No justice can exist without spatiality. This book turns against the recent tendency to disembody law, matter, bodies, and even space, and emphasizes precisely the importance of the spatial dimension for law and justice.
Contents and Key Points
Spatial Justice develops a new theory and radical application of the material connection between space – geographically, sociologically, and philosophically – and law, in the broad sense of written, oral law, and embodied social and political norms.
The book argues that spatial justice is the struggle of diverse bodies – human, natural, non-organic, and technological – to occupy a particular place and time. Thus, spatial justice forms a core principle within current legal and political issues such as geopolitical conflicts, environmental problems, animal rights, colonization, drones, and cyberspace.
Method and Approach
The author introduces the concept of 'lawscape', the tautology between law and space, and analyzes the concept of 'atmosphere' in its geological, political, aesthetic, legal, and biological meanings.
This interdisciplinary work offers an innovative perspective on space and law and is suitable for academic and professional institutions dealing with geopolitics, space law, and ecology.
Language and Usage
The text is intended for readers with an advanced language level and suitable for self-study and education in legal and social disciplines. The language level is Dutch, suitable for studies at C1-C2 level.
