• W278874615 abstract "On Citation and Dialogue: Thoughts on Inga Markovits, Justice in JUSTICE IN LURITZ: EXPERIENCING SOCIALIST LAW IN EAST GERMANY. By Inga Markovits. Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University Press, 2010. 244 pages. $26.95. Inga Markovits set out, in Justice in Luritz: Experiencing Socialist Law in East Germany, to write an account of the workings of the law under socialism in the German Democratic Republic (DDR). More specifically, she sought, as the subtitle indicates, first to grasp and then to convey how people experienced that legal system. This is not, then, a text that lays out the principles of socialist law as expressed in legal treatises but rather one that describes and analyzes how it was practiced and used in local and regional courts. result is an engaging, profoundly moving, beautifully written book that leaves the reader with a nuanced understanding of how all who came into contact with the courts of the DDR thought about the law and justice. Justice in is also courageous, breaking many of the conventions of scholarly prose. That rupture is not driven by a self-conscious quest for originality but rather by the demands of the story told. This brief Review follows that model, engaging Markovits's text in dialogue rather than obeying the norms of the review essay. My standpoint in this conversation is threefold: as a historian, as a scholar of the everyday, and as a feminist. experience of socialist law in the DDR in Justice in is derived, narrowly in a certain sense, from one location-the town given the pseudonym Luritz in the text. narrowness of place contrasts with the temporal breadth of the book; thinking in visual terms, this is a moving picture or, better, a slideshow, rather than a snapshot. book opens at the beginning of the socialist regime and ends with the fall of the Berlin Wall. Despite those chronological bookends, however, the book is not a narrative but rather is organized thematically by the life activities of those whose trajectories took them into the courts of Luritz. Correspondingly, the chapter titles are lapidary single words, sometimes specified with the definite article. Although Markovits did not choose to divide the book into parts, the chapters in fact fall into three clusters, followed by The End, which, of course, both sketches the collapse of the DDR and provides a conclusion to the book. Thus, we have three parts: Part I (The Files, The Beginning, People), Part II (Property, Work, Families), and Part III (Punishments, The Party, Hopes and Lies, and finally, The End). titles feel like the breadcrumbs dropped by Hansel and Gretel as they moved through the forest-allusive and indicative rather than providing a clear path, although they are, in fact, more substantial and durable than those crumbs. book opens with The Files because they are, indeed, the beginning and determine what the book can, and cannot, do. Justice in rests above all on the court files that Markovits was able to locate and to which she was granted access. Thus, the book begins not with what was the beginning for the historical actors but rather for the scholar. Markovits chooses to underscore, in the very structure of the book, that it is a construct; this is not a narrative that obediently follows a story as it unfolded in real time and space nor one from which the author will efface herself. Both the physicality of the documents and of the courthouse itself, and the emotion generated by the author's encounters with witnesses, are very much part of the story. After introducing the files, the text then moves to the temporal beginning point of the story. brief chapter, The Beginning, which is not the opening of the book but the onset of the historical period of relevance here, provides a synopsis of the birth of the DDR. People sketches the staffing of the courts in these years, particularly the origins and training of the judges. …" @default.
