Deleuze and Law. Forensic Futures

Co-edited with Claire Colebrook and Patrick Hanafin. Drawing upon and extending the theoretical insights of Deleuze, Foucault and Agamben, this volume considers the concept of life as it operates in law, politics and contemporary culture. It focuses on key legal cases (such as the Terri Schiavo case in the US), political events (such as the post 9/11 internment camp) and new cultural phenomena. Differential Jurisprudence: Focuses on real, material bodies rather than abstract legal subjects. Bio-power and Life: Explores how law defines the threshold between life, death, and bare existence. Vitalist Approach: Gives primacy to the living organism over rigid legal symbols.
