Offering a novel, transdisciplinary approach to environmental law,
its principles, mechanics and context, as tested in its application
to the urban environment, this book traces the conceptual and
material absence of communication between the human and the natural
and controversially includes such an absence within a system of law
and a system of geography which effectively remain closed to
environmental considerations. The book looks at Niklas Luhmann's
theory of autopoiesis. Introducing the key concepts and operations,
contextualizing them and opening them up to critical analysis.
Indeed, in contrast to most discussions on autopoiesis, it proposes
a radically different reading of the theory, in line with critical
legal, political, sociological, urban and ecological theories,
while drawing from writings by Husserl and Derrida, as well as
Latour, Blanchot, Haraway, Agamben and Nancy. It explores a range
of topics in the areas of environmental law and urban geography,
including: environmental risk, environmental rights, the
precautionary principle, intergenerational equity and urban waste
discourses on community, nature, science and identity. The author
redefines the traditional foundations of environmental law and
urban geography and suggests a radical way of dealing with
scientific ignorance, cultural differences and environmental
degradation within the perceived need for legal delivery of
certainty.
