PREFACE

T h e most ancient of the Western mythologies of the foundation of law, that of the decalogue, tells the story of an order of legal writing established against the disorder of images. The writing and rewriting of the law took place around the destruction of an idol. The idol in question, the golden calf or Osiris, has been variously interpreted as representing Egypt, plurality, or feminine deities and cults of creativity. The foundational story of the writing of law is predicated upon destroying or outlawing idols, the images of other laws, of different forms of representation and of gender. The story of foundation establishes an iconic order of legality as writing, speech, or text whose letters or literae will banish both the use and the meaning of images and the other idols or figures of thought. This study will pursue this narrative or trauma of social foundation primarily through the example of early modern discourses of foundation of common law. It will be argued that the inaugural doctrinal discourses or treatises of common law inherit or replicate the structures of classical Western patristic writings and their theological and latterly secular narratives of legality. The common law too can be studied in terms of an originary trauma or misrecognition of identity. The Anglican legal tradition was born of the Reformation and of the new form of letters, the printed text. In doctrinal terms it developed initially as an aspect of the protest against images and established itself through discourses against the distraction of images and the idols of the mind. It built its doctrine and identity against the ornaments of Rome and the sophistries of the Continentals. It also wrote itself against women, the living images which threatened to confuse the spirit or truth of law through mere appearance and "carnal pretence." The following study will thus interpret the foundation of common law ix

PREFACE

primarily through a historical analysis of Renaissance and Reformation debates on the history, uses, and laws governing images. In that respect it offers an analysis of those foundational debates within ecclesiastical and secular law that first spelled out the terms of the modern governance of perception, the direction of thought through control of the visual, the figures of law both internal and external to its subjects and its texts. The argument builds upon the historical enfolding of spiritual and temporal discourses concerned with the governance of the soul, with spiritual laws variously directed at idolatry and iconoclasm, image and figure, statue and law. The development of secular doctrines concerned with governance of text, interpretation and ethos in the reformed age of print established both the form and the meaning of law. The analysis thus suggests both a displacement and an incorporation of one law in the other: the secular law inherited or otherwise annexed or absorbed the earlier powers, techniques, and jurisdictions of the spiritual law and its "Courts of Conscience." The laws against images became protocols of reading or hermeneutic rules prohibiting images, figures or, in strict terms, harlots, "loose women," "the whore of Babel" in the lawful text. The argument uses history as a means of thinking the terms of a critical jurisprudence and may be addressed synoptically: the regulation of the visible was always in essence a determination of the licit forms and the proper references to the invisible or unseen. The regulation of exterior images was directed at control of interior images, mental idols, or unseen signs. In short, the visible was "a spectacle of things invisible," and the governance of visibility was in consequence a direction of things heard, remembered, desired, or imagined as the customs or precedents of common law. The discourses against rhetoric, against images, and against women that this work traces and expounds are discourses of the foundation of law in the definition and capture of subjectivity. They spell out the laws or constraints of thought in the inaugural discourses of social being and its constitutive texts. It remains to be added that while law is always a governance of thought and so can perhaps be most radically rethought as such, it also constitutes itself upon an unthought—upon custom, repetition, and repression. Law, for Aristotle, was "wisdom without desire." In a literal sense that reference could be taken as meaning that law is a truth that represses desire, a text that negates its images and denies the figurations or fluidity of its texts. In a sense which will to many seem extreme, the analysis also suggests a logic of the supplement or return of the repressed. In this aspect this work seeks to represent some of the more obscure texts of the tradition, some of the forgotten themes and works of early legal doctrine, the other faces or "other scenes" of the institution. The critical analytic suggestion embodied in this text thus concerns a politics of recupera-

tion, of recovery of the traumas that law cannot consider, of recollection of the repressed and failed images, figures, texts, and thoughts prohibited by the prose of doctrine, by the language of judgment, by the protocols of a wisdom without desire. Some time after imagining the title Oedipus Lex, I was alerted to the existence of another use of the neologism in a jurisprudential context by the Canadian jurist Professor J. C. Smith in a book titled The Psychoanalytic Roots of Patriarchy: The Neurotic Foundations of Social Order (New York: New York University Press, 1990). My use of the term is, I believe, sufficiently incidental and certainly adequately displaced to excuse the unconscious borrowing. The signifier floats. So too I should apologize for my neologism "gynaetopia." It should, of course, be the phonetically more complex genitive, "gynaecotopia." I have simply preferred the bastard form. So also, for reasons that are self-evident, ins interruptus is preferred to the grammatical ius interruptum. My thanks to the usual causes, women, men, and institutions. The British Academy, the Nuffield Foundation, and Birkbeck College all provided small research grants which gready facilitated comparative and archival research. My thanks to those at Cardozo Law School, New York, who collectively tolerated my presence and sharpened my thought over a semester as visiting professor. Arthur Jacobson, David Carlson, Chuck Yablon, Marty Slaughter, Michel Rosenfeld, Jeanne Schroeder, and Richard Weisberg all politely and perspicuously challenged my cultural prejudices and my theoretical preconceptions. I hope to repeat the experience. At Lancaster University my thanks to my colleagues in opposition, to Peter Rush, Alison Young, Les Moran, and Piyel Haldar for their extremism and their scholarship. My disparate thanks to Renata Salecl, Peter Fitzpatrick, Neil Duxbury, Matthew Weait, and Tim Murphy, all of whom were at times either sufficiently direct or simply rude enough to say what they thought. For their peripatetic style of scholarship, for their voice, and for their imagination, my thanks to Tony Carty, Patrick Durkin, Linda Mills, Ronnie Warrington, David Walliker, and Costas Douzinas. For glimpses of an authentic augury of thought and for lessons in the sorcery of history and of writing, my thanks to Yifat Hachamovitch and to the birds.
