Beskrivning
In this original and thought-provoking Research Handbook, an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars, artists, lawyers, judges, and writers offer a range of perspectives on rethinking law by means of literary concepts. Presenting a comprehensive introduction to jurisliterary themes, it destabilises the traditional hierarchy that places law before literature and exposes the literary nature of the legal.Chapters explore multiple genres and modes, from travel reviews to graphic novels, from poetics to ghost-writing, from cartography to speculative fiction. Working with diverse methods and areas of inquiry, including enstrangement, colonial entanglements, blockchain narratives, transing and transgression of many kinds, matterphor, aesthetics and epistemology, this Research Handbook provides a systematic application of literary approaches to the reading of law.Scholars and students of jurisprudence, and those in the humanities with an interest in law and literature, will find this ground-breaking Research Handbook an indispensable guide. It also offers insight to international legal scholars looking for materialist accounts of law, as well as those interested in contemporary challenges to the rule of law.

Recensioner i media

'The Research Handbook on Law and Literature is a gloriously provocative and satisfyingly comprehensive compendium addressing the ethics of reading. Both law and literature distribute value, materialize universes of cognition, and deliver cultural sensibilities into the realm of the real. That linkage between legality and the fictive is philological at its core: a kaleidoscopic churning of words, symbols, whole languages and ontographies. The chapters in this volume examine that complexly authoritative word-power: the stony edifices of punition, sacrilege, privilege and existence are undressed for their ludic manipulations, artful rotations of viewpoint, elegant wordplay and profoundly poetic constructions. Each distinguished contributor to this Handbook shines extraordinary light upon the responsibilities of that world-making, revealing both law’s aesthetic sensorium, as well as literature’s governing appeal.’
