you guys have inspired me to place my piece on the board:
I'm a law professor who writes about film and law, using theory as
well as concrete practices to figure out how meanings are made
and circulated. I'm also very interested in new media since (in the
US at least) law is going digital everywhere you look. the screens
are omnipresent: but what's on them, and how do we read them,
and how do we get read in the process?
when you add the power of the state (through law) to moving
images (how law gets made) it might give you a sense of why
visual culture is important to the way we think about our legal and
political institutions.
