Introduction: In Flangrante Depicto

An Introduction, 2009

This article's modest goal is to introduce uninitiated readers to the emerging, interdisciplinary field of law-and-film, while presenting them with the framework of one formulation of this new area of research. The article's first part opens with a brief overview of law-and-film scholarship and proceeds to outline my own suggested conceptualization of the law-and-film terrain. This framework defines three distinct perspectives on lawand-film that, I believe, capture much of the law-and-film enterprise. These perspectives rely on three fundamental premises: that some films' modes of social operation parallel those of the law and legal system; that some films enact viewer-engaging judgment; and that some films elicit popular jurisprudence. Parts B, C and D of this article present and explore these perspectives in more detail, illustrating them with specific law-film examples. The paper concludes with a brief reference to the benefits of using law-and-film in teaching.

Nell’intervista Manuela Bertone illustra caratteristiche, progetto, programma e network internazionale dell’Observatoire du Récit Criminel – cluster di ricerca del Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire Récits Cultures et Sociétés (LIRCES) dell’Université Côte d’Azur – svolgendo anche alcune riflessioni sulle funzioni esercitate dall’ecosistema transmediale (che comprende, oltre alla letteratura, il cinema, i media tradizionali e web centered, le interpretazioni critiche, ecc.) nell’invenzione e nella diffusione dell’attuale racconto criminale dedicato alle mafie, nonché sul rapporto tra dinamiche narrative e percezione della realtà. Affronta inoltre que­stioni metodologiche inerenti allo spazio interdisciplinare in cui si colloca lo studio di questi fenomeni, con particolare riferimento ai rapporti tra diritto e letteratura, tra storia e letteratura.

This summary explores a large body of published work that has sought to develop both teaching and research in what has been termed film and the law or perhaps more accurately 'cinematic justice'. The first section outlines the diversity of methodological approaches that have been used in the area generally but also within the submitted pieces that form the main body of the work.
