Details:
This book offers a critical examination of the relationship between law and the often-overlooked issue of "enjoyment." Drawing on psychoanalytic theory, it explores how law is expressed through enjoyment, and conversely, how enjoyment reflects and shapes law. The author uses case studies from film and literature to illustrate the complex dynamics between law and pleasure. Topics covered include the forced choice to enjoy the law, the biopolitics of tyranny, the symbolic codification of pleasure in law, and the transgressive possibilities of law. This work is aimed at legal theorists and scholars interested in psychoanalytic and cultural theory, as well as the intersection of law, power, and pleasure.
