Formal and informal institutions structure our social interactions
by giving rise to normative expectations and patterns of collective
behaviour. This collection grapples with how affect, imagination,
and embodiment can operate to either constrain or enable the
justice of institutions and the experiences of specific social
identities. This anthology explores the myriad ways institutions
work to systematically disadvantage people with particular
identities whilst privileging others, and considers the legal,
political, and normative interventions that might serve to promote
a more just society. Taken together, the chapters represent the
scope of existing research within institutional theory, affect
theory, race theory, and theories of social imaginaries. Across a
range of topics (human rights, racial and sexual violence,
transitional justice and democratic movements) this collection
critically assesses the extent to which theorists have attended to
the conjoined influence of the imagination, embodiment, and
affective phenomena on processes of institutional change that aim
to achieve social justice. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the journal, Angelaki.
