                              ABSTRACT

This article in scrapbook form represents the endeavour of the eight authors to
document a recent, collective, academic journey. The project was one embarked upon
as a means to explore tensions between the ideas of embodiment that connected our
work, and the rigidities of academic convention. Using various media, this article
strives, in substance and form, to provoke, challenge and confront its audience into
dialogue, while simultaneously asking questions about the limits of our own legal
imaginations.
