- This was a fully co-produced piece (50/50) between a scholar of law with a long history of working with literature, and a literary scholar with a long history of working with the law. The work expanded from Motha’s interest in the relationship between J.M.Coetze’s rewriting of Robinson Crusoe and the invocation of ‘Man Friday’/Crusoe in the political and legal discourse around the expulsion and bid for return of the Chagos Islanders; and from Jones’s previous publication on the legal discourse relating to the Chagossians in relation to the literary history of the region, and her interest in expanding this to relate more directly to Defoe’s original novel. Both authors conducted research on the wikileaks documents, the Australian cases and conceptual work on the nomos, and brought their thinking to the writing of the paper.
