Art, value, law - the links between these three terms mark a
history of struggle in the cultural scene. Studies of contemporary
culture have thus increasingly turned to the image as central to
the production of legitimacy, aesthetics and order. Judging the
Image extends the cultural turn in legal and criminological studies
by interrogating our responses to the image. This book provides a
space to think through problems of ethics, social authority and the
legal imagination. Concepts of memory and interpretation, violence
and aesthetic, authority and legitimacy are considered in a diverse
range of sites, including:
* body, performance and regulation
* judgment, censorship and controversial artworks
* graffiti and the aesthetics of public space
* HIV and the art of the disappearing body
* witnessing, ethics and the performance of suffering
* memorial images - art in the wake of disaster.
