This comprehensive Research Handbook explores the wide variety of
work conducted in legal semiotics, providing a thorough
understanding of how the law works through signs and symbols.
Demonstrating that the law is a strategical system of fluctuating
signs, contributors critically analyse the ever-evolving
conceptualisations of law and legal discourse. Bringing together
leading international experts, this Research Handbook focuses on
the material, everyday forms of law comprised by non-verbal legal
semiotics. Contributors conduct culturally nuanced semiotic
analyses of the modern world, covering topics from COVID-19,
religion, and human rights, to comic books and music. Chapters
consider the foundations of semiotics, as well as the philosophy of
law, identifying the cross-cultural similarities in how legal
semiotics and visual legal semiotics intersect. Ultimately, the
Research Handbook demonstrates that the law is in a state of
perpetual flux, with many unique dimensions only made visible by
semiotic analysis. The Research Handbook on Legal Semiotics will be
an invaluable resource for students and scholars of law,
jurisprudence, legal culture, linguistics, and semiotics. It will
also be an important guide for legal practitioners seeking to
better understand the nuances of the legal system. >
This book examines the paved road as a liminal space and legal
frontier for enlivened, everyday struggles over property, power,
and place/definition. This book explores paved medium of asphalt as
a complex surface for legality that constitutively frames order
against disorder involving jurisdiction tensions, property
ownership, and cultural identities in vehicular environments. Will
be of interest to students and scholars.
This book addresses the legal-geographical implications of the fact
that landscapes are not static, but dynamic. Within the field of
legal geography, the spatial relationship of law to landscape is
usually considered to be static. Environments are often considered
fixed, and consequently inert, as places that literally don't go
anywhere. Typically, then, it is what happens in these places,
rather than the place itself, that commands academic attention. In
contrast to this static viewpoint, Law and the Kinetic Environment
considers how many landscapes are in flux and, as a result, may be
seen as dynamic. Natural phenomena, such as oozing lava, moving
glaciers, or bubbling geothermal pools, challenge and test the
normative conceptualizations of stability of place, property
ownership, and legal regulation. Consequently, such dynamic
landscapes enliven and transform law, offering new jurisprudential
insights into what law is and how it operates in response to the
kineticism that, this book argues is, to some degree, inherent in
all landscapes. This original engagement with legal geography will
appeal to those with general interests in this area, as well as
specific concerns with questions of law and place, property and the
environment.
There is more to parking law than just parking penalties.
Considering the ways in which law works in everyday life, and in
familiar places of common experience where the presence of law is
not obvious, this book explores the various notions of the right to
park, which jurisprudentially is enacted between individuals in
everyday parking. From parking areas to the courtroom, parking
engenders disputes over equality, speech, legitimacy, and
entitlement that reach beyond the stated scope of policy. Looking
beyond the obvious, this book examines the contested site of the
parking space as a place of socio-legal meaning where property
claims and rights shape identities. Adopting a constitutive
approach to the study of law, the book examines how regulation of
parking policy is at odds with the force of localised politics,
producing competing notions of legality and examples of legal
semiotics within the terrain of legal geography.
Synesthesia is the phenomenon where sensual perceptions are joined
together as a combined experience - that is, the ability to feel
color, hear the visual, or even smell emotion. These types of
unions expand the normativity of our legal thinking, as the
abilities to represent the tethering of emotion, place, and concept
to law are magnified. In this way, interpretations of law and legal
phenomena that are enriched with embodied meaning contribute to our
understanding of how law works - namely through sensory input,
sensory output, and the attachment that happens within these
sensory unions. This edited volume explores the richly complex
manifestations of synesthesia and law drawing from a plurality of
approaches, including legal studies, philosophy, social science,
linguistics, history, cultural studies, and the humanities.
Contributions in the volume discuss how we
feel/taste/smell/see/hear law within the synesthetic scope of legal
interpretation, legal consciousness, and legal culture. The
collection examines aspects of embodiment, place, and presence that
constitutively frame law amidst social, cultural, and historical
contexts.
In the routine spectrum of our lives, we inhabit the public sphere.
Whether in the street, the shopping center, or on the bus, we
engage with the empowered, the disempowered, the omitted, and the
powerful. Within the public sphere, the notion of public involves a
complexity of approaches to aspects of everyday practices of power,
performance, and place. Through these approaches, that which is
public can be visualized, experienced, and contested in the
construction, ceremony, and design of buildings, institutions, and
daily activities. In a variety of ways, the conceptualization and
contextualization of the public contributes to identity formations,
narratives of community, and manifestations of the political that
materially and discursively transpire within the public sphere in
the perceptions of inequality, metaphors for knowledge, and
critiques of consciousness. For this volume focused on interpretive
methods and methodologies that address the concept of public, we
present a lively engagement with methodological insight into the
political digestion of the public sphere. We delve into models of
and approaches to conducting research, the analysis of findings,
and the reaffirmation of enhanced techniques of related inquiry in
public spaces. We seek to explore the following questions: What is
the public? How do we visualize/understand/experience the public?
What are the ways in which these insights connect to articulations
of citizenship and democracy? How is the public implicated in the
political? The chapters originally published as a special issue in
Space and Polity.

On behalf of Professor Hugh Brady, Director and Senior Fellow, The
Flag Research Center at the University of Texas School of Law,
"Flags, Color, and the Legal Narrative: Public Memory, Identity,
and Critique (Springer 2021) has been selected as the recipient of
our Gherardi Davis Prize is presented for a significant
contribution to vexillological research for the year 2021. This
work was selected because of its breadth and depth in examining
flags as meaningful transmitters of significant symbolic
information concerning the origins, culture, self-image, and values
of a society. We believe it represents a signal achievement in the
study of flags that sets a new standard for research in the field."
The Flag Research Center, founded in 1962, is dedicated to
furthering knowledge and advancing understanding of the human need
to create and use symbols to express political, cultural, and
social ideals through flags and flag-related material culture. The
book deals with the identification of "identity" based on
culturally specific color codes and images that conceal assumptions
about members of a people comprising a nation, or a people within a
nation. Flags narrate constructions of belonging that become
tethered to negotiations for power and resistance over time and
throughout a people's history. Bennet (2005) defines identity as
"the imagined sameness of a person or social group at all times and
in all circumstances". While such likeness may be imagined or even
perpetuated, the idea of sameness may be socially, politically,
culturally, and historically contested to reveal competing pasts
and presents. Visually evocative and ideologically representative,
flags are recognized symbols fusing color with meaning that
prescribe a story of unity. Yet, through semiotic confrontation,
there may be different paths leading to different truths and
applications of significance. Knowing this and their function, the
book investigates these transmitted values over time and space.
Indeed, flags may have evolved in key historical periods, but
contemporaneously transpire in a variety of ways. The book
investigates these transmitted values: Which values are being
transmitted? Have their colors evolved through space and time? Is
there a shift in cultural and/or collective meaning from one space
to another? What are their sources? What is the relationship
between law and flags in their visual representations? What is the
shared collective and/or cultural memory beyond this visual
representation? Considering the complexity and diversity in the
building of a common memory with flags, the book interrogates the
complex color-coded sign system of particular flags and their
meanings attentive to a complex configuration of historical, social
and cultural conditions that shift over time. Advance Praise for
Flags, Color, and the Legal Narrative "In an epoch of
fragmentation, isolation and resurgent nationalism, the flag is
waved but often forgotten. The flag, its colors, narratives, shape
and denotations go without saying. The red flag over China, the
Star-Spangled Banner, the Tricolore are instantly recognisable and
over determined, representing a people, a nation, a culture,
languages, legacies, leaders. In this fabulous volume flags are
revealed as concentrated, complex, chromatic assemblages of people,
place and power in and through time. It is in bringing a multifocal
awareness of the modes and meanings of flag and color in public
representations that is particular strength. Editors Anne Wagner
and Sarah Marusek have gathered critical thinkers from the North
and South, East and West, to help know the essential and central -
yet often forgotten and not seen - work of flags and color in
narratives of nation, conflict, struggle and law. A kaleidoscopic
contribution to the burgeoning field of visual jurisprudence, this
volume is essential to comprehending the ocular machinery through
which power makes, and is seen to make, the world."Kieran Tranter,
Chair of Law, Technology and Future, Faculty of Law, Queensland
University of Technology, Australia "This comprehensive volume of
essays could not be arriving at a more opportune time. The combined
forces of climate change, inequality, and pandemic are causing
instability and painful recognitions of our collective
uncertainties about nationhood and globalism. In the United States,
where I am writing these few lines, our traditional red/white/blue
flag has been collapsed into two colors: Red and Blue. While these
colors have semiotically deep texts, the division of the country
into these two colors began with television stations designing how
to report the vote count in the 2000 presidential election year
creating "red" and "blue" parties and states. The colors stuck and
have become customary. We Americans are told all the time by
pundits that we are a deeply divided nation, as proven by unsubtle
colored maps. To a statistician, we are a Purple America, though
the color is unequally distributed. White, the color of negotiation
and peace is rarely to be found. To begin to approach understanding
the problems flagged in my brief account requires the insight of
multiple disciplines. That is what Wagner and Marusek, wonderful
scholars in their own work, have assembled as editors -- a
conversation among scholars at the forefront of thinking about how
flags and colors represent those who claim them thus exemplifying
how to resist simple explanations and pat answers. The topic is
just too important."Christina Spiesel, Senior Research Scholar in
Law, Yale Law School; Adjunct Professsor of Law, Quinnipiac
University School of Law, USA "Visuals, such as symbols and images,
in addition to conventional textual forms, seem to have a unique
potential for the study of a collective identity of a community and
its traditions, as well as its narratives, and at the same time, in
the expression of one's ideas, impressions, and ideologies in a
specific socio-political space. Visual analysis thus has become a
well-established domain of investigations focusing on how various
forms of text-external semiotic resources, such as culturally
specific symbols, including patterns and colors, make it possible
for scholars to account for and thus demystify discursive symbols
in a wider social and public space. Flags, Identity, Memory:
Critiquing the Public Narrative through Colors, as an international
and interdisciplinary volume, is a unique attempt to demystify the
thinking, values, assumptions and ideologies of specific nations
and their communities by analyzing their choice of specific
patterns and colors represented in a national flag. It offers a
comprehensive and insightful range of studies of visual and hidden
discursive processes to understand social narratives through
patterns of colours in the choice of national flags and in turn to
understand their semiotic, philosophical, and legal cultures and
traditions. Wagner and Marusek provide an exclusive opportunity to
reflect on the functions, roles, and limits of visual and
discursive representations. This volume will be a uniquely
resourceful addition to the study of semiotics of colours and
flags, in particular, how nations and communities represent their
relationship between ideology and pragmatism in the repository of
identity, knowledge and history."Vijay K Bhatia, Chinese University
of Hong Kong, Full Professor, Hong Kong "In all societies, colors
play a critical function in the realm of symbolism. Nation
societies perceive great significance in the colors of flags and
national emblems. Colors constitute, in other words, sign systems
of national identity. The relation of color codes and their
relation to concepts of nationhood and its related narratives is
the theme of this marvelous and eye-opening collection of studies.
Flags are mini-texts on the inherent values and core concepts that
a nation espouses and for this reason the colors that they bear can
be read at many levels, from the purely representational to the
inherently cultural. Written by experts in various fields this
interdisciplinary anthology will be of interest to anyone in the
humanities, social sciences, jurisprudence, narratology, political
science, and semiotics. It will show how a seemingly decorative
aspect of nationhood-the colors on flags-tells a much deeper story
about the human condition."Marcel Danesi, University of Toronto,

This book examines how the nation - and its (fundamental) law - are
'sensed' by way of various aesthetic forms from the age of
revolution up until our age of contested democratic legitimacy.
Contemporary democratic legitimacy is tied, among other things, to
consent, to representation, to the identity of ruler and ruled,
and, of course, to legality and the legal forms through which
democracy is structured. This book expands the ways in which we can
understand and appreciate democratic legitimacy. If (democratic)
communities are "imagined" this book suggests that their
"rightfulness" must be "sensed" - analogously to the need for
justice not only to be done, but to be seen to be done. This book
brings together legal, historical and philosophical perspectives on
the representation and iconography of the nation in the European,
North American and Australian contexts from contributors in law,
political science, history, art history and philosophy.

In the routine spectrum of our lives, we inhabit the public sphere.
Whether in the street, the shopping center, or on the bus, we
engage with the empowered, the disempowered, the omitted, and the
powerful. Within the public sphere, the notion of public involves a
complexity of approaches to aspects of everyday practices of power,
performance, and place. Through these approaches, that which is
public can be visualized, experienced, and contested in the
construction, ceremony, and design of buildings, institutions, and
daily activities. In a variety of ways, the conceptualization and
contextualization of the public contributes to identity formations,
narratives of community, and manifestations of the political that
materially and discursively transpire within the public sphere in
the perceptions of inequality, metaphors for knowledge, and
critiques of consciousness. For this volume focused on interpretive
methods and methodologies that address the concept of public, we
present a lively engagement with methodological insight into the
political digestion of the public sphere. We delve into models of
and approaches to conducting research, the analysis of findings,
and the reaffirmation of enhanced techniques of related inquiry in
public spaces. We seek to explore the following questions: What is
the public? How do we visualize/understand/experience the public?
What are the ways in which these insights connect to articulations
of citizenship and democracy? How is the public implicated in the
political? The chapters originally published as a special issue in

What kind of decolonial possibilities exist in today's world?
Exploring the rise of Islamic activism in Lebanon and the Middle
East, and drawing transnational parallels with other revolutionary
religious struggles in Latin America and South Africa, Sarah
Marusek offers a timely analysis of the social and political
evolution of Islamic movements. The growing popularity of Islamic
movements means that many groups, which emerged in opposition to
Western imperialism, are now also gaining increasing economic and
political powers. Based on more than two and a half years of
ethnographic fieldwork in Lebanon, Marusek paints a picture of how
resistance is lived and reproduced in daily lives, tracing the
evolution of the ideas and practices of the charities affiliated
with Hizbullah and the wider Islamic resistance movement. Adopting
a dialectical approach, Faith and Resistance discusses the
possibility for resistance groups to reconcile acquiring power with
their decolonial aspirations. In doing so, the book acts as a guide
for liberation struggles and those engaged in resistance the world
over.

Street-Level Sovereignty: The Intersection of Space and Law is a
collection of scholarship that considers the experience of law that
is subject to social interpretation for its meaning and importance
within the constitutive legal framework of race, deviance,
property, and the communal investiture in health and happiness.
This book examines the intersection of spatiality and law, through
the construction of place, and how law is materially framed.
