Tracing its roots to nineteenth-century pronouncements on the 'law of nations,' the discipline took shape in the elaborate treaty structures of the post-First World War era and in the institutions and tribunals established after the Second World War. International law as scholars know and study it today is a product of modernism.In The Aesthetics of International Law, Ed Morgan engages in a literary parsing of international legal texts. In order to demonstrate how these types of legal narratives are imbued with modernist aesthetics, Morgan juxtaposes international legal documents and modern (as well as some immediately pre- and post-modern) literary texts. He demonstrates how the same intellectual currents that flow through the works of authors ranging from Edgar Allan Poe to James Joyce to Vladimir Nabokov are also present in legal doctrines ranging from the law of war to international commercial disputes to human rights.By providing a comparative, interdisciplinary account of this modern phenomenon, Morgan's work highlights the ways judges, lawyers, and state representatives artfully exploit the narratives of international law. It demonstrates that just as modernist literature developed complex narrative techniques as a way of dealing with the human condition, modern international law has developed parallel argumentative techniques as a way of dealing with international political conditions.Law and aestheticsInternational lawLanguageLawLanguageLaw and literatureElectronic books.Law and aesthetics.International lawLanguage.LawLanguage.Law and literature.340.11Morgan Edward M.1955-946816MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454941903321The aesthetics of international law2139092UNINA04240nam 22006735 450 991074697010332120251009082151.09783031352010303135201710.1007/978-3-031-35201-0(MiAaPQ)EBC30773635(CKB)28464923100041(Au-PeEL)EBL30773635(DE-He213)978-3-031-35201-0(EXLCZ)992846492310004120231005d2023 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierComparative Modernism and Poetics of Time Bergson, Tanpinar, Benjamin, Walser /by Özen Nergis Dolcerocca1st ed. 2023.Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2023.1 online resource (226 pages)New Comparisons in World Literature,2634-61099783031352003 Chapter 1 -- Introduction -- Part I: Philosophy of Time -- Chapter 2- Bergson, The Politics of Time and Modernity -- Part II: Chronometrics in the Modern Capital: the City, the Past and Collective Memory -- Chapter 3 - Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar’s Istanbul -- Chapter 4- Chronometrics in the Modern Capital: Walter Benjamin’s Fairytale -- Part III: The Literary Clock and Chronophobia -- Chapter 5 - Chronostasis: Temporal Disorders and the Critique of Managed Existence in The Time Regulation Institute -- Chapter 6- The Clockwork Language: Temporal and Linguistic Modernity in Robert Walser’s The Assistant -- Chapter 7- Conclusion.This book explores the conceptualization of time in early twentieth-century literature and thought, based on a transnational and translational model of literary history, focusing on Turkish, French and German literary traditions. Each from different cultural backgrounds, these modernists provide a radical critique of modern time regimes, which calibrate time in singular temporal narratives. The book traces the philosophical strand of this critical chronometry from Henri Bergson’s theory of time, through Walter Benjamin’s ambivalence towards decay of tradition, and finally to A.H. Tanpınar and Robert Walser’s modernist fiction. Negotiating regionally marked concepts and topoi of temporality, it discusses networks of cultural circulations and maps a revised intersection of Turkish and Western European literary histories. It is an essential read for scholars and students of comparative and world literature, modernist studies, and cultural history.
