More About This Textbook
Overview
This volume of Studies in Law, Politics, and Society features a symposium on law and film as well as two articles of general interest. It brings together the work of scholars from several disciplines, work which usefully illuminates central questions in the operation of Law and legal systems. The articles published here exemplify the exciting and innovative work now being done in interdisciplinary legal scholarship.
This volume of Studies in Law, Politics, and Society presents a diverse array of articles by an interdisciplinary group of scholars. Their work spans the social sciences, humanities, and the law. Those scholars examine the nature of family and the intersection of family and law, the way contexts shape legal actors, and the nature of rights and resistance. The articles published here exemplify the exciting and innovative work now being done in interdisciplinary legal scholarship.
Editorial Reviews
Booknews
Academics from the fields of law, political science, sociology, and English contribute nine articles exploring the law's interaction with civil society. The articles have been organized by Sarat (law and political science, Amherst College) and Ewick (sociology, Clark U.) into four sections related to: the status of the legal family, punishment, national sovereignty, and theory. Specific topics treated include the politics of same-sex marriage, the legal rhetorical strategies of the notion of "civil" versus "savage," the detection of remorse in relation to sentencing, and the strategies of democratizing forces in Mexico in the past decade.
