Abstract
Kraken theory aims at showing that legal theory and practice are not built as a single block, but are more a kind of tentacular movement of positionality and legal powers, offering competing theoretical and practical angles from which Kraken and Octopus can choose their distinctive moves to act for and/or against #MeToo. It shows how these varieties of rumors are distributed in #MeToo, when they may scrutinize their next strategic moves (be it at the surface or for purposes of defamation), and why the mechanism of distinctiveness inherent in this hashtag is explored within the spatio-temporal perspectives of U.S.A. and France.
