Title: Cultural Legal Studies : Law's Popular Cultures and the Metamorphosis of Law
Description: What can law's popular cultures do for law, as a constitutive and interrogative critical practice? This collection explores such a question through the lens of the ‘cultural legal studies'movement, which proffers a new encounter with the ‘cultural turn'in law and legal theory. Moving beyond the ‘law ands'(literature, humanities, culture, film, visual and aesthetics) on which it is based, this book demonstrates how the techniques and practices of cultural legal studies can be used to metamorphose law and the legalities that underpin its popular imaginary. By drawing on three different modes of cultural legal studies – storytelling, technology and jurisprudence – the collection showcases the intersectional practices of cultural legal studies, and law in its popular cultural mode. The contributors to the collection deploy differentiated modes of cultural legal studies practice, adopting diverse philosophical, disciplinary, methodological and theoretical approaches and subjects of examination. The collection draws on this mix of diversity and homogeneity to thread together its overarching theme: that we must take seriously an interrogation of law as culture and in its cultural form. That is, it does not ask how a text ‘represents'law; but rather how the representational nature of both law and culture intersect so that the ‘juridical'become visible in various cultural manifestations. In short, it asks: how law's popular cultures actively effect the metamorphosis of law.
