History, Memory, and the Law
ISBN: 9780472088997 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The essays in this book examine law as an active participant in the process through which history is written and memory is constructed. Instead of seeing law as a "victim" of history, the writers treat law as an author of history, not just in the instrumental sense in which law can be said to make a difference in society, but in the ways that law constructs and uses history.
Law looks to the past as it speaks to present needs. In the production of judicial opinions--supposedly definitive statements of what the law is--judges reconstruct law's past, tracing out lines of legal precedent that...

ISBN: 9780691048451 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Law punishes violence, yet law depends on violence. In this book, a group of leading interdisciplinary legal scholars seeks to map the inexorable but unstable relationship of law to violence. What does it mean to talk about the violence of law?
