Yet the Stoics did not, contrary to popular perception, have a monopoly over the use of the term. Long before them, Diogenes the Kynic (kyon [gen. kynos] "dog" whence cynic), the founder of the most scorned form of anti-philosophy in Ancient Greece, had already identified himself as "kosmopolitēs". This essay is an original attempt to think through this other use of the word. The aim is not to replicate or monumentalize kynical cosmopolitanism. Instead, I try to conceive a form of 'postkynical' cosmopolitanism through, inter alia, a productive thinking of the aporetic relation between law and freedom. In stark contrast to the conventional Stoic/Kantian cosmopolitanism of global pacification, I eventually arrive at a radical cosmopolitics of world creation or what I simply term 'political cosmogenesis'.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="63e83b02382b85267945c3b753ee1cb6" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":36006207,"asset_id":331093,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/36006207/download_file?st=MTczMjkyMzI2NCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="331093"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="331093"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 331093; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=331093]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=331093]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 331093; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='331093']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 331093, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "63e83b02382b85267945c3b753ee1cb6" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=331093]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":331093,"title":"Towards a Radical Cosmopolitanism","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"Access here: http://gilbertleung.net/2014/01/01/towards-a-radical-cosmopolitanism.\r\n\r\nCosmopolitanism as an expression of human unity can be traced back to the noble philosophy of the Ancient Stoics, from Cleanthes to Seneca to Cicero.

inception in the Ancient Greek world. This paper briefly surveys a selection of contemporary mainstream accounts, which are also liberal, top-down accounts, as represented by David Held, Jürgen Habermas, and Martha Nussbaum. It then proceeds to outline a number of critiques, of which it is suggested the most important are the concept’s supposed relation to imperialism and the tendency in liberal discourses to erase political antagonism. The paper then proceeds to show how a range of bottom-up and radical approaches, as represented by Fuyuki Kurasawa, Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Jacques Derrida, Hardt & Negri, and Costs Douzinas, can serve to imagine cosmopolitanism differently. The aim of this essay is restricted to showing that it is possible, contrary to common understanding, to conceive cosmopolitanism outside standard liberal discourses and in terms of a radically democratic, anti-hegemonic, and antagonistic mode of political resistance. It concludes, somewhat paradoxically, that it is only when cosmopolitanism acts against cosmopolitanism that the concept’s place in the history of ideas is not foreclosed.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="f6985ba540541743d21a48971c895b70" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":36006262,"asset_id":2402832,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/36006262/download_file?st=MTczMjkyMzI2NCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="2402832"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="2402832"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 2402832; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=2402832]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=2402832]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 2402832; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='2402832']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 2402832, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "f6985ba540541743d21a48971c895b70" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=2402832]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":2402832,"title":"Cosmopolitan Ethics from Below","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"Cosmopolitanism or cosmic/universal citizenship is a powerful ethical and political discourse that has been deployed in a variety of ways since its inception in the Ancient Greek world.

The question being: What does it mean to say: the free space of thinking? As my title suggests, I would like to relate the free space of thinking to what one might simply call nomadic thinking. To this end, I will draw upon Deleuze and Guattari's Nomadology and, in addition, the work of Jean-Luc Nancy in order to effect a kind of cross-fertilisation. What I will try to present is the following: first, an impossibly brief conspectus of Nancy's ideas on freedom, space, and what it means to think; second, a brief remark on the relevance of Deleuze and Guattari's nomad war machine; and finally, an all too hasty conclusion that will affirm the necessity to think critique in terms of a critical agency or, what amounts to the same thing, a warring subjectivity.","conference_end_date":{"day":13,"month":9,"year":2010,"errors":{}},"conference_start_date":{"day":11,"month":9,"year":2010,"errors":{}},"grobid_abstract_attachment_id":36007000},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/1672266/Nomadic_Thinking","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2010-09-18T00:13:55.897-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":248891,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"talk","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":36007000,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/36007000/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"NomadicThinking.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/36007000/download_file?st=MTczMjkyMzI2NSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Nomadic_Thinking.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/36007000/NomadicThinking-libre.pdf?1419016460=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DNomadic_Thinking.pdf\u0026Expires=1732926865\u0026Signature=Utc1wgy9St3GtFC9D9YjMWVuvQ1fV64Wv9uXP9WzDG6vVUqH1OIwt-I9r-NQGWt40978jeCHhs65852yeFXso5MCe~FTyHltylHcPb0Vq8BFLxD41K7wtfW6bWGw0VIuXaP3L7I~wPjqamVNyxNmiaGd-WbAT~vlUUufVS1vDwX6oVZUiSm987-xVCKjYjEdnXtt~5MsPZygqG0hvUqpZOOnp97HpjYmnf7cZIi4-L9lAf4z15Fu5UdciQ57pKrcERoDNhfK2qgwL4HLzV163vLc4ho1JzuvGejMtEhwLvxXbR1DB03tl2yo-rKp4OuSgU61kMMeKjX4ZOsVE0ka2g__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Nomadic_Thinking","translated_slug":"","page_count":3,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":248891,"first_name":"Gilbert","middle_initials":"","last_name":"Leung","page_name":"GilbertLeung","domain_name":"birkbeck","created_at":"2010-09-17T23:52:41.450-07:00","display_name":"Gilbert Leung","url":"https://birkbeck.academia.edu/GilbertLeung"},"attachments":[{"id":36007000,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/36007000/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"NomadicThinking.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/36007000/download_file?st=MTczMjkyMzI2NSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Nomadic_Thinking.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/36007000/NomadicThinking-libre.pdf?1419016460=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DNomadic_Thinking.pdf\u0026Expires=1732926865\u0026Signature=Utc1wgy9St3GtFC9D9YjMWVuvQ1fV64Wv9uXP9WzDG6vVUqH1OIwt-I9r-NQGWt40978jeCHhs65852yeFXso5MCe~FTyHltylHcPb0Vq8BFLxD41K7wtfW6bWGw0VIuXaP3L7I~wPjqamVNyxNmiaGd-WbAT~vlUUufVS1vDwX6oVZUiSm987-xVCKjYjEdnXtt~5MsPZygqG0hvUqpZOOnp97HpjYmnf7cZIi4-L9lAf4z15Fu5UdciQ57pKrcERoDNhfK2qgwL4HLzV163vLc4ho1JzuvGejMtEhwLvxXbR1DB03tl2yo-rKp4OuSgU61kMMeKjX4ZOsVE0ka2g__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":8,"name":"Critical Theory","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Critical_Theory"}],"urls":[{"id":295207,"url":"http://criticallegalthinking.com/2010/09/16/nomadic-thinking/"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

This essay is an original attempt to think through this other use of the word. The aim is not to replicate or monumentalize kynical cosmopolitanism. Instead, I try to conceive a form of 'postkynical' cosmopolitanism through, inter alia, a productive thinking of the aporetic relation between law and freedom. In stark contrast to the conventional Stoic/Kantian cosmopolitanism of global pacification, I eventually arrive at a radical cosmopolitics of world creation or what I simply term 'political cosmogenesis'.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/331093/Towards_a_Radical_Cosmopolitanism","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2010-09-18T18:54:44.096-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":248891,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"other","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":36006207,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/36006207/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Towards_a_Radical_Cosmopolitanism-libre.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/36006207/download_file?st=MTczMjkyMzI2NSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjkyMzI2NCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Towards_a_Radical_Cosmopolitanism.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/36006207/Towards_a_Radical_Cosmopolitanism-libre-libre.pdf?1419011666=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DTowards_a_Radical_Cosmopolitanism.pdf\u0026Expires=1732926864\u0026Signature=Y1q9Gjb4gD~QGe6MZ3US8vwQeD-bSzQfjyCPRupqrcN5RxYSkUJlzfZ3AUn5jwuTgij-3Cfw-3hOto3EM3qH0iTkJAPaaf2IK-5uDhT19GF963j89lbBjJZbChTLL2T7HluwjJvnrGBUVhREIuPKfVlt9YaCHG7J2vedUhwOpiiiobH20Xzecy7K7wyDWs~42tbVzRP175lm3zn5LZxNCbEgG2jvNGL~9nDKJsmTX48U2-K8BDN9~eswHv4sujdVYxYS0HUXBGFYNC0Avt8rL3PSoBBTcj85vA2bgX5j9QGnlpfJ~gwDuxOWvjDS6HFHdOKODXUEhcdcoU6Kc3bSwg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Towards_a_Radical_Cosmopolitanism","translated_slug":"","page_count":13,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":248891,"first_name":"Gilbert","middle_initials":"","last_name":"Leung","page_name":"GilbertLeung","domain_name":"birkbeck","created_at":"2010-09-17T23:52:41.450-07:00","display_name":"Gilbert

been deployed in a variety of ways since its inception in the Ancient Greek world. This paper briefly surveys a selection of contemporary mainstream accounts, which are also liberal, top-down accounts, as represented by David Held, Jürgen Habermas, and Martha Nussbaum. It then proceeds to outline a number of critiques, of which it is suggested the most important are the concept’s supposed relation to imperialism and the tendency in liberal discourses to erase political antagonism. The paper then proceeds to show how a range of bottom-up and radical approaches, as represented by Fuyuki Kurasawa, Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Jacques Derrida, Hardt & Negri, and Costs Douzinas, can serve to imagine cosmopolitanism differently. The aim of this essay is restricted to showing that it is possible, contrary to common understanding, to conceive cosmopolitanism outside standard liberal discourses and in terms of a radically democratic, anti-hegemonic, and antagonistic mode of political resistance. It concludes, somewhat paradoxically, that it is only when cosmopolitanism acts against cosmopolitanism that the concept’s place in the history of ideas is not foreclosed.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="f6985ba540541743d21a48971c895b70" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":36006262,"asset_id":2402832,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/36006262/download_file?st=MTczMjkyMzI2NSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjkyMzI2NCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="2402832"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="2402832"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 2402832; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=2402832]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=2402832]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 2402832; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='2402832']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 2402832, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "f6985ba540541743d21a48971c895b70" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=2402832]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":2402832,"title":"Cosmopolitan Ethics from Below","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"Cosmopolitanism or cosmic/universal citizenship is a powerful ethical and political discourse that has been deployed in a variety of ways since its inception in the Ancient Greek world.

The question being: What does it mean to say: the free space of thinking? As my title suggests, I would like to relate the free space of thinking to what one might simply call nomadic thinking. To this end, I will draw upon Deleuze and Guattari's Nomadology and, in addition, the work of Jean-Luc Nancy in order to effect a kind of cross-fertilisation. What I will try to present is the following: first, an impossibly brief conspectus of Nancy's ideas on freedom, space, and what it means to think; second, a brief remark on the relevance of Deleuze and Guattari's nomad war machine; and finally, an all too hasty conclusion that will affirm the necessity to think critique in terms of a critical agency or, what amounts to the same thing, a warring subjectivity.","conference_end_date":{"day":13,"month":9,"year":2010,"errors":{}},"conference_start_date":{"day":11,"month":9,"year":2010,"errors":{}},"grobid_abstract_attachment_id":36007000},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/1672266/Nomadic_Thinking","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2010-09-18T00:13:55.897-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":248891,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"talk","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":36007000,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/36007000/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"NomadicThinking.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/36007000/download_file?st=MTczMjkyMzI2NSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjkyMzI2NSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Nomadic_Thinking.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/36007000/NomadicThinking-libre.pdf?1419016460=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DNomadic_Thinking.pdf\u0026Expires=1732926865\u0026Signature=Utc1wgy9St3GtFC9D9YjMWVuvQ1fV64Wv9uXP9WzDG6vVUqH1OIwt-I9r-NQGWt40978jeCHhs65852yeFXso5MCe~FTyHltylHcPb0Vq8BFLxD41K7wtfW6bWGw0VIuXaP3L7I~wPjqamVNyxNmiaGd-WbAT~vlUUufVS1vDwX6oVZUiSm987-xVCKjYjEdnXtt~5MsPZygqG0hvUqpZOOnp97HpjYmnf7cZIi4-L9lAf4z15Fu5UdciQ57pKrcERoDNhfK2qgwL4HLzV163vLc4ho1JzuvGejMtEhwLvxXbR1DB03tl2yo-rKp4OuSgU61kMMeKjX4ZOsVE0ka2g__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Nomadic_Thinking","translated_slug":"","page_count":3,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":248891,"first_name":"Gilbert","middle_initials":"","last_name":"Leung","page_name":"GilbertLeung","domain_name":"birkbeck","created_at":"2010-09-17T23:52:41.450-07:00","display_name":"Gilbert Leung","url":"https://birkbeck.academia.edu/GilbertLeung"},"attachments":[{"id":36007000,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/36007000/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"NomadicThinking.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/36007000/download_file?st=MTczMjkyMzI2NSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjkyMzI2NSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Nomadic_Thinking.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/36007000/NomadicThinking-libre.pdf?1419016460=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DNomadic_Thinking.pdf\u0026Expires=1732926865\u0026Signature=Utc1wgy9St3GtFC9D9YjMWVuvQ1fV64Wv9uXP9WzDG6vVUqH1OIwt-I9r-NQGWt40978jeCHhs65852yeFXso5MCe~FTyHltylHcPb0Vq8BFLxD41K7wtfW6bWGw0VIuXaP3L7I~wPjqamVNyxNmiaGd-WbAT~vlUUufVS1vDwX6oVZUiSm987-xVCKjYjEdnXtt~5MsPZygqG0hvUqpZOOnp97HpjYmnf7cZIi4-L9lAf4z15Fu5UdciQ57pKrcERoDNhfK2qgwL4HLzV163vLc4ho1JzuvGejMtEhwLvxXbR1DB03tl2yo-rKp4OuSgU61kMMeKjX4ZOsVE0ka2g__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":8,"name":"Critical Theory","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Critical_Theory"}],"urls":[{"id":295207,"url":"http://criticallegalthinking.com/2010/09/16/nomadic-thinking/"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });
