Review # 1 was written on 2012-07-02 00:00:00 Sarah-jane Reader I read this only for the last essay, which I couldn't find anywhere else, called "A Journey Through Forgetting: Towards a Jurisprudence of Violence" by Sarat and Kearns. For those looking for legal theories following up on Walter Benjamin's "Critique of Violence", Derrida's "Force of Law", and Robert Cover's "Violence and the Word", this is pretty essential reading. It presents a short history of law's story as told by law, notably through the way in which it attempts to cover up its own connection with violent acts, e.g. execution, torture, imprisonment, etc, or, as Cover said, to conceal the fact that prisoners "do not walk themselves into prisons". They then apply this notion of forgetting to the most lasting and most famous juridical theories of the last 500 years, starting with Hobbes' Leviathan, through John Austin, Alexander Hamilton and the American political-legal tradition, and up to the "rule" based and "normative" turn of H.L.A. Hart and Ronald Dworkin. At each stage, they highlight the way the legal theories serves to highlight or conceal the violence at the center of a legal system, from Hobbes overwhelming violence keeping "all in awe" to Hart and Dworkin's downsizing to the point of eradicating violence in favor of "rule-based behavior".
