Duke University Press Law by Night
Book SynopsisJonathan Goldberg-Hiller explores the limits of modern legal theory in regards to the night and the possibility for both violence and freedom that might be otherwise unavailable during the day.Trade Review“Bringing a highly sophisticated theoretical mind to a richly woven thick description of legal practices, Jonathan Goldberg-Hiller asks how our conceptions of law would change if we thought about it from a metaphor of darkness. Throughout this fascinating and thought-provoking book, he attends to how public imaginaries of darkness are affected by race and gender and how the law of the dark has an ambiguous relation to human freedom and security. As he demonstrates, the law is obscure, complex, and lacks transparency—this is the law’s own essential darkness.” -- Linda Ross Meyer, author of * Sentencing in Time *“In this highly original and intellectually creative book Jonathan Goldberg-Hiller recognizes that night is a real part of our temporal and material worlds as well as a metaphor for absence—the time and place where normal law is in abeyance. It is this confluence of the literal, conceptual, and metaphorical that makes Law by Night distinct. Goldberg-Hiller’s juxtaposition of a variety of legal issues never previously brought together under the theme of night is nothing short of brilliant.” -- Cressida J.

Duke University Press Law by Night
Book SynopsisIn Law by Night Jonathan Goldberg-Hiller asks what we can learn about modern law and its authority by understanding how it operates in the dark of night. He outlines how the social experience and cultural meanings of night promote racialized and gender violence, but also make possible freedom of movement for marginalized groups that might be otherwise unavailable during the day. Examining nighttime racial violence, curfews, gun ownership, the right to sleep, and “take back the night” rallies, Goldberg-Hiller demonstrates that liberal legal doctrine lacks a theory of the night that accounts for a nocturnal politics that has historically allowed violence to persist. By locating the law’s nocturnal limits, Goldberg-Hiller enriches understandings of how the law reinforces hierarchies of race and gender and foregrounds the night’s potential to enliven a more egalitarian social life.Trade Review“Bringing a highly sophisticated theoretical mind to a richly woven thick description of legal practices, Jonathan Goldberg-Hiller asks how our conceptions of law would change if we thought about it from a metaphor of darkness.

Duke University Press Plastic Materialities
Book SynopsisThe contributors to Plastic Materialities explore the ways in which Catherine Malabou's new materialism and concept of plasticity can provide new insights into issues of race, colonialism, subjectivity, science, social order, sovereignty and justice. This collection also includes three new essays by Malabou and an interview.Trade Review"Plastic Materialities is testament to both the vibrant potentialities which lie in the philosophical thinking of Malabou and the scholarly reflections on that potential. Bhandar and Goldberg-Hiller, as well as the contributors to this volume, should be commended on what is a truly groundbreaking and important contribution to the social, political and legal implications of Malabou’s plasticity." -- Chris Lloyd * Social & Legal Studies *"Whether we accept or not that materialism, in general, affirms the radical absence of any outside to the mode of coming, the idea put forward overall by the book, that matter is self or selves in formation, remains a thought-provoking one that will no doubt generate further research especially in the intersecting fields of neuroscience and philosophy, intersection that clearly marks Malabou out as one of the most courageous scholars attempting to bridge the gap between science and the humanities. It is a credit to the editors to have brought together a wide-ranging set of views on Malabou’s work, thus giving the reader, expert and non-experts, the possibility of apprehending one of the most distinctive voices in philosophy today." -- Jean-Paul Martinon * H-France, H-Net Reviews *“Plastic Materialities is an important and exciting contribution.
