OverviewThis book addresses a surprisingly overlooked Foucauldian conundrum: what is the logical relationship between modern law and power? Jacopo Martire investigates the development of modern law in conjunction with what Foucault termed biopolitical forms of power. He gives you a much-needed genealogical analysis of the modern legal phenomenon, opening new avenues for Foucauldian approaches to law.

Table of ContentsReviewsTaking radical legal theory in a wholly novel direction, Martire argues that contemporary biopolitics, marked indelibly by the emergence of the virtual subject, liquid institutions and an increasingly xenomorphic social body has exploded the utility of modern law and the most specifically the concept of rights. Painstakingly reconstructing the history of legal categories, A Foucauldian Interpretation of Modern Law returns to the roots of critique and excoriates the repetitively liberal foundations of critical legal thinking.--Peter Goodrich, Cardozo School of Law, New York Author InformationJacopo Martire is Lecturer in Law at the University of Stirling.
