Taking Natural Disaster As The Political And Legal Norm Is Uncommon. Taking A Person Who Has Become Unstable And Irrational During A Disaster As The Starting Point For Legal Analysis Is Equally Uncommon. Nonetheless, In Law In Crisis Ruth Miller Makes The Unsettling Case That The Law Demands An Ecstatic Subject And That Natural Disaster Is The Endpoint To Law. Developing An Idiosyncratic But Compelling New Theory Of Legal And Political Existence, Miller Challenges Existing Arguments That, Whether Valedictory Or Critical, Have Posited The Rational, Bounded Self As The Normative Subject Of Law.By Bringing A Distinctive, Accessible Reading Of Contemporary Political Philosophy To Bear On Source Material In Several European And Middle Eastern Languages, Miller Constructs A Cogent Analysis Of Natural Disaster And Its Role In Modern Subject Formation. In The Process, She Opens Up Exciting New Lines Of Inquiry In The Fields Of Law, Politics, And Gender Studies. Law In Crisis Represents A Promising New Development In The Interdisciplinary Study Of Law.
