Abstract

The chapter's animating purpose is to reflect upon insights yielded by a lively confluence between critical environmental law scholarship and new materialist accounts (from which critical environmental law itself draws), placing these in direct engagement with a search for a renewing socio-juridical imaginary4 in which the relationship between human rights and the environment might be re-imagined. The chapter begins by contextualising its concerns in the semiotic and material dilemmas presented by the emergence of Anthropocene discourse, especially concerning the construction of a new universal humanity, before examining the shortfall of law’s response to the climate crisis – and exploring some broad directions for a new juridical imaginary holding out the promise of new human and environmental foundations for law and legal processes.
