Politics, Postmodernity and Critical Legal Studies - The Legality of the Contingent (Hardcover)

"Laws of Postmodernity" applies postmodern jurisprudence to the analysis of a number of areas of law. In analyzing the cultural significance of law, the editors show how critical jurisprudential analysis undermined attempts to support a normative viewpoint of the legal order. In addition, they criticize contextual, sociological accounts of legal phenomena in order to highlight the repression of psychoanalysis within. The contributors explore the blasphemy laws in the wake of the Salman Rushdie affair, and French critical legal theory, particularly the work of Pierre Legendre, jurisprudence. Through detailed discussion of rights, the law of evidence, copyright, authorship and metaphors of writing, it clearly illustrates the practical as well as the theoretical significance of postmodern jurisprudence.
