Description
A crucial question in the analysis of legal practices concerns the processes of identification with, in and as law—a question of how and by what route law achieves its ends. While it is conventional to interpret the practices of law through the institutional sources of the legal tradition, The Scene of Violence considers how law and legal practices figure in the cultural field; and, specifically, in film.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Austin Sarat, William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Jurisprudence and Political Science at Amherst College, praises Alison Young as possibly the top scholar in law and film. He highlights her profound insights, noting that her analysis of "the spectatorial relation engendered by film" will transform how readers perceive movies and the interplay of law and violence. He regards The Scene of Violence as an instant classic in the field.
