Cultural Studies and the 'Juridical Turn'

Culture, law, and legitimacy in the era of neoliberal capitalism

Herausgeber: Aksikas, Jaafar; Andrews, Sean

Beschreibung

From finance, housing, welfare, and immigration policies to copyright, gay marriage and the criminal justice system, few cultural forces so fundamentally determine our everyday lives as the law. This collection not only charts the law as it exerts its influence on our society and culture, but it also seeks to define this important field of study and demonstrate the substantial role law plays in the production of our social and cultural worlds. It examines the mechanisms through which the law functions, how this has changed, especially in U.S. culture, since the 1970s, and what this means for Cultural Studies theory and practice. This book was published as a special issue of Cultural Studies.
