Traditional methods of Law and Literature are combined with work in critical media studies, affect, and cultural narratology to address topics such as ethnonationalism, anti-immigration sentiment, and systemic racism in Germany and the United States. Taking stock of the diversification of the field at fifty years, this book understands Law and Literature as a political project. It has a precedent in inaugural Law and Literature texts such as Jacob Grimm's\u003cem\u003e Von der Poesie im Recht\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003eOn the Poetry in Law\u003c\/em\u003e) from 1815\/16, which imagined an alternative legal order that was grounded in the unity of law, poetic language, and feeling. The political thrust of Law and Literature continues up into the present in the arts of BlackLivesMatter, which document and resist police violence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLaw and Literature offers keys for understanding how legal identities are constructed, for analyzing how legal texts are constructed, and for comprehending how cultural-legal issues are mediated affectively. Using cultural, medial, affect theoretical, and narrative analyses of law, a revitalized Law and Literature offers a set of methods and theories with which to address the most pressing issues of the present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGreta Olson, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of English and American Literary and Cultural Studies, University of Giessen\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGreta Olson is Professor of English and American Literary and Cultural Studies at the University of Giessen.
