"rivers in nomos: sounding law from transit through Western Amazonian terrains"

What do landscapes bring to legal relations? How might reliefs of terrain move in manners that interrupt, modify, and even generate entanglements of law? This talk draws from sounds and soundings of river transport along the Trapecio amazónico in order to stress that landscapes are not merely prior to nation-state commands but crosscut them in ways obvious, if seldom considered.
