Abstract

Within the context of the mere posit of resistance, who is the remnant within the time of the now? Does the remnant include the postcolonial juridical subject as the index of a cultural and political pluralism that theoretically critiques, reformulates, and resists monolithic and/or monotheistic conceptualizations of law? Is the postcolonial subject (as subaltern) excluded from the juridical idea of the remnant (the chosen, the elect) within the state of grace? Is the very existence of a remnant in the time of the now as itself a resistance to normative and hierarchical law antithetical, by definition, to the resistance of the subaltern?
