Feeling Queer Jurisprudence
Injury, Intimacy, Identity
Book • 2020
In Feeling Queer Jurisprudence: Injury, Intimacy, Identity, Senthorun Raj explores the interplay of emotion and law in the legal recognition and adjudication of LGBT lives.
He argues that emotions influence judicial reasoning and outcomes in cases involving personal injury, intimate relationships, and identity claims.
By bringing affective analysis to jurisprudence, the book reveals how emotional norms shape legal categories and the possibilities for legal progress.
Raj combines critical legal theory with queer scholarship to show how emotion both constrains and enables reform.
The work contributes to broader debates about the role of sentiment, trauma, and belonging in rights-based litigation and policy.
