This book brings the insights of theatre theory to law, legal
interpretation and the jurisprudential to reshape law as a practice
of response and responsibility. Confronting a Baconian
antitheatrical legality embedded in its jurisprudences and
interpretative practices, Marett Leiboff turns to theatre theory
and practice to ground a theatrical jurisprudence, taking its cues
from Han-Thies Lehmann's conception of the post-dramatic theatre
and the early work of theatre visionary Jerzy Grotowski. She asks
law to move beyond an imagined ideal grounded in Aristotelian drama
and tragedy, and turns to the formation of the legal interpreter
lawyer, judge, jurisprudent as fundamental to understanding what's
"noticed" or not noticed in law. We "notice" most easily through
that which is written into the body of the legal interpreter, in a
way that can't be replicated through law's standard practices of
thinking and reasoning. Without more, thinking and reasoning are
the epitome of antitheatricality legality; a set of theatrical
antonyms, including transgression and instinct, offer instead a set
of possibilities through which to reconceive assumptions and
foundational concepts etched into the legal imaginary. And by
turning to critical dramaturgy, the book reveals that the
liveliness that sits behind theatrical jurisprudence isn't a new
concept in law at all, but has a long pedigree and lineage that had
been lost and hidden. Theatrical jurisprudence, which demands an
awareness of self and beyond self, grounds a responsiveness that
can't be found within doctrine, principle, or the technocratic, but
also challenges us to notice what it is we think we know as well as
what we know of lives in law that aren't our own. The book will be
of interest to scholars and students in the field of jurisprudence,
legal theory, theatre and performance studies, cultural studies and
philosophy.
