Mark Antaki


Biography

Mark Antaki is interested in law as a fundamental and linguistic human activity, in phenomenological and genealogical approaches to law, as well as in the disciplinary nature of law - and even in the idea of (legal) indiscipline.

He has published on subjects such as the turn to “imagination" in legal theory, the discourses of “values” and “proportionality” in constitutional law, the metaphor of the book in South Africa’s interim constitution, exemplarity in legal reasoning, and on Roland Barthes and law. He co-edited Sensing the Nation’s Law: Historical Inquiries into the Aesthetics of Democratic Legitimacy (2018) as well as Rationalité pénale et démocratie (2013).

He has been a visiting scholar at Kent Law School and Griffith Law School, a Fellow of the Stellenbosch Institute of Advanced Study, and a Resident Faculty Fellow of ۲ݮƵ’s Institute for the Public Life of Arts and Ideas. He is also a member of the organizing committee of the Association for the Study of Law, Culture, and the Humanities and part of the Groupe de recherche sur les humanités juridiques.

Professor Antaki graduated from ۲ݮƵ in 1996 under the National Programme with a BCL and an LLB. He has a PhD in Jurisprudence and Social Policy from the University of California, Berkeley. His doctoral thesis undertook a "Genealogy of Crimes Against Humanity".
