Critical legal scholarship has recently turned to consider the form, mode and role of law in neoliberal governance. A central theme guiding much of this literature is the importance of understanding neoliberalism as not only a political or economic phenomenon, but also an inherently juridical one. This article builds on these conceptualisations of neoliberalism in turning to explore the wider historical, cultural and sociological contexts which inform the production of neoliberal authority. The papers in this collection were first presented at the symposium ‘Forms of authority beyond the neoliberal state’, held at the Griffith Law School in December 2017. They consider the role of the corporation, the site of the university, the politics of debt, the genre of prestige television, and the archic sources of state violence, in order to imagine forms of authority which lie beyond neoliberalism as an ideology and a set of practices, and the ensemble of institutions which constitute the neoliberal state. The contributions draw on social theory, philosophy, cultural studies, legal geography and political theology in exploring new possibilities for cultivating judgement through and beyond the sovereign, political and aesthetic terrains of neoliberal governance.

超越新自由主义国家的权威形式：主权、政治和美学

批判性法律学术最近转向考虑法律在新自由主义治理中的形式、模式和作用。指导这些文献的一个中心主题是将新自由主义不仅理解为一种政治或经济现象，而且还是一种固有的法律现象的重要性。本文以这些新自由主义的概念为基础，转而探索影响新自由主义权威产生的更广泛的历史、文化和社会背景。该合集中的论文于 2017 年 12 月在格里菲斯法学院举行的“新自由主义国家之外的权威形式”研讨会上首次发表。 它们考虑了公司的作用、大学所在地、债务政治、有声望的电视类型，以及国家暴力的原始来源，为了将超越新自由主义的权威形式想象成一种意识形态和一套实践，以及构成新自由主义国家的机构集合。这些贡献借鉴了社会理论、哲学、文化研究、法律地理学和政治神学，探索了通过和超越新自由主义治理的主权、政治和美学领域来培养判断力的新可能性。
