Inspiring and distinctive, After Meaning provides a radical
challenge to the way in which international law is thought and
practised. Jean d'Aspremont asserts that the words and texts of
international law, as forms, never carry or deliver meaning but,
instead, perpetually defer meaning and ensure it is nowhere found
within international legal discourse. In challenging the dominant
meaning-centrism of the international legal discourse and shedding
light on the sovereignty of forms, this book promotes a radical new
attitude towards textuality in international law. The author offers
new perspectives on interpretation, critique, history, comparison,
translation and referencing, inviting international lawyers to
reinvent their engagement with these discourses. Chapters define
meaning and form in international law, explore deferral of meaning
and make an unprecedented use of post-structuralist theory to
rethink international law. After Meaning will be an essential
reference point for legal scholars, researchers and students who
seek to understand a different way of thinking about meaning in
international law. The book's engagement with post-structuralism
will also prove beneficial to anyone interested in the philosophy
of language and literary theory.
