As this pioneering anthology reveals, tort law is not simply a collection of legal rules and procedures, but a set of cultural responses to the broader problems of risk, injury, assignment of responsibility, compensation, valuation, and obligation. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExamining tort law as a cultural phenomenon and a form of cultural practice, this work makes explicit comparisons of tort law across space and time, looking at the United States, Europe, and Asia in the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries. It draws on theories and methods from law, sociology, political science, and anthropology to offer a truly interdisciplinary, pathbreaking view. Ultimately, tort law, the authors show, nests within a larger web of relationships and shared discursive conventions that organize social life. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanford Law Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47585053212823,"sku":"9780804756136","price":14127.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780804756136.webp?v=1774958891","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/fault-lines-tort-law-as-cultural-practice-9780804756136","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
