Thomas Giddens

On Comics and Legal Aesthetics

Multimodality and the Haunted Mask of Knowing

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Tapping into the recent 'turn' towards literary, cultural and visual concerns in legal studies, this book examines the critical value that comics can bring to law. Situated in-between the rational, textual, aesthetic and the visual, comics are, this book demonstrates, uniquely able to explore the limits of the legal text; and, in expanding legal discourse, to offer new ways of figuring the future of law.
