This book argues for an understanding of popular culture and law as mutually constitutive discourses. Drawing upon theories of critical legal pluralism, psychological and literary theories of narrative, and interdisciplinary theories of post-humanism, it is held that works of critical dystopia, particularly those in the genre of bio-punk, and the beliefs and behaviours of eco-terrorists, provide examples of shared narrative and normative commitments that constitute law just as fully as does the state when it legislates and adjudicates. Resistance also has rules, and presumptively lawful subjects are responsible for meeting obligations derived from narrative and normative commitments.
