Klappentext zu „Law, Culture and Visual Studies “
The proposed volumes are aimed at a multidisciplinary audience and seek to fill the gap between law, semiotics and visuality providing a comprehensive theoretical and analytical overview of legal visual semiotics. They seek to promote an interdisciplinary debate from law, semiotics and visuality bringing together the cumulative research traditions of these related areas as a prelude to identifying fertile avenues for research going forward.Advance Praise for Law, Culture and Visual Studies
This diverse and exhilarating collection of essays explores the many facets both historical and contemporary of visual culture in the law. It opens a window onto the substantive, jurisdictional, disciplinary and methodological diversity of current research. It is a cornucopia of materials that will enliven legal studies for those new to the field as well as for established scholars. It is a 'must read' that will leave you wondering about the validity of the long held obsession that reduces the law and legal studies to little more than a preoccupation with the word.
Leslie J Moran Professor of Law, Birkbeck College, University of London
Law, Culture & Visual Studies is a treasure trove of insights on the entwined roles of legality and visuality. From multiple interdisciplinary perspectives by scholars from around the world, these pieces reflect the fullness and complexities of our visual encounters with law and culture. From pictures to places to postage stamps, from forensics to film to folklore, this anthology is an exciting journey through the fertile field of law and visual culture as well as a testament that the field has come of age.
Naomi Mezey, Professor of Law, Georgetown University Law Center, Washington, D.C., USA
This highly interdisciplinary reference work brings together diverse fields including cultural studies, communication theory, rhetoric, law and film studies, legal and social history, visual and legal theory, in order to document the various

historical, cultural, representational and theoretical links that bind together law and the visual. This book offers a breath-taking range of resources from both well-established and newer scholars who together cover the field of law's representation in, interrogation of, and dialogue with forms of visual rhetoric, practice, and discourse. Taken together this scholarship presents state of the art research into an important and developing dimension of contemporary legal and cultural inquiry. Above all, Law Culture and Visual Studies lays the groundwork for rethinking the nature of law in our densely visual culture: How are legal meanings produced, encoded, distributed, and decoded? What critical and hermeneutic skills, new or old, familiar or unfamiliar, will be needed? Topical, diverse, and enlivening, Law Culture and Visual Studies is a vital research tool and an urgent invitation to further critical thinking in the areas sowell laid out in this collection.

Symbols, images and gestures have the potential to convey multiple levels of meaning and often represent concepts that are challenging to articulate explicitly due to their complexity, novelty or lack of specificity. The visual aspect of legal semiotics is widely discussed within the International Roundtables for the Semiotics of Law. Anne Wagner has

Richard K. SHERWIN Professor of Law Director, Visual Persuasion Project New York Law School Richard K. Sherwin is an expert on the use of visual representations and visual persuasion in litigation and litigants’ public relations. He has written widely on the interrelationship between law and culture, including interdisciplinary works on law and rhetoric, discourse theory, political legitimacy, and the emerging field of popular legal studies. He gained international attention with his well-received book, When Law Goes Pop: the Vanishing Line between Law and Popular Culture (University of Chicago Press, 2000) which explores the impact of visual communication technologies on the theory and practice of law. His edited collection, Popular Culture and Law (Ashgate: The International Library of Law and Society) followed in 2006.

Contesting the Visual Context of Law and Film Studies,” in A.

Rush ed., 2007); “Thinking Beyond the Shown,” (with Neal Feigenson) Law Probability Risk, Volume 6, Number 1-4 (March/December 2007) 295-310 (Oxford University Press); “What is Visual Knowledge, and What is it Good for?

In 2001, Professor Sherwin debuted Visual Persuasion in the Law, the first course of its kind in the nation to teach students about the role and efficacy (as well as the pitfalls) of using visual evidence and visual advocacy in contemporary legal practice. During the semester, students create, in the context of cutting edge legal controversies, visual exhibits and a closing argument in the form of a short film. Student films are produced in the Law School’s state-of-the-art digital media lab.
In 2005, Professor Sherwin launched the Visual Persuasion Project website at: http://www.nyls.edu/centers/projects/visual_persuasion/. This is the first and to date the only site to showcase “best practices” in the visual litigation services field. The site features a broad range of visual products, from 2-D and 3-D animations to accident reenactments, day-in-the-life documentaries, settlement brochures, montages, and other innovative visual products. Users of the Visual Persuasion Web site may choose among four main entry points:
? Visual Litigation and Litigation Service Providers, featuring best practices in visual persuasion inside the courtroom; ? Visual Legal Training, including new law teaching tools and methodologies in real and virtual classrooms; ? Law and Popular Culture, featuring new scholarly approaches to law and pop culture; and ? Recent Media Events, presenting law-related developments in the visual mass media.
The goal of the Visual Persuasion Project is to promote a better understanding of the practice, theory, and teaching of law in the current screen-dominated, pervasively visual, digital era. The Project was formed to study and advance the cultivation of critical visual intelligence, to inspire creative visualizations of evidence, case narratives, policy analysis, and legal argumentation, and to help lawyers, judges, law students, and the lay public integrate new visual tools into more traditional—that is, textual and verbal—approaches to legal analysis.
A frequent public speaker both in the United States and abroad, Professor Sherwin is a regular commentator for television, radio, and print media on the relationship between law, culture, film, and digital media. His appearances include NBC's Today Show, Court TV, WNET, National Public Radio, RTE Radio 1 (National Public Radio in Ireland) and CKUT (Montreal, Canada).aw-related developments in the visual mass media.
