This book develops a new framework for analyzing the
spatio-temporal workings of law and other forms of governance.
Chronotopes of Law argues that studies of law and governance can be
reinvigorated by drawing on a bundle of quite heterogenous
analytical tools that do not have a single provenance or a single
political or normative aim but that work well in combination.
Analyses of legal temporality carried out by anthropologists and
studies of law and space undertaken by geographers and legal
scholars have proliferated in recent years, but these research
traditions have remained largely separate. By adapting notions such
as intertextuality, dialogism, and the 'chronotope' from Mikhail
Bakhtin, notions designed specifically to synthesize considerations
of space and time in a framework that is open-ended, interactive
and dynamic, Mariana Valverde develops an anti-metaphysical theory
and method for legal studies. This approach will be useful both to
theorists and to researchers seeking to illuminate the actual
workings of law and other forms of governance. Indeed, a key aim of
the book is to break down the institutional and disciplinary
barriers that prevent theorists from learning from empirical
studies and viceversa. Written by one of the foremost sociolegal
scholars writing today, this theoretically innovative work
constitutes a major contribution to contemporary studies in law and
society.
