- The epitome of this article is the reflection upon the question of “How long is now?” This question is interpreted within the context of the Iraq war, 2003 and onwards, as the enduring now specified. Drawing on parallels from the European World War II experience and the use of “Auschwitz” as a metaphor for a specifically Christian guilt articulated in relation to the Pauline eschatological hope of Messianic expectation, a common structure recognizable within both theology and international law is proposed. And through the gaze of political theology – as it is put forward by Carl Schmitt – theology is proposed to be instructing law. The theological imagery of the grand dichotomy of the Iraqi war between the Coalition of the Willing and the Axis of Evil is scrutinized, in order to frame the drama of the Messianic expectation as it unfolds in and after the war event. This drama leaves no one as a spectator, but forces us all to choose side, also in our Nordic societies. It leaves us with the grand question: what is good and what is evil? In the final part of the article the core question is addressed to the Nordic societies, and a vision of a turn from hope and faith in law to hope and faith through law is envisioned for a new life to come.

Legal stagings. The visualization, medialization and ritualization of law in language, literature, media, art and architecture
- 2012

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In tandem with contemporary modern society becoming increasingly dependent upon visuality, new trends have emerged in cultural studies discussing how visual representations influence our perception of society and its institutions. This is an important observation concerning central elements of law and legal thinking, which to a large extent have been shaped and informed by a text-based tradition: legislation, preparatory materials, court decisions, and commentaries almost without exception manifest themselves in the form of texts. Most of the papers in this volume, written by lawyers and scholars working in various fields, address variegated forms of legal staging and visual representation across a range of different disciplines and genres, including architecture, theatre, courtroom art and portraiture, cinema, literature, journalism. Benefiting from contextual and legal-cultural comparative methods, the contributions combine theoretical approaches to the visuality of law with practical experiences, demonstrating how law is so much more than law in action and law in books; law is also part of a visual culture: it contributes to that culture and is, in turn, analyzed, maintained and criticized by that culture. While the majority of the papers explore these ramifications in the new legal landscape developing in the late modern Nordic countries, the volume also broadens its perspective in order to probe legal contexts in other countries where new trajectories, and possibilities, impinge on how cultural manifestations of law change the way we understand law and, thus, changes law itself.
