Abstract

This reflection contrasts the dominant imaginary underlying 'law of the Anthropocene' with an imaginary reaching towards 'law/s for the Anthropocene'. It does so primarily by contrasting two imaginaries of human embodiment—law's existing imaginary of quasi-disembodiment and an alternative imaginary of embodiment as co-woven with the lively incipiencies and tendencies of matter. It draws on 'transcorporeality' and 'sympoiesis' as inspiration for 'sympoietic normativities' as ways of co-living and co-organizing in the face of the catastrophic implications of the Anthropocene emergency.
