Formal and informal institutions structure our social interactions by giving rise to normative expectations and patterns of collective behaviour. This collection grapples with how affect, imagination, and embodiment can operate to either constrain or enable the justice of institutions and the experiences of specific social identities.

This anthology explores the myriad ways institutions work to systematically disadvantage people with particular identities, whilst privileging others, and considers the legal, political, and normative interventions that might serve to promote a more just society. Taken together, the papers represent the scope of existing research within institutional theory, affect theory, race theory, and the force of social imaginaries. Across a range of topics (human rights, the theoretical imagination, social justice practices, and democratic assumptions) this collection critically assesses the extent to which theorists have attended to the conjoined influence of the imagination, embodiment, and affective phenomena on processes of institutional change that aim at the achievement of social justice.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal, Angelaki.
