Abstract
The questioning of the opposites of law and culture or law and society has opened up space for new configurations of the relations between law, anthropology and otherness. This book shows how anthropologists can think beyond this dualistic framework, by addressing law as a conceptual problem in anthropology and by analysing the shifts in its conception that have taken place in the work of Leopold Pospíšil, Bronislaw Malinowski and Jacob Grimm, which offer a different perspective on law, culture, society and, not least, the human being.
With the present book, the author intends to contribute to breaking down the divide between legal science and the anthropology of law and to open up a space for reflection on how the perspective of the anthropology of law is useful and original.
