Abstract

This chapter reflects on what materiality-inflected methodologies can bring to an anthropology of law, and to legal studies more generally. We seek to make two distinct but related contributions: first, to explore the various trends of ‘posthuman’ understandings of law and propose that their key contribution is to enable us to push the boundaries of law as a social phenomenon; second, by putting posthuman approaches to legality in conversation with legal anthropology, we do so to argue that one of the strengths of materiality-inflected approaches to law has been its attention to the micro-details of law’s unexpected workings, which will continue to need careful, critical, empirical attention.
