- W3125957790 abstract "I INTRODUCTION In this article's contribution to the symposium Theorizing Contemporary Legal Thought, I inquire into some of the topic's methodological difficulties. In particular, I suggest that, as the writing of thought is the writing of a kind of history, we ought to pay attention both to the special historiographical challenges we are likely to experience as well as those avenues that may better ease our passage into a telling of the legal Ultimately, my argument is that, although it has been in the periphery for a generation, structuralist history may be an edifying way of usefully constructing a history of thought. (1) But first things first. Perhaps you haven't heard of thought. could be because you already know it, only by another name, maybe the new private (2) or new realism. (3) Or maybe thought is a mystery due to a temptation to look for analogies in other disciplines, like history. (4) If so, the idea of art may seem of little use, however, since we typically suspect history and history to be very different things. (5) Trying a different approach, you might wonder if thought is a meaningful category at all. Might it not be the same thing as the modern thought of the first half of the twentieth century? If not, and modern and have different meanings in history, what could they be? (6) Falling further, you might even wonder whether modern has any stable meaning, much less a postmodern contemporary. Interestingly, in whichever register we ask it, the question of thought has rarely been answered. (7) One possible explanation for this lack is the balkanized state of studies in the United States, a condition in which judges, lawyers, and academics might operate in an intricately fragmented grid of expertise. (8) From this point of view, when we imagine what we envision is something like the law school faculty webpage, divided up into its disparate areas of experts. (9) There are the business law experts, the civil rights experts, the constitutional law experts, the international law experts, and so on. (10) In normal times, these departments of expertise are not understood as having much to do with one another. Moreover, the debates that go on within these areas among the experts themselves splinter the territory even further. The history of the disciplines, according to this balkanized view, is a history of shards. (11) As Christopher Tomlins has suggested, This is the scholarly world we live in now, a world of fragments that lacks a kaleidoscope, a world of noncausal relationality. (12) Although there are sure to be any number of causes for our scholarly hermitry, I suspect that this beauteous fragmentation is partially a residue of the postmodernism that arrived at American law schools in the 1980s, (13) and that it is this residue that now works as a block on our theorizing about thought. (14) That is, one possible reason for our general lack of conversation about the legal contemporary is that we have arrived at a place in which it has become increasingly difficult to have such conversations. Poststructuralist views of law have yielded an orientation toward history whereby the idea of unities and cross-cutting totalizations have become increasingly suspect, and grand narratives about evolving periods of thought have gone out of fashion. (15) But as the broad sweeps have been (appropriately) rendered problematic, historians have thrown the baby out with the bathwater, pushing the discipline to be ever more historicist, more contextual, more contingent, (16) albeit more professionally accepted. (17) To be sure, there was much wrong about the breadth of prestructuralist historiography, and it remains a curiosity how it managed for as long as it did. …" @default.
