Subjectivation and Cohesion: Towards the Reconstruction of a Materialist Theory of Law

Sonja Buckel delves into the intricate relationship between law and materialist theory, offering a fresh perspective rooted in Marxist thought. The book navigates through historical and contemporary legal frameworks, seeking to uncover the underlying mechanisms of subjectivation and cohesion in legal systems. By drawing on various theoretical strands, Buckel emphasizes the necessity of understanding law as a social construct influenced by material realities.

Through a critical lens, the narrative challenges traditional legal theories, advocating for a reconstruction that acknowledges the interplay between socio-economic conditions and legal norms. Buckel's analysis engages with the complexities of power dynamics, illuminating how law shapes identities and societal structures.

As she articulates her vision for a materialist theory of law, readers are invited to rethink the foundations of legal practices. This work serves not only as an academic exploration but also as a profound commentary on the role of law in the socio-political landscape, prompting reflections on justice, authority, and collective experience.
