Zusammenfassung, Abstract
Preface to the English Edition -- Preface -- Introduction -- Part A: Self-reproduction or Self-organisation? -- 1. The Self-reproduction of the Legal System: Luhmann/Teubner -- 1.1 Niklas Luhmann: Law as a System -- 1.2 Gunther Teubner: the Hypercycle of Law -- 1.3 Critique -- 2 Social Self-organisation: Habermas -- 2.1 Money, Power, Solidarity -- 2.2 The System of Rights -- 2.3 Critique -- 3 The End and the Beginning -- Part B: ReConstructing Materialist Legal Theory -- 4 Introduction to Part B -- 5 Foundations: The 1920s and 30s -- 5.1 The Constitutional Theories of Neumann and Kirchheimer -- 5.2 Evgeny Pashukanis -- 6 Renaissance and Crisis of Marxism since the 1970s -- 6.1 The Tradition of the Legal Form Analysis -- 6.2 The Franco-Italian Theory Strand -- Part C: Reconstruction: Subjectivation and Cohesion -- 7 Introduction to Part C -- 8 Extended Relationships of Forces -- 8.1 Totality -- 8.2 Relational Rights and Powers -- 9 Subjectivation -- 10 Hegemony -- 10.1 Hegemonic Government -- 10.2 Routine Repetition -- 11 The Legal Form -- 11.1 Society - a Precarious Hegemonic Project -- 11.2 The Concept of Form -- 12 The Legal Form as Institution -- 12.1 Institutions - a Lower Level of Abstraction -- 12.2 On the Relationship of Law and State -- Part D: Self-government -- 13 Introduction to Part D -- 14 The Emancipatory Potential of the Law -- 14.1 Formal Recognition -- 14.2 A Technology of Knowledge -- 14.3 Deferral of Power -- 15 The Extension of Democracy -- 15.1 Leaving the Juridical Concept of Democracy -- 15.2 A Counter-Hegemonic Democratic Project -- Bibliography -- Glossary -- Name Index -- Subject Index. On the basis of a reconstruction of legal theory in the tradition of Marx - a current that has been more or less silenced since the end of the 1970s - Subjectivation and Cohesion develops a critical counter-pole to the theories of law that predominate in social theory today. To this end, the works of Franz Neumann, Otto Kirchheimer, Evgeny Pashukanis, Oskar Negt, Isaac D. Balbus, the so-called 'State-derivation School', Antonio Gramsci, Nicos Poulantzas and Michel Foucault are first analysed for their strengths and weaknesses, and then combined to form a new construction: a materialist legal theory that is up to date and can avoid the shortcomings of existing theories - above all their disregard for gender relations and the reductive consequences of functionalist, economic or politicist approaches to law. This book was originally published in German as Subjektivierung und Kohäsion. Zur Rekonstruktion einer materialistischen Theorie des Rechts , by Velbrück Wissenschaft, 2007, ISBN 978-3-938808-29-0
