Posthuman Legalities 1st Edition – PDF/EPUB Version Downloadable

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.
