Abstract

In what has been referred to as the 'aesthetic turn' 1 in international law, scholars are increasingly looking to non-textual materials to analyse issues within the discipline.Different scholars now acknowledge that if we are to critically dissect the problems of international law, or even understand the extent to which it affects our lives, we must move beyond the official texts.One such material is music.
