Conventionally, it designates the law as a determinate corpus; legal codes, statutes, and the rulings of common law. But it can also refer to the subjected body that is produced by and is part of the law. This subjected body is necessary for the law's existence.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThinking Through the Body of the Law\u003c\/b\u003e reconceives the role of the body in the founding, maintaining, and regulation of our legal systems and social order and elaborates on its implications for issues of legal responsibility and justice. Taking into account and sometimes challenging the tenets of critical legal theory, critical race theory, and feminist jurisprudence, these essays examine the body and the law as they relate to surrogacy, the Holocaust, land-rights for Aboriginals, murder, the media and insanity, taxation, genetic engineering, and sexy dressing and sexual harassment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pheng Cheah\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814715451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814715451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.47h x 5.53w x 0.85d","brand":"Pheng Cheah","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059842052351,"sku":"9780814715451","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3d22102b-ab32-4ecc-9d32-c561226ea7e5.jpg?v=1685060636","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thinking-through-the-body-of-pheng-cheah-9780814715451","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
