Stanford University Press has announced the publication of Irus
Braverman, Nicholas Blomley, David Delaney, and Alexandre Kedar (eds), The Expanding Spaces of Law: A Timely Legal Geography:
The Expanding
Spaces of Law presents
readers with cutting-edge scholarship on legal geography and pushes the current
boundaries of the field, investigating new questions and reinvigorating
previous modes of inquiry.
Legal geography
has contributed a great deal to understanding the many relationships between
space and law. Earlier work has explored space that is static, such as the
law's interaction with concepts of the home, public space, prison, restrooms,
camps, territories, and nation states. But the past few years have seen an emphasis
on analyzing the dynamic workings of space, and the understanding of space in
various new ways. The
Expanding Spaces of Law asks
readers to consider what legal geography would look like if we were to give
more prominence to conceptions of space as process,
space as event, or space as situation or relationship. Questions of space and
time are often implicit in the work of legal geographers, and this book seeks
to bring these questions to the fore.
The Expanding Spaces of Law brings together some of the most
prominent names in the field, and includes new voices in the field from around
the world to introduce provocative and exciting research in legal geography.
Highly recommended. SPD
