The An-Archic Nomos of the Nomads: Preliminary Thoughts on the Relationship Between Law and Anarchy

Posted on December 16, 2020December 16, 2020 by GGFusco

Christos Marneros The relationship between law and anarchy tends to be characterised, to say the least, as an uncomfortable one. Taking, usually, a purely negative approach towards law, anarchist thought – in all its heterogeneous tendencies – is characterised by a total opposition against law, as the latter is understood as an irrational, immoral and…

The COVID-19 Crisis in Romania, or on How One Cannot Escape (Bad, Legal) Culture

Posted on May 11, 2020May 11, 2020 by GGFusco

Alexandra Mercescu In the sea of uncertainty that we are currently navigating, at least one aspect seems beyond doubt: countries have responded for better or for worse with local answers to a universal threat. To recall that France decided to keep its wine shops open as they were considered indispensable to the life of the…

On Horror and the Exception: Agamben must be defended

Posted on April 14, 2020April 14, 2020 by GGFusco

Gian Giacomo Fusco 1. Eugene Thacker opens his In the Dust of this Planet, with these words: The world is increasingly unthinkable – a world of planetary disasters, emerging pandemics, tectonic shifts, strange weather, oil-drenched seascapes, and the furtive, always-looming threat of extinction. In spite of our daily concerns, wants, and desires, it is increasingly…

Provisional Marxist Theses on the Coronacrisis

Posted on April 9, 2020April 9, 2020 by GGFusco

Przemysław Tacik When a particular formation of the world is thrown out of joint, the first instinct is to grope for a vantage point that could provide at least a provisional perspective on what is happening. But this moment of passage, traversed in inevitable darkness, is decisive and therefore shudderingly risky. Within days decisions that…

The Reality of the Exception and the Task of the Critical Lawyer

Posted on March 28, 2020March 28, 2020 by GGFusco

Cosmin Sebastian Cercel 1 In the introduction to our edited collection States of Exception: Law, Theory, History written at six hands together with Gian Giacomo Fusco and Simon Lavis weeks before the real state of exception of the global COVID-19 pandemic, I was railing as much as academic conventions and well manners still permit, against…

Cfp – Critico-Juridical Symposium: ADJUDICATION, LEGITIMACY AND THE POLITICAL IN TIMES OF POPULISM – West University of Timisoara Faculty of Law, Romania 24-25 April 2020

Posted on January 11, 2020January 11, 2020 by GGFusco

Ein Gespenst geht um Europa – das Gespenst des Populismus, one could say, paraphrasing Marx. But what is populism and what stance should critical legal scholars take towards it? On the one hand, we – critical legal scholars – share with the populists our scepticism about liberal narratives on ‘rule of law’ or ‘fundamental rights’,…

On Nomos and the Meaning of Philosophy in Law: an interview with Thanos Zartaloudis

Posted on August 1, 2019August 1, 2019 by GGFusco

Gian Giacomo Fusco “This study is, in one sense, about two words, or rather a family (or two) of words. By its nature, it is inevitably a fragmented juxtaposition (rather than a mapping) of the uses of the words nómos and nomós and the family of words to which they belong, subject to a number…

The Left Case Against “The Left Case Against The EU”.

Posted on March 20, 2019March 20, 2019 by GGFusco

Book Review by Gian Giacomo Fusco For those wanting a clear and concise summary of the left case against the euro and of the misrepresentation of German European Hegemon as the consummation of the “European Idea”, there is no way around this book. Nowhere has the political economy of the common currency and of German…

CfP: TWILIGHT’S LONG SHADOWS – 2nd Critico-Juridical Symposium; Jagiellonian University, Kraków 29-30 March 2019

Posted on January 14, 2019January 14, 2019 by GGFusco

Twilight makes things cast the longest shadows, claimed Nietzsche. Contemporary Europe, especially its Central-Eastern part, seems to linger now in a transitory state─between a nostalgic half-conscious return to its authoritarian past, permanently resuscitated liberalism and a hope for a new upheaval, perhaps lost in advance. Guiding theories, sense of history and options for organising a…

EXCEPTIONS!

Posted on November 17, 2018January 14, 2019 by GGFusco

On the horizon of every legal practice there is, doubtless, a gendarme who keeps an eye on things and intervenes (part of the state apparatus) when he must. Most of the time, however, he does not intervene and is even completely absent from the horizon of legal practice. What, then, is present, not on the…
