Interdisciplinary studies in Anthropology and Law (also called “Legal Anthropology”) include the following general subject areas (among others): human rights; the clash of non-western and western cultural beliefs and related legal structures; legal pluralism in multicultural settings; rights of minorities and religious groups; criticisms of racial concepts; rights of indigenous peoples, including land claims and intellectual property rights in their cultural beliefs and knowledge; non-western and alternative methods of dispute or conflict resolution; and analysis of the cultural dynamics at play within western legal systems.

Set forth below is a non-exhaustive list of books, articles, and other resources that address a number of these issues. Part I lists books and articles. Part II lists journals that publish primarily on related topics. Part III lists some internet resources, including associations, online journal archives, law and anthropology resources, and legal studies information.

Please note: Sources presenting interdisciplinary studies concerning Social Norms and Law are listed in a separate bibliography. Also available online are the syllabus and a list of potential paper topics for this Anthropology and Law seminar.

Other available resource lists include:

Sources on Racism, Law, and Social Sciences; Sources on Social Norms and Law; and Sources on Analysis of Social Group Identities.

    A History of Legal Anthropology and the Next Generation of Research at the Intersection of Language, Ideology, and Power

    John Curran (B.A. candidate) for Professor Joel C. Kuipers STATES OF THE ART: A History of Legal Anthropology and the Next Generation of Research at the Intersection of Language, Ideology, and Power INTRODUCTION 1. Purposes and Scope of the Paper The anthropology of law is perhaps as old as anthropology itself, tracing its origins back to Malinowski’s fieldwork in the Trobriands and, earlier, the evolutionary speculation of Sir Henry Maine. For much of its existence, legal anthropology has remained a subject without a stable center, attracting an “enormous diversity in the range of issues investigated, the theoretical orientations advocated, [and] the research methods used.”1 In this essay, I review the overall development of the anthropology of law, its leading works, and prevailing theoretical orientations through different eras. I also examine the various dominant approaches in legal anthropology today, and attempt to explain their recent convergence on an interest in the role of language in legal contexts. I will conclude by suggesting an important and promising direction for the next generation of research in legal anthropology. IN THE BEGINNING In the latter half of the nineteenth century, as public interest in human evolution was beginning to take hold, a diverse assortment of professional academics and amateur 1 Danet (1990:538), “Language and the Law: An Overview of 15 Years of Research,” in Handbook of Language and Social Psychology, Giles & Robinson, eds., (London: Wiley); See also Twining 1964:34-35, (“…the enormous diversity of purpose, method[,] and emphasis of different writers.”) See also Moore (1970:270) cited in Comaroff & Roberts (1981) at 3.

Baines1 Research survey in Canada I carried out a preliminary research survey of five weeks duration - July and August 1995 - in some of the principal academic centres of anthropology with aboriginal peoples in Canada, financed with a Faculty Research Scholarship from the Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a research grant from the Brazilian National Research Council (CNPq). I refer to my stay in Canada as a preliminary research survey, since such a short stay could not be classified as research. In this paper I in no way aim to outline a history of the discipline, a task already done by many Canadian anthropologists, and which I am by no means qualified to do, but merely comment on my first impressions from an outsider perspective, and try to piece together and juxtapose some of the viewpoints of anthropologists interviewed. I visited the departments of anthropology at the Université de Montréal and McGill University in Montreal, Laval University in Quebec city, the University of Waterloo and the University of Toronto, in Ontario, and also visited Ottawa. From Toronto, I travelled by coach across Canada to British Columbia, where I made short visits to the university Program of First Nation Studies of the Secwepemc (Shuswap) Cultural Education Society and Simon Fraser University (SCES/SFU), in Kamloops; the Shuswap reserves of Adam's Lake and Skeetchestn; the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) in Prince George; the Witsuwit'en reserve of Moricetown; the University of British Columbia (UBC) and Simon Fraser University in Vancouver; as well as Victoria, capital of BC.

LEGAL ANTHROPOLOGY COMES HOME: A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ETHNOGRAPHIC STUDY OF LAW John M. Conley* William M. O'Barr** I. INTRODUCTION Anthropology is a relative newcomer to the ranks of the social sci- ences. It began to emerge as an autonomous field in the second half of the nineteenth century when a diverse array of scholars and speculators converged around such issues as the defining characteristics of humanity and the nature and origins of human society. In the topics they chose to pursue, the way they framed their questions, and the strategies they used to find answers, these nascent anthropologists were strongly influenced by the disciplines from which they had come. An early and significant example of this interdisciplinary influence is the famous Cambridge Anthropological Expedition to the Torres Straits of 1898.1 The expedition was organized by Alfred Cort Haddon, a zool- ogy professor who had a brief and unsuccessful career in his father's printing business.2 Its purpose was to comprehensively survey the physi- cal characteristics, language, culture, and thought patterns of the in- habitants of the straits separating New Guinea and Australia.

    ANTHROPOLOGY AND LAW 1ST EDITION PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Donovan | 9781571814241 | | | | | Anthropology and Law 1st edition PDF Book His book is a plea for the relevance of the anthropological investigation of law not as an end in itself, but to enable the discipline to contribute — empirically grounded in the analysis of living legal pluralism — to a theory of the relationship of cosmopolitanism and the rule of law in globalized capitalism. If the problem persists, please try again in a little while. Carneiro Henri J. Within modern English Theory, law is a discrete and specialized topic. Circumscription theory Legal anthropology Left—right paradigm State formation Political economy in anthropology Network Analysis and Ethnographic Problems. Legal Anthropology provides a definition of law which differs from that found within modern legal systems. Goodale offers intellectual history, social theory, and politico-legal analysis in an accessible overview of a field that, in his hands, returns to the most ambitious questions of our time, the place of law in social development, political transition, protection of the dispossessed and marginalized, and, the ultimate anthropological question, how identity is shaped, how law influences who we are and how we belong. As culture is not bounded and unchanging, there are multiple discourses and moral viewpoints within any community and among the various actors in such events Merry Anthropology, for example, offers a cross-culturally validated generic concept of "law," and clarifies other important legal concepts such as "religion" and "human rights. Michael Banton ed. Paul Bohannan promotes the use of native terminology presented with ethnographic meaning as opposed to any Universal categories, which act as barriers to understanding the true nature of a culture's legal system.

Fear, Space and Urban Planning: A Critical Perspective from Southern Europe, by Simone Tulumello (Springer International Publishing Switzerland, 2017). Securitization now shapes almost every dimension of most people’s lives, affecting everything from football matches to refugee reception, urban planning to outer space. And, of course, airports. A recent experience I had while traveling back to London gave me a particularly affect- laden insight into anthropologists’ burgeoning interest in security regimes. It gave me a sense of how overwhelming the emotions that are a constituent part of securitization can be. It also highlighted how important it is that ethnographers not stop at investigating affect alone, but push beyond to understand the material and structural dynamics that are also driving the security-saturation of the globe these days. I had set off the alarm in the metal detector at a Sicilian airport. “It must be that mysterious area of my right ankle that inexplicably shows up on screens across the globe’s airport security systems,” I thought. As predicted, I was asked to step aside to be frisked by a female security guard.

Notes from the Field: Tanzania & Denmark Obituaries: Tom Hargrove & Joffre Coe Society for Anthropology Students Some Views of Instructional Technologies News From the RLA Interview with the Chair: "Really Excited About This Department" In this issue of Anarchaey Notes, we are foregoing our past custom of asking the Chair to write a special column, "Notes from the Chair," simply because it has been almost impossible for Dorothy (Dottie) Holland, our Department Chair, to find time to write it, given her torrid schedule of Chairly commitments and activities. (Did we mention she has also been a formidable researcher, writer, advisor, and teacher while serving as Chair?) Instead, in March 2001, your redoubtable Editorial crew (Don Nonini and Seth Murray) caught up with Dottie Holland to interview her for a few calm minutes in her otherwise hectic and drama-filled day. Don Nonini: Dottie, good afternoon. What do you think the most important changes have been in the Department of Anthropology during the five years of your tenure as Chair? Dorothy Holland: Well, let me say that I think this [interview] is a great idea, and it's much better than "Notes from the Chair". What I think has happened, for one thing, we've added nine new faculty. We have a reasonable and stable TA [teaching assistant] budget. There are other things too but I'll mention some things that I think are distinctive.

    Law and Anthropology

    Law and Anthropology Monday, December 18, 2017 Dear colleagues, We have the pleasure to announce the launch of a new research platform dedicaced to legal anthropology, named Law & Anthropology (https://leggy.hypotheses.org). This new blog is dedicated to news, analysis and debates on legal anthropology. The platform seeks to account regularly for recent scientific activity in the field of legal anthropology, mainly in Europe but on other continents as well. Its goal is to highlight scientific works that try to explain what law is from an anthropological point of view. Therefore, we are interested in all fields of anthropology exploring legal/normative phenomena : legal anthropology strictly speaking, anthropology of institutions, historical anthropology, kinship anthropology, political anthropology, etc. The blog will include calls for papers, dates of upcoming conferences and symposia, new publications (whether books, reviews, or articles), updates on doctoral training programs, upcoming Ph.D. defense announcements, creation of virtual exhibitions, bibliographic information, and interviews with actors in this field. The platform is run by French and European researchers involved in legal anthropology. If you would like any related news to be published on the platform, please write to [email protected]. Please write to the same address if you are willing to register yourself, your research center or your teachings in our online legal anthropology directory (http://leggy.hypotheses.org/chercheurs). Please precise your identity, your institution, your official functions, the cultural area you are specialized into, and your research fields. You may also mention a link to a personal website. We do thank you in advance for your collaboration.

Talesh, E. Mertz, & H. Klug, Edward Elgar, Cheltenham, UK. ABSTRACT This introductory chapter shows the distinctive qualities of New Legal Realism (NLR), captures where it stands around its fifteenth anniversary, and explains the goal of the larger book. In doing so, we demonstrate NLR’s fruitful continuation of the legal realist adventure as it reaches beyond historical and national boundaries to form new international conversations, based heavily on law-and-society networks and traditions. In addition, we provide a contrast to Empirical Legal Studies, because the NLR project clearly visible in this volume does not just use quantitative methods to study lawyers and legal institutions as they have been traditionally viewed. Instead, it includes chapters by social scientists and law professors using social science theory and multiple methods to understand law and address legal problems – across an impressive variety of subject areas such as immigration, policing, globalization, legal education, and access to justice.
