ESSAY 2 “[C]ritical theory, in its varied iterations, witnesses its most impressive moments of efflorescence in times of crisis.” (Spillers 2020: 681) We need wait no longer for a crisis to inspire a renewal. We’re up to the neck in crises. But how will critical theory respond? (Spillers 2020: 683) Reflect on the quote above and write an essay in which you track the development of the critical theories of law and the specific understanding of crisis animating each theory of law.
