The “Invention” of Early Legal Ideas: Sir Henry Maine and the Perpetual Tutelage of Women
Every age has it own gestalt. Sometimes authors use ideas and rela tionships from earlier times and cultures as implicit contrasts to their own society, but using the past for allusions to the present is hazardous, because everyone has a limited view of the rate of change in the modem era. We now know that the person who in 1909 remarked, "The world changed less since Jesus Christ than in the last thirty years" (quoted in Durant and Durant 1968:1…
Introduction: Dialogues in Legal Anthropology
Should social anthropologists continue to isolate the "legal" as a sepa rate field of study ?1 In seeking explanations for legal change, most of the contributors to this volume have crossed the boundaries between legal anthropology and other subfields of social anthropology. By making asymmetrical power relations and world historical time essential to their analyses, the contributors reach conclusions that are different from those of social scien…

Introduction: Legal Ethnography: New Dialogues, Enduring Methods
This volume is the result of a project in which ethnographers were asked to write essays that explored different research techniques that they have used to understand complex legal issues in a variety of social, political, and legal contexts. Each essay addresses a particular set of analytical problems that the ethnographers have confronted, or a particular type of data or research method that the ethnographer found useful. Because of its detaile…

The Seed and the Soil: Gender and Cosmology in Turkish Village Society
How do the metaphors we use to describe procreation affect our view of the relative worth of each gender? Carol Delaney discloses the powerful meanings condensed in the seemingly innocent images of seed and soil. Drawing on her work in a small Turkish village of Sunni Muslims, she shows us that the images are categorically different, hierarchically ordered, and unequally valued. The ways in which the creation of a child is understood in Turkey fu…

Slave trading in Jamaica
The Role of Turkish Secular Law in Changing the Lives of Rural Muslim Women, 1950-1970
The suppression of Islamic family law and the introduction of secular family law to govern family life in Turkey created a legal and regulatory environment that supported more egalitarian relationships within the rural household. Despite the lack of an organized political movement, by 1950 rural Muslim women had begun to use the courts in divorce and other conflicts, suggesting that Ataturk's reforms had diffused to the Anatolian provinces by thi…

Scarcity and Disputing: Zeroing-in on Compromise Decisions1
This paper examines critically the ways in which the concepts "compromise" and "zero-sum game" have been used to describe the outcomes of disputes. In particular, it questions the assumption that disputants with multiplex ties will try to compromise their differences, because their goal will be maintenance of the relationship, rather than "winning." A re-analysis of case materials from three societies indicates that many persons in multiplex rela…
The Impact of a Legal Revolution in Rural Turkey
This paper examines the impact of Turkey's radical introduction of Western law codes and secular courts by analyzing a portion (1950-67) of the docket of a rural district court, located in Bodrum, Turkey. We are particularly interested in whether a transplanted formal legal system can influence the countryside, and we ask: (1) To what extent are rural district law courts being used, and is this use increasing? (2) In what domains are rural courts…
