‘Rights of Nature’ as co-constitution of law and religion
Previous comparative Rights of Nature (RoN) research has predominantly focused on secular dimensions, examining the diversity of legal designs and frameworks across cases sharing the meta-norm of Earth Jurisprudence. While some studies acknowledge religion as a factor shaping diverse RoN forms, they tend to treat religious contexts as stable, essentialised ‘legal cultures’ that pre-exist the law-making process. This contribution proposes an alter…
The Making and Unmaking of a New Biosocial Subject
This chapter examines the adoption of traditional wisdom into modern pharmaceutical development, one of the most recent movements surrounding ‘pharmaceuticalisation’ in South Asia. A common belief is that intellectual property rights prevent the misappropriation of local people's knowledge and counter the hegemony of the multinational pharmaceutical industry. However, several social scientists have criticised it as a new form of biocapitalism. Th…
Environmental Law With Non-Human Features in India
Against the wider backdrop of a global acceleration of Right of Nature (RoN) legal provisions, this article focuses on recent Indian court cases that created legal personhood for the Ganges and Yamuna rivers, to explore why and how this form of legality was created. Based on anthropological fieldwork, the article then critiques contemporary assertions that simply present the Indian judgments as infiltrations of Hindu cosmology into the legal fram…
Database as an Experiment
Bioprospecting refers to the scientific investigation of plants and folk medicines in the hope of developing new drugs. Its 1980s revival raised concerns about the intellectual property of indigenous people, requiring bioprospecting scientists to make legitimate benefit-sharing agreements with resource owners and communities. Despite the “ethical” look of such a movement, it has been criticized as a new form of “biocapitalism.” This is especially…
Temporalities in translation
In India, the recent global politics of biodiversity has brought various practices such as “folk” Ayurveda, plant taxonomy, and local anthropology into direct contact. This chapter focuses on a documentation project on “bio-cultural diversity” in a rural state in North India, Uttarkhand. It considers how these different practices are connected and re-differentiated, and further, what forms of knowledge emerge in translation. The chapter pays part…
Nature–Cultures in Translation
The critical analysis of scientific knowledge has assumed that nature does not simply sit objectively out there. Rather, as also shown by the contributions to this issue, forms of knowledge are inv
