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.

Jedem Mensch wird bei der Geburt eine unverwechselbare Identit t und Individualit t in die Wiege gelegt, ohne dass die Eltern oder Andere etwas dazutun oder davon wegnehmen k nnen. Dann beginnt die Erziehung, und nicht selten stellt sie viele Menschen vor schier unl sbare Probleme. Verzweifelt informieren sie sich und suchen Orientierung im widerspr chlichen Empfehlungswirrwarr, der die frischgebackenen V ter und M tter eher verunsichert als weiterbringt. Genau hier setzt dieses Buch an. Anders als vergleichbare Literatur will es jedoch keine Rezepte oder konkrete Handlungsanweisungen geben. Stattdessen werden Orientierungs- und Verstehenslandkarten entwickelt, die in Bezug auf eine entwicklungsoffene Erziehung wesentlich sind und Erwachsene in der Suche nach Antworten auf zentrale Erziehungsfragen darin unterst tzen, einen eigenen Standort und eine klare Haltung zu finden. Erziehung gelingt jeden Tag neu - Schule auch - ein Buch, das sich neben Eltern auch sehr gut f r Lehrpersonen und Sozialp dagogen eignet. Es f hrt an der Entwicklungslinie des heranwachsenden Menschen entlang, sowohl mit Blick auf die individuellen Bed rfnisse der Kinder und Jugendlichen als auch mit Blick auf systemische Themen, die den Kontext und die Haltungen von Erwachsenen in zentralen Erziehungs- und Lebensfragen betreffen.
