Abstract

jats:pBuilding on the arguments of the first report concerning court materiality, this progress report examines the various ways in which bodies have become the focal point of legal geographic interest. This work strays across disciplinary boundaries, mirroring other areas of the geographic discipline in understanding bodies both in their corporeal terms (as fleshy and vital) and their discursive construction (emerging through constellations of language and power). The report examines four interlinked aspects of this work, examining (i) bodies and testimony, (ii) bodies as evidence; (iii) bodies as property, and (iv) law and animality.</jats:p>
