The world might often seem like it’s ordered and classified in fixed and stable ways. So things are, so they ought to be. Things like war and revolution, citizenship, peace agreements and criminal law, are pinned down by legal definitions, by common understandings, by textbooks… aren’t they?

This 4-episode podcast on The legal afterlife of… raises questions about how fixed and stable things really are. Perhaps, as Professor of Literature Frederick Jameson has said, ‘it might be time for us to consider that the living present is scarcely as self-sufficient as it claims to be; that we would do well not to count on its density and solidity, which might under certain circumstances betray us.’

Perhaps the legal afterlife continues for all of us, whether we know, like it, or not.
