Law and aesthetics
Adam Gearey
"Law and Aesthetics draws on the work of poets as well as philosophers. Taking as its starting point Shelleys assertion that poets are unacknowledged legislators,the book suggests that there is a way of thinking that, as yet, has not been taken up by those who make use of literary aesthetics to understand law. The book tracks this aesthetic thinking through the failures of critical legal studies and stages an encounter with psychoanalysis, before suggesting that an aesthetics of law can be exhumed from Nietzsches work. The aesthetic is a call to the creative: fashion new law. A review of contemporary legal theory that makes use of aesthetic perspectives suggests that dissident and radical Nietzschean energies continue to animate legal thought. In the final chapter, an aesthetics of law is shown to make for an interruption of legal categories, and the generation of new legal relationships. The book concludes with a further meditation on Shelleys poetry, and a call to continue in the spirit of aesthetic reinvention."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
Der im Gehen erkundete Weg
Frigga Haug
Um aus der Geschichte zu lernen, erfahrungsgeladene Theorien zu ergreifen und dabei die Bodenhaftung, die Verbindung zum gelebten Leben zu behalten, gilt es, die Widersprüche nicht zu fürchten, sondern im Gegenteil aufzuspüren und fruchtbar zu machen. Das Ermitteln des persönlichen Anteils an der Gesellschaft ist ein Schritt in diese Richtung. Herrschaft und Unterdrückung reproduzieren sich als Verstrickung, als Geflecht aus Kompetenz und Unterworfenheit, Widerstand und Zustimmung. Nur mit der Bereitschaft, die scheinbare Sicherheit gewohnter Denkschemata infrage zu stellen, lässt sich marxistische Gesellschaftsanalyse für demokratischen Aufbruch einsetzen. Dieses Buch erzählt die Bildungsgeschichte eines Begriffs und zugleich die einer feministischen Marxistin: In der Erkundung eigener Praxen und Gewissheiten zeigt Frigga Haug Forschung als einen nicht nur Gesellschaft durchleuchtenden, sondern auch autobiographischen Prozess. Marxismus-Feminismus ist ein im Gehen erkundeter Weg. (Quelle: Argument Verlag)
