Law And, Law In, Law As: The Definition, Rejection And Recuperation Of The Socio-Legal Enterprise, Christopher L. Tomlins
Christopher Tomlins
The critical moment in socio-legal studies that flowered in the United States and elsewhere between the mid-1970s and the early 1990s coincided with the maturation of the Legal Studies Department at Melbourne's LaTrobe University. During its two-decade span (1972-1994) La Trobe Legal Studies developed multidisciplinary critical and theoretical perspectives on law as substance, as professional practice, as field of academic inquiry to an extent and depth unrivalled in Australia or, with just a few exceptions, internationally. This essay charts the particular trajectory followed by one of those perspectives, legal history, both at La Trobe and in the wider world. Simultaneously, …

The Confessions Of Nat Turner: A Paratextual Analysis, Christopher Tomlins
Christopher Tomlins
This essay uses techniques advanced by the structuralist literary theorist Gerard Genette to examine the pamphlet, The Confessions of Nat Turner, written in the aftermath of the Turner slave rebellion (Southampton County, Virginia, August 1831). Like all documents generated in the course of master-class investigations of slave revolts - alleged or actual - The Confessions of Nat Turner raises obvious evidentiary quandaries: credibility, reliability, authenticity. Precisely what kind of historical source is this document? How should it be interrogated? What can it tell us? These questions become particularly important in light of controversies over the use of sources by historians …

Law As … Iv: Minor Jurisprudence In Historical Key. An Introduction, Christopher Tomlins
Christopher Tomlins
Is minor jurisprudence tallow or is it tar? Taking its cue from Elvis Costello and the Brodsky Quartet’s ‘Damnation’s Cellar (1993), this introduction presents the idea of ‘minor jurisprudence’ as it was first proposed in the mid-1990s, and explores its current potential as discussed, developed, and applied in the essays in this issue of Law Text Culture. The introduction also presents the enterprise known as ‘Law As …’ – a biennial symposium under the umbrella of which this exploration of minor jurisprudence took place. One important question for the symposium was, ‘can “Law As …” be a form of minor …
