About the Book

The study of legal semiotics emphasizes the contingency and fluidity of legal concepts and stresses the existence of overlapping, competing and coexisting legal discourses. New problems, changing power structures and societal norms and new faces of injustice -- all these force reconsideration, reformulation and even replacement of established doctrines. This book focuses on the application of law in a wide variety of contexts, including international politics and diplomatic practice.

Table of Contents:
Legal Theory.- Law as Fact, Law as Fiction.- Lexical Indeterminacy.- Topical Jurisprudence.- Legal Speech Acts as Intersubjective Communicative Action.- Judicial Reasoning.- Who needs Fact when you’ve got Narrative? The Case of P,C&S vs. United Kingdom.- Taking Facts Seriously.- Transforming Ambiguity into Vagueness in Legal Interpretation.- Application of Law in Political Practice.- The Inclusive/Exclusive Nation.- Global Values and Floating Borders in the Brazilian Amazon.- Landmarks for Aboriginal Law in Australia.

Review :
"Combining theoretical inspiration with a keen interest in case law, this volume will appeal to scholars and students of legal theory, jurisprudence, legal anthropology, postcolonial studies, indeed to anyone who’s interested in problems of interpretation in legal and political theory and practice. It should also come in very handy in the classroom." Ronnie Lippens, Professor of Criminology, Keele University
