AND WHO CARES? and GARY WICKHAM, ‘KRYGIER’S FIFTH PUZZLE or WHY THE RULE OF LAW BY ANY OTHER NAME WOULD SMELL AS SWEET (OR AS SOUR)’ (both papers at http://www.law.unsw.edu.au/centres/cisl/index.asp) On Wednesday, 13 October, 2010 At 5.30 for 6.00pm In the Staff Common Room, 2nd Floor UNSW LAW SCHOOL.

Would those interested in attending the seminar/dinner (either/or/or both) please let Martin Krygier ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) know ahead of time. Martin Krygier: is Gordon Samuels Professor of Law and Social Theory, UNSW. He writes often on the rule of law. He is particularly interested in attempts to generate it in inauspicious conditions, and their implications for our understanding of the rule of law, its conditions and its consequences. One focus of his research has been post-communist Europe. He was co-editor of: The Rule of Law after Communism (1999), Rethinking the Rule of Law after Communism (2005), and Spreading Democracy and the Rule of Law? (2006), and guest editor of the special issue of the Hague Journal on the Rule of Law (vol. 1, no.2, 2009), on ‘the fall of European Communism: 20 Years After.’ Gary Wickham: is Professor of Sociology at Murdoch University in Western Australia. His books include Foucault and Law (co-authored with Alan Hunt, 1994) and Using Foucault’s Methods (co-authored with Gavin Kendall, 1999), both of which have recently been translated into Japanese, and Rethinking Law, Society and Governance: Foucault’s Bequest (co-edited with George Pavlich, 2001). His recent articles on law have appeared in the Journal of Law and Society, the Griffith Law Review, and Law, Text, Culture. His current research focuses on the way in which each of society, law, politics, and culture (along with other elements, such as morality, reason, sovereignty, state, and religion) has been and continues to be understood within the social sciences and humanities academy, and with the development of arguments about how they might be better understood. This line of inquiry has seen him adopt a more critical tone towards Foucault and develop a special interest in a number of early modern thinkers, especially Thomas Hobbes. .
