Psycho-Pass challenges conventional approaches to law and justice in three interconnected ways: the reconfiguration of the sovereign through the cybernetic Sibyl System and the largely unconscious corporeality of Japanese citizens as a politico-legal body; the erasure of courts and displacement of the central zone of legal power into a type of surveillance that compels compliance through coercion, thereby raising the spectre of moral accountability for just violence in the absence of a positivist legal doctrine; and the Sibyl System functions as a legal formalism unmoored from social recognition and thereby constantly stalked by wider social recognition as a threat to its legitimacy and air of justice. This chapter investigates the tensions that envelope the spiralling psycho-legal effectiveness of the Sibyl System in the first and second seasons of Psycho-Pass.","PeriodicalId":291496,"journal":{"name":"Law and Justice in Japanese Popular Culture","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126581880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
