Law and media ecology at a tea party: Engaging with the invisibilities within the law

The present work advances knowledge by placing law and media ecology in a dialogue. It demonstrates that using the theoretical framework of media ecology creates new insights. Its use enables legal scholars to identify and analyse invisibilities in the law. By engaging with such invisibilities, legal scholars can become more self-reflective about how they engage with the law. They can gain a different perspective on legal issues and reframe how they understand these issues. As a result, the legal community becomes better positioned to propose new approaches to tackling legal problems. The article uses numerous case studies. Two case studies involve law and emotion scholarship. The third case study focuses on scholarship, which examines the sensory dimension of law.
