The body of the law is an ambiguous phrase. Conventionally, it
designates the law as a determinate corpus; legal codes, statutes,
and the rulings of common law. But it can also refer to the
subjected body that is produced by and is part of the law. This
subjected body is necessary for the law's existence.
Thinking Through the Body of the Law reconceives the role of the
body in the founding, maintaining, and regulation of our legal
systems and social order and elaborates on its implications for
issues of legal responsibility and justice. Taking into account and
sometimes challenging the tenets of critical legal theory, critical
race theory, and feminist jurisprudence, these essays examine the
body and the law as they relate to surrogacy, the Holocaust,
land-rights for Aboriginals, murder, the media and insanity,
taxation, genetic engineering, and sexy dressing and sexual
harassment.
