Overview
From 9-12 July 2022 the Commission on Legal Pluralism in collaboration with The University of Lisbon Law School will organize a course on Legal Pluralism in Lisbon, Portugal about theories, knowledge and methodologies of legal pluralism. The purpose of the 4-day course is to familiarize the participants with the current international debates and insights on socio-legal studies and legal pluralism and to offer a comparative perspective that allows them to rethink their own research and practical work.

ABOUT THE LOST RESEARCH NETWORK

The acronym LOST stands for Law, Organization, Science and Technology. Anthropology of Law (L), Organization Studies (O), and Science and Technology Studies (ST) are three vibrant transdisciplinary fields. Working at their intersections and merging their approaches, we also emphasize the economic, political, ethical, and aesthetic dimensions of fact-making in the present. The ambition of our detailed ethnographies is to respond to long-standing questions raised in social theory and philosophy, and vice versa, to translate these questions into ethnographic inquiry with a particular focus on critique. We address questions of global and planetary scope, although several of our empirical projects are located in Africa. Since its founding in 2002, LOST has grown from a small group based in Halle, Germany, to a decentralized network of independent scholars in many countries. Its vibrant activities have been winding down for a few years so that during 2024 this website is being turned into an archive.
