(2015) 24(3) Symposium
Through
the Looking Glass: the Framing of Law and Justice through Popular Imagination
Symposium
Editor: Cassandra Sharp
Deadline for manuscripts: 30 March 2015
Deadline for manuscripts: 30 March 2015
This
special edition is designed to explore the connected themes of legal
storytelling and the visual image of law and justice in popular culture. Following Alice, who contemplates, and then
explores, the world on the other side of the looking glass, this special
edition calls upon scholars to reflect on and encounter the concepts of law and
justice as broadly framed within popular imagination via the portal of popular
cultural texts. Alice goes through the looking glass
to find a world both clear and recognizable yet inverted, or refracted, and so
too, this symposium sought to explore stories and images of law in popular
culture that are familiar, yet at the same time often turned strange.
Within
this theme, scholars can investigate and revisit issues that map the
contemporary discipline of law and pop culture – with its different dimensions
and relations to legal knowledge, law practice and jurisprudence. The special
edition seeks to allow for broad coverage under topics such as:
·
The role of legal storytelling in
transforming, mirroring, creating, and sustaining legal consciousness.
·
The framing and/or distortion of
law within popular images and narratives.
· The transformation and circulation
of meaning in relation to perceptions of justice, and/or how justice
(dis)connects with law.
·
The (de)mystification of law
through popular stories.
Submissions
are invited for this Symposium Edition, which can
be between 8,000 and 10,000 words in length, addressing any issue broadly
conceived within this theme.
