This article engages with international lawyers’ growing historiographical appetites. It makes the argument that the critical histories that have come to populate the international legal literature over the last decades continue to be organised along the very lines set by the linear historical narratives which they seek to question and disrupt. It makes a plea for radical historical critique, that is, for critical histories that move beyond the markers, periodisation and causal sequencing they seek to displace or disrupt and that embrace a consciously interventionist history-writing attitude with a view to unbridling disciplinary imagination.

国际法的批判史和对规训想象的压制

本文涉及国际律师日益增长的史学胃口。它提出的论点是，过去几十年间充斥于国际法律文献中的批判历史继续按照它们试图质疑和破坏的线性历史叙述所设定的路线来组织。它呼吁进行激进的历史批判，也就是说，批判的历史超越了它们试图取代或破坏的标记、分期和因果顺序，并拥抱有意识的干预主义历史写作态度，以期放宽学科想象力。
