There can be no justice that is not spatial. Against a recent
tendency to despatialise law, matter, bodies and even space itself,
this book insists on spatialising them, arguing that there can be
neither law nor justice that are not articulated through and in
space. Spatial Justice presents a new theory and a radical
application of the material connection between space - in the
geographical as well as sociological and philosophical sense - and
the law - in the broadest sense that includes written and oral law,
but also embodied social and political norms. More specifically, it
argues that spatial justice is the struggle of various bodies -
human, natural, non-organic, technological - to occupy a certain
space at a certain time. Seen in this way, spatial justice is the
most radical offspring of the spatial turn, since, as this book
demonstrates, spatial justice can be found in the core of most
contemporary legal and political issues - issues such as
geopolitical conflicts, environmental issues, animality,
colonisation, droning, the cyberspace and so on. In order to ague
this, the book employs the lawscape, as the tautology between law
and space, and the concept of atmosphere in its geological,
political, aesthetic, legal and biological dimension. Written by a
leading theorist in the area, Spatial Justice: Body, Lawscape,
Atmosphere forges a new interdisciplinary understanding of space
and law, while offering a fresh approach to current geopolitical,
spatiolegal and ecological issues.
