It has become increasingly difficult to speak or even think social
or legal justice in an age when words have left their moorings.
Perhaps images are more stable than words; maybe images and imagery
possess a certain viscosity,even a sensory quality, which prevents
them from evaporating. This 'maybe' is what this book is about. The
contributors to this collection explore the issue of how the
Imaginary (images, imagery, imagination) has a role in the
production and reproduction of 'visions' of legal and social
justice. It argues that 'visions' of justice are inevitably
bounded. Boundaries of 'visions' of justice, however, are also
'imaginary'. They emerge within imaginary spaces, and, as they are
'imaginary', they are inherently unstable. The book captures an
emerging interest (in the humanities and social sciences) in images
and the visual, or the Imaginary more broadly. This collection will
appeal to scholars and students of social and legal theory, visual
culture, justice and governance studies, media studies, and
criminology.
