Traditional medicines, law, and the (dis)ordering of temporalities
Full text linkIn this chapter, I explore the regulation of alternative and traditional medicine, in order to reflect on how particular temporalities shape, and are shaped by, the interface between law and medicine. This chapter makes two key points: first, it argues that both biomedicine and law have relied on a particular sense of ‘modernity’ as a linear temporal process; in turn, this has been key in developing both crude, and more subtle, social patterns of power, dominance, and exclusion that continue to impact on contemporary societies. Second, it argues that as law increasingly engages in the regulation of other types of medicine, it continues to emulate biomedical models and assumptions as to what ‘modern medicine’ should look like, including its temporal features
On Moving the Table: Reflections on an Author-Meets-Reader Session
Full text linkThrough a commentary on the enriching experience of receiving feedback through the Brewing Legal Times author-meets-reader session in February 2018, this piece reflects on the intellectual generosity and scholarly labour that makes such sessions an important form of academic social reproduction
Chapter Introduction
Full text linkIn bringing together this collection on law’s relationship with time, our
concern has been to register an increasing commitment among scholars across
disciplines to shift such patterns of engagement. Our own research over the past
few years has been preoccupied with the question of law’s temporalities, drawing
on a range of critical resources to investigate, through empirical research, the coproduction
of legal and temporal norms, subjectivities and political ontologies. In
our related efforts to create an interdisciplinary network of scholars working on
law and time,2 we have noted a distinct openness to questions of law, regulation
and legality from social sciences and humanities scholars working on temporality,
on the one hand (e.g. Adkins, 2012; Amoore, 2013; de Goede, 2015; Mitropoulos,
2012; Opitz et al., 2015), and an incisive conceptual and methodological
interdisciplinarity among critical and socio-legal scholars, on the other (e.g.
Cooper, 2013; Cornell, 1990; Craven et al., 2006; Douglas, 2011; Fitzpatrick,
2013; Keenan, 2014; Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos, 2013; Valverde, 2015; van
Marle, 2003). Critical approaches to linear time and attention to law’s shaping of
time in diverse forms and through multiple techniques have animated research
across disciplines. We hope that the present collection will highlight these shared
concerns, fostering the cross-fertilisation of ideas and methods and further
developing conversations on law and time between socio-legal scholars, anthropologists,
sociologists, geographers, historians and others

Disruptive Time: Parental Leave, Flexible Work, and Superannuation in Australia
Full text linkReproduction and child-rearing are distinctly gendered, temporalising acts in Australia. As such, reproduction is structured around temporalities of care and labour, and these temporalities emerge and disrupt established orderings in daily life, lifetimes, and larger-scale timelines. This thesis uncovers the underlying conception of time in the Australian legal regimes of parental leave, flexible work, and superannuation and its gendered connotations. As a socio-legal project, this thesis uses existing empirical evidence and theoretical material to conceptualise, critically analyse, and theorise the gendered temporalities of women with children in Australia. By constructing a feminist critique of neo-maternalistic productivism in Australia's parental leave, flexible work and superannuation systems, the thesis provides an alternate theory of disrupted temporalities in maternity
