Eating People is Wrong: Competing Visions of the Rules of the Sea
Mapping or charting is not limited to land. View the lecture by Professor
Brian Simpson on video, Eating People is Wrong (University of Calgary
Faculty of Law, 1984).
| QUESTION | What does this lecture and the episodes it describes tell us about differences in mapping space, and the values and motives of those who vision the space in legal terms? |
| READING | "Wrestling with Law: (Geographical) Specificity
vs. (Legal) Abstraction" (1990) 11 Urban Geography 566. This reading will be especially helpful to those of you new to the area of legal history and 'critical legal geography' and help illustrate how both space and the law which governs it are socially constructed. |
