Last year, Routledge published a
new book on law and time which we had not yet reported on, and of which the
paperback version has now been published
ABOUT THE BOOK
Research on law's relationship
with time has flourished over the past decade. This edited collection aims to
put law and time scholarship into wider context, advancing conversations on
time and temporalities between socio-legal scholars, anthropologists,
sociologists, geographers and historians. Through a diverse range of
contributions, the collection explores how legal modalities of time emerge and
have effects within wider clusters of social and political action. Themes
include: law’s diverse roles in maintaining linear historicist models of time;
law’s participation in the materialisation of times; and the unsteady effects
of temporal pluralism and polytemporalities in law. De-naturalising the ‘time’
in law and time scholarship, this collection positions time as something that
can be enacted and materialised as well as experienced, with distinct
implications for questions of social justice.
