Giorgos Askitas (Université Sorbonne Paris Nord) has posted Law through Theatre: The Trans-judicial and Trans-theatrical Approach to Sexual Identity on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
This paper explores the intersection of law and theater in understanding sexual identity, termed "transjudicial" and "transtheatrical" approaches. It examines how theatrical techniques and performances can illuminate legal constructs and societal norms surrounding sexual identity. By analyzing case studies and theoretical frameworks, the study reveals the performative aspects of both legal and social narratives, proposing a more nuanced comprehension of sexual identity through the lens of theatricality. This interdisciplinary approach aims to enrich legal theory and practice by incorporating insights from the performing arts.
