The period since the First World War has been a century
distinguished by the loss of any unitary foundation for truth,
ethics, and the legitimate authority of law. With the emergence of
radical pluralism, law has become the site of extraordinary
creativity and, on occasion, a source of rights for those
historically excluded from its protection. A Cultural History of
Law in the Modern Age tells stories of human struggles in the face
of state authority - including Aboriginal land claims, popular
resistance to corporate power, and the inter-generational
ramifications of genocidal state violence. The essays address how,
and with what effects, different expressive modes (ceremonial
dance, live street theater, the acoustics of radio, the affective
range of film, to name a few) help to construct, memorialize, and
disseminate political and legal meaning. Drawing upon a wealth of
visual, textual and sound sources, A Cultural History of Law in the
Modern Age presents essays that examine key cultural case studies
of the period on the themes of justice, constitution, codes,
agreements, arguments, property and possession, wrongs, and the
legal profession.
