Abstract
This book is an invitation to see constitutions, rights’ generative and aesthetic manifestoes, chronicles and charters of relations, prophecy and fantastic utopian visions as well as other such figurations as species of that wider genre. What characterises constitutions, rights’ declarations, charters, utopias and manifestoes when they’re seen as part of the genre of council literatures is the fact that their status is negotiated and instituted by those of us who come to them as precious gifts, seeking counsel from the council of a text. In ethical and jurisprudential terms, the question of this book concerns the modality of expression we can use to generalise our lived experience of history as negation. So that we can hope to take it in a different direction.
