Book Choice and the Affective Economy of Literacy
This article examines the familiar imperative for educators to cultivate affective attachments between students and reading—to foster love or ward off hate, for books. It considers the interplay of this affective economy with other “economies” of reading long theorized in literacy studies: the moral economy, promoting dominant social norms; and the political economy, prioritizing workers skilled to meet the needs of the state. We examine the rela…
Roundtable on Deregistration and Gender Law Reform Internationally
In this roundtable discussion, early-career researchers working in the field of law, gender, and sexuality discuss international and trans-national developments to legal gender. 'The Future of Legal Gender' research project focused on the legislative framework of England and Wales to develop a prototype for decertification. The domestic legislation, however, was situated within a wider international context throughout the project. This roundtable…
Registering the Everyday: Documents, Bureaucracy, and the Socio-Legal
The special section that follows examines registration as a technology of governance regulating the everyday. The introduction illustrates the motivation for the special section, which was an interest in the changing shape of registration over time, as the COVID-19 pandemic saw registration come to the forefront of public life, calling for a re-examination of the ways in which registration produces populations and affects lives. We conclude by ou…
Journeying the everyday of civic space: Movement as method in socio‐legal studies
Arising from the spatial turn in the social sciences, metaphors and material practices of movement have developed into methodological tools for studying the transitory moments of everyday life. This article explores how socio‐legal scholars can use movement as method to trace law in the everyday of civic space. The research draws upon a project that explored how bodies, materials, concepts, and administrative processes are set in motion in the Be…
Tracing lines in the lawscape: Registration/pilgrimage and the sacred/secular of law/space
The aim of this article is to draw upon sacred/secular 'journeying' to explore the inherent movement invoked by the state's documentation of the life course. In tracing this motion, the article follows two intersecting pathways - the literal travel of those who register a life event and the figurative 'journeying' of legal identity. The argument develops from a case study conducted at the Beaney House of Art & Knowledge (Canterbury, UK): a museum…
Flexibility or exploitation? Corporate social responsibility and the perils of universalization (Respond to this article at http: (Www.therai.org.uk/at/debate)
As anthropologists and other critics of capitalism turn their attention to the controversial and burgeoning corporate social responsibility (CSR) movement, most focus on conflicts in community relations and environmental degradation. Few scholars have examined equally pertinent questions of labor restructuring, even though these transformations emerged at about the same time as the rise of CSR. In this article, we draw on research in two Peruvian…
