Creatively using music as a model, he demonstrates that law is not a sterile, rational structure, but a cultural form to be valued and enhanced through rhetoric and metaphors, form, images, and symbols. To further develop this argument, the book is divided into chapters, each of which is based on a different musical form. Law, for Manderson, should strive for neither coherence nor integrity. Rather, it is imperfectly realized, constantly reinterpreted, and always in flux. Songs without Music is written in an original, engaging, and often humorous style, and exhibits a deep knowledge of both law and music. It successfully traverses several disciplines and builds an original and persuasive argument for a legal aesthetic. The book will appeal to a broad readership in law, political theory, literary criticism, and cultural studies. 410 0$aPhilosophy, social theory, and the rule of law ;$v7. 606 $aLaw and aesthetics 610 $aaesthetics. 610 $aargument. 610 $aargumentation. 610 $acomposition. 610 $acreative nonfiction. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $aform. 610 $ajustice. 610 $alaw. 610 $alegal argument. 610 $alegal brief. 610 $alegal interpretation. 610 $alegal precedence. 610 $alegal text. 610 $alegal writing. 610 $aliterary criticism. 610 $aliving constitution. 610 $aliving law. 610 $ametaphor. 610 $amusic theory. 610 $amusic. 610 $amusical forms. 610 $anarrative structure. 610 $anarrative theory. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aphilosophy. 610 $apolitical theory. 610 $arhetoric. 610 $asymbolism. 610 $atext. 610 $awriting. 615 0$aLaw and aesthetics. 676 $a340/.11 700 $aManderson$b Desmond$0304499 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780084203321 996 $aSongs without music$9732540 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00591nam a2200193 i 4500 001 991004372137407536 005 20250311115834.0 008 250311s1938 fr er 001 1 fre d 040 $aBibl.
