How might law address the multiple crises of meaning intrinsic to
global crises of climate, poverty, mass displacements, ecological
breakdown, species extinctions and technological developments that
increasingly complicate the very notion of 'life' itself? How can
law embrace - in other words -the 'posthuman' condition - a
condition in which non-human forces such as climate change and
Covid-19 signal the impossibility of clinging to the existing
imaginaries of Western legal systems and international law? This
carefully curated book addresses these and related questions,
bringing 'law beyond the human' (drawing on Indigenous legalities,
life ways and ontologies) and New Materialist and Posthuman/ist
approaches into stimulating proximity to each other. Bold and
astute, it draws an invigorating and lively mix of participants
into its conversation: soils, urban animals, rivers, rights,
Indigenous legalities, property as habitat, swarms, 'unusual
posthuman capacities', decolonial critiques, eco-feedback, arts,
affective encounters and more besides. Ultimately, this pivotal
work shows how law currently fails to respond to the challenges and
realities it faces, while demonstrating that law can also be a
co-emergence of 'something else', more responsive, relational and
prefigurative. Lively and engaging, Posthuman Legalities will prove
an imperative read for students and scholars with a keen interest
in breaking down barriers to address emerging challenges in
environmental law, climate law, and human rights law, in
conversation with new approaches to planetary justice.
