This book looks for law in the \"wrong places\"--sites and spaces in which no formal law appears. These may be geographic regions beyond the reach of law, everyday practices ungoverned or ungovernable by law, or works of art that have escaped law's constraints. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLooking for Law in All the Wrong Places\u003c\/i\u003e brings together essays by leading scholars of anthropology, cultural studies, history, law, literature, political science, race and ethnic studies, religion, and rhetoric, to look at law from the standpoint of the humanities. Beyond showing law to be determined by or determinative of distinct cultural phenomena, the contributors show how law is itself interwoven with language, text, image, and culture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMany essays in this volume look for law precisely in the kinds of \"wrong places\" where there appears to be no law. They find in these places not only reflections and remains of law, but also rules and practices that seem indistinguishable from law and raise challenging questions about the locations of law and about law's meaning and function. Other essays do the opposite: rather than looking for law in places where law does not obviously appear, they look in statute books and courtrooms from perspectives that are usually presumed to have nothing to say about law. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLooking at law sideways, or upside down, or inside out defamiliarizes law.

Moving across disciplines, it offers rich and surprising refractions of law's ephemera: What do we learn about the opacity of governance when we look for justice beyond its expected 'place' in the confines of textual or rhetorical jurisprudence? What is revealed when the legal inhabits the sacred, informs the literary, performs geography, polices time, seeps through the agora, regenerates itself within bodies? This indispensable book excavates how seemingly robust juridical processes may teeter in concert with more fragile norms for mobility, status, and human affinity.\"--Patricia J.
