The lessons that Modernism and the Meaning of Corporate Persons afford are both timely and timeless. The fundamental questions that Siraganian's study poses are perennial ones of legal and philosophical thought regarding corporate personhood ... Siraganian's history both finds possible avenues for wrestling with these questions that we have largely forgotten or ignored, and, in the process, tells a clear story of corporate personhood in the US. In this way, this study is likely to be a touchstone for those interested in law and literature, as well as studies of corporate personhood more broadly.
Modernism and the Meaning of Corporate Persons is a genealogy of a legal concept read through the lens of the aesthetic revolution that occurred simultaneously. It admirably weaves together sustained analyses of case law, legal philosophy, and literature. Scholars interested in legal history, intellectual history, or jurisprudence, will find much to interest them here.
A complex and comprehensive examination of how corporate bodies, though separate from individual persons, might indeed have similar intentionality along with collective inattention ... This is an innovative and insightful study, both timely and universal.
An erudite and impressive book. The final chapter on race and corporate personhood is particularly satisfying ... Siraganian unveils a legal fiction more bizarre and convoluted than could be dreamed up by the most ingenious modernist. Reckoning with this dimension of corporate personhood may prove helpful for challenging America's racial formations and for imagining antiracist alternatives.
"They do everything people do except breathe, die and go to jail for dumping 1.3 million pounds of PCBs in the Hudson River." You may recognize this characterization of corporations from the satire of Stephen Colbert, but it is Lisa Siraganian who unearths the legal and literary foundations of corporate personality in her extraordinary Modernism and the Meaning of Corporate Persons. .... The brilliance of Modernism and the Meaning of Corporate Persons lies in its dedicated multidisciplinarity. Siraganian honors the means and ends of the law, literature, and philosophy and uses their disparate ways of thinking, feeling, and reasoning to illuminate the soulless corporation in all its unnatural personhood
Modernism and the Meaning of Corporate Persons is that rare work that draws upon a genuine mastery of two distinct disciplines, and in so doing generates striking new insights in both. Moving adroitly between US jurisprudence and case history on the one hand and modernist literature on the other, it shows how the legal invention of corporate personhood reverberated well beyond the nation's courts and boardrooms. Indeed, this bold and often-dazzling study reveals the persistence and rigor with which the likes of Gertrude Stein, Muriel Rukeyser, F. Scott Fitzgerald, George Schuyler, and Ralph Ellison used the evolving doctrine of corporate personhood to think through issues as seemingly diverse as authorial intention and the nature of social and political collectives.
Modernism and the Meaning of Corporate Persons offers a compelling argument by opening up, far beyond traditional doctrinal concerns, novel vistas on corporate personhood that will greatly interest both those working in the field of Law and the Humanities and legal professionals. Crisply written, this is a thought-provoking monograph that forces us to reflect on acute philosophical and ethical questions about what it means to be "a person" in every sense of the word.
