    Jurisprudence without law? Law and the image in Giorgio Agamben
    Parsley, Connal Hugh ( 2017)
    This thesis presents an original reading of Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben, in search of a new jurisprudence fit for the age of law’s indistinction with life. Approaching Agamben's ambivalent proximity to the juridical tradition through the question of representationalism (using contemporary examples like legal personhood, cinematic representation, and political protest), this thesis argues that Agamben demonstrates a paradoxical reinhabitation of the theological and juridical traditions whose object, law, he seeks to overcome in the name of a new ethical life.
