The Scene of Violence: Cinema, Crime, Affect

By Alison Young

A crucial question in the analysis of legal practices concerns the processes of identification with, in and as law - a question of how and by what route law achieves its ends. While it is conventional to interpret the practices of law through the institutional sources of the legal tradition, The Scene of Violence considers how law and legal practices figure in the cultural field; and, specifically, in film.
