On the Systematic and Historical Analysis of Concessionary Zones
Abstract Recent scholarship has emphasized the importance of extractive zones and enclaves in contemporary capitalism. This article seeks to understand the form of authority within these zones. To do so, it charts a brief genealogy of the concession, the reciprocal agreements entered into by states and companies that govern many extractive enclaves. Because concessions have a long, convoluted, and underexamined history, they are an ideal object for examining the shifting configurations of law, sovereignty, property, and government that undergird contemporary extraction. Neither simply public law nor private right, concessions are a unique legal form designed to produce nonsystematic and exceptional legal spaces that remain central to capitalist societies today.
期刊介绍:
Public Culture is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal of cultural studies, published three times a year—in January, May, and September. It is sponsored by the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication, NYU. A four-time CELJ award winner, Public Culture has been publishing field-defining ethnographies and analyses of the cultural politics of globalization for over thirty years. The journal provides a forum for the discussion of the places and occasions where cultural, social, and political differences emerge as public phenomena, manifested in everything from highly particular and localized events in popular or folk culture to global advertising, consumption, and information networks. Artists, activists, and scholars, both well-established and younger, from across the humanities and social sciences and around the world, present some of their most innovative and exciting work in the pages of Public Culture.
