Description

In court, numerous arguments about literary texts, which allegedly infringe on the rights of the people depicted, ultimately emerge as competing claims between the legal and the literary view of the prerogative to interprete a text. So far, research has mainly focused on the contrast between legal and ‘literary' opinion. This project's truly interdisciplinary critical approach includes sociological aspects of knowledge and thereby promises a more sophisticated understanding of the texts in question. The project aims to provide an improved basis for legal decisions and verdicts in such cases.
