Abstract

Legal geographic research is a heterogeneous and lively academic field that, for decades now, has offered a wide array of critiques to hegemonic takes on ‘law’, ‘space’, and ‘power’, and the relation among them. Nonetheless, a broader engagement with legal geographic scholarship beyond the Anglosphere has not been fully embraced. This article introduces a set of contributions to grounding legal geography : First, as a set of practices that situate us in particular places, or severs the connections we have with those places; and second, as a form of knowledge, constituted in particular places, in distinctive ways. In centering Colombian legal geographies, the articles in this theme issue offer a nuanced understanding of legal formations and practices that shape territory, property, mobility, security, formality, and legality, among other key issues in the study of law, space, and power.
