Schreber was not only a successful judge, but was also to become the author of one of the most commented upon texts in psychiatric literature, \u003ci\u003eMemoirs of My Nervous Illness\u003c\/i\u003e. Published in 1903, this remarkable work documented Schreber\u0026amp;#x2019;s visions, desires, jurisprudence, and theology. Far from ending the judge\u0026amp;#x2019;s legal investments, it manifested an intensification of engagement with the law in the attempt to prove that becoming a woman did not deprive the judge of legal competence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSchreber\u0026amp;#x2019;s experience of bodily change and his account of interior life has been the subject of more than a century of psychoanalytic and medical scrutiny. With the contemporary trans turn, interest in the judge\u0026amp;#x2019;s desire to become a woman has intensified. In\u003ci\u003e Laws of Transgression, \u003c\/i\u003ePeter Goodrich, Katrin Trüstedt, and contributing authors set out to unfold Schreber\u0026amp;#x2019;s complex relation to the law. The collection revisits and rediscovers the \u003ci\u003eMemoirs, \u003c\/i\u003enot only in its juridical and political implications, but as a transgressional text that has challenged law and heteronormativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003ePeter Goodrich and Katrin Truestedt \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter One: Schreber\u0026amp;#x2019;s cases: Escaping from rational law\u003cbr\u003eWerner Gephart \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Primal Scene\u003cbr\u003eMark Sanders \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Three: \"Because God Wishes It\": The Place of God in Schreber\u0026amp;#x2019;s Minor Jurisprudence\u003cbr\u003eRajgopal Saikumar \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Four: Schreber\u0026amp;#x2019;s Double Process: Legal and Literary transformations in the Memoirs of my Nervous Illness\u003cbr\u003eKatrin Truestedt \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Five: Address without Signature: Schreber\u0026amp;#x2019;s Memoirs and the Manning-Lamo Chat Logs\u003cbr\u003eLudwig Schmitz \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Six: Embodied Critique and Posthuman(ist) Legal Futures\/Things Worth More than Being Thought\/Judge Schreber\/Madness\/Think!\u003cbr\u003eDaniela Gandorfer \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Seven: Schreber\u0026amp;#x2019;s Grande Bellezza\u003cbr\u003ePatricia Gherovici \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Eight: On Gifted Schizophrenia\u003cbr\u003eW.J.T.
