Anxious reconciliation(s): unsettling foundations and spatializing history. BHANDAR, B. Environment and Planning D - Society and Space, 22(6):831–845, 2004. ![Anxious reconciliation(s): unsettling foundations and spatializing history [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex In this paper I explore the relationship between law, history, and reconciliation in the Canadian context. I argue that linear, teleological forms of history are employed by courts to continually reiterate the myth of a legitimate assertion of colonial sovereignty. By doing so, any potential for political transformation that lies in the objective of reconciliation is stunted; political challenges brought in the form of aboriginal rights claims are folded back into the existing political, economic, and juridical structures of the nation-state. I conclude with an examination of how spatializing history in a nonlinear, nonteleological way could open up possibilities for political change and transformation.
