Law as Performance

Lindsay Stern (Yale Uni­versity, Com­par­ative Lit­er­ature) will be in con­ver­sation with Julie Stone Peters (Columbia Uni­versity) and Emanuele Conte (Rome 3, and EHESS-Paris) about Julie Stone Peters’ recent book, Law as Per­for­mance (Oxford UP, 2022). Three articles and other readings are available for this session. Lindsay Stern’s “Laughter and the Word”, Emanuele Conte’s “Per­for­mances of Law”, and Julie Stone Peters’ “Per­forming Law”. In addition to the his­torical and critical research, we will see the extra­or­dinary impor­tance of this research for con­tem­porary critical thought and practice.
