This volume examines the relationship between law and sacrifice as
a crucial nexus for theorizing the dynamics of creation,
destruction, transcendence, and violence within the philosophical
and legal discourse of western society. At a time of populist
political unrest, what philosophical and theoretical resources are
available for conceptualizing the discontent that seems to emanate
from practically every sphere of society? What narrative strategies
have been employed within literary, theological, philosophical, and
legal discourse to tame or mystify human violence? Engaging with
the work of preeminent theorists of sacrifice, such as Georges
Bataille, Rene Girard, Giorgio Agamben, and Jacques Derrida this
collection examines from an interdisciplinary perspective the
sacrificial logic that characterizes the cultural and political
dynamics of law in society. The book will be of interest to
students and scholars in the field of legal theory and philosophy.
