About the Book

The Sixth International Round Table on Law and Semiotics, sponsored and organized by "The Center for Semiotic Research in Law, Government and Economics," convened April 29, 30, May 1, 2, 1992, at Penn State-Berks. Under the general topic, "Flux, Complexity, Illusion," special sessions on the following topics resulted in this wide-ranging collection of papers: Legal Semiotics Theory; Law and Literature; Law and Economics: Intertexts in Legal Semiotics; Codification, Custom and Legal Norms. These papers represent interdisciplinary inquiry that explores the assumptions that a) law is a complex sign-system which dialogically interacts with other social organizations; b) law is an indeterminate and open-ended concept in both theory and practice that contributes to the process of creating and affirming social values; and c) all sign-systems are self-correcting and self-directing.
About the Author: The Editor: Roberta Kevelson received her Ph.D. from Brown University and introduced Legal Semiotics during her Postdoctoral tenure at Yale University (1978-1979). She directs the Center for Semiotic Research in Law, Government and Economics at Penn State which she established in 1984. Kevelson is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy. Among her recent books are "The Law as a System of Signs; Peirce, Praxis, Paradox" and "Peirce's Esthetics." Kevelson is completing work on a new book, "Peirce, Science and Signs."
