Law Unlimited

This is a must-read new book offering a strikingly original account of the materialities, modalities, imaginaries and politics of law. Rethinking distinctions that have shaped traditions of theorising about law – mind and matter, culture and nature, and subject and object – Davies offers new resources for a multi-perspectival, post-binary understanding of law. Dr Maksymilian del Mar. Reader in Legal Theory and Co-Director of the Centre for Law and Society in a Global Context (CLSGC) at Queen Mary University of London, and Academic Fellow of the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple.

Law Unlimited is a tour de force that presents a wide-ranging theoretical conversation of enormous importance to understanding the legal complexities of our postnational era. Pushing the reader to transcend the normative equivalence of law and nation-state, the book unleashes a spectrum of spatialities, materialities, imaginaries and subjectivities through which to reconceptualize law and its dynamic engagements. The book is written in a highly accessible way making it appropriate for students and seasoned scholars. It is without question a "must read" for anyone thinking about law and its constitutive force in all social and political relations. Eve Darian-Smith, PhD LLB BA(Hons).
