Abstract
This commentary considers the question of whether there is, or should be, a law and humanities canon by exploring the identity and value of the field and querying the concept of canon itself as an authoritative cultural technique of intellectual and social reproduction. I argue that the common trait which binds works in the field of law and humanities together is the connective ?and,? which is inimical to the concept of a canon. Thinking with Barbara Hernstein Smith?s work on value and evaluation, Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht?s criticism of canons and classics, and Frantz Fanon?s understanding of personal universality, I show that the notion of an inclusive or ?global? canon is an oxymoron and argue that it ought to be resisted.
