Sarai Reader 05:
Bare Acts

The Sarai Reader 05 looks at “Acts” as instruments of legislation, at things within and outside the law, and at “acts”- as different ways of “doing” things in society and culture.

This issue foregrounds the discourse surrounding piracy, borders, surveillance, claims to authority and entitlement, the language of expertise, the legal regulation of sexual behaviour and trespasses of various kinds that have been prominently featured in the previous Readers as well.
