Beyond Reparations
The legal form of reparation accounts for a limited set of relations of harm. Its very design excludes loss and damages embedded in socio-ecological infrastructures of harm spread across matter, subjects, space, and time. The socio-ecological infrastructures centered in this article are both material and legal: the siting and zoning of petrochemical plants in “Cancer Alley,” Louisiana, and the land use permits and property rights that emplace the…
Entangled harms
Transnational climate litigation has become a strategic tool to press state and non-state actors into action. An analysis of international and domestic cases shows how rights and obligations are being materially, subjectively, spatially and temporally stretched in judicial proceedings. This article focuses on three distinct grammars of climate justice activated in climate litigation. The analysis exposes a shift from a traditional to a progressiv…
On phantom publics, clusters, and collectives
This article starts from the observation that practices of ‘algorithmic governmentality’ or ‘governance by data’ are reconfiguring modes of social relationality and collectivity. By building, first, on an empirical exploration of digital bordering practices, we qualify these emergent algorithmic categories as ‘clusters’—pulsing patterns distilled from disaggregated data. As fluid, modular, and ever-emergent forms of association, these ‘clusters’ …
Constitutionalizing in the Anthropocene
Constitutionalizing in the Anthropocene: an introductionThe contributions to this symposium on 'Constitutionalizing in the Anthropocene' (CitA) arise out of a workshop hosted at Tilburg Law School in December 2020 aimed at addressing the challenges that the 'Anthropocene' poses to both the conceptual foundations and practical applications of constitutional theory, and out of a subsequent series of discussions and exchanges organized by the resear…
Refusing Algorithmic Recognition
The Black Technical Object retraces and problematizes the entanglements between technology, data and race. Ramon Amaro’s genealogy of racial sorting argues that machine learning is preconditioned by a prototypical Whiteness that relegates Black beings as objects measured against a White norm. In raising salient questions about technological, political and legal agency – which intersect with various modes of critique of algorithmic governance – I …
In the break (of rights and representation)
Nonhuman interests are today routinely articulated in a register of ‘rights’. ‘Rights of nature’ and ‘animal rights’ have expanded the vernacular of liberal rights beyond the human subject, thereby arguably entering the realm of ‘post-human rights’. For such rights to be enforced, however, they must be recognised within a legal order and mediated by human subjects speaking on behalf of nonhuman ‘right-holders’. This article focuses on the modes o…
Tech-based Prototypes in Climate Governance
‘[T]he “mainstream” of global governance has changed course’ and in so doing, might well have ‘outrun the standard tools of critical, progressive, and reform-minded international lawyers’, Fleur Johns wrote in 2019. It is especially the critical tools of ‘appeals to history, context, language [and] the grassroots’ in response to universalist planning that Johns sees absorbed in the turn to prototyping as a new ‘style’ of governance. In this artic…
