Abstract

While law and conflict work are intrinsically connected, the relation between modern law and elicitive conflict transformation is not as easy as it seems. This chapter addresses a variety of aspects of this relation. Firstly, it points at some key tensions between the most widespread understanding of law and elicitive conflict work. Secondly, it portrays current innovative approaches to law that allow for transrational and transformative perspectives. Thirdly, it inquires into the field of law as a field in conflict which can be investigated with the tool of Elicitive Conflict Mapping in order to foster its potential for transformation. As a result of this exploration, the author proposes concrete entry points for the synergic interaction of the fields of conflict transformation and law.

Nächstes Kapitel A Rationale for the Transrational in Peace and Development Cooperation
Fußnoten
1
We will deal with the specifics of these change processes, particularly its goal of increasing justice as elaborated by Lederach, later.
 
2
In order to make the best use of the available space, I do not go deeper into the basics of Dietrich’s and Lederach’s approaches, which have been explained already in detail by themselves.
 
3
Indeed, in Roman Law, the key reference of modern law systems, ‘formulas’ were the corner stone of law. Regarding the sacred aspects of formulas, see De Coulanges (2003).
 
4
Interestingly, if violence, as defined by Rosenberg (2005), is a ‘drastic expression of an unmet need,’ we might ask what it means for the state to claim and have this monopoly on the expression of the unmet needs of the people it governs. No wonder that the judiciary as many other state institutions experience an overwhelming work-overload!
 
5
See for example the case of Argentina, where oral procedure was instituted in criminal courts in 1992. On this topic see further Ferrer Mac Gregor and Said Ramírez (2013).
 
6
On this common remark connected to legal realism, see Schauer (2009, 129).
 
7
I have elaborated in detail on postmodern perspectives of law and legal development in Benitez-Schaefer (2012).
 
8
Direito Sistêmico: a resolução de conflitos por meio da abordagem sistêmica fenomenológica das constelações familiares (Original in Portuguese).

Vivência could be translated as ‘experience.’ However, the socio-linguistic connotations of vivência are quite distinct from a mere experiência. The former is more profound, immediate and visceral, which becomes particularly important when it comes to address transrational peaces in the courtroom. To understand the weight of this word, it might be useful to note that the related Spanish word vivencia was invented by Ortega y Gasset when he was translating Husserl’s phenomenology on the ground of the German word Erlebnis. The translator explains vivencia as “all that which arrives with such an immediacy to my I that it comes to be part of it” (Ortega y Gasset in López Moreno 1990, 77).
 
11
Also, following Dietrich’s understanding, it is not surprising that the first attempts of ‘transrationalizing’ law happen in the most ‘superficial’ sexual–family layer. Working with juvenile criminal law, I would say we are moving to the socio-emotional–communal layer. Following this line of thought, working with issues of citizenship and the state’s unity could be related to the mental–societal layer.
 
12
This becomes evident through the extreme positive resonance in Storch’s homepage (Storch 2016) as well as in the events he inspired in other parts of Brazil.
 
13
Since this movement includes a variety of approaches, some of them can be related to transrational peaces more than others. For a discussion on the connections between restorative justice and the approach of elicitive conflict transformation, see Bravo de Barros (2017). Regarding the similarities and disparities of restorative justice practices and indigenous, traditional and spiritually embedded law practices, see Nielsen 1999.
 
14
Furthermore, Interact is exploring the introduction of symbolic characters like ‘Nature’ in its pieces going even beyond a traditional understanding of social conflict (Wrentschur, personal communication, January 2016).
 
15
These concerns reflect Lederach and Lederach’s (2011) observation of some key metaphors guiding experiences of conflict and healing: place, safety and voice.
 
16
Nevertheless, Lederach (in Lederach and Lederach 2011, xi) emphasizes: “Justice is relational. It is about how we choose to organize our interdependence. It is about how we choose to be a human community.”
 
17
Even if these approaches usually inquire law and its legitimation as ‘just’ and not ‘justice’ itself.
 
18
This is in fact a key area of research within the field of Legal Gender Studies.
 
19
I use the term ‘law community’ inspired by the notion of ‘school community.’ Following this line, I aim to include all individuals and groups that are “invested in the welfare and vitality of [law]” (Abbott 2006).
