摘要
法律人类学和法律社会学有许多共同之处,但传统上这两个学科都在努力保持彼此之间的界限。至20世纪90年代以来,这些学科之间界限的漏洞越来越多,学术上对于学科边界的划分似乎越来越难以说服相关领域的实践者。这一进展为近年来出现于法律人类学、法律社会学、官僚机构的民族志研究和组织社会学交界处的国家人类学的一个次级学科所证实。在本导论中,我们建议在官方法的民族志研究中,有意识地突破法律人类学、法律社会学和国家人类学之间的传统界限。我们以本专刊所载文章(包括实证研究和评论)的研究为基础,重新描绘了突破学科界限的几种路径以及由此可能导致的理论上的再概念化,包括:将国家法律制度的实践视作同时具有正式的非正式形式和非正式的正式形式;从社会空间隐喻转向考察作为民族志研究对象的官方法律场所和空间;以及在更广的实践领域研究官方法中的规范制定行为。
Legal anthropology and legal sociology have much in common.Traditionally,however,these approaches have tried to maintain disciplinary boundaries toward each other.Latest since the 1990s,these boundaries have become more and more porous and the academic practices of boundary-making do seem to convince practitioners of these fields less and less.The recent emergence of a subfield of the anthropology of the state situated at the interface of legal anthropology,legal sociology,ethnographic studies of bureaucracies and organizational sociology attests to this development.In this introduction,we propose to consciously transgress the traditional boundaries between legal anthropology,legal sociology and the anthropology of the state when it comes to the ethnographic investigation of official law.Based on the contributions to this special issue-consisting of empirical articles and commentaries—we map several avenues for boundary transgressions and the theoretical reconceptualizations these may engender.Among them are:looking at legal institutions of the state as practicing both informal formality and formal informality;moving from socio-spatial metaphors to investigating official law-places andspaces as ethnographic objects;and studying norm-making within official law as a wider field of practice.
