ANT.E stands for Areas – Norms – Time : Entangled. The blog looks at processes of the globalization of law from a historical perspective, focusing on experiences in the Global South. It seeks to bridge the past and the future and to challenge Western, post-/semi-colonial narratives.

ANT.E discusses topics from different perspectives in brief essays by researchers from various fields, tying them together in colloquies. “Unseen Agencies of Transformation”, the first colloquy, explores how non-Western societies engaged with legal modernity in the 19th and early 20th centuries – not as passive recipients of European norms, but as active participants negotiating legal change on their own terms.

The ANT.E project was supported with start-up funding by the Faculty of Law of the University of Vienna.
