‘Econormativities’ at the Critical Legal Conference

Hot on the heels of Econormativities workshops in Melbourne and Hong Kong, we are organising a stream at the upcoming Critical Legal Conference, Exeter (UK), 4-6 September. Proposals are very welcome on any aspect of econormativity, but we are particularly interested in papers addressing the normativity of technology and the technosocial. While many have underlined differences between machinic, data-driven, code-based normativity on the one hand and legal normativity understood as ‘human’ and linguistic on the other, an econormative approach might encourage us to interrogate the plural, overlapping and potentially incommensurable layers or registers of normativity in technosocial systems. Please send paper proposals to futureofgooddecisions@kent.ac.uk.
