"The anxiety of unfinalizability contributes to the judicialization of politics in the post–Cold War period (Comaroff and Comaroff 2007). For increasingly global activist movements and ideologies of transnational human rights, legal architecture creates a shared way to recognize signs of justice being done—however unsatisfyingly (Clarke 2009; Tate 2013; Merry 2016). Ideological investments in the fixity of legal documents are sites where the desire for finalizability is played out (Riles 2007; Hetherington 2011; Hull 2012). Because legal logics are fundamentally shot through with time, judicialized justice can be mapped along a linear trajectory: the possibility of a deferred and future moment of justice stretches endlessly into a mappable and knowable future (Valverde 2015; Greenberg 2017). The messiness of multidimensional action is scaled and squeezed to fit the chronotopic imaginaries of late liberalism. In this way, the temporalities of justice and law go hand in hand with the violence of abandonment (Povinelli 2011)''.
