Wo/andering about walls: a reply to Elizabeth Mills
This paper is a response to Elizabeth Mills article ‘Gender, Sexuality and the Limits of the Law’. Mills provides concise evidence based unpacking of how domestic law can inhibit or impact the lived realities of sexual and gender minorities in the Global South. Drawing on research carried out within the UK based Sexuality, Poverty and Law Programme (SPLP) Mills considers what (and who) shapes the law and what, in turn, shapes peoples experiences of the law. Mills is particularly concerned with issues of embodiment, materiality and precarity in the lives of those who often find themselves excluded from the law - either actively or through negation. As we see an increasing reliance on homonationalism as an indicator of modernity, linked to investment by the Global North in the Global South, the article raises several key questions that are pertinent to the current global moment.
