Nov. 6| JurisTalk with Dr. Trish Luker

October 28, 2015

Join us for our upcoming JurisTalk seminar, ‘Animating the Archive: Artefacts of Law’, on Friday, November 6th with guest speaker, Dr. Trish Luker!

In this paper, Dr. Luker investigates the notion of law’s counter-archive through a reflection on the materiality of archival sources and the significance of this objective status when such sources are presented as evidence in legal proceedings. She argues that thinking of archival sources not as legal documents, but as artefacts with specific agentic powers, draws attention to the material conditions of their creation and demonstrates the way they are productive of colonial relations.
