{"product_id":"negative-comparative-law-pierre-legrand-9781009054867","title":"Negative Comparative Law","description":"Written under the sign of Beckett, this book addresses comparative law's commitment to the deterritorialization of the legal and its attendant claim for the normative relevance of foreign law locally in the fabrication of statutory determinations, judicial opinions, or academic reflections. Wanting to withstand the law's persistent tendency towards nationalist retrenchment and counter comparative law's institutional marginalization, the fifteen essays at hand impart radical and discerning intellectual equipment in order to foster the valorization of the legally foreign and the comparative motion. In particular, the critique informing this manifesto examines pre-eminent topics like culture and difference, understanding and translatability, objectivity and truth, invention and tracing. Harnessing insights from a range of disciplinary discourses, this book contends that comparatists must boldly desist from their field's dominant epistemology and embrace a practice much better attuned to the study of foreignness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pierre Legrand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1009054864\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009054867\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.98d","brand":"Pierre Legrand","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47758137950463,"sku":"9781009054867","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6ddcbcd2-8b7b-449b-b396-c91ca1c82974.jpg?v=1765511072","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/negative-comparative-law-pierre-legrand-9781009054867","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
