In: Law and Social Theory
The most basic assertions about our bodies--that they are ours and distinguish us from each other, that they are private and have boundaries, races, and genders--are all political theories, constructed in legal texts for political purposes. So argues Alan Hyde in this first account of the body in legal thought. Hyde demonstrates that none of the constructions of the body in legal texts are universal truths that rest solely on body experience. Drawing on an array of fascinating case material, he shows that legal texts can construct all kinds of bodies, including those that are not owned at all

Discusses the growing imbalance between where people are dying & where there is space to bury them, & suggests a surprising solution that Australian entrepreneurs could develop. The baby boomers phenomenon will place increasing pressure due to shortages of burial space in North America & Western Europe. Ample space for cemeteries could be provided in the Australian Outback. Arguments are made for the practicality of this idea from the transport of bodies to the creation of a funeral tourism industry & the provision of Internet observation of funerals & visits to the gravesite.
