Human Rights after Corporate Personhood offers a rich overview of
current debates, and seeks to transcend the "outrage response"
often found in public discourse and corporate legal theory. Through
original and innovative analyses, the volume offers an alternative
account of corporate juridical personality and its relation to the
human, one that departs from accounts offered by public law. In
addition, it explores opportunities for the application of legal
personality to assist progressive projects, including, but not
limited to, environmental justice, animal rights, and Indigenous
land claims. Presented accessibly for the benefit of non-specialist
readers, the volume offers original arguments and draws on eclectic
sources, from law and poetry to fiction and film. At the same time,
it is firmly grounded in legal scholarship and, thus, serves as an
essential reference for scholars, students, lawmakers, and anyone
seeking a better understanding of the interface between
corporations and the law in the twenty-first century.
Copyright and intellectual property issues are intricately woven
into any written work, but the precise nature of this relationship
has plagued authors, printers, and booksellers for centuries. What
does it mean to own the products of our intellectual labors in our
own time? And what was the meaning three centuries ago, when
copyright laws were first put into place? Jody Greene argues that
while "owning" one's book is critical to the development of modern
notions of authorship, studies of authorial property rights have in
fact lost sight of the most critical valence of owning in early
modern England: that is, owning up to or taking responsibility for
one's work. Greene puts forth what she calls a "paranoid theory of
copyright," under which literary property rights are a means of
state regulation to assign responsibility for printed works, to
identify one person who will step forward and claim the work in
exchange for the right to reap the benefits of the literary
marketplace. Blending research from legal, historical, and literary
archives and drawing on the troubled authorial careers of figures
such as Roger L'Estrange, Elizabeth Cellier, Daniel Defoe, John
Gay, and Alexander Pope, The Trouble with Ownership looks to the
literary culture of early modern England to reveal the intimate
relationship between proprietary authorship and authorial
liability.
