developing an algorithmic form of warfare where '[p]eople and computers will work symbiotically to increase the ability of weapon systems to detect objects'.United States…
Theorizing International Environmental Law
This chapter opens up some new theoretical perspectives on environmental law, which has surprisingly been subjected to little theoretical speculation. International environmental law is generally characterized as quintessential ‘soft law’: general principles and aspirational treaties with weak or exhortatory compliance mechanisms, often dependent on other disciplines altogether—science and economics—for direction and legitimacy. At the same time,…
The Gentle Cannibal: The Rise and Fall of Lawful Milk
Milk, a globally traded commodity, is ubiquitous throughout our food systems. In light of its ever-increasing production and consumption, this article seeks to contextualise the fluid within a history of its regulation, tracing the role of state intervention in shifting milk feeding from the domestic to the public and to the international sphere; from the sacred and precious to the surplus and profane; and from corporeal matter to industrial mate…
Dogs, Pigs and Children: Changing Laws in Colonial Britain
Law and the Question of the (Nonhuman) Animal
The turn of the millennium has witnessed an extraordinary paradox—one identified by Jacques Derrida as a simultaneous increase in violence against nonhuman animals and compassion toward them. This article turns to critical legal theory as well as to recent work by continental philosophers on the human/animal distinction in order to make sense of the ways the paradox manifests in law, arguing that so-called animal welfare laws that appear to be po…
Endgame: Feminist Lawyers and the Revolutionary Body
This article examines feminist fantasies of revolution and the revolutionary body, arguing that rather than seeking to substitute for law an order without a name, international law should instead be thought as a space in which to hold onto the question of authority, where crisis and revolution are not singular events but rather, movements that are created by the act of re-reading legal text
Of Mimicry and Madness: Speculations on the State
This article looks at the deployment of violence between and within states in terms of mimetic desire, using the work of Rene Girard, Jacques Lacan and Luce Irigaray
