Abstract
Private international law can be seen as a repository of normative ideas about the foreign, and more metaphorically, about our cultural other (the alien) and our (social) relationship to our own outside (nature). Its methods compose a baroque assemblage of highly elaborate legal concepts, theories, doctrines, definitions and tools, that are often understood on an exclusively technical register as part of a rationalist project of legal ordering, purportedly devoid of any political significance. Yet a shadowy, ‘minor jurisprudence’ of pluralistic entanglement (composed of ‘rattachements’ or in Latour’s terms, ‘ligatures’) invites us to explore an alternative ecology in jurisprudential but also aesthetic, ontological, ethical and political-economic terms. Law in this perspective is not disembedded, but belongs to the world.
