This collection brings together a carefully curated selection of
researchers from law, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, history,
social ontology and international relations, in order to examine
how law and custom interact within specific material and spatial
contexts. Normativity develops within these contexts, while also
shaping them. This complex relationship exists within all physical
places from traditional agrarian spaces to the modern shifting
post-industrial workplace. The contributions gathered together in
this volume explore numerous examples of such spaces from different
disciplinary perspectives to interrogate the dynamic relationship
between custom and law, and the material spaces they inhabit. While
there are a dynamic series of conclusions regarding this
relationship in different material realities, a common theme is
pursued throughout: a proper understanding of law and custom stems
from their material locatedness within the power dynamics of
particular spaces, which, in turn, are reflexively shaped by that
same normativity. The book thus generates an account of the
locatedness of law and custom, and, indeed, of custom as a source
of law. In this way, it provides a series of linked explorations of
normative spaces, but, more fundamentally, it also furnishes a
cross-disciplinary toolkit of concepts and critical tools for
understanding law and custom, and their relationship. As the
diversity of the contributors indicates, this book will be of great
interest to legal theorists of different traditions, also legal
historians and anthropologists, as well as sociologists,
historians, geographers and developmental economists.
