Abstract
Lisa Siraganian’s Modernism and the Meaning of Corporate Persons (2020) illuminates modernist investigations of corporate personhood and how collective agents might intend, and if so, how they might manifest meaning. Through a magisterial and seamless analysis of cases, legal theory, legal analysis, political cartoons, philosophy and artistic endeavors, Corporate Persons demonstrates that the questions and answers of the modernist era remain salient today. This article highlights firstly the persuasiveness and insight of Siraganian’s analysis of the implications of the failure to fully conceptualize the corporate person. The article then explores the strands of horror in Corporate Persons generated by the “artificial creature” created by law and law’s failure to adequately conceptualize the meaning of corporate persons.
