La s\u00e9rie Game of Thrones et la saga litt\u00e9raire du Tr\u00f4ne de Fer dont elle est tir\u00e9e connaissent un retentissement mondial. Au sein de cet univers de fiction d\u00e9peignant une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 m\u00e9di\u00e9vale brutale, cruelle, int\u00e9grant quelques \u00e9l\u00e9ments fantastiques tels les dragons, on ne compte plus les meurtres, viols, incestes, tortures et autres actions bl\u00e2mables, \u00e0 tel point que le droit et la justice y semblent absents. C\u2019est pourtant tout l\u2019inverse. Il existe un droit propre au monde de Game of Thrones. Un individu ressuscit\u00e9 par magie, par exemple, demeure-t-il une personne au regard du droit et conserve-t-il les liens juridiques qu\u2019il avait pu nouer avant sa mort ? Un mur de glace de plusieurs dizaines de m\u00e8tres de haut constituet-il une fronti\u00e8re au sens juridique du terme ? De m\u00eame, de quel droit est-il question \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9gard des personnages f\u00e9minins pr\u00e9sent\u00e9s dans la s\u00e9rie ? C\u2019est \u00e0 toutes ces interrogations, et \u00e0 bien d\u2019autres m\u00ealant toutes les disciplines juridiques, que les auteurs apportent des r\u00e9ponses en convoquant leur connaissance de la fiction et du droit. Cet ouvrage entend d\u00e9montrer que l\u2019\u00e9tude de l\u2019un peut s\u2019enrichir des apports de l\u2019autre. Se voulant accessible \u00e0 tous \u2013 n\u00e9ophytes du droit comme de Game of Thrones, ou naturellement juristes confirm\u00e9s comme fans inconditionnels de la saga \u2013, il s\u2019agit l\u00e0 d\u2019une autre preuve que, comme le veut l\u2019adage, le droit est v\u00e9ritablement partout. Il l\u2019est donc aussi dans Game of Thrones.<\/p>\n

The television show Game of Thrones and the literary saga of the Iron Throne on which it’s based have had a world-wide impact. At the center of this fictional universe depicting a medieval society that is brutal and cruel, which includes some fantasy elements such as dragons, we can barely count the number of murders, rapes, examples of incest, torture and other blameworthy actions, to the point that it seems as if law and justice don’t even exist. In fact, the opposite is true. There is a legal system in Game of Thrones. Is a person brought back from the dead by magic still a human being in the eyes of the law and does he still maintain the legal relationships that he created before his death? Is a wall of ice several tens of meters high a legal boundary? In addition, what law governs the women presented in the series? The authors of this book, applying their knowledge of fiction and law, respond to these questions and many others involving all areas of law. This work demonstrates that the study of one area can be enriched by contributions from the other. Accessible to all–beginners in the study of law as well as in Game of Thrones, or those who are both law-trained and also confirmed Game of Thrones fans–it presents yet another proof that, as the saying goes, law is everywhere. It is thus also in Game of Thrones.  (Trans: Ed.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
