A work in progress by Amanda Perry-Kessaris, contracted for publication by Routledge.
A diverse array of scholars and practitioners are working at the intersections of law and design. However, this work is generally fragmented and under-theorised.
This book addresses that gap.
- It surfaces classical pragmatism as a shared ancestor of law and of design.
- It develops a novel pragmatic framework for exploring how, when, where, why, and by and for whom, designerly knowledge and techniques are and ought (not) to be used to address lawyerly concerns.
- It addresses both legal practice and legal inquiry.
- It draws on insights from original collaborative academic and social experimentation, including the Cyprus Interspecies Council (2024), the Fantasy Legal Exhibitions project (2023), and the Edinburgh Legal Theory Bazaar (2023).
The hope is that this book will act as a vibrant and resilient bridge between the two disciplines, supporting the responsible advancement of thinking and practice in the field.
