Taking natural disaster as the political and legal norm is
uncommon. Taking a person who has become unstable and irrational
during a disaster as the starting point for legal analysis is
equally uncommon. Nonetheless, in "Law in Crisis" Ruth Miller makes
the unsettling case that the law demands an ecstatic subject and
that natural disaster is the endpoint to law. Developing an
idiosyncratic but compelling new theory of legal and political
existence, Miller challenges existing arguments that, whether
valedictory or critical, have posited the rational, bounded self as
the normative subject of law.
By bringing a distinctive, accessible reading of contemporary
political philosophy to bear on source material in several European
and Middle Eastern languages, Miller constructs a cogent analysis
of natural disaster and its role in modern subject formation. In
the process, she opens up exciting new lines of inquiry in the
fields of law, politics, and gender studies. "Law in Crisis"
represents a promising new development in the interdisciplinary
study of law.
