This book looks at the way in which the 'call for justice' is
portrayed through art and presents a wide range of texts from film
to theatre to essays and novels to interrogate the law. 'Calls for
justice' may have their positive connotations, but throughout
history most have caused annoyance. Art is very well suited to deal
with such annoyance, or to provoke it. This study shows how art
operates as an interface, here, between two spheres: the larger
realm of justice and the more specific system of law. This
interface has a double potential. It can make law and justice
affirm or productively disturb one another. Approaching issues of
injustice that are felt globally, eight chapters focus on original
works of art not dealt with before, including Milo Rau's The Congo
Tribunal, Elfriede Jelinek's Ulrike Maria Stuart, Valeria
Luiselli's Tell Me How It Ends and Nicolas Winding Refn's Only God
Forgives. They demonstrate how through art's interface, impasses
are addressed, new laws are made imaginable, the span of systems of
laws is explored, and the differences in what people consider to be
just are brought to light. The book considers the improvement of
law and justice to be a global struggle and, whilst the issues
dealt with are culture-specific, it argues that the logics
introduced are applicable everywhere.
