The essays collected here under the governing signs, Law, Text,
Terror have their origins in a singular and topical desire. Their
motive is most immediately that of acknowledging the massive and
eccentric contribution of the philologist, psychoanalyst and
Romanist jurist Pierre Legendre to the study of legal institutions
and juridical practices. He has unceasingly asked the question 'why
law?' and in endeavouring to answer that question, in the course of
over twenty-five books published during the last forty years, he
has traversed a unique and uniquely idiosyncratic body of
disciplines and knowledges relevant to the symbolic forms and
institutional functions of the Western legal order.
These essays reflect that singularity of drive as well as that
diversity of scholarly interests by taking up, playing with,
varying and developing the themes of text and terror, law and
territory, that Legendre either introduced or made peculiarly his
own.
