Book Synopsis

This book considers the question of spatial justice after apartheid from several disciplinary perspectives â jurisprudence, law, literature, architecture, photography and psychoanalysis are just some of the disciplines engaged here. However, the main theoretical device on which the authors comment is the legacy of what in Carl Schmittâs terms is nomos as the spatialised normativity of sociality. Each author considers within the practical and theoretical constraints of their topic, the question of what nomos in its modern configuration may or may not contribute to a thinking of spatial justice after apartheid.

On the whole, the collection forces a confrontation between lawâs spatiality in a âœpostcolonialâ era, on the one hand, and the traumatic legacy of what Paul Gilroy has called the âœcolonial nomosâ, on the other hand. In the course of this confrontation, critical questions of continuation, extension, disruption and rewriting are raised and confronted
