The Creole of Culture and the Structuration of Law---the Exploration and Furtherance of "Comparative Legal Formation"---

在这项研究项目中，我们在第一阶段试图搜索各种重要的材料，以便将相关的重点放在每个成员的研究要点上；然后在第二阶段，我们试图分析克里奥尔文化和法律结构化过程的多层次运作(我们区分了价值、社会和制度历史的维度，并进一步为最后一个维度做了亚洲语境、欧洲语境、美国语境和日本语境)。在价值维度方面，我们阐述了关联批评家在社会中的角色及其在价值渗透过程中的作用，涉及到价值的传递和社会结构的变化。在社会维度上，我们阐释了国家法律观念与社会文化之间令人不安的鸿沟的因素，重点分析了民众对帝国统治的抗议中自我陶醉的悖论过程。在制度历史的维度上，首先为亚洲阐释了两种法律文化之间联系的可能性，一种是等级文化，另一种是间断文化，特别是通过中国的经验；其次，为欧洲阐释了15世纪德国《卡罗莱纳刑法》制定过程中贵族阶级的切身利益；第三，为美国阐释了法治和自由权利共识在当今多宗教冲突局势中的意义；最后，为日本阐释了6世纪平安时期贵族诗人律师对中国法律制度的解释性适应的过程。

In this research project, we tried at the first stage to search various significant materials in order to make relevant focuses on the research points for each member ; then at the second stage we tried to analyze the multi-level workings of the process of the creole of cultures and the structuration of law (We distinguished the dimensions of value, society, and institutional histories, and further did for the last dimension the Asian context, the European context, the American context, and the Japanese context.) ; and at the final stage we tried to integrate those various explorations by each member in a comprehensive scheme.As to the dimension of value, we explicated the role of connected critic in society and its role for the process of the permeation of values, concerning the transference of values and the change of the constitutional structure of society. As to the dimension of society, we explicated the factors for the disturbing gap between legal ideas in the state and social culture, with focusing on the paradoxical process of self-absorption in the popular protest against the dominance of the "empire". As to the dimension of institutional histories, we firstly explicated for Asia the possibility of the connection between two types of legal cultures, one the culture of gradation and the other culture of discontinuity, especially through the Chinese experience ; secondly explicated for Europe the vital interests of the noble class in the process of the establishment of the Carolina Criminal Code in the 15th century Germany ; thirdly explicated for the US the significance of the consensus on the rule of law and liberty rights in the multi-religious conflict situation today ; and finally explicated for Japan the process of the interpretive adaptation of the Chinese legal system by the noble poet-lawyers in the 6th century Heian period.
