商品簡介
A textual analysis of the US legal discourse and its unfolding through time and place in terms of the pragmatic idea, based on Alberstein's (Bar Ilan U., Israel) doctoral dissertation for Harvard Medical School. Characterizing the jurisprudence of the 1950s as a constitutive moment that casts any narration as either before or after it, she follows the various appearances of pragmatism in time and place in order to trace the American singularity in historical narratives that emphasize both the general and the universal. A recurring theme is the iconic role of Harvard as representing this singularity. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
