LAW AND JUSTICE IN LITERATURE FILM AND THEATER ...

This volume is a Nordic contribution to research on law and humanities. It treats the legal
culture of the Nordic countries through intensive analyses of canonical Nordic artworks. Law
and justice have always been important issues in Nordic literature  film and theater from the
Icelandic sagas through Ludvig Holberg and Henrik Ibsen to Lars Noréns theatre and Lars von
Trier's Dogme films of today. This book strives to answer two fundamental questions: Is there a
special Nordic justice? And what does the legal and literary aesthetic culture of the North
mean for the concept of law and justice and for the understanding of the interdisciplinary
exchange of law and humanities? The concept of law and literature as a research area was
originally developed in countries of common law. This book investigates law and humanities from
a different legal tradition  and contributes thus both to the discussion of the general and the
comparative studies of law and humanities.
