Abstract/Summary:
This thesis is a work of interpretation about interpretations of law. It exposes mainstream approaches of law, a critical legal pluralist approach and a legal geographic approach to methods of questioning provoked by a series of events connected to "Palestinian Human Rights Week" at McGill Faculty of Law. These events are used to highlight that the theoretical approach of a Critical Legal Pluralism can better account for power relations than mainstream approaches to law but, that it can nonetheless be usefully supplemented by an appreciation of Legal Geography in order to account for the how of power relations, prevent the reification of 'human legal agency' and make a move beyond the human/non-human binary.
