Book Description
Readings in Law and Popular Culture is the first book to bring together high quality state of the art research from key researchers working at the cutting edge of law and cultural disciplines, with an emphasis on context.
The volume crosses many boundaries, dealing with areas as diverse as football based computer games; Buffy the Vampire Slayer; digital sampling in the music industry; the films of Sidney Lumet; football hooliganism and Enid Blyton. These topics are linked together through the key thread of the role of, or absence of law, providing a snapshot of important work in the burgeoning field of law and popular culture. The book includes important theoretical and truly innovative and relevant material that will enliven and inform a legal audience, and will be of interest to a far wider audience.
