Synesthesia is the phenomenon where sensual perceptions are joined together as a combined experience. This volume explores the richly complex manifestations of synesthesia and law. It explores how we feel/taste/smell/see/hear law within the synesthetic scope of legal interpretation, legal consciousness and legal culture. The work explores aspects of embodiment, place, and presence that constitutively frame law amidst social, cultural, and historical contexts. Particulars located in the layers of synesthetic legalities semiotically generate a notion of law that challenges and transforms the legal semiotic beyond the visual.
Sarah Marusek is an Associate Professor of Public Law in the Department of Political Science at the University of Hawai'i at Hilo. Her research interests focus on sites of constitutive law, legal geography, and legal semiotics while engaging legal pluralist frameworks of visual jurisprudence. She has published widely on these and related areas.
