Tort law, a fundamental building block of every legal system,
features prominently in mass culture and political debates. As this
pioneering anthology reveals, tort law is not simply a collection
of legal rules and procedures, but a set of cultural responses to
the broader problems of risk, injury, assignment of responsibility,
compensation, valuation, and obligation.
Examining tort law as a cultural phenomenon and a form of cultural
practice, this work makes explicit comparisons of tort law across
space and time, looking at the United States, Europe, and Asia in
the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries. It draws on
theories and methods from law, sociology, political science, and
anthropology to offer a truly interdisciplinary, pathbreaking view.
Ultimately, tort law, the authors show, nests within a larger web
of relationships and shared discursive conventions that organize
social life.
