Call for papers: The Aesthetics of International Law (Wiedeń, maj 2023 r.)
W dniach 12-13 maja br. w Wiedniu odbędzie się konferencja pt. "The Aesthetics of International Law".
Wystąpienia mogą dotyczyć, m.in. następujących zagadnień:
• Visual representations in international legal discourse: What kinds of imagery imbue the dominant narratives of international law? What do they reveal and obscure? Which actors 2/2 shape that imagery? What interests and agendas do they pursue? How do visual representations shape our perceptions of international law? And how can different representations foster alternative understandings of legal processes and institutions?
• Material artifacts and physical spaces: How do the layout, architecture, and décor of international institutions inform the legal practices that take place within their walls? What are the aesthetic codes of international law professionals, and how do they affect the (self- )perception of their activities? What role does the representation of physical objects play in the construction of international legal arguments?
• Literary aesthetics and persuasion techniques: Do international legal actors have literary sensibilities? What stylistic choices and strategies do they deploy in writing legal texts (e.g., judgments, resolutions, etc.)? What do individual choices indicate in a field that is often very formalistic and uniform? How does a particular writing style become embedded in the culture of an international institution? To what extent does the literary quality of an international legal text affect its persuasiveness or acceptance by its audience?
• Cartographies and spatial metaphors: What do the maps of international law look like? How do spatial representations of the world affect the work international lawyers do? How do cartographies shape international legal discourse and the construction of geographical, historical, economic, and political boundaries? What happens to our perceptions of international law when we replace old maps with new ones?
