ABSTRACT
The law clings onto this new 'ideal' space and delivers itself from its normative obsession by allowing the spatial influx to operate as law's new clothes. While this is arguably preferable to the aforementioned parochial turn, it can work against the potential of spatial turn for the law. Counterintuitively, the greatest problem with the approach is its spatial idealization. The students usually associate perceived lack of safety with an absence of law, namely an absence of signs that denote law as boundary against their body. Thus, the presence of policeman has calming effect on Shabana. Law is seen as an enabling spatial factor of enjoyment. For another student, however, the experience is different. Armand's steps brought him to the area of the US Embassy in London, a heavily policed, barricaded area in an otherwise aesthetically pleasing square. The chapter shares the law inspired by the wholehearted embracing by author's class of mapping the city by walking and observing their movement.
