Summary
The second volume in the “controversial” series elucidates the ambivalent relationship between law and critique. Twenty-nine authors variously perform critique using law and critique of the law. Contributors analyze connections between legal critique and critical reflection, law and social practices and political movements, and law and autonomy. Whereas some contributors take decolonial, critical race theoretical, posthumanist, and anti-cispatriarchal perspectives, others discuss the need to defend the rule of law during democratic crises. Contradictions in existent legal systems and rights regimes are explored as are processes of legal subjugation. Alternatively, law is understood pluralistically and reconstructed using alternative means.
