Abstract

Imagining Legality: Where Law Meets Popular Culture is collection of essays on the relationship between law and popular culture that posits, in addition to the concepts of law in the books and law in action, a third concept of law in the image-that is, of law as it is perceived by the public through the lens of public media. Imagining Legality argues that images of law suggested by television and film are as numerous as they are various, and that they give rise to a potent and pervasive imaginative life of the law. The media's projections of the legal

Abstract

Both law and popular culture pervade our lives. Popular culture constructs our perceptions of law and changes the way that players in the legal system behave. Now in its second edition, Law and Popular Culture: A Course Book explores the interface between two subjects of enormous importance to everyone - law and popular culture. Each chapter takes a particular legally themed film or television show, such as Philadelphia, Dead Man Walking, or Law and Order, treating it as both a cultural text and a legal text. The new edition has been updated with new photos and includes greater emphasis on television than in the first edition because there are so many DVDs of older TV shows now available. Law and Popular Culture is written in an accessible and engaging style, without theoretical jargon, and can serve as a basic text for undergraduates or graduate courses and be taught by anyone who enjoys pop culture and is interested in law. An instructor?s manual is available on request from the publisher and author.

Abstract

"Que peut nous dire le cinéma du droit et de la bioéthique ? C'est l'objet de cet ouvrage qui se propose d'aborder différents thèmes de bioéthique à travers des films choisis par les auteurs pour ce qu'ils peuvent montrer de la manière de concevoir la libre disposition de soi. L'essor des biotechnologies et le progrès scientifique conjugués offrent des possibilités de plus en plus étendues et posent des questions nouvelles. Les choix face à ce qu'il est possible de faire relèvent de l'intime, mais concernent également le droit, car ils peuvent entraîner une modification de la société. Quelle décision individuelle et/ou collective doit-on prendre face au champ des possibles ? Quel doit être le rôle du droit face aux évolutions proposées ? C'est à travers le cinéma que juristes, philosophes, éthiciens, médecins examinent des thématiques bioéthiques. Cet ouvrage est l'occasion de présenter des questionnements et des argumentations éthiques, d'analyser les réponses juridiques apportées par les États concernant l'aide active à mourir, le don d'organes, les chimères homme/animal, l'intelligence artificielle, les modifications apportées à l'homme pour le réparer ou l'améliorer, etc. En croisant des films français ou étrangers avec la dimension juridique, éthique, philosophique ou médicale, il s'agira de mettre en perspective les spécificités, les évolutions et les enjeux du droit de la bioéthique pour le citoyen français du XXIe siècle."

Abstract

Ways of Remembering tells a story about the relationship between secular law and religious violence by studying the memorialisation of the 2002 Gujarat pogrom-postcolonial India's most litigated and mediatized event of anti-Muslim mass violence. By reading judgments and films on the pogrom through a novel interpretive framework, the book argues that the shared narrative of law and cinema engenders ways of remembering the pogrom in which the rationality of secular law offers a resolution to the irrationality of religious violence. In the public's collective memory, the force of this rationality simultaneously condemns and normalises violence against Muslims while exonerating secular law from its role in enabling the pogrom, thus keeping the violent (legal) order against India's Muslim citizens intact. The book contends that in foregrounding law's aesthetic dimensions we see the discursive ways in which secular law organizes violence and presents itself as the panacea for that very violence.

Abstract

Au détour d'une scène, au coeur de l'intrigue, grâce à leurs décors ou par quelques répliques, à l'écran, les films et les séries font parfois découvrir au spectateur ce qu'est le droit constitutionnel. Les fictions donnent à voir la Constitution ,et ses acteurs, aident à comprendre ses fonctions (l'organisation des pouvoirs publics, la protection des droits et des libertés, une dimension symbolique, etc.) et encouragent même à imaginer ce qu'elle pourrait être. Observer le droit constitutionnel représenté à l'écran invite alors à interroger autrement le phénomène juridique et la culture constitutionnelle. Pour explorer aussi, par la fiction, à travers le cinéma et les séries, un imaginaire : l'imaginaire constitutionnel

Abstract

This volume is a Nordic contribution to research on law and humanities. It treats the legal culture of the Nordic countries through intensive analyses of canonical Nordic artworks. Law and justice have always been important issues in Nordic literature, film and theater from the Icelandic sagas through Ludvig Holberg and Henrik Ibsen to Lars Noréns theatre and Lars von Trier's Dogme films of today. This book strives to answer two fundamental questions: Is there a special Nordic justice? And what does the legal and literary/aesthetic culture of the North mean for the concept of law and justice and for the understanding of the interdisciplinary exchange of law and humanities? The concept of law and literature as a research area was originally developed in countries of common law. This book investigates law and humanities from a different legal tradition, and contributes thus both to the discussion of the general and the comparative studies of law and humanities.

Abstract

Le droit dans la saga Jurassk ParkLe dinosaure est-il un animal en voie de disparition, et à ce titre protégé par le droit ? Au contraire, est-il une arme de guerre soumise au droit international ? La désextinction des dinosaures et la création de l'Indominus Rex sont-elles conformes au droit de la bioéthique ? Les dinosaures sont-ils des réfugiés climatiques ? Des créations protégées par le droit de la propriété intellectuelle ? Les conditions de travail des employés des parcs sont-elles conformes au droit social ? L'ONU n'aurait-elle pas dû intervenir face à la menace à la paix et à la sécurité internationales que constituent les dégâts causés par les dinosaures ? Qui est responsable des dégâts en question ?Et si la saga de Michael Crichton, complétée par la série La colo du Crétacé (Zach Stentz), était aussi un gigantesque parc d'attractions pour les juristes ?L'univers de Jurassic Park et de Jurassic Wolrd met en scène un monde dans lequel la science aurait ouvert une boîte de Pandore souvent fantasmée : la désextinction des dinosaures. Distinguant le juridiquement possible de la liberté scénaristique dans la saga, les auteurs du présent ouvrage parcourent, avec humour mais rigueur, les nombreuses questions que la saga soulève en droit interne français et en droit international. Face aux avancées scientifiques actuelles et futures, les contributeurs rappellent aussi l'importance de la régulation des activités humaines par le Droit.

Abstract

"China has an image as a realm of Oriental despotism where law is at best window-dressing and at worst an instrument of coercion and tyranny. The rule of law seems an elusive ideal in the face of entrenched obstacles baked, as it were, into China's cultural and political DNA. In this highly original contribution to the interdisciplinary field of law and humanities, Haiyan Lee contends that this image arises from an ahistorical understanding of China's political-legal tradition, particularly the failure to distinguish what she calls high justice and low justice. Lee argues that the liberal (and, so to speak, horizontal) conception of justice as fairness is quite different from the Chinese understanding of law. In the Chinese legal imagination, she shows, justice is a vertical concept, with low justice between individuals firmly subordinated to the high justice of the state. China's political-legal culture mistrusts law's ability to deliver justice and privileges moral over procedural justice. Lee shows that Chinese literature and film invariably dramatize the relationship between law and morality in ways that emphasize law's concession to moral sentiments and the triumph of moral justice through the discretion of a sagacious judge or the defiance of a vigilante hero. As China rises to global superpower status, its conception of justice can no longer be treated as a pale, floundering, and negligible sideshow to the legal drama of defending liberty and upholding human rights in the West. Lee's book helps us recognize the fight for justice outside the familiar arenas of liberal democracy and in terms other than those furnished by the rule of law"--
