The media's projections of the legal system remind us not only of the way law lives in our imagination but also of the contingencies of our own legal and social arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors to \u003ci\u003eImagining Legality\u003c\/i\u003e are less interested in the accuracy of the portrayals of law in film and television than in exploring the conditions of law's representation, circulation, and consumption in those media. In the same way that legal scholars have taken on the disciplinary perspectives of history, economics, sociology, anthropology, and psychology in relation to the law, these writers bring historical, sociological, and cultural analysis, as well as legal theory, to aid in the understanding of law and popular culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Austin Sarat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0817356789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780817356781\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Alabama Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Austin Sarat","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086960898303,"sku":"9780817356781","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fece10a7-31a9-4b9a-9934-97b9b2fac9ad.jpg?v=1769097495","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/imagining-legality-austin-sarat-9780817356781","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
