520 8 _aThrough close readings of a range of popular Hollywood speculative fiction films including 'The Dark Knight,' 'Unbreakable,' 'I, Robot' and 'The Hobbit,' Timothy Peters explores how fictional worlds, particularly those that 'make strange' the world of the viewer, can render visible and make explicit the otherwise opaque theologies of modern law. He illustrates that speculative cinema's genres of estrangement provide a way for us to see and engage the theological concepts of modern law in our era of late capitalism, global empire and the crises of neoliberalism.
