ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in this book. The book addresses the materiality and the plurality of law. As a theoretical object, law is 'all over' or 'ubiquitous' – in our relations with others and with the physical world, in everyday practices, in formal and semi-formal spaces, in bodily experiences and actions, and as a ceaseless constructive movement or intra-action that cannot be contained, even for a moment. In orthodox legal theory the empirical and conceptual multidimensionality of law have often been reduced to a singular abstraction – a static concept. A 'concept' of law is a particular perspective, or the result of bracketing a number of variables, but it is never an end, a foundation, or an entire framework for thought. From this perspective, the history of legal theory can be seen as a history of experimentation with the idea of law, rather than a history of failure to define or capture it.
