A rich collection of interdisciplinary essays, this book explores
the question: what is to be found at the intersection of the
sensorium and law's empire? Examining the problem of how legal
rationalities try to grasp what can only be sensed through the
body, these essays problematize the Cartesian framework that has
long separated the mind from the body, reason from feeling and the
human from the animal. In doing so, they consider how the sensorium
can operate, variously, as a tool of power or as a means of
countering the exercise of regulatory force. The senses, it is
argued, operate as a vector for the implication of subjects in
legal webs, but also as a powerful site of resistance to legal
definition and determination. From the sensorium of animals to
technologically mediated perception, the ways in which the law
senses and the ways in which senses are brought before the law
invite a questioning of the categories of liberal humanism. And, as
this volume demonstrates, this questioning opens up the both
interesting and important possibility of imagining other sensual
subjectivities.
