This book takes as its focus the judicial apparatus; and, more specifically, the concept of the political or show trial. The book considers the different ways in which a politics of resistance is enabled in the courtroom: as it uncovers a performative logic that contingently conditions, and thus breaks open, law’s otherwise closed normativity.
