Documentary abstract — original language

Description Slides accompanying a study of how rivers acquire legal personhood through legal language and institutional arrangements. Drawing on the Whanganui, Atrato, Ganga/Yamuna and Yarra/Birrarung cases, the presentation examines how legal recognition constitutes rivers as subjects while placing their agency within systems of representation, guardianship and governance. Presented at: Towards a Philosophy of Legal Concepts: Hermeneutic Itineraries in Legal Theory , Catanzaro, Italy, 15 October 2026 — From River Rights to Legal Personhood: Dispositif Analysis of Concept Formation in Legal Practice . PSC Posthuman Studies Conference Series , Cluj-Napoca, Romania, 12 June 2026 — Emerging Technologies of Legal Subjectivity . The uploaded slides are from the Catanzaro presentation; the Cluj-Napoca version differed slightly.
