Stanford University Pressc20091 online resource (394 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-8047-5981-2 0-8047-5982-0 Includes bibliographical references (p. 201-238) and index.Modern dilemmas -- Paris in the Andes : law and the modern subject -- The making of a legal universe : law and the practice of everyday life -- Courts of desire : gender, power, and the law -- Human rights and the moral imagination : becoming liberal in the Norte de Potosi -- Modern dreams : an ethnography of grandeur.Dilemmas of Modernity provides an innovative approach to the study of contemporary Bolivia, moving telescopically between social, political, legal, and discursive analyses, and drawing from a range of disciplinary traditions. Based on a decade of research, it offers an account of local encounters with law and liberalism. Mark Goodale presents, through a series of finely grained readings, a window into the lives of people in rural areas of Latin America who are playing a crucial role in the emergence of postcolonial states. The book contends that the contemporary Bolivian experience is best understood by examining historical patterns of intention as they emerge from everyday practices. It provides a compelling case study of the appropriation and reconstruction of transnational law at the local level, and gives key insights into this important South American country.Sociological jurisprudenceBoliviaLaw and the social sciencesBoliviaIndigenous peoplesCivil rightsBoliviaLiberalismBoliviaHuman rightsBoliviaSocial changeBoliviaSociological jurisprudenceLaw and the social sciencesIndigenous peoplesCivil rightsLiberalismHuman rightsSocial change340/.1150984Goodale Mark969838MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910305557503321Dilemmas of Modernity2204371UNINA
