La forma del derecho: de la institución a la textualidad

Form, understood primarily as corporeality, but also as the mode of being of a thought or expression, provides an opportunity to consider a material study of law. Behind ideas such as text and fiction, this monograph offers an alternative reading of the history of legal thought. On the ideas of Pierre Legendre, we will attempt to open up reflection on the possibilities of fiction, its presence in legal discourse, and the institution as a linguistic construct and as a possibility of law. Therefore, it will be useful to move beyond the material dimension of law, beyond the form understood by legal formalists and positivists, which is limited to the possible ways in which law validly takes shape and prevails. Finally, we will propose an intellectual path through the textuality of law and its history of historical, literary, and linguistic modulations.
