Space, Time, Justice
From Archaic Rituals to Contemporary Perspectives
«
David Marrani approaches the study of contemporary institutions of justice carrying a rich multidisciplinary toolbox. He uses the tools of philosophy, particularly work associated with structuralism and post structuralism, psychoanalysis, Freud and Lacan, anthropology, art criticism, architecture, film theory, and jurisprudence to name a few to reflect on a number of pressing issues intimately associated with the delivery of justice. Chapters include a study of judicial authority and courtroom ritual. Two others explore the space of justice. One examines the modern architectural jurisprudential preoccupation with transparency revealing the new opacity that it generates. The second focuses on the impact of the dematerialization of justice, as cameras turn the institutions of justice into just another TV show. This is a rich, thoughtful and provocative study that is a must read for anyone interested in the nature and place of justice in contemporary society.

This book merges philosophical, psychoanalytical and legal perspectives to explore how spaces of justice are changing and the effect this has on the development of the administration of justice. There are as central themes: the idea of transgression as the starting point of the question of justice and its archaic anchor; the relation between spaces of justice and ritual(s); the question of use and abuse of transparency in contemporary courts; and the abolition of the judicial walls with the use of cameras in courts.

This book merges philosophical, psychoanalytical and legal perspectives to explore how spaces of justice are changing and the effect this has on the development of the administration of justice. There are as central themes: the idea of transgression as the starting point of the question of justice and its archaic anchor; the relation between spaces of justice and ritual(s); the question of use and abuse of transparency in contemporary courts; and the abolition of the judicial walls with the use of cameras in courts. It offers a comparative approach, looking at spaces of justice in both the civil and common law traditions. Presenting a theoretical and interdisciplinary study of spaces of justice, it will appeal to academics in the fields of law, criminology, sociology and architecture.
