This book is the first to approach Jacques Ranciere's work from a
legal perspective. A former student of Louis Althusser, Ranciere is
one of the most important contemporary French philosophers of
recent decades: offering an original and path-breaking way to think
politics, democracy and aesthetics. Ranciere's work has received
wide and increasing critical attention, but no study exists so far
that reflects on the wider implications of Ranciere for law and for
socio-legal studies. Although Ranciere does not pay much specific
attention to law-and there is a strong temptation to identify law
with what he terms the "police order"-much of Ranciere's historical
work highlights the creative potential of law and legal language,
with important legal implications and ramifications. So, rather
than excavate the Rancierean corpus for isolated statements about
the law, this volume reverses such a method and asks: what would a
Ranciere-inspired legal theory look like? Bringing together
specialists and scholars in different areas of law, critical theory
and philosophy, this rethinking of law and socio-legal studies
through Ranciere provides an original and important engagement with
a range of contemporary legal topics, including constituent power
and democracy, legal subjectivity, human rights, practices of
adjudication, refugees, the nomos of modernity, and the sensory
configurations of law. It will, then, be of considerable interest
to those working in these areas.
