Reza Banakar, sociology of law, law and justice, socio-legal theoryLaburpena
This work provides a specific theoretical reading of the contemporary sociology of law promoted by Reza Banakar. Specifically, it investigates how the scholar approaches the relationship between law’s autonomy and justice claims through socio-legal lenses, and it proposes a partial understanding of his response. This response is critically interpreted in order to outline the potentialities and limitations of the author’s theoretical proposal. The analyses found in this work were operationalized from a bibliographic review of different sets of literature. In the end, the work highlights that, despite certain gaps, Banakar’s sociology of law has much to offer to the field, and it paves the way for the engagement of future socio-legal researchers interested in the different forms of intersection between law and justice in society.
