Through close readings of a range of popular Hollywood speculative fiction films including The Dark Knight, Unbreakable, I, Robot and The Hobbit, Timothy Peters explores how fictional worlds, particularly those that 'make strange' the world of the viewer, can render visible and make explicit the otherwise opaque theologies of modern law.
Through close readings of a range of popular Hollywood speculative fiction films including The Dark Knight, Unbreakable, I, Robot and The Hobbit, Timothy Peters explores how fictional worlds, particularly those that make strange the world of the viewer, can render visible and make explicit the otherwise opaque theologies of modern law.
