This three-hour session led by Dr Rachel Sieder is oriented to
postgraduates and early career scholars who conduct research on the
relationship between politics and the law in Latin America. Readings by
Rachel Sieder will be circulated among participants prior to the session
and the masterclass will consist of a discussion of these readings as well
as participants’ research. Questions that we hope to address during the
discussion include: What are the causes and consequences of the increasing
judicialization and juridification of social life in Latin America? What
law-like practices are in evidence amongst communities and social movements
and how do these relate to changing configurations of legal pluralism? What
emerging approaches to ethnographies of the law are in evidence in studies
of the region?
The readings to be discussed are:
(2013) “Subaltern Cosmopolitan Legalities and the Challenges of Engaged
Ethnography”, *Universitas Humanística*, No. 75: 219-47.
(2011) “Contested Sovereignties: Indigenous Law, Violence and State Effects
in Postwar Guatemala,” *Critique of Anthropology*, Vol. 31 (3): 161-84.
(2010) ed. with Javier Couso and Alex Huneeus. *Cultures of Legality:
Judicialization and Political Activism in Latin America*, Cambridge
University Press. [Chapters 1 and 7]
(2005) ed. with Line Schjolden and Alan Angell. *The Judicialization of
Politics in Latin America*, Palgrave Macmillan, New York. [Chapter 1:
Introduction]
*Date:* Friday 15 April 2016, 2-5pm
*Venue:* Institute of Latin American Studies, Senate House, Room 246
