<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Populism in politics and policy orientations in law have thrown the jurisdiction of the academy and the disciplines of interpretation into disarray. Critique flounders in abstraction and negativity, law loses itself in particularity. <i>Administering Interpretation</i> brings together philosophers, humanists, and jurists from both continental and Anglophone jurisdictions to reassess the status and trajectory of interpretative theory as applied in the art of law. Tracking the thread of philosophical influences upon the community of legal interpretation, the essays move from the translation and wake of Derrida to the work of Agamben, from deconstruction to <i>oikononmia</i>. Sharing roots in the philological excavation of the political theology of modern law, contributors assess the failure of secularism and the continuing theological borrowings of juridical interpretation. The book brings contemporary critique to bear upon the interpretative apparatuses of exclusion, the law of spectacular sovereignty, and the bodies that lie in its wake. <p/><b>Contributors: </b> Giovanna Borradori, Marinos Diamantides, Allen Feldman, Stanley Fish, Pierre Legrand, Bernadette Meyler, Michel Rosenfeld, Bernhard Schlink, Jeanne Schroeder, Laurent de Sutter, Katrin Trüstedt, Marco Wan</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>The essays in this timely and provocative volume are concerned with the shaping of law's interpretive spaces and with the temporal and spatial management of law towards the possibility for justice. With new and important perspectives on the significance of Derrida and Agamben for legal critique, <i>Administering Interpretation</i> will be welcomed across the disciplines by scholars interested in legal theory, politics, and interpretive practice.<b>---Bradin Cormack, Princeton University, <i></i></b><br><br>This collection is a cumulative and powerful display of the possibilities inherent in continental philosophy for the work of legal interpretation. Peter Goodrich and Michel Rosenfeld underline to important effect the woeful marginality of critical jurisprudence and critical legal interpretation in the contemporary U.S. legal academy, in contrast to transoceanic points of comparison. The collection itself is an effective advertisement for the absurdity of that marginality.<b>---Christopher Tomlins, University of California, Berkeley, School of Law, <i></i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Peter Goodrich (Edited By) </b><br> <b>Peter Goodrich</b> is Professor of Law and Director of the Program of Law and Humanities, Cardozo School of Law. <p/><b>Michel Rosenfeld (Edited By) </b><br> <b>Michel Rosenfeld</b> is University Professor of Law and Comparative Democracy and Justice and Sydney L.
