Barron's complaint: A response to "feminism, aestheticism and the limits of law"

Peter Goodrich

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In academic contexts, it is always likely that an author who criticises another's work - in a book review, or an article - will know the other author personally. They may well be friends. Reflecting upon the intimacy of the public sphere, this article responds to the tone of a recent critique of the style and politics of postmodern jurisprudence. Questions of style, tone and scriptural face are an unconventional point of entry into a discussion of feminism, aesthetics and law. It is argued here that these issues are intrinsic to the embodiment of theory that Barron proposes.
