Choice and Consent
Routledge Cavendish (Verlag)
978-0-415-57446-4 (ISBN)
Written by an international cast of contributors, offering different cultural perspectives as well as doctrinal and theoretical knowledge, this collection of essays presents a dialogue between different feminist positions and approaches to a common theme.
It addresses a range of questions, including:
Can 'consent' be rethought and infused with different meanings in a post-liberal feminist politics?
Can the concepts of 'choice' and 'consent' have consistent meanings and functions between different areas of law, or whether they prove to be highly contingent when viewed across the broad field of law.
Exploring the deeply gendered concepts of ‘choice’ and ‘consent’ and examining the philosophical and jurisprudential issues surrounding them as well as how ‘choice’ and ‘consent’ operate in particular areas of law, including criminal law, medical law, constitutional law, employment law, family law and civil procedure, this volume is a key resource for postgraduate law students studying jurisprudence.
Rosemary Hunter is Professor of Law at the University of Kent, UK and Sharon Cowan is a lecturer in law at the School of Law at Edinburgh University.
