At the center of our belief in law is the hope and expectation that law can differentiate the guilty from the innocent. But as the articles in this volume show law's relationship to guilt is more complex and vexed than that. Law constitutes us as guilty subjects and law itself is a guilty subject. The articles in this volume explore law's guilt about literature, various domains in which bodies of guilt appear, and historical perspectives on the subject of guilt. Taken together they exemplify the way interdisciplinary scholarship opens up new questions and new avenues of inquiry about the social and cultural life of law.Studies in law, politics, and society ;v. 36.LawGeneralbisacshSocial ScienceSociologyGeneralbisacshJurisprudence & general issuesbicsscSociology & anthropologybicsscGuilt (Law)GuiltReligious aspectsGuiltGuilt in literatureLawGeneral.Social ScienceSociologyGeneral.Jurisprudence & general issues.Sociology & anthropology.Guilt (Law)GuiltReligious aspects.Guilt.Guilt in literature.152.44306.2Anderson Matthew213347Sarat Austin254475UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910784352503321Toward a critique of guilt3744887UNINA
