Jurisprudence, Legal Theory, Expressionism, DeleuzeAbstract
This present article intends to develop a specific reading of legal theory through the deleuzean concept of expression as Edward Mussawir, in his book Jurisdiction in Deleuze, understands it. This article takes as its starting point the opposition between a more abstract and universal kind of theorization, and one which is more concerned with local and concrete questions usually associated with jurisdictional practice. What this article understands as an expressionist approach is to take seriously how legal language acts and transforms the world that it takes as its object. Through this approach, the research intends to examine a few legal conceptual descriptions of the animality within the law, what are the material consequences of these descriptions and how they transcend a strictly representational function.
