In this piece, however, I wish to note the wider, more personal and speculative reasons as to why metaphors are so frequently used and are, it seems, so widely effective in shaping social perceptions. In late modernity, in the affluent north-west some name the migrant through demeaning metaphors in an attempt to deny their anxiety over their own inessence and instability, our constant transferal in our species’ constitutive shapeshifting body that encompasses the linguistic being of the non-linguistic. I think this with and against the use of metaphors towards a sense of metamorphosis, including through a reading of the pneumatic body in Paul.

Juridical justice is defined as distinct from political, moral, social and theological conceptions of justice. Teubner attempts to think of an imaginary space for a juridical justice 'beyond the sites of natural and positive law' and searches for a conception of justice as the 'law's self-subversive principle'. This article reviews Teubner's conception of juridical justice and further proposes a distinction between juridical and non-juridical understandings of justice.

By its nature, it is inevitably a fragmented juxtaposition (rather than a mapping) of the uses of the words nómos and nomós and the family of words to which they belong, subject to a number of evidentiary and other limitations. In another respect, this study is about the idea of the words nómos/nomós: that is, about their uses, which cannot be separated from the word(s) and vice versa. We can call this method, if it is one, a genealogy, if we agree that words do not have 'core' meanings, but rather uses (and that these uses cannot be distinguished from the existence in which they are experienced)." With these words, Thanos Zartaloudis (University of Kent & Architectural Association) condenses the scope of his latest book The Birth of Nomos (EUP, 2019). It is not common, in these days, to come across a book possessing the structural breath and analytic rigour of Zartaloudis' labour. By mixing with rare precision linguistic, historical, philological and philosophical analyses and evidence, he narrates, we could aptly say, the epic story of one of the decisive terms of what we conventionally call 'Western culture'. Through a critical-analytical and direct engagement with ancient Greek literary sources, along with the examination of the linguistic and philological traditions of interpretation, The Birth of Nomosadvances a "genealogy" of the word(s) nomos that rethinks anew its established (and arguably too easy) identification with a rather modern understanding of "law".

Land Law and Urban Policy in Context: Essays on the Contributions of Patrick McAuslan (published by Routledge) is a collection that narrates, analyses and critiques McAuslan’s contributions, as well as offering substantive perspectives on how his work has impacted the legal fields in which he was involved: including those of land law, urban planning law and policy, land use and participation in developing countries, democratic constitutionalism, and legal education.
The essays present McAuslan’s contributions in the contexts in which they emerged, and according to both the circumstances and motivations that shaped them, as well as the challenges they encountered. It thus provides an ideal point of engagement for scholars, students and policy makers that have already interacted with McAuslan’s ideas and work, or who have yet to do so.

Political Theology
Demystifying the Universal
Marinos Diamantides & Anton Schütz
Can secularisation in the legal and political domains settle modernity’s scores with religion?
Anton Schütz and Marinos Diamantides provide a genealogical mapping of the universalisation/secularisation thesis that is both widely saluted and mistrusted as master narrative of modern political and normative history.
* Questions the outdated suggestions of Carl Schmitt’s political theology.
* Builds upon a refined version of Giorgio Agamben’s close-reading of Christian government as management.
* Identifies Western-Christian tensions within jurisprudence.
* Concludes that what the West’s secular universality is passing off as 'politics' or 'law' is really an attempt to manage its own dwindling primacy.

"Our contemporary world is witness to spatial re-configurations on an unprecedented scale: the enforcement of borders and internment camps, the displacement of populations on a scale not seen since the world wars. Towns and cities creak and groan under the pressures of outdated infrastructure, regional inequalities increase societal tensions and create new forms of politics, and the individual biological body is increasingly forced into precarious forms of existence.
The workshop seeks to interrogate the ‘space’ of this amorphous, and yet discrete, subject of biopolitics that shapes our current world from the perspectives of the Anthropocene, jurisdiction, urban design, or atmospheric living, among others, and drawing on varying academic backgrounds such as law, architecture, politics, and philosophy."

The Urban Protocol challenges the relation between the city and the Internet; the concept of user would function better for its performance than the one of citizen. Nevertheless its most sophisticated part would have to deal with the relation between user and citizen. Its most challenging legislative part is ruled by the relationship between the Internet and the state; the Internet is understood as the quick functional basis for the formation, installation and function of an Urban Protocol.
Architecture seems to propose its own end if we forget its power to produce programs. An uninteresting lessez-faire will be the result of such an idealization of the free initiative. A city was conceived as a system of coexistence and its legislative system is already old. The Urban Protocol could be first and foremost the call for a new legislative phase for the city of the future. Athens is only a good example.
