"The very first book dedicated to Slavoj Zizek's theoretical treatment of law, this book gathers widely recognized Zizek scholars as well as legal theorists to offer a sustained analysis of the place of law in Zizek's work. Whether it is with reference to symbolic law, psychoanalytical law, religious law, positive law, human rights, to Lacan's, Hegel's, or Kant's philosophies of law, or even to Jewish or Buddhist law, Zizek returns again and again to law. And what his work offers, this volume demonstrates, is a radically new approach to law, and a rethinking of its role within the framework of radical politics. With the help of Zizek himself - who here, and for the first time, directly engages with the topic of law - this collection provides an authoritative account of 'Zizek and law'. It will be invaluable resource for researchers and students in the fields of law, legal theory, legal philosophy, political theory, psychoanalysis, theology, and cultural studies"--

Dieses Buch bietet keine "trockene" rechtstheoretische oder rechtsphilosophische Abhandlung, sondern ein bewegtes, die Theorie nicht scheuendes Nachdenken über "law in action". Indem Laurent de Sutter sich dem faszinierenden Genre des Polizeifilms zuwendet, greift er die kulturwissenschaftliche Forderung auf, bei der Suche nach der Wirklichkeit des Rechts seine symbolischen Repräsentationen nicht auszublenden, sondern sie als konstitutiven Bestandteil der sozialen Rechtsgeltung ernst zu nehmen. Die Suche nach dem gestalterischen Prinzip der Polizei, ihrer "poiesis", führt zur Erkenntnis, dass es verfehlt wäre, sie als reinen Garanten von "law and order" zu verstehen. Vielmehr wirkt sie häufig mit an der Suspension des Rechts wie an der Korruption ihrer eigenen Ordnung - Ausdruck einer eigenen Form der "Entdifferenzierungskultur", in der die Grenzen von Recht, Politik, Polizei und Ökonomie fliessend werden. Wenn die Rechtsanwendung strukturell immer Elemente der Gewalt und der Ungerechtigkeit in sich trägt, dann kann gerade die Polizei dieser Aporie nicht entgehen und muss sich in ihrem Handeln zwangsläufig in Widersprüche verwickeln. Es sind solche Formen der Grenzziehung und Entgrenzung, die der Autor in seinen Filmanalysen den popkulturellen Inszenierungen der Polizei abliest. So macht das Buch Lust, alte Filmklassiker mit anderen Augen zu sehen.

Aggregates and assesses Deleuze's claims about law, decision, judgement and related themes for the first timeDevelops a complete and self-sustaining Deleuzian philosophy of law where others have found only fragmentationExamines and uses various interdisciplinary connections, including law and literature, law and political theory, law and metaphysics, law and history of philosophy, and legal historyCritiques several approaches to the question of Deleuze's legal thoughtPromises to ignite debate and draw attention to the importance of legal theory for other fields, including social and political philosophyGilles Deleuze has provided the most fascinating account of law of the 20th century. Yet it is hidden in a just a few clues dispersed throughout his work and no complete reconstruction of it has ever been produced before. Laurent de Sutter gathers all the elements that compose Deleuze's philosophy of law and articulates them for the first time in a real system. The result is the most devastating critique of the very idea of law. But it is also surprising, praising the actual practice of jurisprudence. This is not simply a practice of judgment; it is a practice of radical creation and leads to an intriguing question: what if lawyers were the only true revolutionaries of our time?
