Droit et Cultures is an interdisciplinary journal focussing on legal phenomena. The idea of law and rights only has a meaning in relationship to a system of values, norms and cultures revealing dynamic forms of social and societal organisation. The diversity of cultures and social, political and legal structures invites us to rethink models, categories and classifications. The challenge of Droit et Cultures is to avoid the reduction of law to a single narrative and to promote a plural reading of cultural phenomena. This involves understanding the presentations, discursive practices and behaviour of its actors.

Normative Entanglements in Indigenous Contexts
Edited by Sébastien Brodeur-Girard , Doris Farget , Ingrid Hall and Leila Inksetter

This special issue examines various ways in which Indigenous collectives engage with state legal frameworks, focusing on situations where these groups are marginalized or represent a minority within a state. Drawing on examples from Canada, Peru, India, and French Polynesia, it illustrates how Indigenous collectives compose and interact with these legal frameworks, by manipulating, transforming, or adapting them to other contexts. These negotiations often involve the mobilization of different and yet entangled normative systems—state law, international law, and local normativities. The contributions to this issue emphasize Indigenous perspectives and shed light on their strategies for asserting their legal traditions while negotiating a place within existing national frameworks.
