Mapping Interlegality in Chiapas, Mexico

本研究探讨了墨西哥恰帕斯州法律秩序之间的交集和冲突，在那里，关于如何创建多元文化民主的积极辩论正在进行中。现金经济和国家法律日益迅速地渗透到土著社区。这项研究建立在20世纪60年代在同一地区分析“Zinacanteco法”的研究基础上。目前对Zinacantan正在进行的经济和政治变化的探索集中在Tzotzil玛雅镇的人们如何修改和重新设想他们的争端管理程序，以应对经济现代化和强调种族独特性的政治压力这两种明显矛盾的力量。通过关注“和解”的概念，她调查了不同年龄和经济状况的男女如何援引“土著”和“人权”的概念来争论传统习俗的意义和执行。本研究采用已确立的人类学方法，包括访谈、个案记录分析和参与观察。法律制度的三种变化将被分析：争端管理程序，谁发起和解，以及土著习俗的话语。该项目扩展了人类学分析和争议解决应用的理论发展。本研究探讨了墨西哥恰帕斯州法律秩序之间的交叉点和冲突，在那里，关于如何创建多元文化民主的积极辩论正在进行中。现金经济和国家法律日益迅速地渗透到土著社区。这项研究建立在20世纪60年代在同一地区分析“Zinacanteco法”的研究基础上。目前对Zinacantan正在进行的经济和政治变化的探索集中在Tzotzil玛雅镇的人们如何修改和重新设想他们的争端管理程序，以应对经济现代化和强调种族独特性的政治压力这两种明显矛盾的力量。通过关注“和解”的概念，她调查了不同年龄和经济状况的男女如何援引“土著”和“人权”的概念来争论传统习俗的意义和执行。本研究采用已确立的人类学方法，包括访谈、个案记录分析和参与观察。法律制度的三种变化将被分析：争议管理程序、谁发起解决和***

Abstract Collier 9710396 This research explores the intersections and conflicts among legal orders in Chiapas, Mexico where active debate over how to create a multi-cultural democracy is ongoing. The increasing penetration of the cash economy and state law into indigenous communities has been rapid. The research builds on the investigator's work done in the same region in the 1960s that analyzed "Zinacanteco law." The current exploration of ongoing economic and political changes in Zinacantan focuses on how people in Tzotzil Maya township are revising and reimagining their dispute management procedures in response to the apparently contradictory forces of economic modernization and political pressure to emphasize ethnic distinctiveness. By focusing on the concept of "reconciliation," she investigates how women and men of various ages and economic conditions are invoking notions of "indigenous" and "human" rights to argue over the meaning and enforcement of traditional customs. The research uses established anthropological methods of interviewing, case record analysis, and participant observation.. Three kinds of changes in the legal system will be analyzed: dispute management procedures, who initiates settlements, and the discourse of indigenous custom. The project extends theoretical developments in anthropological analyses and applications of dispute resolution. %%% This research explores the intersections and conflicts among legal orders in Chiapas, Mexico where active debate over how to create a multi-cultural democracy is ongoing.
