Summary
The chapter offers reflections on the theme of everyday justice as pursued in the volume, emphasizing the contributors’ challenges to deeply embedded legalisms in the ethnography of law. Themes include states as social facts, transitional justice and humanitarianism, privatization and its forms of contractual citizenship, and their various implications for ethnographic understandings of political agency, consciousness, and temporality. Throughout, everyday justice is presented as not only integral to consciousness but also – borrowing from Hannah Arendt – its active principle.
