Kommentar/Beschreibung

We organize our lives with a framework of rules, regulations, and norms that shapes interactions between and among people and nations. We also organize our lives through narrative—using stories to shape and understand our actual experiences. The legal system and literary expression are both experienced through language. Law is expressed in language, which is also the primary tool for enforcing law’s authority. Literary texts, similarly, are framed through language, and can even challenge the legal system by exploring boundaries of convention—banned books are both literary and legal artifacts. This course surveys the broad field of law and literature, largely through Anglo-American common law, via canonical texts presenting problems in jurisprudence and moral philosophy. The course begins with a slow reading and viewing of Aeschylus’s Oresteia, before looking at two exemplars of law-in-literature and law-in-film: “Billy Budd” and Rashomon.
