Colonizing Hawai'i: The Cultural Power of Law Sally Engle Merry PrincetonUP, 2000

How does law transform family, sexuality, and community in the fractured social world characteristic of the colonizing process? The law was a cornerstone of the so-called civilizing process of nineteenth-century colonialism. It was simultaneously a means of transformation and a marker of the seductive idea of civilization. Sally Engle Merry reveals how, in Hawai'i, indigenous Hawaiian law was displaced by a transplanted Anglo-American law as global movements of capitalism, Christianity, and imperialism swept across the islands. The new law brought novel systems of courts, prisons, and conceptions of discipline and dramatically changed the marriage patterns, work lives, and sexual conduct of the indigenous people of Hawai'i.

nexusstc/Governance by Indicators: Global Power through Classification and Rankings/6e450789006aaaf92a72f5343aa23b07.pdf

Governance by Indicators: Global Power through Classification and Rankings (Law and Global Governance) Kevin Davis, Angelina Fisher, Benedict Kingsbury, Sally Engle Merry Oxford University Press [in association with] Institute for International Law and Justice, New York University School of Law, Law and Global Governance, 1, 2012

The use of indicators as a technique of global governance is increasing rapidly. Major examples include the World Bank's Doing Business Indicators, the World Bank's Good Governance and Rule of Law indicators, the Millennium Development Goals, and the indicators produced by Transparency International. Human rights indicators are being developed in the UN and regional and advocacy organizations. The burgeoning production and use of indicators has not, however, been accompanied by systematic comparative study of, or reflection on, the implications, possibilities, and pitfalls of this practice. This book furthers the study of these issues by examining the production and history of indicators, as well as relationships between the producers, users, subjects, and audiences of indicators. It also explores the creation, use, and effects of indicators as forms of knowledge and as mechanisms of making and implementing decisions in global governance. Using insights from case studies, empirical work, and theoretical approaches from several disciplines, the book identifies legal, policy, and normative implications of the production and use of indicators as a tool of global governance.

Anthropology and Law : A Critical Introduction Mark Goodale; Sally Engle Merry New York University Press, Open Road Integrated Media, Inc., [N.p.], 2017

An introduction to the anthropology of law that explores the connections between law, politics, and technology From legal responsibility for genocide to rectifying past injuries to indigenous people, the anthropology of law addresses some of the crucial ethical issues of our day. Over the past twenty-five years, anthropologists have studied how new forms of law have reshaped important questions of citizenship, biotechnology, and rights movements, among many others. Meanwhile, the rise of international law and transitional justice has posed new ethical and intellectual challenges to anthropologists. Anthropology and Law provides a comprehensive overview of the anthropology of law in the post-Cold War era. Mark Goodale introduces the central problems of the field and builds on the legacy of its intellectual history, while a foreword by Sally Engle Merry highlights the challenges of using the law to seek justice on an international scale. The book's chapters cover a range of intersecting areas including language and law, history, regulation, indigenous rights, and gender. For a complete understanding of the consequential ways in which anthropologists have studied, interacted with, and critiqued, the ways and means of law, Anthropology and Law is required reading.

The Social Organization of Law: Introductory Readings [edited by] Austin Sarat; foreword by Sally Engle Merry Roxbury Publishing Company, Los Angeles, Calif, California, 2004

"Austin Sarat's The Social Organization of Law: Introductory Readings begins with a simple premise--law seeks to work in the world, to order, change, and give meaning to society--and describes legal processes as socially organized. This book connects legal studies to the study of society in two different senses. First, the readings highlight law's responsiveness to various dimensions of social stratification. They also draw attention to the questions of when, why, and how legal decisions and actions respond to the social characteristics (e.g. race, class, and gender) of those making the decisions as well as those who are subject to them. These questions inevitably raise issues of justice and fairness, highlighting the moral dimensions of legal life. Second, Sarat treats law itself as a social organization, emphasizing the complex relations between its various component parts (e.g., judges and jurors, police and prosecutors, appellate courts, and trial courts). The book examines the traditional subject of professional legal study--namely appellate court opinions--and describes some of the most pressing controversies of legal interpretation while questioning how those opinions take on meaning in social life. Sarat also questions whether those at the top of law's bureaucratic structure effectively control the behavior of others in the legal system's chain of command. This anthology provides accessible, up-to-date materials (such as readings on terrorism and the challenges it poses to law, racial profiling, and gay rights) juxtaposed to the classics of the field. Introductions to each reading, along with the notes and questions written by the author, unpack the issues and engage students, enabling them to link the material from one chapter to another. Additional suggested readings provide stimulus for further inquiry. The Social Organization of Law offers students a broad perspective that treats law as a set of institutions and practices combining moral argument, distinctive interpretive traditions, and the social organization of violence.

Human Rights and Gender Violence: Translating International Law into Local Justice (Chicago Series in Law and Society) SALLY ENGLE MERRY, Merry, Sally Engle, Sally Engle Merry University of Chicago Press; University Of Chicago Press, 2006, 2006

Human rights law and the legal protection of women from violence are still fairly new concepts. As a result, substantial discrepancies exist between what is decided in the halls of the United Nations and what women experience on a daily basis in their communities. Human Rights and Gender Violence is an ambitious study that investigates the tensions between global law and local justice. As an observer of UN diplomatic negotiations as well as the workings of grassroots feminist organizations in several countries, Sally Engle Merry offers an insider's perspective on how human rights law holds authorities accountable for the protection of citizens even while reinforcing and expanding state power. Providing legal and anthropological perspectives, Merry contends that human rights law must be framed in local terms to be accepted and effective in altering existing social hierarchies. Gender violence in particular, she argues, is rooted in deep cultural and religious beliefs, so change is often vehemently resisted by the communities perpetrating the acts of aggression. A much-needed exploration of how local cultures appropriate and enact international human rights law, this book will be of enormous value to students of gender studies and anthropology alike.

Getting Justice and Getting Even : Legal Consciousness among Working-Class Americans (Language and Legal Discourse Series) (Chicago Series in Law and Society) Merry, Sally Engle, 1944- Chicago: University of Chicago Press, Language and legal discourse, Chicago, London, England, 1990

Ordinary Americans Often Bring Family And Neighborhood Problems To Court, Seeking Justice Or Revenge. The Litigants In These Local Squabbles Encounter Law At Its Boundaries In The Corridors Of Busy City Courthouses, In The Offices Of Court Clerks, And In The Church Parlors Used By Mediation Programs. Getting Justice And Getting Even Concerns The Legal Consciousness Of Working Class Americans And Their Experiences With Court And Mediation. Following Cases Into And Through The Courts, Sally Engle Merry Provides An Ethnographic Study Of Local Law And Of The People Who Use It In A New England City. The Litigants, Primarily White, Native-born, And Working Class, Go To Court Because As Part Of Mainstream America They Feel Entitled To Use Its Legal System. Although Neither Powerful Nor Highly Educated, They Expect The Law's Support When They Face Intolerable Infringements Of Their Rights, Privacy, And Safety. Yet As Personal Problems Enter The Legal System And Move Through Mediation Sessions, Clerk's Hearings, And Prosecutor's Conferences, The Citizen Plaintiff Rapidly Loses Control Of The Process. Court Officials And Mediators Interpret And Characterize The Meaning Of These Experiences, Reframing And Categorizing Them In Different Discourses. Some Plaintiffs Yield To These Interpretations, But Others Resist, Struggling To Assert Their Own Version Of The Problem. Ultimately, Merry Exposes The Paradox Of Legal Entitlement. While Going To Court Allows An Individual To Dominate Domestic Relationships, The Litigant Must Increasingly Yield Control Of The Situation To The Court That Supplies That Power--publisher Description. Introduction -- The Setting: Two New England Towns And Their Lower Courts -- Legal Consciousness And Types Of Problems -- The Social Context Of Problems -- Problems And Cases -- The Discourses Of The Lower Court -- Legal Experience And Legal Consciousness -- Conclusions: The Paradox Of Legal Entitlement.

The Practice of Human Rights: Tracking Law between the Global and the Local (Cambridge Studies in Law and Society) editors, Mark Goodale and Sally Engle Merry Cambridge, UK ; New York: Cambridge University Press, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2007

Using ethnographic case studies, this is aimed at courses globally in social sciences and law. The volume's four section - violence, power, vulnerability, and ambiguity - are divided thematically without regard to traditional categories within human rights studies. Human rights are now the dominant approach to social justice globally. But how do human rights work? What do they do? Drawing on anthropological studies of human rights work from around the world, this book examines human rights in practice. It shows how groups and organizations mobilize human rights language in a variety of local settings, often differently from those imagined by human rights law itself. The case studies reveal the contradictions and ambiguities of human rights approaches to various forms of violence. They show that this openness is not a failure of universal human rights as a coherent legal or ethical framework but an essential element in the development of living and organic ideas of human rights in context. Studying human rights in practice means examining the channels of communication and institutional structures that mediate between global ideas and local situations. Suitable for use on inter-disciplinary courses globally.

Human Rights and Gender Violence: Translating International Law into Local Justice (Chicago Series in Law and Society) Sally Engle Merry University of Chicago Press; University Of Chicago Press, University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 2006

Human rights law and the legal protection of women from violence are still fairly new concepts. As a result, substantial discrepancies exist between what is decided in the halls of the United Nations and what women experience on a daily basis in their communities. Human Rights and Gender Violence is an ambitious study that investigates the tensions between global law and local justice. As an observer of UN diplomatic negotiations as well as the workings of grassroots feminist organizations in several countries, Sally Engle Merry offers an insider's perspective on how human rights law holds authorities accountable for the protection of citizens even while reinforcing and expanding state power. Providing legal and anthropological perspectives, Merry contends that human rights law must be framed in local terms to be accepted and effective in altering existing social hierarchies. Gender violence in particular, she argues, is rooted in deep cultural and religious beliefs, so change is often vehemently resisted by the communities perpetrating the acts of aggression. A much-needed exploration of how local cultures appropriate and enact international human rights law, this book will be of enormous value to students of gender studies and anthropology alike.

Human Rights Transformation in Practice (Pennsylvania Studies in Human Rights) Tine Destrooper; Sally Engle Merry Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, Lightning Source Inc. (Tier 2), Philadelphia, 2018

Human rights are increasingly described as being in crisis. But are human rights really on the verge of disappearing? Human Rights Transformation in Practice argues that it is certainly the case that human rights organizations in many parts of the world are under threat, but that the ideals of justice, fairness, and equality inherent in human rights remain appealing globally—and that recognizing the continuing importance and strength of human rights requires looking for them in different places. These places are not simply the Human Rights Council or regular meetings of monitoring committees but also the offices of small NGOs and the streets of poor cities.In Human Rights Transformation in Practice, editors Tine Destrooper and Sally Engle Merry collect various approaches to the questions of how human rights travel and how they are transformed, offering a corrective to those perspectives locating human rights only in formal institutions and laws. Contributors to the volume empirically examine several hypotheses about the factors that impact the vernacularization and localization of human rights: how human rights ideals become formalized in local legal systems, sometimes become customary norms, and, at other times, fail to take hold. Case studies explore the ways in which local struggles may inspire the further development of human rights norms at the transnational level. Through these analyses, the essays in Human Rights Transformation in Practice consider how the vernacularization and localization processes may be shaped by different causes of human rights violations, the perceived nature of violations, and the existence of networks and formal avenues for information-sharing.Contributors: Sara L. M. Davis, Ellen Desmet, Tine Destrooper, Mark Goodale, Ken MacLean, Samuel Martínez, Sally Engle Merry, Charmain Mohamed, Vasuki Nesiah, Arne Vandenbogaerde, Wouter Vandenhole, Johannes M.

The Ritual of Rights in Japan: Law, Society, and Health Policy (Cambridge Studies in Law and Society) Eric A. Feldman, Chris Arup, Martin Chanock, Pat O'Malley, Sally Engle Merry Cambridge University Press (Virtual Publishing), Cambridge Studies in Law and Society, 1, 2000

The Ritual of Rights in Japan challenges the conventional wisdom that the assertion of rights is fundamentally incompatible with Japanese legal, political and social norms. It discusses the creation of a Japanese translation of the word 'rights', Kenri; examines the historical record for words and concepts similar to 'rights'; and highlights the move towards recognising patients' rights in the 1960s and 1970s. Two policy studies are central to the book. One concentrates on Japan's 1989 AIDS Prevention Act, and the other examines the protracted controversy over whether brain death should become a legal definition of death. Rejecting conventional accounts that recourse to rights is less important to resolving disputes than other cultural forms,The Ritual of Rights in Japan uses these contemporary cases to argue that the invocation of rights is a critical aspect of how conflicts are articulated and resolved.

"We live in a world where seemingly everything can be measured. We rely on indicators to translate social phenomena into simple, quantified terms, which in turn can be used to guide individuals, organizations, and governments in establishing policy. Yet counting things requires finding a way to make them comparable. And in the process of translating the confusion of social life into neat categories, we inevitably strip it of context and meaning -and risk hiding or distorting as much as we reveal. With The Seductions of Quantification, leading legal anthropologist Sally Engle Merry investigates the techniques by which information is gathered and analyzed in the production of global indicators on human rights, gender violence, and sex trafficking. Although such numbers convey an aura of objective truth and scientific validity, Merry argues persuasively that measurement systems constitute a form of power by incorporating theories about social change in their design but rarely explicitly acknowledging them. For instance, the US State Department's Trafficking in Persons Report, which ranks countries in terms of their compliance with antitrafficking activities, assumes that prosecuting traffickers as criminals is an effective corrective strategy -overlooking cultures where women and children are frequently sold by their own families. As Merry shows, indicators are indeed seductive in their promise of providing concrete knowledge about how the world works, but they are implemented most successfully when paired with context-rich qualitative accounts grounded in local knowledge."--Descripción del editor

Reputation: Studies in the Voluntary Elicitation of Good Conduct (Economics, Cognition, and Society) Daniel B Klein; Adam Smith; Gordon Tullock; Jeremy Shearmur; Sally Engle Merry; Harry Chase Brearly; Wilson J Newman; Avner Greif; Bruce L Benson; Bradford J De Long; Marc Ryser; Paul R Milgrom; Douglass C North; Barry R Weingast; Benjamin Klein; Keith B Leffler The University of Michigan Press, Economics, cognition, and society, Ann Arbor, Michigan, 1997

"Tricks and treachery are the practice of fools that have not wit enough to be honest," wrote Benjamin Franklin. This volume explores ways in which the honest establish trust and enjoy good fortune, even without policing. The central mechanism at work is reputation. To work, information about the individual's conduct must be observed, interpreted, recorded, stored, and transmitted. Different forms of "seals of approval" develop to communicate the quality of an individual's reputation to others. The studies in this volume reveal how vast information systems like Dun & Bradstreet and TRW generate reputation and beneficial exchange, and how brand names, middlemen, and dealers give their own sort of seal of approval. One chapter describes the origins of Underwriters' Laboratories, an organization that sells its inspection services and mark of approval for product safety. Another argues that J. P. Morgan's investment banking service was in large part applying astute judgment in granting the Morgan seal of approval to firms in need of capital. Other, less formal, reputational mechanisms such as gossip, customary law, and written correspondence are also explored. Contexts range from trust among merchants in Medieval Europe, social control in small communities, and good conduct in a vast anonymous society such as our own. Throughout these broad-ranging studies, the central theme of the volume emerges: in an open, competitive environment, honesty can recruit cleverness to assert itself and to drive out the dishonest. Contributors include Bruce Benson, Harry Chase Brearly, J. Benson De Long, Avner Greif, Benjamin Klein, Keith B. Leffler, Sally Engle Merry, Paul R. Milgrom, J. Wilson Newman, Douglass C. North, Marc Ryser, Adam Smith, Gordon Tullock, and Barry R. Weingast. Daniel B. Klein is Assistant Professor of Economics, University of California, Irvine.

Urban danger : life in a neighborhood of strangers Sally Engle Merry. -- Philadelphia: Temple University Press, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1981

Multiple locks, vicious dogs, cans of mace, training in karate city people have tried everything to cope with their sense of danger at home and on the streets. The most common strategy, probably, is avoiding dangerous situations or simply living with the problem. Yet fear is not very well related to crime statistics, people of different cultures react differently to the same neighborhood, and people have very different understandings of what danger is.The author spent many months, talking to the residents of a high-crime multi-ethnic housing project in a major American city. The project is about 52 percent Chinese, 27 percent black, 12 percent white, and 6 percent Hispanic. We see the project through the eyes of a Chinese woman in her eighties, a black teenager, a Syrian businessman, a black working mother, a Chinese student, and many others. And the ways they see the same streets and corridors are shockingly different. In this neighborhood of strangers, nextdoor neighbors may rarely speak to each other, may view each other as dangerous, and may hold cruel stereotypes of one another. For example, some groups think that Chinese apartments teem with immigrant humanity and hanging chickens, while they are reluctant to confront Chinese youths because of their presumed expertise in the martial arts.The author, who is white, made friends with members of the black gang in the area, who introduced her to their network of friends; with the aid of several Chinese students, she was also able to gain access to Chinese households and secure translations of Chinese accounts of victimization. Those who committed the purse snatching and assaults were also willing to talk about their perception of likely victims and places for crime. Danger is relative. The laundromat, the parking garage, the project courtyard these could be friendly or fearsome places to the different cultural groups.Besides describing these present-day differences in perception, the author explores the meaning of urban danger in other times and countries. In nineteenth-century American cities, for example, the Irish were part of the "dangerous classes" largely because they frequented bars and Catholic churches. Although personal assaults usually take place between people who know each other, it is most often the stranger, the foreigner, the one who is different, who is feared and labeled "dangerous." Author Sally Engle Merry is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Wellesley College. She is currently working on a book on law and community in America.

The Possibility of Popular Justice: A Case Study of Community Mediation in the United States (Law, Meaning, And Violence) Sally Engle Merry; Neal A. Milner; Neil Milner Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, University of Michigan Press, Ann Arbor, 1995

Can popular justice ever be a real alternative to the violence and coercion of state law? | " The Possibility of Popular Justice is essential reading for scholars and practitioners of community mediation and should be very high on the list of anyone seriously concerned with dispute resolution in general. The book offers many rewards for the advanced student of law and society studies." —Law and Politics Book Review "These immensely important articles—fifteen in all—take several academic perspectives on the [San Francisco Community Boards] program's diverse history, impact, and implications for 'popular justice.' These articles will richly inform the program, polemical, and political perspectives of anyone working on 'alternative programs' of any sort." — IARCA Journal "Few collections are so well integrated, analytically penetrating, or as readable as this fascinating account. It is a 'must read' for anyone interested in community mediation." —William M. O'Barr, Duke University "You do not have to be involved in mediation to appreciate this book. The authors use the case as a launching pad to evaluate the possibilities and 'impossibilities' of building community in complex urban areas and pursuing popular justice in the shadow of state law." —Deborah M. Kolb, Harvard Law School and Simmons College Sally Engle Merry is Professor of Anthropology, Wellesley College.

Human Rights and Gender Violence is an ambitious study that investigates the tensions between global law and local justice.As an observer of UN diplomatic negotiations as well as the workings of grassroots feminist organizations in several countries, Sally Engle Merry offers an insider's perspective on how human rights law holds authorities accountable for the protection of citizens even while reinforcing and expanding state power. Providing legal and anthropological perspectives, Merry contends that human rights law must be framed in local terms to be accepted and effective in altering existing social hierarchies. Gender violence in particular, she argues, is rooted in deep cultural and religious beliefs, so change is often vehemently resisted by the communities perpetrating the acts of aggression.A much-needed exploration of how local cultures appropriate and enact international human rights law, this book will be of enormous value to students of gender studies and anthropology alike.

The Possibility of Popular Justice: A Case Study of Community Mediation in the United States (Law, Meaning, and Violence) Sally Engle Merry; Neal A. Milner; Neil Milner University of Michigan Press, Law, meaning, and violence, 1st paperback ed, Ann Arbor, 1995, c1993

Can popular justice ever be a real alternative to the violence and coercion of state law? | " The Possibility of Popular Justice is essential reading for scholars and practitioners of community mediation and should be very high on the list of anyone seriously concerned with dispute resolution in general. The book offers many rewards for the advanced student of law and society studies." —Law and Politics Book Review "These immensely important articles—fifteen in all—take several academic perspectives on the [San Francisco Community Boards] program's diverse history, impact, and implications for 'popular justice.' These articles will richly inform the program, polemical, and political perspectives of anyone working on 'alternative programs' of any sort." — IARCA Journal "Few collections are so well integrated, analytically penetrating, or as readable as this fascinating account. It is a 'must read' for anyone interested in community mediation." —William M. O'Barr, Duke University "You do not have to be involved in mediation to appreciate this book. The authors use the case as a launching pad to evaluate the possibilities and 'impossibilities' of building community in complex urban areas and pursuing popular justice in the shadow of state law." —Deborah M. Kolb, Harvard Law School and Simmons College Sally Engle Merry is Professor of Anthropology, Wellesley College. Neal Milner is Professor of Political Science and Director of the Program on Conflict Resolution, University of Hawaii.

The social organization of law : introductory readings / [edited by] Austin Sarat ; foreword by Sally Engle Merry. Sally Engle Merry; Austin Sarat Oxford University Press, 2004., California, 2004

Austin Sarat's The Social Organization of Law: Introductory Readings begins with a simple premise--law seeks to work in the world, to order, change, and give meaning to society--and describes legal processes as socially organized. This book connects legal studies to the study of society in two different senses. First, the readings highlight law's responsiveness to various dimensions of social stratification. They also draw attention to the questions of when, why, and how legal decisions and actions respond to the social characteristics (e.g. race, class, and gender) of those making the decisions as well as those who are subject to them. These questions inevitably raise issues of justice and fairness, highlighting the moral dimensions of legal life. Second, Sarat treats law itself as a social organization, emphasizing the complex relations between its various component parts (e.g., judges and jurors, police and prosecutors, appellate courts, and trial courts). The book examines the traditional subject of professional legal study--namely appellate court opinions--and describes some of the most pressing controversies of legal interpretation while questioning how those opinions take on meaning in social life. Sarat also questions whether those at the top of law's bureaucratic structure effectively control the behavior of others in the legal system's chain of command. This anthology provides accessible, up-to-date materials (such as readings on terrorism and the challenges it poses to law, racial profiling, and gay rights) juxtaposed to the classics of the field. Introductions to each reading, along with the notes and questions written by the author, unpack the issues and engage students, enabling them to link the material from one chapter to another. Additional suggested readings provide stimulus for further inquiry. The Social Organization of Law offers students a broad perspective that treats law as a set of institutions and practices combining moral argument, distinctive interpretive traditions, and the social organization of violence.

nexusstc/The New Legal Realism: Studying Law Globally/a00d8dcf2d078d0aef8d1c47e3975774.pdf

The new legal realism. Volume II, Studying law globally Stewart Macaulay, Elizabeth Mertz, Thomas W. Mitchell, Heinz Klug, Sally Engle Merry University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations; Cambridge University Press, New York, NY, USA, 2016

This is the second of two volumes announcing the emergence of the new legal realism. At a time when the legal academy is turning to social science for new approaches, these volumes chart a new course for interdisciplinary research by synthesizing law on the ground, empirical research, and theory. Volume 2 explores the integration of global perspectives and information into our understanding of law. Increasingly, local experiences of law are informed by broader interactions of national, international, and global law. Lawyers, judges, and other legal actors often have to respond to these broader contexts, while those pursuing justice in various global contexts must wrestle with the specific problems of translation that emerge when different concepts of law and local circumstances interact. Using empirical research, the authors in this path-breaking volume shed light on current developments in law at a global level.

Human rights as culprit, human rights as victim: rights and security in the state of exception Daniel M. Goldstein Cambridge University Press (Virtual Publishing), The Practice of Human Rights, 1, 2007

In some respects, the recent and unprecedented election to the Bolivian presidency of Evo Morales (widely hailed as the first indigenous person to be elected president of a Latin American nation) can be attributed to his command of the transnational discourse of human rights. In the last several years Bolivia has seen the emergence of powerful social movements demanding greater political inclusion and representation for indigenous peoples, and against the privatization and/or expropriation of natural resources (particularly water and gas), all expressed, in various ways, using the transnational language of human rights. As leader of the Bolivian coca-growers' union and head of the Movimento al Socialismo MAS party (Movement Towards Socialism party), Morales articulated the protest against state and transnational programs of neoliberal political economy as struggles for human and citizens' rights in a context of centuries of indigenous exclusion and exploitation by foreign powers (Goodale, chapter 3 in this volume). Violent state repression of civil protest was critiqued in the same idiom. Like other indigenous activists around the hemisphere, Morales and other leaders and participants in Bolivian social \* Earlier versions of this chapter were presented at the 104th annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association,

诉讼的话语 : 生活在美国社会底层人的法律意识 = Getting justice and getting even (美)萨利·安格尔·梅丽(Sally Engle Merry)著 ; 郭星华, 王晓蓓, 王平译; 梅丽; 郭星华; 王晓蓓; 王平北京大学出版社, Fa lü yu she hui yi cong (Beijing da xue chu ban she), Di 1 ban, Beijing Shi, 2007

本书运用法律人类学的研究方法,对美国劳工阶层的法律意识和法律行为进行了深入的研究。她发现,在法院里使用的话语有三种:第一种主要是根据法律的范畴和解决方法,即法律话语;第二种是根据道德的范畴和解决方法,即道德话语;第三种是根据救助职业的范畴和解决方法,即治疗性话语。她还发现法律权利意识存在着一个根本性的悖论:处在社会底层的人们,在通过运用法律来主张自己在邻里及家庭关系中的法律权利的同时,也增强了他们对国家机构的依赖。原告利用法律的象征性权力来加强自己在与熟人的纠纷中的力量,但当问题进入法院以后他们就失去了对这种象征性权力的控制。

Youth, Globalization, and the Law edited by Sudhir Alladi Venkatesh and Ronald Kassimir; organized by Social Science Research Council Collaborative Research Network on Youth and Globalization Stanford University Press : Eurospan distributor, 1 edition, December 13, 2006

This book addresses the impact of globalization on the lives of youth, focusing on the role of legal institutions and discourses. As practices and ideas travel the globe-such as the promotion and transmission of zero tolerance and retributive justice programs, the near ubiquitous acceptance of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the transnational migration of street gangs-the legal arena is being transformed. The essays in this book offer case studies and in-depth analyses, spanning diverse settings including courts and prisons, inner-city streets, international human rights initiatives, newspaper offices, local youth organizations, and the United Nations. Drawing on everyday social practices, each chapter adds clarity to our current understanding of the ways in which ideas and practices in different parts of the world can affect youth in one particular locale
