Envisioning Legality: Law, Culture and Representation is a
path-breaking collection of some of the world's leading cultural
legal scholars addressing issues of law, representation and the
image. Law is constituted in and through the representations that
hold us in their thrall, and this book focuses on the ways in which
cultural legal representations not only reflect or contribute to an
understanding of law, but constitute the very fabric of legality
itself. As such, each of these 'readings' of cultural texts takes
seriously the cultural as a mode of envisioning, constituting and
critiquing the law. And the theoretically sophisticated approaches
utilised here encompass more than simply an engagement with
'harmless entertainment'. Rather they enact and undertake specific
political and critical engagements with timely issues, such as: the
redressing of past wrongs; recognising and combatting structural
injustices; and orienting our political communities in relation to
uncertain futures. Envisioning Legality thereby presents a cultural
legal studies that provides the means for engaging in robust,
sustained and in-depth encounters with the nature and role of law
in a global, mediated world.
