anthropology of law
Definición
- The anthropology of law studies legal systems, law, and law-like social phenomena and takes as its foundation the anthropological insight that law cannot be meaningfully understood apart from wider culture and society. Although there have always been diverse schools of thought within the anthropology of law regarding appropriate goals, theories, epistemologies, and sometimes even methods, scholars in this area share a commitment to intensive and rigorous field methodologies requiring extensive involvement in the communities and social fields under study.
