Semiotics and Legal Theory

by Bernard S. Jackson
Semiotics and Legal Theory - Thryft
Semiotics and Legal Theory - Thryft

Signify law: Compare, critique and construct.

Semiotics and Legal Theory is an insightful read for those interested in understanding and comparing two intellectual traditions - structuralist semiotics and modern legal theory. The book provides an abstract at the start of each chapter, making it easy for readers from both disciplines to access. Bernard S. Jackson's juxtaposition of these two traditions provides a foundation for a semiotically sensitive theory of law, making this book a must-read for both jurists and semioticians.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Semiotics and Legal Theory is an exercise in exposition, comparison, criticism, and construction. Jackson takes two very different intellectual traditions - structuralist semiotics as represented by A.J. Greimas and modern (mainly positivist) legal theory as represented by Hart, MacCormick, Dworkin, and Kelsen¡Xand by juxtaposing them seeks to clarify and assess their respective semiotic presuppositions, in order to lay some foundations for a semiotically sensitive theory of law. This book is designed for both jurists and semioticians. To facilitate access across the disciplinary divide, Jackson provides an abstract at the head of each chapter, which serves as both a summary and a conclusion to each section.
