{"product_id":"lex-populi","title":"Lex Populi","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a book about jurisprudence—or legal philosophy. The legal philosophical texts under consideration are—to say the least—unorthodox. Tolkien, \u003ci\u003eBuffy the Vampire Slayer\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHarry Potter\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLegally Blonde\u003c\/i\u003e, and others are referenced as instances of what the author calls \u003ci\u003elex populi\u003c\/i\u003e—\"pop law\". Here, however, issues of legal philosophy are heavily coded, for few of these pop cultural texts announce themselves as expressly legal. \u003ci\u003eLex Populi\u003c\/i\u003e reads these texts \"jurisprudentially\", with an eye to their hidden legal philosophical meanings, enabling connections such as: Tolkien''s Ring as Kelsen''s \u003ci\u003egrundnorm\u003c\/i\u003e; vampire slaying as legal language''s semiosis; and Hogwarts as substantively unjust. \u003ci\u003eLex Populi\u003c\/i\u003e attempts not only a jurisprudential reading of popular culture, but also a popular rereading of jurisprudence, removing it from the legal experts in order to restore it to the public at large: a \u003ci\u003elex populi\u003c\/i\u003e by and for the people.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57310288970110,"sku":"NW9780804771719","price":23.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780804771719.jpg?v=1778581869","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/lex-populi","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
