Its emerging methodology shares concerns with another interdisciplinary field, the study of the relations between law and literature, which focuses on the ways in which the two cultural practices of law and literature mutually negotiate each other and on the question after the ontological commensurability of the domains. This volume offers, for the first time, an attempt to provide an interface between these overlapping interdisciplinary endeavours of literary studies, legal studies, and diaspora studies. In doing so, it explores new approaches and invites new perspectives on diasporas, migration and the disciplines that study them, hopefull also adding to the cultural resources of coping with a swiftly changing social landscape in a globalizing world. 410 0$aLaw & literature (De Gruyter) ;$vVolume 12. 606 $aLaw and literature 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aDiaspora. 610 $alaw. 610 $aliterature. 615 0$aLaw and literature. 676 $a809.93355 702 $aCarpi$b Daniela 702 $aStierstorfer$b Klaus 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910404125503321 996 $aDiaspora, law and literature$92264579 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04417nam 2200625 450 001 9910790052303321 005 20230721014251.0 010 $a1-383-04661-1 010 $a0-19-161682-6 010 $a0-19-158039-2 035 $a(CKB)2670000000087828 035 $a(StDuBDS)AH24082266 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000593523 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12291052 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000593523 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10746312 035 $a(PQKB)10873580 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL665489 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11197820 035 $a(OCoLC)727648509 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC665489 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000087828 100 $a20170112h20092009 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe strange alchemy of life and law /$fAlbie Sachs 210 1$aOxford, [England] ;$aNew York :$cOxford University Press,$d2009. 210 4$d©2009 215 $a1 online resource (xiv, 306 p., [2] p. of plates ) $ccol. ill 300 $aIncludes index. 311 $a0-19-960577-7 311 $a0-19-957179-1 327 $aPreface; Prologue; 1.

Mixing autobiography with reflections on his major cases and the role of law in achieving social justice, Sachs offers a rare glimpse into the workings of the judicial mind and a unique perspective on modern South African history. 330 $bFrom a young age Albie Sachs played a prominent part in the struggle for justice in South Africa. As a result he was detained in solitary confinement, tortured by sleep deprivation and eventually blown up by a car bomb which cost him his right arm and the sight of an eye. His experiences provoked an outpouring of creative thought on the role of law as a protector of human dignity in the modern world, and a lifelong commitment to seeing a new era of justice established in South Africa. After playing an important part in drafting South Africa's post-apartheid Constitution, he was appointed by Nelson Mandela to be a member of the country's first Constitutional Court. Over the course of his fifteen year term on the Court he has grappled with the major issues confronting modern South Africa, and the challenges posed to the fledgling democracy as it sought to overcome the injustices of the apartheid regime. As his term on the Court approaches its end, Sachs here conveys in intimate fashion what it has been like to be a judge in these unique circumstances, how his extraordinary life has influenced his approach to the cases before him, and his views on the nature of justice and its achievement through law. The book provides unique access to an insider's perspective on modern South Africa, and a rare glimpse into the working of a judicial mind. By juxtaposing life experiences and extracts from judgments, Sachs enables the reader to see the complex and surprising ways in which legal culture transforms subjective experience into objectively reasoned decisions. With rare candour he tells of the difficulties he has when preparing a judgment, of how every judgment is a lie. Rejecting purely formal notions of the judicial role he shows how both reason and passion (concern for protecting human dignity) are required for law to work in the service of justice. 606 $aJudges$zSouth Africa$vBiography 606 $aLawyers$zSouth Africa$vBiography 606 $aAnti-apartheid movements 606 $aPost-apartheid era 615 0$aJudges 615 0$aLawyers 615 0$aAnti-apartheid movements. 615 0$aPost-apartheid era. 676 $a347.68/014092 700 $aSachs$b Albie$f1935-$0474694 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790052303321 996 $aStrange alchemy of life and law$9245538 997 $aUNINA
