Conceptions in the Code: How Metaphors Explain Legal Challenges in Digital Times

Stefan Larson (Lund University), Conceptions in the Code: How Metaphors Explain Legal Challenges in Digital Times (Oxford Univ. Press 2017).

"Stefan Larsson's Conceptions in the Code makes a significant contribution to sociolegal analysis, representing a valuable contribution to conceptual metaphor theory. By utilising the case of copyright in a digital context it explains the role that metaphor plays when the law is dealing with technological change, displaying both conceptual path-dependence as well as what is called non-legislative developments in the law."
