Abstract

[Law with lyrics and literature: is it possible to tell the development of law?] This study aims to present the possibility of comprehension of the historical development of law through-out the Law and Literature Movement. To do so, it presents the evolution of this ‘movement’ passing by the American, European and Brazilian experiences to distinguish the studies that have been done so far from the thesis hereby presented. This thesis is based on the possibility to considering the musical lyrics as literary texts and understanding and describing development of the law starting from the particular cultural (literary) context from which law and other social rules emerge.
