An interdisciplinary analysis of the ways in which symbolic acts create social norms,
Power and Legitimacy is an important contribution to the growing body of scholarship
on law and literature. Drawing on the theoretical insights of Judith Butler and Pierre
Bourdieu, Anne Quéma demonstrates the effect of symbolic violence on the creation
of social and political legitimacy. Examining modern jurisprudence theory, statutory
law, and the family within the modern Gothic novel, Qué́ma shows how the forms and
effects of political power transform as one shifts from discourse to discourse. An
impressive integration of the scholarship in these three fields, Power and Legitimacy
is a thought-provoking analysis of the basis of power and the law. --Provided by publisher
