TY - CHAP A1 - Chiaramonte, Xenia T1 - Law is other wor(l)ds T2 - The case for reduction / edited by Christoph F.E. Holzhey and Jakob Schillinger ; Cultural Inquiry ; 25 N2 - This paper turns to the thought of Yan Thomas to address the way of constructing categories and operating through them that is typical of law. The art of law displays a special quality: the reduction of the 'things' of the social world through the construction of categories, and the use of these same categories to conduct legal operations. The paper argues that the quintessential legal performance is instituting, and it finally asks how to exercise a legal imagination for Gaia.
