A Theological Jurisprudence of Speculative Cinema - Superheroes, Science Fictions and Fantasies of Modern Law (Hardcover)

Through close readings of a range of popular Hollywood speculative
fiction films Shyamalan's Unbreakable, Snyder's Man of Steel,
Lucas's and Disney's Star Wars, Nolan's The Dark Knight & The
Dark Knight Rises, Proyas' I, Robot, Nolfi's The Adjustment Bureau
and Jackson's The Hobbit Timothy Peters explores how fictional
worlds, particularly those that 'make strange' the world of the
viewer, can render visible and make explicit the otherwise opaque
theologies of modern law. He illustrates that speculative cinema's
genres of estrangement provide a way for us to see and engage the
theological concepts of modern law in our era of late capitalism,
global empire and the crises of neoliberalism.
