CALL FOR PAPERS:
This is a series of workshops arising out of an application by Anne Griffiths to the ESRC to fund six workshops under the title 'Developing Anthropology of Law in a Transnational World'. There are three workshops planned each year starting in academic year 2004. Two of the six will be held in Edinburgh and there is additional funding from foundations for these. And two will be held at Sussex and two at Birkbeck. The theme which Anne has identified for the workshops for the first year is 'Governmentality, The State and Transnational Processes of Law' and the theme for the second year is 'Space, Territoriality and Time'.
In the application for funding to the ESRC Anne identified a wide range of issues which the workshops could or would be concerned with. Perhaps the predominant emphasis is on the 'transnational' and the 'global', some pointed concern being with the relationship between the 'global' and the 'local', with the challenging of notions of sovereignty and territoriality as foundational of the state, and with the reformulating of ideas of legal pluralism. The more situated concerns extend widely also. 'Transnational forms of law and ordering' are seen as emanating from a considerable diversity of organisations such as the WTO, the IMF, the World Bank, and the African Union. There is also some particular emphasis on international human rights, on indigenous peoples and minorities, and, more generally, on 'issues about race, class and gender'.
The whole exercise is presented emphatically as one in which people from various disciplines will be involved and certainly not one confined to anthropologists, although the expectation is that there will be some regenerative effect on the anthropology of law.
