as promised, here's a reading list in the broad category of critical constitutional law.

this one is on constitutional argument - which are taught to us as modalities for establishing the truth of a constitutional proposition. this gels well with a judicial supremacy-lens of constitutionalism.

this reading list explores constitutional argument as geared to meaning-making and persuasion. this mode of constitutional argument would be apt for a popular constitutionalism.

@malavika surprised to find Austin, despite a lot of reliance by the court missing in the study of context. Overrated ? Any specific reasons?

@amlanmishra the idea is to study the histories that win out and the histories that lose out, when we think of constitutional history. Austin was a dominant part of the former. Aravind Elangovan’s piece is the discussion piece from which Austin gets critiqued.
