Recenzje

To make authority requires being seen as having the capacity to call the disobedient to account. As Julie Stone Peters brilliantly excavates in her analysis of the 'performance of law' in literary and legal accounts, the audience regularly took center stage. This volume is a treasure trove of ideas and images illuminating the interwoven fabric of courts and theater, as both genres are dependent on spectatorship for their vitality.
