Bakhtin on Language and Legal Positivism

We welcome Julen Extabe, Canada Research Chair in Jurisprudence and Human Rights and Assistant Professor at the Allard School of Law, University of British Columbia.

Professor Extabe's current research combines legal and literary theory to identify a new model of dialogical judgment emerging in the area of human rights, which is transforming inherited notions of reasoning, rights, authority, and law in the post-national and diverse societies of the 21st century.

This talk is sponsored by the Équipe de recherche en humanités juridiques.

To receive a copy of the paper Professor Extabe will discuss, kindly email Professor Mark Antaki (mark.antaki [at] mcgill.ca).
