全球法律史的中国写作——“复规范性”与法律史学的空间感

Chinese Writing of Global Legal History——Multi-normativity and the Space of Legal History

本文以法律全球化为背景,通过法律史学的空间感,从民族国家到全球视野的“复规范性”转向,触及“全球法律史”之知识生产中的中国角色问题。本文基于空间预设对于法律史学的学术范式的影响,一方面,反思寺田浩明的“非规则型法”与黄宗智的“非正式性”表述背后的东西方对照/对抗性的空间预设;另一方面,梳理法兰克福的法律史学对欧洲概念的固守与突破,如何以全球视角取代欧洲中心,实现空间转向与“复规则性”的范式转变。最后,讨论“全球法律史的中国写作”的学术潜能,如何以全球本土化视角重新理解中国法律的生成机理,又如何以中国元素参与全球法律史的学术对话,从而奠定新法学理论的认知前提。

Through the transition of legal space,this article attempts,from nation-states to a connected globe,to uncover the changing role of China in knowledge production in the field of global legal history. On the one hand,it discusses the spatial hypothesis of comparison or contradiction constructed between China and the West,by reflecting the concepts of the law of non-rule and the informal law,respectively used by Terada Hiroaki and Philip C. C. Huang. On the other hand,this article also investigates the global turn at Max Planck Institute for European Legal History from the previous framework of Eurocentrism,combined with a conceptual and methodological shift from the law in a narrow sense to the multi-normativity. Finally,it discusses the academic potentials of issue on China’s role in writing global legal history,providing some insights into how China’s normative order is produced,used,shaped,and re-signified in a global context,and how China’s legal history participates in global dialogues within a connected world,in order to build together a new historical legal theory for establishing a new kind of regional or international normative orders.
