Event overview
Part of the INC Seminar Series "Grounding: Philosophy and the Law"
Abstract:
It is time we remembered air. And water, and other bodies that are usually forgotten. And earth too, although without its grounding operation.
I will be exploring issues of elements and law through the lenses of three instruments:
- first, the concept of the lawscape, which I have defined as the ontological tautology between law and matter;
- second, spatial justice, which I propose to understand as corporeal emplacement across time and space;
- and third, atmosphere, as the dissimulated, anomic space where law has been invisibilised.
In order to do the above, I employ a heady mix of Tomas Saraceno's sculptures, Wagnerian leitmotifs, Deleuzian geophilosophy and Luhmannian autopoiesis.
Andreas Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos is the Professor of Law and Theory and Director of The Westminster International Law and Theory Centre at the University of Westminster.
