Marital Violence : Women at the intersection of Law and Society
This book is a comprehensive study on the marital violence against women with a peculiar reference to global and parochial perspectives in hand. It is consciously summarised into 5 chapters that deal analytically with a critical evaluation on the narratives of family violence and the viciousness that creeps against the vulnerability of women subjected to it and explore the trends, dimensions, aspects and causes of this syndrome. It is a conglomerate of socio, legal and political insights that enrapture the power and manipulative gimmicks solely based on preserving the hierarchal dominion of the male ego in patriarchy. From Feminist Social Research to the conceptions that are ambiguous to the...
Discounting Life
Demonstrates necropolitical law's cultural disseminations to show how, for Americans and the world, life is discounted, undermining rule of law.
Cultural Legal Studies
What can law’s popular cultures do for law, as a constitutive and interrogative critical practice? This collection explores such a question through the lens of the ‘cultural legal studies’ movement, which proffers a new encounter with the ‘cultural turn’ in law and legal theory. Moving beyond the ‘law ands’ (literature, humanities, culture, film, visual and aesthetics) on which it is based, this book demonstrates how the techniques and practices of cultural legal studies can be used to metamorphose law and the legalities that underpin its popular imaginary. By drawing on three different modes of cultural legal studies – storytelling, technology and jurisprudence – the colle...

The FIRE Economy
The FIRE economy – built on finance, insurance and real estate – is now the world’s principal source of wealth creation. Its rise has transformed our political, economic and social landscapes, supported by a neoliberal regime that celebrates markets, profit and risk. From rising inequality and ballooning household debt to a global financial crisis and fiscal austerity, the neoliberal ‘orthodoxy’ has brought instability and empowered the few. Yet it remains remarkably resilient, even resurgent, in New Zealand and abroad. In 1995 Jane Kelsey set out a groundbreaking account of the neoliberal revolution in The New Zealand Experiment. Now she marshals an exceptional range of evidence t...
Polygamy
"This VSI offers a broad global and temporal history of polygamy and its importance in a range of settings. Polygamy, or plural marriage, has been an accepted form of union in the majority of human societies. People living on every continent have practiced this form of marriage; some still do. Plural marriages, just as more recent same-sex marriages, offer intriguing access to the workings of the institution of marriage, as well as the controversies linking public and private, sex and politics, that have surrounded it. Confrontations over this type of marriage have also been historically important, especially in a range of colonial, imperial, and missionary encounters. Polygamy has come to symbolize a problematic, even "barbaric," form of marriage. Yet, even amid Christians, it has had notable defenders, including a number of radical Protestants such as Martin Luther, John Milton, and of course Joseph Smith. This book illuminates the public importance of the intimate, considering issues of cultural contact and confrontation, the shape of empires, slavery and hierarchy, royal and aristocratic power, religion and conflict, war and expansion, race and nation"--
