Tuitt, Patricia (2014) Literature, invention and law in South Africa’s constitutional transformation. In: Van Marle, K. and Motha, Stewart (eds.) Genres of Critique: Law, Aesthetics and Liminality. The STIAS Series. Stellenbosch, SA: Sun Press, pp. 73-88. ISBN 9781920689025.
Abstract
Book synopsis: The book seeks to open and explore the liminal space of critique at the intersection of law, aesthetics and politics. The essays in this volume elaborate and expand the meaning and significance of critique through an engagement with aesthetic forms. Although this endeavour has wider significance, the focus is primarily on South Africa. The various contributions arose out of a process of reading, writing and discussion among visiting scholars at the Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study (STIAS), Stellenbosch University, South Africa, in 2010. The project responds to the limits of the transplantation of critical legal studies into different jurisdictions, especially South Africa. The essays develop an approach to critical legal thinking that is conscious of critique as a problem of genre and seek to open up this problem of genre in the context of critical legal studies.
