Název v původním jazyce
The other side of legal knowledge: the Lacanian discourse as legal epistemology
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
In the age of social constructivism, law is widely seen as inseparable from social, cultural, and ideological forces, with critique focused on exposing its extra-legal determinants. In response, new theories, notably Bruno Latour’s, reclaim law’s autonomy. The once-radical claim that everything is a social construct has become a truism, shifting legal critique from what and how contingencies determine law to what makes law unique and independent of social contingencies. This chapter explores the paradox of law as both a social construct and an autonomous entity within a broader network. Drawing on Lacan’s discourse theory as a model of knowledge production, it argues that legal knowledge—like all knowledge—transcends its creators, appearing as predetermined despite its constructed nature. This paradox is not a flaw but a fundamental condition of how we experience law: as simultaneously shaped by contingency and imbued with an essential, autonomous core.
