Quod non est in actis, non est in mundo. (What is not on file is not in the world.) Once files are reduced to the status of stylized icons on computer screens, the reign of paper files appears to be over. With the epoch of files coming to an end, we are free to examine its fundamental influence on Western institutions. From a media-theoretical point of view, subject, state, and law reveal themselves to be effects of specific record-keeping and filing practices. Files are not simply administrative tools; they mediate and process legal systems. The genealogy of the law described in Vismann's Files ranges from the work of the Roman magistrates to the concern over one's own file, as expressed in the context of the files kept by the East German State Security. The book concludes with a look at the computer architecture in which all the stacks, files, and registers that had already created order in medieval and early modern administrations make their reappearance.

Vad innebär det att rättens historia tycks sammanfalla med mediehistorien? Spelar det någon roll på vilket underlag lagens ord skrivs? Gör det skillnad om lagen skrivs i sten eller programvara, om lagen arkiveras på papper eller pergament? I Cornelia Vismanns stora studie om rättens mediehistoria är det de materiella underlagen och de tekniska operationerna som undersöks. Med utgångspunkt i Kafkas ångestridna meditationer över Lagen och Melvilles beskrivningar av det olyckliga advokatbiträdet Bartleby, utvecklar Vismann ett resonemang där lagen inte bara får sin mediehistoria skriven, utan där mediehistorien samtidigt visar sig vara beroende av rättsliga innovationer.Cornelia Vismann var verksam som advokat i Östberlin fram tills murens fall och kom som forskare att samarbeta nära med medieteoretikern Friedrich Kittler. Lagen och arkivet är en översättning av hennes doktorsavhandling från 2001. När hon avled i förtid 2010 hade den redan uppnått klassikerstatus inom tysk humaniora.
