- Our Gardens of Justice special themed issue of the Australian Feminist Law Journal grew out of the 2012 Critical Legal Conference in Stockholm and its theme of Gardens of Justice, a conference organised by Matilda Arvidsson, Merima Bruncevic, Leila Brannstrom and Leif Dahlberg. We issued a Call for Papers early in 2013 in which several conference theme questions were repeated. We called for papers devoted to thinking about law and justice as a physical as well as a social environment. The theme suggested a plurality of justice gardens that may function together but at times also may be at odds with each other. We invited authors to think freely and critically about both the concrete and the metaphorical garden, and invited articles that addressed questions of law and justice as spatial and spatializing structures, as social topography and geography, as political cartography on a global scale, as places where symbolic orders and disorders become visible and may be acted out, as mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion, as masculine and feminine and as social utopia. Later in 2013 we re-issued the Call for Papers emphasizing the metaphorical and the juridical linking of gardens and justice: Gardens and Justice have been joined as figurae, genres and topoi in the classical writings of Virgil, in the Old Testament text of Genesis and the Garden of Eden, in Milton's epic of Paradise Lost, in Blackstone in Commentaries on the Laws of England, and not the last, in Neil Young's lyrics 'After the Garden', in his 2006 album Living with War. These and numerous other texts are peopled by figures who live at home, and others who depart from home. Together, and apart, they invite us to continue their genre of living and writing in a world of imperfection, suffering and violence, while maintaining other possibilities and other beginnings. The AFLJ invited articles which investigated the use of garden narratives, whether in jurisprudential writings, in film, in literary works, in political theory, or postcolonial theory, amongst other disciplinary conventions and media. Amongst the numerous questions which could be pursued, we posed the following: How do garden narratives and their figures structure an understanding of Justice, and for what purposes have gardens and justice been linked in national and international law? Are gardens our images of utopia, heaven, peace, or simply a homecoming from the deserts of life? Do gardens help us understand nations and territory? Are gardens ever secular? Are there historic forms of governance encoded in garden narratives? In what ways do Justice narratives in the 21st century understand the figure who leaves the garden as having a persona as stranger, serf, refugee or simply human, or not-human?

A Modern Trial : A Study of the Use of Video-Recorded Testimonies in the Swedish Court of Appeal
- 2013

Ingår i: Studies in Law, Politics, and Society. - 1059-4337. ; 61, s. 81-135

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The essay studies the introduction and use of audio-visual media in contemporary Swedish courtroom praxis and how this affects social interaction and the constitution of judicial space. The background to the study is the increasing use of video technology in law courts during the last decennium, and in particular the reformed trial code regulating court proceedings introduced in Sweden in 2008. The reform is called A Modern Trial (En modernare raättegång, Proposition 2004/05:131). An important innovation is that testimonies in lower level court proceedings now are video recorded and, in case of an appeal trial, then are screened in the appellate court. The study of social interaction and the constitution of judicial space in the essay is based in part on an ethnographic study of the Stockholm appellate court(Svea hovraätt) conducted in the fall 2010; in part on a study of the preparatory works to the legal reform; and in part on research on how media technology affects social interaction and the constitution of space and place.

Before the Temple of Justice: Reading Roman Law Reading
- 2011

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article argues against the view that Roman law consciously resisted or even rejected the philosophical approach found in Greek thought and that it conceived and pursued legal scholarship in an exclusively practical and pragmatic fashion. In opposition to this view, this article maintains that the non-theoretical nature of Roman law is a fiction and part of an ideology, produced in order to disguise its ideological practices and to hide the mechanics of its workings. Not only do the classical Roman jurists (iuris consulti, iuris prudentes) discuss the nature and sources of law, they also engage in theorising law. Furthermore, in contrast to traditional commentary on Roman law, which tends to view theoretical approaches to law as not having a creative function in shaping the law, this article considers theoretical reflection a productive activity. However, theory implies not only philosophical reflection, but also an awareness and interest in the rhetorical and performative aspects of language. The article tries to show that in reading and interpreting statutes and cases, the Roman jurists are working with—but also resisting—the rhetorical and tropological dimensions of language, and that such a resistance to reading law is constitutive of legal theory. The article also suggests that this reading practice has certain affinities with cartographic practice.
