基本説明
The book addresses the cultural dimentions of trials. The essays conceive of trials as sites of legal performance and as critical public spaces. This volume examines how trials emerge out of particular social and historical contexts, and suggests ways in which trials themselves, as both singular events and generic forms, circulate and signify in culture.
