Description
Popular legal culture is largely influenced by film and television. The study of these has a decent tradition by now in sociology of law. The stories follow the need to dramatize and to personalise conflicts. Typical formats are for example courtroom dramas and police procedurals.This presentation widens the scope to include how the relationship between law and technology is portrayed in film and television. It will analyse how law and legal personnel but also laypeople are empowered or negatively affected by technology in products of popular legal culture. Then it will be asked what message is sent to the audience as a result.
