The New Aesthetics of International Law: After Institutions

Riles, Annelise

In this seminar, Professor Riles wants to suggest that we are moving into a post-institutional world—one defined not by a return from institutions to law but by a new set of global aesthetic practices which she will call the aesthetics of tagging. Riles will discuss two examples—the UN SDGs and the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and end with a few thoughts on what such a moment demands of us as theorist-practitioners.
