Zizek and Law

Book Overview

The very first book dedicated to Slavoj Zizek's theoretical treatment of law, this book gathers widely recognized Zizek scholars and legal theorists to analyise the place of law in Zizek's work. Whether it is with reference to symbolic law, psychoanalytical law, religious law, positive law, human rights, to Lacan's, Hegel's, or Kant's philosophies of law, or even to Jewish or Buddhist law, Zizek's work offers a new approach to law's role within the framework of radical politics. With the help of Zizek himself - who here, and for the first time, directly engages with the topic of law - this collection provides an authoritative account of 'Zizek and law'.
