The very first book dedicated to Slavoj Zizek's theoretical
treatment of law, this book gathers widely recognized Zizek
scholars as well as legal theorists to offer a sustained analysis
of the place of law in Zizek's work. Whether it is with reference
to symbolic law, psychoanalytical law, religious law, positive law,
human rights, to Lacan's, Hegel's, or Kant's philosophies of law,
or even to Jewish or Buddhist law, Zizek returns again and again to
law. And what his work offers, this volume demonstrates, is a
radically new approach to law, and a rethinking of its role within
the framework of radical politics. With the help of Zizek himself -
who here, and for the first time, directly engages with the topic
of law - this collection provides an authoritative account of
'Zizek and law'. It will be invaluable resource for researchers and
students in the fields of law, legal theory, legal philosophy,
political theory, psychoanalysis, theology, and cultural studies.
Althusser and Law is the first book specifically dedicated to
the place of law in Louis Althusser s philosophy. The growing
importance of Althusser s philosophy in contemporary debates on the
left has - for practical and political, as well theoretical reasons
- made a sustained consideration of his conception of law more
necessary than ever. As a form of what Althusser called Ideological
State Apparatuses, law is at the forefront of political struggles:
from the destruction of Labour Law to the exploitation of Patent
Law; from the privatisation of Public Law to the ongoing hegemony
of Commercial Law; and from the discourse on Human Rights to the
practice of judicial courts. Is Althusser still useful in helping
us to understand these struggles? Does he have something to teach
us about how law is produced, and how it is used and misused? This
collection demonstrates that Althusser s ideas about law are more
important, and more contemporary, than ever. Indeed, the
contributors to Althusser and Law argue that Althusser offers a new
and invaluable perspective on the place of law in contemporary
life."

The most radical philosophy of law of our time. Gilles Deleuze has
provided the most fascinating account of law of the twentieth
century. Yet it is hidden in a just a few clues dispersed
throughout his work and no complete reconstruction of it has ever
been produced. Laurent de Sutter gathers all the elements that
compose Deleuze's philosophy of law and articulates them for the
first time in a real system: the result is the most devastating
critique of the very idea of law. But it is also the most
surprising, praising the actual practice of jurisprudence. This is
not simply a practice of judgment, but a practice of radical
creation and leads to an intriguing question: what if lawyers were
the only true revolutionaries of our time?

Yet it is hidden in a just a few clues dispersed throughout his
work and no complete reconstruction of it has ever been produced
before. Laurent de Sutter gathers all the elements that compose

law, investigating new forms of politics, economics and society. It
explores the features of Deleuze's universal jurisprudence, the
mutual becoming of law and philosophy and reveals law as the most
progressive and experimental force of the Modern Age. This is the
first collective volume to address the legal aspect of Deleuze's
philosophy of law. It proposes a different way of practicing
philosophy and law. The contributors are from a range of
disciplinary backgrounds.
