The abundance of existing literary pieces across the globe demonstrates the
cultural expectations acceptable in traditional and customary practices of society
and surroundings. Whenever the cultural contexts are threatened, the legal
context embraces the conflict and the controlled behaviour. Therefore, cultural
transmission is a manifestation of constituting cultural meaning, initiating
discourse on law, or framing and reimagining law. The literary analyses
examining cultural discourses and narratives render a valuable opportunity to
negotiate legal and non-legal discourse in the conversational passages and in
readings of the texts. The existing literature across the globe is a poetics that
import legalities in literature or the literature with its complex hermeneutics
manifests a lens of cultural meaning. In view of such critical scholarship in
Humanities - the fiction writers and law fiction writers have been read
respectively from the point of narrative legal genres and non-legal material,
which in terms of Kelsenian legal philosophy theory has been classified as texts
of transcendence, dualism, immanence, and pantheism. This Seminar opens up
reader-centric possibilities and investigations in the existing pieces of literary
texts in the light of deconstructing dichotomy of assumptions and presumptions,
unveiling bad and good criticism in the cultural and social relationship,
identifying and responding to the hermeneutic challenge, subverting the
expectations of normative statutes.
