Subversive Property (eBook, PDF)

Law and the Production of Spaces of Belonging

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Property tends to operate and to be understood as a conservative social force, but can property also be subversive? This book explores the relationship between space, subjectivity and property, in order to invert conventional socio-legal understandings of property that revolve around possession and to theorize property in terms of belonging. Drawing on feminist and critical race theory, the book shifts the focus away from the propertied subject and onto the broader spaces in which the propertied subject is located. Thinking about property in terms of space and belonging reveals new political possibilities for property. And the theory of property as a spatially contingent relation of belonging proposed in this book not only offers a conceptually useful way of analysing a wide range of socio-legal issues, it enables new connections to be drawn between them.
