(HS) Legal Anthropology and Courtroom Research
Berkant Caglar
Kommentar
This course is designed to familiarize students with core concepts in legal anthropology such as bureaucracy, legality, the rule of law, human rights, illiberal governance, and the transgression of law. It also engages with methodological approaches to collecting data on legal procedures, exploring both courtroom ethnography and archival research on court proceedings. As anthropologists, not directly trained in law, students will collectively contemplate how courtrooms work, the ways lawyers engage with litigation, prepare for trials and how individuals engage with law in in their everyday life. The focus will be on how to ethnographically study these social and cultural processes.
Along with introducing core concepts and methods, the course aims to link legal anthropological research to pressing contemporary social issues, focusing on three areas of inquiry: incarceration, financial capitalism, and the struggles of minority groups with legal institutions in geographically diverse ethnographic settings. These topical selections aim to make the course relevant to students and show how legal anthropology can serve as an intersectional and analytical lens for engaging with anthropology and ethnographic methods. After each thematic focus, students are expected to workshop ethnographic inquiry tools and imagine legal research. Schließen
