Description
This collection of essays explores the relevance of David Bowie's life and music for contemporary legal and cultural theory. Through an examination of his art and creative methodologies, the author delves into theoretical ideas that have contemporary relevance within fields such as law, social theory, ethics, and art.
These essays highlight the limitations of law in addressing fundamental questions about human existence, creativity, and love. They argue for a beyond-law approach, one that celebrates inauthenticity, explores the ethical limits of art, and challenges traditional notions of writing and authenticity.
This original engagement with the limits of law will appeal to scholars working in legal theory, ethics, and popular culture, as well as those interested in art and cultural studies. The book offers a unique perspective on the intersection of law, creativity, and human experience.
