Legal Life Writing

Marginalized Subjects and Sources

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Legal Life-Writing provides the first sustained treatment of the implications of life-writing on legal biography, autobiography and the visual history of law in society through a focus on neglected sources, and on those usually marginalized or ignored in legal biography and legal history, such as women and minorities.

Draws on a range of sources and disciplinary approaches including legal history, life-writing, sociology, history, art history, feminism and post-colonialism, seeking to build a bridge-head between them
Challenges the methodologies employed in conventional accounts of legal lives
Aims to ignite debate about the nature of the relationship between socio-legal studies and legal history
Aims to enlarge the fields of legal biography, legal history, history and socio-legal studies, and to foster a closer and more inter-disciplinary dialogue between these disciplines
