This critique of property examines its classical conception: addressing its ontology and history, as well as considering its symbolic aspects and connection to social relations of power.
It is organized around three themes:
the ways in which concepts of property are symbolically and practically connected to relations of power
the 'objects' of property in changing contexts of materialism
challenges to the Western idea of property posed by colonial and post-colonial contexts, such as the disempowerment through property of...

Margaret Davies takes up the insights of reader-response criticism to explore how the conventions and strategies of the Gospel of Matthew draw the reader into the world that the text creates. There is a recognition also of the text's significance as authoritative scripture for modern Christians, and the bias that this gives to any interpretative strategy. This is a reprint of the 1993 edition.

The editor of this new Routledge collection reminds us that property is one of the most unassailable concepts of modern Western legal systems .

Against the backdrop of analytical jurisprudence, the book draws theoretical connections and continuities between different experiences, spheres, and modalities of law and in particular legal pluralism. Taking up the many forms of critical and socio-legal thought,...
