Gaining Ground: Towards A Discourse Of Posthuman Animality: A Geophilosophical Journey, Anne Schillmoller
Gaining Ground: Towards A Discourse Of Posthuman Animality: A Geophilosophical Journey, Anne Schillmoller
Anne Schillmoller
The paper seeks articulate possibilities for a reciprocal ground of animality, a non hegemonic conceptual frontier within which the sovereign terrain of liberal humanism might yield to networks of alliances and reciprocities among human and other animals. The objective is to locate topographies where the conditions of creaturely life may be conceptualised in relational and non anthropocentric terms. It seeks to identify possibilities for a discourse of animality which avoids the haunting spectre of humanism. Specifically, it explore routes which may avoid the dualisms of western thought and identify alternative ways by which animality might be conceptualised and represented. Its …

Philosophy, not jurisprudence Note that this is not a ‘jurisprudence’ unit. The reasons why will be discussed in detail in topic 1. Briefly, jurisprudence approaches questions about law from an ‘internal’ or ‘inside’ perspective, that is, one which seeks a conceptual basis for law from within law itself.This unit, however, aims to situate ideas about law and justice within a broader range of philosophical contexts. While traditional jurisprudence provides insights into particular theoretical movements within Anglo-Australian law, it fails to interrogatebroader philosophical frameworks or ‘external’ perspectives which inform thisjurisprudence. It is these broader frameworks which are the central concern of …

Animal Law Unit Outline, Anne Louise Schillmoller

As a significant growth area of law, the central aim of this unit is to enable students to identify and evaluate the legal frameworks which regulate various types of human-animal interaction and to consider the ways in which these frameworks impact upon the interests of animals. In addition, the unit provides an opportunity for students to identify and critique the ways in which animals are conceptualised in law, including the philosophical, scientific and economic assumptions which inform the law relating to animals. Finally, the unit will enable students to reflect upon the adequacy of laws relating to animals and to …

Law 10487 Animal Law 2nd Edition, Anne Louise Schillmoller, Amber Hall
Anne Schillmoller
To some extent, the name of this unit, ‘Animal Law’, is a misnomer. While the central concern of this unit is with the well-being and protection of non-human animals, its practical focus is upon the ways in which humans and human institutions, including the apparatus of law, regard, regulate, and interact with non-human beings. Such a focus exhorts ‘we’ humans to reflect upon our behaviours, practices, attitudes and responsibilities towards non-human animals. Specifically, it requires us to interrogate and challenge the assumed sovereignty of humans over animals, the ways in which human interests are routinely privileged over those of animals, …

Earth jurisprudence is an emerging area of law in which the integrity and health of ecosystems become a central concern of human legal and political institutions. In recent years, several countries have proposed constitutional reforms which mandate legal recognition of ecosystems’ ‘right to exist’. In September 2008 Ecuador became the first country in the world to declare constitutional ‘rights of nature’ and to codify a new system of environmental governance. The new laws grant citizens the right to sue on behalf of an ecosystem, even if not injured themselves. As one of the architects of this new legal framework observed, …

Law 00117 Administrative Law 3rd Edition, Anne Louise Schillmoller
Anne Schillmoller
Robin Creyke and John McMillan suggest that ‘the broad purpose of administrative law is to safeguard the rights and interests of people and corporations in their dealings with government agencies.’ Just as important, however, is the role played by administrative law in engendering sound decision-making and decision making processes. In this sense, administrative law is not just about placing controls on government action, nor safeguarding the rights of individuals in their dealings with the State, but it also provides the means by which good and accountable government administration is facilitated. The oversight of administrative action by courts and tribunals, together …
