Based on the long-established American law and literature movement, the interdisciplinary research field of 'law and literature' is also beginning to hesitantly establish itself in Europe. The German Collaborative Research Centre (SFB) 1385 'Law and Literature' has provided an important impetus for this development. The present work builds on the latter and aims to develop a contrastive interdisciplinary research method ('legal counterfactual') that claims to offer a methodological basis for the further development of the young research field of 'law and literature'. The particular focus herein is on law in literature. An overview of the heterogeneous research approaches in Italy, France, Belgium, and Germany is first provided. Thereafter, the focus shifts to a theoretical examination of the methodological concepts of interdisciplinarity and counterfactuality on the one hand, and the specific approaches to the text - namely discourse and hermeneutics - on the other. Based on these theoretical 'building blocks', the dividing lines between legal and literary studies are drawn in the first step, to identify the resulting intersections in the second step: the written text as a common working basis on the one hand, and hermeneutics and discourse as a means of analysing texts on the other. The legal discourse in the texts is methodically extracted and contrasted with the real-world legal texts in a juxtaposing manner. The aim of this counterfactual contrast is to determine the degree of correspondence between diegetic and real law. To consolidate this method of legal counterfactuals, five works of contemporary literature are tested and demonstrated in practice: La décision (2022) by Karine Tuil, Sworn Virgin (2014) by Elvira Dones, Unorthodox (2012) by Deborah Feldman, Repenti (2017) by Claude Chossat, and A Slap in the Face (2016) by Abbas Khider. The selection of works is motivated by an interest in touching on different areas of law that have received little attention in interdisciplinary law and literature research to date, such as French anti-terror law, the customary law of the Albanian Kanun, Talmudic law, Corsican feudal vendetta law, and German asylum law.

基於美國長期建立的法律與文學運動，跨學科研究領域「法律與文學」也開始在歐洲逐漸建立起來。德國合作研究中心（SFB）1385「法律與文學」為這一發展提供了重要的推動力。本著作基於後者，旨在發展一種對比的跨學科研究方法（「法律反事實」），該方法聲稱能為年輕的「法律與文學」研究領域的進一步發展提供方法論基礎。本書特別關注文學中的法律in。首先提供意大利、法國、比利時和德國的異質研究方法概述。然後，重點轉向對跨學科性和反事實性方法論概念的理論考察，另一方面則是對文本的具體方法——即話語和詮釋學的探討。基於這些理論「構件」，第一步劃定法律研究與文學研究之間的分界線，以便在第二步識別由此產生的交集：一方面是書面文本作為共同的工作基礎，另一方面是詮釋學和話語作為分析文本的手段。文本中的法律話語以方法論方式提取，並與現實世界的法律文本進行對比。這種反事實對比的目的是確定敘事法律與現實法律之間的對應程度。為了鞏固這種法律反事實的方法，選取了五部當代文學作品進行實踐測試和展示：Karine Tuil的La décision（2022）、Elvira Dones的Sworn Virgin（2014）、Deborah Feldman的Unorthodox（2012）、Claude Chossat的Repenti（2017）和Abbas Khider的A Slap in the Face（2016）。這些作品的選擇是出於對不同法律領域的興趣，這些領域在跨學科的法律與文學研究中至今受到的關注較少，例如法國反恐法律、阿爾巴尼亞Kanun的習慣法、塔木德法律、科西嘉的封建復仇法以及德國的庇護法。
作者簡介
Alexandra Juster is a qualified lawyer in Italy (Laurea in Giurisprudenza) and in France (French Bar examination). She is admitted to the bars in both countries and holds a doctorate in modern German literature. Having studied and lived in Austria, Italy, France, Spain and Germany, she is multilingual (mother tongue German, also fluent in English, French, Spanish and Italian), enabling her to access research sources in their original language and to draw on her knowledge of several legal systems and logics. Combining her legal training with literary skills and publishing experience allows her to move easily between law and literature in an interdisciplinary way. Since the beginning of her academic career in October 2020, when she started research for her dissertation, she has completed three monographs on the contemporary author Juli Zeh. All three monographs deal with literature, law, current social issues and philosophy in an interdisciplinary way. She has also published numerous anonymously reviewed articles on a range of socially relevant topics, as well as delivering conference presentations. This volume, Law, Literature and Legal Counterfactuals, stems from a research project at the University of Innsbruck, which was funded by the Austrian FWF.

亞歷山德拉·尤斯特（Alexandra Juster） 是一位在義大利（法學學位）和法國（法國律師考試）合格的律師。她在這兩個國家的律師公會中均有執業資格，並擁有現代德國文學的博士學位。她曾在奧地利、義大利、法國、西班牙和德國學習和生活，精通多種語言（母語為德語，流利使用英語、法語、西班牙語和義大利語），使她能夠以原文獲取研究資料，並利用她對多個法律系統和邏輯的了解。將她的法律訓練與文學技能和出版經驗相結合，使她能夠在法律和文學之間以跨學科的方式自如切換。自2020年10月開始她的學術生涯以來，當時她開始為她的論文進行研究，她已完成三部關於當代作家朱莉·澤（Juli Zeh）的專著。這三部專著以跨學科的方式探討文學、法律、當前社會問題和哲學。她還發表了多篇經匿名審稿的文章，涵蓋一系列社會相關主題，並進行了會議報告。本書《法律、文學與法律反事實》源於奧地利因斯布魯克大學的一個研究項目，該項目由奧地利FWF資助。
