In this piece I discuss both spatial and temporal relations of justice, through comparing understandings of ‘continua’ in processul and originary descriptions of nature of law as having affect in, and giving affect to, dimensions of space and time . Processual understandings of justice are argued to be found in Andreas Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos’ ‘lawscaping’ and its ‘continuum’ in ‘Spatial Justice: Body, Lawscape Atmosphere’ (Routledge, 2015), where the ahistorical and affective nature of law is described, with no overt reference to an origin of justice, and a refutation of any ‘outside’ to law. An originary notion of justice is argued in my own work ‘Protest, Property and the Commons: Performances of Law and Resistance’ (Routledge, 2016), as supported buy the work of legal pluralist Boaventura de Sousa Santos’ ‘continuum of formalism’ (‘The Law of the Oppressed: The Construction and Reproduction of Legality in Pasargada’, Law and Society Review, 1977). I argue the existence of informal laws that persist outside of state law, that at first can be resistant to state law but can become institutionalised into formal law. This relies on the supposition that there be a an exterior to law, an ‘a-legal vacuum’, posing the importance of the origin and history of law in conferring a notion of spatial justice. The work of speculative realists Quentin Meillassoux and Martin Hagglund is used to support the uncertain spatio-temporal nature of both informal and formal processes of law, highlighting the imbrication of both time and space within spatial justice, through the agential role of in entropy (linear and nonlinear conceptions of time), arguing the inherent nature of uncertainty as (in)justice itself.
在这篇文章中,我讨论了正义的空间和时间关系,通过比较对过程中的“连续性”的理解和对法律本质的原始描述,作为对空间和时间维度的影响和给予影响。对正义的过程理解可以在Andreas Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos的“法律景观”及其在“空间正义:身体,法律景观氛围”(Routledge, 2015)中的“连续体”中找到,其中描述了法律的非历史和情感性质,没有公开提及正义的起源,并驳斥了任何“外部”的法律。我自己的作品《抗议、财产和公地:法律和抵抗的表现》(Routledge, 2016)论证了正义的原始概念,法律多元主义者Boaventura de Sousa Santos的作品《形式主义的连续体》(《被压迫者的法律:帕萨尔加达合法性的构建和再生产》,《法律与社会评论》,1977)也支持了正义的概念。我认为存在于国家法律之外的非正式法律,起初可能与国家法律相抵触,但可以制度化成为正式法律。这依赖于一种假设,即存在一个法律的外部,一个“法律真空”,提出了法律的起源和历史在赋予空间正义概念方面的重要性。投机现实主义者Quentin Meillassoux和Martin Hagglund的作品被用来支持非正式和正式法律过程的不确定时空本质,通过熵(线性和非线性时间概念)的代理作用,强调空间正义中时间和空间的交错,论证不确定性的内在本质(在)正义本身。

This chapter deploys Haraway’s threefold characterization of the contemporary epoch as ‘Anthropocene’/ ‘Capitalocene’/‘Chthulucene’ as a lens through which to reflect upon the nature of the time assumed by mainstream Anthropocene discourse. The chapter argues that the mainstream Anthropocene discourse imposes a linear Eurocentric conception of time on a lively world of variegated temporalities, rhythms and movements. The chapter then reflects upon Capitalocene and Chthulucene temporalities and their respective implications for onto-epistemic in/justice and legal epistemology in an age of Anthropocene crisis.

Book synopsis: This handbook sets out an innovative approach to the theory of law reconceptualising legal theory in a material, socially contextualised and politically radical way. The book is made up of original contributions authored by academics at the forefront of research in legal theory so provides a valuable overview of the discipline.

One of law’s more supple conceits is its ontology of equivalence. The equivalent stands for, it purports to takes the place of, all that exists in life’s discordant realm in a state of spatial, temporal, material, corporeal, sensorial difference. Equivalence commensurates the inhabitants of that realm (people, things, relations) as completely as may be necessary for the induction of each into another immanent reality – the transactional universe of legal recognitions and nonrecognitions – where they are contained within an imaginary dimension of perfect exchange. The containment is temporal, predicated on the proposition that at the moment of its apprehension, which is necessarily the present, that which differentiates the particular object of attention from law’s equivalent has simply ceased to be. The object is created anew, in law, “like a number without any awkward fraction left over.” But the transubstantiation can never quite be complete. There is always an uncontained remnant, the agio or excess, the “awkward fraction left over,” the obstinate remainder that defies the symmetry of its exchange. We know it is there because it expresses itself to us as the object’s past – its revenant once-was. This essay calls this surviving remnant the object’s soul; not just its once-was, but also its living-on. It considers that history is the means by which the soul communicates its living-on. The essay explores three propositions, or ways of thinking, that elaborate on these propositions: of law as a dimension of not-quite-perfect exchange; of objects’ surviving traces as souls; and of history as the means by which those surviving traces live on either with or against (but always separate from) law’s transactional transubstantiations. In a fourth part, which spills over into a concluding fifth, the essay offers a gloss on what may happen when the three propositions combine.
