Shakespearean Genealogies of Power proposes a new view on
Shakespeare's involvement with the legal sphere: as a visible space
between the spheres of politics and law and well able to negotiate
legal and political, even constitutional concerns, Shakespeare's
theatre opened up a new perspective on normativity. His plays
reflect, even create, "history" in a new sense on the premises of
the older conceptions of historical and legal exemplarity:
examples, cases, and instances are to be reflected rather than
treated as straightforwardly didactic or salvific. Thus, what comes
to be recognized, reflected and acknowledged has a disowning,
alienating effect, whose enduring aftermath rather than its
theatrical immediacy counts and remains effective. In Shakespeare,
the law gets hold of its normativity as the problematic efficacy of
unsolved -- or rarely ever completely solved -- problems: on the
stage of the theatre, the law has to cope with a mortgage of
history rather than with its own success story. The exemplary
interplay of critical cultural and legal theory in the
twentieth-century -- between Carl Schmitt and Hans Kelsen, Walter
Benjamin and Ernst Kantorowicz, Hans Blumenberg and Giorgio
Agamben, Robert Cover and Niklas Luhmann -- found in Shakespeare's
plays its speculative instruments.
