Latour and the Passage of Law

Kyle McGee practices law in the US. He is the author of Bruno Latour: The Normativity of Networks (Routledge, 2014) and co-editor of Deleuze and Law (Edinburgh University Press, 2012).

Bruno Latour's map of law's topology pays equal attention to charting its brute self-referencing and surveying its astonishing capacity to propagate all other modes of existence. The essays in this collection deftly unfold his map and help orient it toward new institutions for the Anthropocene.
