The relationship between culture and the law has become an emergent
concern within contemporary Cultural Studies as a field, but the
recent focus has been largely limited to the role played by
cultural representations and identity politics in the legitimation
of legal discourse and policies. While continuing this emphasis,
this collection also looks at the law itself as a cultural
production, tracing some of the specific contours of its function
in the last three decades. It argues that, with the onset of
neoliberal or late capitalism, the law has taken on a new
specificity and power, leading to what we are calling the
'juridical turn', where the presumed legitimacy of the law makes
other forms of hegemonic struggle secondary. The collection not
only charts the law and cultural policy as they exert their
powerful-if often overlooked-influence on every aspect of society
and culture, but it also seeks to define this important field of
study and demonstrate the substantial role law plays in the
production of our social and cultural worlds. In this trailblazing
collection of contributions by leading and emerging figures in the
field of cultural legal studies, chapters examine various ways in
which this process is manifested, such as U.S. legislation and
Supreme Court Decisions on gay marriage, immigration, consumer
finance, welfare, copyright, and so-called victim's rights, along
with international comparisons from Europe and Latin America. It
promises to be a pathbreaking analysis of our
juridically-determined conjuncture. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Cultural Studies.
