Sovereignty and the Persistence of the Aesthetic
British constitutional thought tends to understand sovereignty in legalistic terms, with the concept often equated with the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty. As Loughlin and Tierney have recently argued, this approach obscures the political considerations which undergird the legal precept. In this article we argue that this approach misses a third, and essentially important, dimension to sovereignty. Law, politics and aesthetics all play equ…
Sovereignty in the Anthropocene
This article is an edited version of a conversation animated by Daniel Matthews’ recent monograph Earthbound: The Aesthetics of Sovereignty in the Anthropocene. We discuss the impetus and context for the book, its contribution to an emergent literature on law and the Anthropocene, and its commentary on the continued relevance of humanistic approaches to law and politics. The conversation traverses a range of concerns raised by Earthbound, such as…
Earthbound: The Aesthetics of Sovereignty in the Anthropocene
Examines how sovereignty inures us from the challenges associated with the climate crisis Engages with the work of Bruno Latour, Simone Weil, Clive Hamilton, Jacques Rancière, Donna Haraway, Judith Butler, Giorgio Agamben, Stuart Elden and others Presents an innovative theory of sovereignty’s ‘aesthetics’ that contributes to contemporary debates in legal and political theory Outlines the key challenges for law and politics provoked by the Anthrop…
Laws for the Anthropocene: Orientations, Encounters, Imaginaries
Re-storying Laws for the Anthropocene: Rights, Obligations and an Ethics of Encounter
From Global to Anthropocenic Assemblages: Re‐Thinking Territory, Authority and Rights in the New Climatic Regime
In a widely read study, Saskia Sassen uses the territory, authority, rights (TAR) framework in order to analyse the transformation of social life in the West from ‘medieval’ to ‘global’ assemblages. In the context of rapid, planetary climatic change – with many claiming that we have entered a new and climatically uncertain epoch known as the Anthropocene – does the TAR framework provide the relevant conceptual resources required to understand the…
Narrative, Space and Atmosphere: A Nomospheric Inquiry into Hong Kong’s Pro-democracy ‘Umbrella Movement’
Since the financial crash of 2008, the strategy of occupation has been widely deployed as a means of expressing and mobilizing political dissent. Within legal studies, responses to this mode of protest have remained wedded to a statist perspective that fails to assess the normative commitments immanent to occupations themselves. Rather than examining the strategy of occupation through a legalistic lens, this article approaches a recent occupation…
