STREAM ABSTRACT
This stream intends to reflect the growing presence of cyber issues
in the legal discourse. There is no singular or specific aspect of cyberlaw
or cyber issue that this stream wishes to address - the stream is open to
the influence of its participants for suggestions as to particular topics
to be covered, in deference to the wide range of issues that cyberspace
engenders. Inventive, innovative suggestions and perspectives for papers
are encouraged. However, it is hoped that critical reflection will be a
theme that contributers might wish to include, and theoretically informed
papers in particular are invited to counterbalance the predominantly
technical and/or black-letter law profiles of the more mainstream Western
legal approaches. Interdisciplinary papers are also particularly welcomed,
from non-legal as well as legal backgrounds, as well as papers informed by
non-Western legal traditions, in an endeavour to make current legal
understandings of cyberspace and cyber issues more nuanced than at present.
As Roseanne Allucquere Stone suggests in her book The War of Desire and
Technology at the Close of the Mechanical Age, we are currently at a
juncture where new configurations of academic thought may emerge from the
dialogue between disciplines. Taking up this hope, this stream
acknowledges that the interface between law and cyberspace, informed by
interdisciplinary insights and international perspectives, may well prove
critical in understanding and shaping both the present and future of
Cyberlaw.
Abstracts of not more than 300 words and/or further inquiries should be sent
to Bela Chatterjee by email at the above address, by January 31 2001 at the
latest. Participants may also want to include a few lines about their
research interests and institutional affiliations along with the abstract.
