Endgame: Feminist Lawyers and the Revolutionary Body

Otomo, Yoriko

Abstract

This article examines feminist fantasies of revolution and the revolutionary body, arguing that rather than seeking to substitute for law an order without a name, international law should instead be thought as a space in which to hold onto the question of authority, where crisis and revolution are not singular events but rather, movements that are created by the act of re-reading legal text.
