This article discusses the background and contributions of Cornelia Vismann, a German legal historian and legal theorist, and explores her relationship with French high theory, as well as her research in the field of media theory.
In the Anglophone world of law, the German legal historian and legal theorist Cornelia Vismann (1961-2010) is best known as an acute interpreter of French high theory, especially of Jacques Derrida, Jacques Lacan, and Michel Foucault. This type of reception is, I argue, somewhat distorted. For her English-speaking colleagues, French poststructuralism provides the interface that enables Vismann to enter into shared discursive constellations with her Anglo-American critical legal colleagues. But at the same time, such a reception also downplays the very specifically German soil from which her unique scholarship arose. This Article discusses Vismann's German background as media theory, the discipline that she was mostly associated with by her compatriots. The Article then assesses what Vismann's media-theoretical contributions potentially offer to the contemporary study of law. For this other Vismann, the media-theoretical study of law was, I suggest, a practically oriented critical discipline that focused on law's cultural techniques and how they operated. I also briefly touch upon what is generally known as German media theory through key figures such as Friedrich A. Kittler and Bernhard Siegert.
