He was, perhaps, the most significant figure to develop a fresh, new Marxist perspective that was to have a dramatic impact in the sociology of law for many years. Although he was "withered" away by the Stalin purges in early 1937 and his writings were expunged from the law universities in the developing Stalinist state by Andrei la. Vyshinsky, Pashukanis, nevertheless, left a legacy which gained a new momentum in the late 1970s. Apart from Pashukanis's activist political interventions in molding the legal landscape in post-revolutionary Russia, his so-called commodity-exchange theory of law spearheaded a perspective that traced the form of law, not to class interests, but to capital logic itself, a logic to which both rich and poor were enslaved. His later critics-to which he gradually de­ ferred more and more-argued that he had omitted the nature of Soviet law during the "transitional period" of the dictator­ ship of the proletariat. But up until his death, Pashukanis con­ tinued to argue for the ideal of the withering away of the state, law and the juridic subject. He eventually arrived at a position contrary to Stalin, who was attempting to consolidate and strengthen the state apparatus under the name of the dictator­ ship of the proletariat. Needless to say, Pashukanis met his fate in January, 1937 when he was branded an enemy of the revolution. His works were subsequently taken off the shelves, viii and his ideas were subjected to a one-sided critique led by Vyshinsky. However, in 1954, he was "rehabilitated" by the Soviets and restored to an acceptable position in the historical development of Marxist law. In Europe and North America, it was not until the late 1970s that a number of legal theorists rediscovered his work, sub­ jected it to careful critical analysis, and realized that he of­ fered an alternative to the traditional Marxist interpretations that saw law simply and purely as tied to class interests of domination. By the mid- 1980s, the instrumental Marxist per­ spective which was in vogue in Marxist sociology, criminol­ ogy, politics, and economics was to give way-due to a sig­ nificant extent to Pashukanis's insights-to a more structural Marxist assessment of the relationship of law to economics and other social spheres. Biographical Sketch Little is known about Pashukanis prior to the 19 17 Revolu­ tion. We do know that he studied at the University of St. Pe­ tersburg before World War I and that he completed his legal training at the University of Munich. He subsequently returned to post-revolutionary Russia, became a Bolshevik, served as a judge in the Moscow area, and in the early 1920s he con­ ducted legal advice for the People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs. In 1924 he wrote what is probably his most influential piece, The General Theory of Law and Marxism, and in the second edition, 1926, stated that this work was not to be seen as a final product but aimed, rather, at "self-clarification" in hopes of adding "stimulus and material for further discussion." A third edition was printed in 1927. Pashukanis's direct involvement in shaping the legal cul­ ture of post-revolutionary Russia, particularly from the 1920s through the mid- 1930s, was extensive and had a significant impact. From 1924 to 1930, he assumed a number of impor­ tant positions in the Soviet political and academic structure. These posts included membership in Piotr 1. Stuchka's Sec­ tion of Law and State and the Institute of Soviet Construction, as well as his tenure as head of the Subsection of the Institute of Soviet Construction on the General Theory of Law and TRANSACTION INTRODUCTION ix State. Under the auspices of the Section of Law and State, Pashukanis, in 1925, co-edited Revolution of the Law, a col­ lection of papers on Lenin's understanding of Marxism and law. That same year he joined the law faculty at Moscow State University and the Institute of Red Professors. Pashukanis was to become a prolific writer on various aspects of law and Marx­ ism. As such, he was involved with various editorial responsi­ bilities of scholarly journals, including his position as found­ ing editor of Revolution and Culture which dealt with the cul­ tural aspects of the October Revolution. By 1930, Pashukanis's influence was pronounced in legal circles, and his commodity-exchange theory of law was domi­ nant in the law curriculum. Within the Communist Academy, two wings of the commodity-exchange perspective were to emerge by the late 1920s: the more moderate wing, initiated by Stuchka, and the more radical wing, represented by Pashukanis. This tension between the two factions led to a great deal of discussion about the function of law in the tran­ sitional period. Stuchka was Pashukanis's main rival in this analysis, but outside of the Communist Academy, A.A. Piontkovsky-a member of the competing Institute of Soviet Law-was also a critic. From 1927 to the early 1930s, the exchange between Stuchka and Pashukanis was to persuade the latter that some of his early statements made in The Gen­ eral Theory of Law and Marxism should be qualified to in­ clude class dimensions in the overall analysis. In June, 1930, the Sixteenth Party Congress saw some of the disagreements between Pashukanis and his critics come to a head. Already, in 1929 Stalin, as General Secretariat, had warned that the class struggle had reached a critical level and that the dictatorship of the proletariat needed consolidation and strengthening. Furthermore, this was the time of the first Five Year Plan, and forced collectivization and massive in­ dustrialization were occurring. The Sixteenth Congress, ipso facto, rejected the idea of the gradual withering away of state and law. At this Congress, Stalin was poignant: "We are for the withering away of the state, while at the same time we stand for strengthening the dictatorship of the proletariat which represents th� most potent and mighty authority of all the state x authorities that have existed down to this time" (cited in Beirne and Sharlet, 1990: 34).

  • Paradigm for the Sociology of Knowledge 1945
    1 Paradigm for the Sociology of Knowledge 1945 The last generation has witnessed the emergence of a special field of sociological inquiry: the sociology of knowledge (Wissenssoziologie). The term “knowledge” must be interpreted very broadly indeed, since studies in this area have dealt with virtually the entire gamut of cultural products (ideas, ideologies, juristic and ethical beliefs, philosophy, science, tech­ nology). But whatever the conception of knowledge, the orientation of this discipline remains largely the same: it is primarily concerned with the relations between knowledge and other existential factors in the society or culture. General and even vague as this formulation of the central purpose may be, a more specific statement will not serve to include the diverse approaches which have been developed. Manifestly, then, the sociology of knowledge is concerned with problems that have had a long history. So much is this the case, that the discipline has found its first historian, Ernst Gruenwald.1 But our primary concern is not with the many antecedents of current theories. There are indeed few present-day observations which have not found previous expression in suggestive aperçus. King Henry IV was being reminded that “Thy wish was father, Harry, to that thought” only a few years before Bacon was writing that “The human understanding is no dry light but receives an Originally published as “Sociology of Knowledge,” in Georges Gurvitch and Wil­ bert E.

  • Crime, Politics, and Punishment: Criminological Research for Political Sociologists
    Crime, Politics, and Punishment: Criminological Research for Political Sociologists Thomas D. Stucky Abstract As a sociologist studying the intersection of crime, punishment and politics, it is often surprising to me how many aspects of political sociology and the study of crime and punishment overlap, and yet, there is often limited cross-fertilization of the two fields. For the sake of brevity in this discussion, I refer to those who study crime, deviance, law, criminal justice, and punishment as criminologists. My goal is to provide an extremely brief “primer” on criminology for political sociologists, in the hopes that a short reading of some issues and research in criminology may stimulate additional theorizing and research, as has so often happened when I have read political sociological work. To do this, I begin with a brief discussion of overlaps in political sociological and criminological perspectives. Following this, I highlight some examples of criminological research which incorporates politics, and would likely interest political sociologists, Then, I highlight a hot button issue in criminology—sex offenses—and suggest some ways that political sociologists could examine recent legislation on sex offenders, and conclude with brief discussions of a few additional areas of overlap for the two disciplines. This is the author's manuscript of the article published in final edited form as: Stucky, T. D. (2013). Crime, Politics, and Punishment: Criminological Research for Political Sociologists. Sociology Compass, 7(7), 561-572. http:/dx.doi.org/10.1111/soc4.12048 1 Introduction As a sociologist studying the intersection of crime, punishment and politics, it sometimes strikes me as odd how infrequently various disciplines (or even sub-disciplines within a field) seem to be able to capitalize on the insights of others, even when the topics they study overlap tremendously.

  • Legal Pluralism, Plurality of Laws, and Legal Practices: Theories, Critiques, and Praxiological Re-Specification
    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF LEGAL STUDIES : ISSUE 1 Legal Pluralism, Plurality of Laws, and Legal Practices: Theories, Critiques, and Praxiological Re-specification Baudouin Dupret* Legal pluralism has become a major theme in socio-legal studies. However, under this very broad denomination, one can identify many different trends which share little but the very basic idea that law is much more than state law. Despite their eclectic character, these many conceptions of legal pluralism also share some common fundamental premises concerning the nature of law, its function, and its relationship with its cultural milieu. This contribution aims at critically addressing these premises and at suggesting some re- specification of the question of law, its plural sources, and the many practices that enfold in relationship with it. In its spirit, this re-specification can be characterised as realistic and praxiological. Indeed, I shall argue that it is at best useless and at worst wrong to start from a label like “legal pluralism” so as to describe something which is presumed to be an instance of such label. My contention here is that law is what people consider as law, nothing more nothing less, and that occurrences of legal plurality are limited to these situations where people explicitly orient themselves to the fragmented spectrum of law. Instead of looking at the hypothetical pluralistic model of law which something like, e.g., Egyptian law, would be an instance of, the task of social scientists is, rather, to describe the situations, the mechanisms and the processes through which people orient to something legal which they identify as pluralistic.

  • The Influence of Sociology on American Jurisprudence: from Oliver Wendell Holmes to Critical Legal Studies
    THE INFLUENCE OF SOCIOLOGY ON AMERICAN JURISPRUDENCE: FROM OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES TO CRITICAL LEGAL STUDIES A. Javier Trevino Marquette University Mid-American Review ofSociology, 1994, Vol XVIII, No. I& 2: 23-46 This paper analyzes the distinctive influence that sociology has had on legal scholarship during the past century. II examines some of Ihe more significant contributions that sociology has made to four of the major jurisprudential "movements" of the twentieth-century: Holmesian legal science, soci%gical jurisprudence. legal Realism. and Critical Legal Studies. In essence, this paper shows how sociology has: (1) contributed to the language of the law some of its more important concepts, (2) given jurisprudence penetrating insight inlo the social dynamics ofthe law, (3) revealed the close relationship which exists between law andthe other social institutions, (4) provided jurisprudence with a positivistic. structural methodology by which to study the law. and (5) inspired a legal approach thaI is perspectival andhermeneutical in orientation. Introduction Several scholars (Geis 1964; Hunt ]978; Hall, Wiecek, and Finkelman 1991 :456457; Horwitz ]992; Vago 1994) have noted the tremendous impact that social science has made on American jurisprudence. My intention in this paper is to engage in a more detailed. extended, and updated analysis than that previously rendered by these scholars, of the distinctive influence that sociology has had on legal scholarship during the last one hundred years or so. The rationale fOf .undertakil)gsl~~h a~ analysis -is to clarify and accentuate the contours of the ongoing discourse between theoretical sociology and jurisprudential thought.

It is concluded that the positivism of North American sociology of literature ignores the historical specificity of contemporary literary forms. Part of the explanation for the perspective of Kenneth Burke and Hugh Duncan is shown to derive from partial elements of the epistemology of the Classical Greeks and Hegelianism. Similarly Luk;csr philosophy of literary criticism are shown to be modifications on a rigidly Marxist econoniic determinism as well as Hegelian idealism. ~ukgcs'concept of literary realism -- in contemporary society as those forms of the novel which portray the specific problems of individuals and classes and the resolution of social contradictions within the "totality of the movement of historyn-- is examined in relation to the pracesses of capitalist development in Europe.

    Control by Proxy: The Regulation of Indigenous Peoples and Settler Labour via Canadian Anti-Sex Work Laws, 1865-2016 Tierney Kobryn-Dietrich, Bachelor of Arts Sociology Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Critical Sociology Faculty of Sociology, Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © 2018 Control by Proxy: The Regulation of Indigenous Peoples and Settler Labour via Canadian Anti-Sex Work Laws, 1865-2016 This thesis is dedicated to the thousands of missing indigenous women across Turtle Island and to their families. Acknowledgments I would like to extend special thanks to my thesis supervisor, Dr. Tamari Kitossa, who provided me his unwavering support and wisdom throughout the entirety of this project. Dr. Ki- tossa believed in my success and in the success of this project long before I did, and for that I will forever be grateful. My experience at Brock University would not have been the same with- out him. I am also grateful for the assistance of my committee, Dr. Kate Bezanson and Dr. Margot Francis, for their inspiration, guidance and thoughtful insights. This project would not have been possible without the support of these knowledgeable and formidable academics. Additionally, I thank my parents, Kim and Stuart, who are always quick to offer me reas- surance when I am struggling. Lastly, I would like to thank my dog, Daisy, who never once com- plained despite being the sole audience member of my multiple draft readings. Abstract This study examines Canada’s history of anti-sex legislation from 1865 to 2016 and demonstrates that these laws exist primarily to maintain the ideological boundaries between whiteness and indigeneity.

  • The Ideal-Realism of Georges Gurvitch Author(S): Fabio Bruschi and Alain Loute Source: Re-Thinking Europe
    The ideal-realism of Georges Gurvitch Author(s): Fabio Bruschi and Alain Loute Source: Re-Thinking Europe. Book Series. Volume 1 – 2011, pp. 32-44 Stable URL: http://www.rethinking-europe.ugent.be/books/1/html/Bruschi-Loute.html The ideal-realism of Georges Gurvitch Fabio Bruschi (Université Catholique de Louvain/ISP/CPDR) Alain Loute (Université Catholique de Louvain/CPDR) In this article we would like to concentrate on the figure of Georges Gurvitch1. Gurvitch developed a considerable body of work in the field of political philosophy, legal science as well as sociology2. But he did not limit himself to theoretical work: he also sought to intervene in and influence the social and political evolution of his time. Thus, while in exile in New York during World War II, in 1944 he wrote The Bill of Social Rights (La déclaration des droits sociaux3), whose purpose was to inspire the constitution of the French Fourth Republic. It is this form of intervention that we would like to focus on here. If it deserves our attention, it is because, beyond its mere historical interest, it allows us to readdress the question of the intellectual intervention of the philosopher in the social realm in an original way. What is unique in Gurvitch’s intervention in the social realm is 32 that it is motivated by a genuine ambition to go beyond the aporia of a purely ideal approach based on the illusion of the omnipotence of ideas, all the while refusing to sacrifice the desire to strengthen the “hold of the ideal over the real”.

Remarks on Petra życki’s Methodology Jan Wole ński University of Information Technology and Management in Rzeszow, Poland e-mail : jan.wolenski@uj.edu.pl Abstract : The paper discusses the concept of adequacy central for Perta życki’s method- ology. According to Petra życki any valuable scientific theory should be ade- quate, that is, neither limping (to broad with respect its actual scope) nor jump- ing (too narrow with respect to its actual scope). Consequently, adequacy of a theory is a stronger condition than its truth. Every adequacy theory is true, but not conversely. However, there is problem, because scientific laws are condi- tionals (implications). This suggests that adequacy is too strong conditions, be- cause the consequence of an implication has a wider scope than its antecedent. Thus, laws should have the form of equivalence. The paper shows how model- theoretic characterization of theories allows to recognize truth and adequacy, consistently with Petra życki’s claims. Keywords : theory, truth, adequacy, model. Leon Petra życki (Eng. spelling: Petra życki) considered methodology of science as the fundament of successful scientific research.
