Likely, a combination of both approaches is needed. Yet, there remains a tendency to urge citizens toward legality without fully considering whether the state meets their expectations.

The individual contributions that make up the special issue are outlined and salient themes pulled out that address and respond to some the wider discussion points raised throughout this introduction. These are closely focused around the central concept of bricolage and the idea of the researcher as bricoleur. Some background context on the anthropological underpinnings to bricolage is provided, alongside methodological reflections that relate the concept to ideas of "gleaning" as a creative and performative engagement with everyday spaces as they are "found" and rehearsed in practice. A core focus on questions of method, and of autoethnographic approaches in particular, is presented alongside questions of research ethics and the policing thereof by institutional structures of disciplining and audit in the neoliberal academy. It is argued that bricolage is, among other things, a practical response to a field of practice that at times constrains as much as it allows space to roam, unimpeded, across disciplinary boundaries. From the overarching purview of spatial humanities and spatial anthropology, it is shown that discussions of bricolage and the researcher as bricoleur can help make explicit the poetics and affects of space, as well as the ethical and procedural frameworks that are brought to bear on how space is put into practice.

@ -1039,7 +1039,7 @@ One of their most pointed critiques addresses the U.S. claim to global legal aut
The authors push readers to reimagine the rule of law as a means not for maintaining order but for preserving a global hierarchy. They call for a radical rethinking of legality—one rooted in collective justice, not imperial control—urging a version of law that genuinely addresses the needs and rights of disenfranchised populations rather than perpetuating cycles of dispossession. By critiquing the rule of law itself, *Plunder* invites a confrontation with the legal structures that shape global power, urging us to see beyond the rhetoric to the extraction and subjugation it so often legitimizes.

@ -1055,7 +1055,7 @@ At the core of this book is an attempt to open a black box in the jurisprudence
I envisage two core audiences for this book. One is made up of international lawyers and jurists with an interest in theory, especially critical theories of the field: among them there may be some without much background in Marxism. The other consists of Marxists, who may not have much knowledge of key debates in the theory of international law. This lack of common ground means there is a risk that some sections of the book will read either as opaque or excessively introductory for one or other group. I have tried to avoid this, while keeping both readerships in mind. I envisage two core audiences for this book.

Styles which, as someone once said in a Roman summer years ago, still embody a problematic, unadorned beauty within the global metropolis. This continues to be significant in times of self-absolving, so-called Great Beauties.
