To whom does the law speak? Canvassing a neglected picture of law’s interpretive field (2014)
Book Chapter

Among the most common strategies underlying the so-called indeterminacy thesis is the following two-step argument: (1) that law is an interpretive practice, and that evidently legal actors more generally hold different (and competing) theories of mea...

The ability to ‘write’ data to the internet via tags and barcodes offers a context in which objects will increasingly become a natural extension of the web. And as easy as the public was to adopt cloud based services to store address books, documents... Read More about Knowledge recovery : applications of technology and memory.

Britain : Striking unionism with a political cutting edge (2014)
Book Chapter

Compared with the wave of general strikes that have swept across Europe since 2009, the response of UK trade unions to the global financial crisis and government austerity measures has been rather more muted. However, in March 2011 there was the larg... Read More about Britain : Striking unionism with a political cutting edge.

Virtuality and humanity (2014)
Book Chapter

This chapter discusses the key questions raised by its title—what should we understand by the terms virtuality, humanity, and, thereby, by the term reality? These questions are explored with reference to the work of philosophers such as Henri Bergson... Read More about Virtuality and humanity.

The cybersport nexus (2014)
Book Chapter

Exercise machines increasingly incorporate computer-controlled motion and force feedback and will eventually become reactive robotic sports partners.…Today’s rudimentary, narrowband video games will evolve into physically engaging telesports.
