Abstract

Abstracts Increasingly preoccupied with the imaginative dimension of contemporary constitutionalism its theorists are yet to offer an analytically sophisticated, conceptually illuminating, and practically useful account of constitutional imagination – not as a historical phenomenon, but as an ongoing, professional activity. The aim of this essay is to contribute to this objective by exploring how theoretical definitions, observations, figurations, representations, narrations, justifications, and aspirations shape – and may yet to shape – our understandings of constitutionalism, constitution-making, constitutional authorship, constituent power, democratic decision-making, sovereign will, institutional hierarchy, legitimate authority, and the role of constitutional norms in political contestation around the world.
