-About this book

This book is the result of a long journey of interest and research, about the power contained in the relation between Law and Language and, also, in the relation between Law and Art. Where there are many ways of establishing these relations of contact and exchange, the choice of this book is by an approach through the Semiotic Theory.

From the methodological point of view, the theoretical line adopted follows the Greimasian line, from the School of Paris (École de Paris), within which I established a deeper connection of my studies, from my Doctorate Thesis (1999), together with the Department of Philosophy and General Theory of Law from the Faculty of Law of the University of São Paulo (Faculdade de Direito/USP), after a doctoral internship at the University of Paris (Université de Paris) and at the University of Lyon (Université de Lyon), in France, during the same period. At that time, the subject was only germinal and specialised literature was still very scarce.

The objective of this work is to recover an important area of investigation within the Semiotics of Law, particularly and directly related to themes of Justice. And this exercise is completed through the most direct connection between Law and Art. The symbol of justice is here the central point of the research. This book intends, in this way, to contribute to the studies of Visual Jurisprudence, given that its core thesis is that corresponding to the task of returning justice to the key concerns of the jurist.

Consequently, the symbol of justice is investigated from a semiotic perspective, so that its appearance can be seen in the production processes of meaning responsible for the formation of Law of each historical period. It is how the historical mutations found at the symbolic level are indicative of the historical transformations of values, practices and knowledge that structure the formation of Law.

The book offers the reader a complete programme of the Semiotics of Law, from the perspective that explores the relation Law and Art in a more open and inquisitive way.
