Abstract
This paper explores juridical and political practices and conceptions of justice and authority in Rajasthan, India, outlining a discursive approach to legal pluralism. The presentation and the analysis of the narrative of a Rajasthani woman will be the focus of the present work. By providing her ‘internal’ perspective on a case study concerning a village dispute the aim of the paper is both to clarify how legal pluralism can be seen to work in a region of rural Rajasthan, and to prove the usefulness of the method here adopted for the identification and comprehension of the modalities through which different levels of organization are produced and structured within discourse. Indeed, the attempt is to show how legal pluralism can be analyzed not only according to the postulated presence of different normative systems or access to diverse legal forums, but also in relation to the capacity of social actors to build, in a (semi)autonomous way, their position within a discursive order characterized by the potential production and multiplication of legal and political planes.
