Posthuman Legalities
How might law address the multiple crises of meaning intrinsic to global crises of climate, poverty, mass displacements, ecological breakdown, species extinctions and technological developments that increasingly complicate the very notion of 'life' itself? How can law embrace — in other words —the 'posthuman' condition — a condition in which non-human forces such as climate change and Covid-19 signal the impossibility of clinging to the existing imaginaries of Western legal systems and international law? This carefully curated book addresses these and related questions, bringing 'law beyond the human' (drawing on Indigenous legalities, life ways and ontologies) and New Materialist and Posthuman/ist approaches into stimulating proximity to each other.
Law, Humans and Plants in the Andes-Amazon
Extending law beyond the human, the book probes the conceptual openings, methodological challenges and ethical conundrums of law in a time of deep socio-ecological disturbances and transitions. How do we learn and practice law across epistemic and ontological difference? What sort of methodologies do we need? In what sense does conjuring other-than-human beings as sentient, cognitive and social agents— rather than mere recipients of state-sanctioned rights—transform what we mean by “law” and “rights of nature”? Legal institutions exclusively focused on human perspectives seem insufficiently capable of addressing current socio-ecological challenges in Latin America and beyond. In ...

The Individual in International Law
The Individual in International Law collects the work of esteemed scholars to examine the effects of humanisation on international law, and how individual status, rights, and obligations have changed the international legal system throughout history and into the present day.
Non-Human Rights
Non-human entities, including animals, mountains, rainforests, eco-systems, AI, and robots, are beginning to be considered the subjects of rights in different parts of the world. This innovative book provides a critical outlook on this emerging trend at the crossroad of two of the main concerns of the 21st century: climate change and automation.

Communicating in the Anthropocene
The purpose of Communicating in the Anthropocene: Intimate Relations is to tell a different story about the world. Humans, especially those raised in Western traditions, have long told stories about themselves as individual protagonists who act with varying degrees of free will against a background of mute supporting characters and inert landscapes. Humans can be either saviors or destroyers, but our actions are explained and judged again and again as emanating from the individual. And yet, as the coronavirus pandemic has made clear, humans are unavoidably interconnected not only with other humans, but with nonhuman and more-than-human others with whom we share space and time. Why do so many of us humans avoid, deny, or resist a view of the world where our lives are made possible, maybe even made richer, through connection? In this volume, we suggest a view of communication as intimacy. We use this concept as a provocation for thinking about how we humans are in an always-already state of being-in-relation with other humans, nonhumans, and the land.
Beziehungsweisen von Mensch, Tier und Umwelt
In diesem Band werden die facettenreichen Beziehungsweisen von Mensch, Tier und Umwelt in der politischen Bildung analysiert. Auffällig ist, dass diese Beziehungsweisen bislang kaum in der schulischen politischen Bildung thematisiert wurden. Vielmehr enthalten die verschiedenen Lehrpläne der Bundesländer hier einen blinden Fleck, der allerdings mit der vorherrschenden öffentlichen Meinung konform geht: Das Leid der Tiere aufgrund menschlicher Handlungen wird konsequent ausgeblendet, genauso wie die Konsequenzen des konsumistischen Lebensstils für Mensch, Tier und Umwelt. Das Kapitel "Rekonfiguration des Rechtssubjekts im Anthropozän - Die "kosmische Person" als Ausdruck relationaler Subjektivität in der politischen Bildung" ist unter einer CC BY 4.0 Lizenz auf link.springer.com frei zugänglich.
Biopolitics and Resistance in Legal Education
Taking up the study of legal education in distinctly biopolitical terms, this book provides a critical and political analysis of resistance in the law school. Legal education concerns the complex pathways by which an individual becomes a lawyer, making the journey from lay-person to expert, from student to practitioner. To pose the idea of a biopolitics of legal education is not only to recognise the tensions surrounding this journey but also to recognise that legal education is a key site in which the subject engages, and is engaged by, a particular structure—and here the particular structure of the law school. This book explores the resistance to that structure, including: different ways...
Mingas de la imagen
En los Andes, campesinos, afrodescendientes, mestizos e indígenas hacen de las mingas prácticas de colaboración, reflexión, movilización y construcción comunitaria. A partir de estas metodologías relacionales, presentamos este libro, en el cual las imágenes poéticas, éticas y estéticas pasan de mano en mano, palabrandando otros posibles posibles. En Mingas de la imagen, que reúne múltiples contribuciones de diecinueve países, tres continentes, quince pueblos indígenas y una veintena de universidades del mundo, se dan cita numerosas lenguas indígenas, incluido el castellano, y se presentan textos que concitan la rigurosidad investigativa con la creatividad visual, narrativa y poética. Ante la inminente desaparición de lenguas y culturas, así como de experiencias de vida autónomas, juntamos aquí a decenas de críticos y creadores para sentipensar alternativas, prácticas y resistencias y para inaugurar la colección en Estudios Indígenas, Interculturales y de la Tierra, que convoca y relaciona numerosas disciplinas científicas y artísticas, en un espacio sensible a la indagación, articulación y diálogo planetario.
