Sarah Marusek is assistant professor at the University of Hawaii at Hilo. She has written extensively on law and society, legal semiotics, and jurisprudence, and serves on the editorial board of the International Journal for the Semiotics of Law.'Law is everywhere, even in parking spaces. In this fascinating study of the constitutive role of law, Sarah Marusek shows how parking rules both reflect and create rights and identities. By focusing on the banal and everyday, this book shows vividly how law is multiple and multiply constitutive of many dimensions of social life.' Sally Engle Merry, New York University, USA 'This book explores innovative ways of communication, bringing together law and language under the comprehensive rubrics of Cultural Visual Studies. Politics of Parking promotes newly emerging issues on visual studies, encouraging researchers and scholars to deepen their knowledge on the theory, practice and pedagogy of legal visual studies.' Anne Wagner, Université du Littoral Côte d'Opale, France '... In sum, this is a challenging, nuanced and creative piece of scholarship which in its sustained focus on the social, legal and political practices relating to parking enlivens and illuminates our grasp of space, law and everyday life.'
