Jurisprudence as a social category: multiplications of Deleuze...

Abstract

In two interviews gathered in Pourparlers, Gilles Deleuze stated that jurisprudence must would be proclaimed as the genuine philosophy of law. By advocating its delivrance to “groups of users”, and assigning there the turning point of law into politics, Deleuze have asserted also that judges would be expendable savants. Those caustic theses suggest that the deleuzean apprehension of jurisprudence may be adoptable as a category of social thinking. This essay develops this hypothesis examining if and how may jurisprudence be held as a concept for social thinking by promoting a deforming interaction between the fields of Philosophy, Social Theory and Law. That interaction benefits mainly from the legal realism by Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., and the innovative interpretations advanced by Laurent de Sutter in that matter, as well as from the ethnographic descriptions on Law, by Bruno Latour, and also from Gilles Deleuze’s theses on Law and Philosophy.
