The Expanding Spaces of Law: A Timely Legal Geography
The Expanding Spaces of Law: A Timely Legal Geography
Cite
Abstract
Legal geography argues that nearly every aspect of law is located, takes place, is in motion, or has some spatial frame of reference. In other words, law is always “worlded” in some way. Likewise, every bit of social space, lived places, and landscapes is inscribed with legal significance. Such fragments of a socially segmented world—the where of law—are not simply inert sites; they are also inextricably implicated in how law happens. The Expanding Spaces of Law offers a collection of innovative chapters that extend the reach of legal geography by opening this academic project up to new perspectives, new problematics, new topics, and—crucially—new voices. The contributors include both recognized and emerging scholars whose home disciplines are law, geography, sociology, and anthropology, and whose primary commitment is to deepening interdisciplinary modes of social inquiry. The introduction presents a thorough overview of the project from its inception in the 1980s through its bridge-building phase in the 1990s, to the more pluralistic, transdisciplinary work of the twenty-first century, suggesting directions for future research. Substantive chapters cover sophisticated critiques of the concepts of time and temporality that inform conventional approaches to legal space; the utility of pragmatism, ethnomethodology, comparative law, and procedural law; spatio-legal studies of the military, street vending, rurality; and governing through emotions at work.
