Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. DECONSTRUCTION; IDEOLOGY CRITIQUE; HISTORICAL CONTEXTUALISM; NARRATIVE; INTERSECTIONALITY; COUNTER-STORYTELLING; phenomenology of marginalised; commonly used in CLS, CRT, FLT, queer legal theory
1. CRITICAL LEGAL THEORY (encompassing CLS, CRT, FLT, queer legal theory, postcolonial) uses diverse methodologies:
2. (i) DECONSTRUCTION (Jacques Derrida) — exposing internal contradictions and oppositions in legal texts;
3. (ii) IDEOLOGY CRITIQUE — revealing hidden power assumptions and class biases;
4. (iii) HISTORICAL CONTEXTUALISM — tracing historical evolution of legal categories;
5. (iv) NARRATIVE / COUNTER-STORYTELLING — using individual stories to challenge dominant narratives (esp. in CRT);
6. (v) INTERSECTIONALITY (Kimberlé Crenshaw) — analysing overlapping systems of oppression;
7. (vi) PHENOMENOLOGY of marginalised experiences;
8. (vii) FEMINIST METHODS — asking 'the woman question' (Bartlett 1990); revising legal categories;
9. (viii) DOCTRINAL CRITIQUE — exposing contradictions in seemingly coherent doctrines.
10. Hence option B is correct.
