摘要

This essay interprets Drucilla Cornell’s 1990s work as a feminist jurisprudence of persons, centred on the concepts of imagination and individuation. First, I look at how Cornell reconfigures the legal idea(l) of ‘the person’ by underlining the constitutive role of the imagination through her reading of Kant and psychoanalysis. I then turn to how Cornell reimagines the conditions of personhood, bringing moral autonomy and psychic individuation together under a law of intergenerational ‘dignity.’ Finally, I look at Cornell’s proposals for a legal right to the ‘conditions of individuation’ centred on the protection of the ‘imaginary domain’ as the psychic and moral space to imagine our own sexuate personhood.
