Travaux

modifier

Ses travaux explorent le rôle de la loi dans le champ de l’urbanité aux États-Unis, mais aussi dans le champ de la colonisation et du transnationalisme. Ses études les plus récentes posent un œil critique sur les droits humains et le genre dans une optique transnationale avec une approche comparative. Notamment, Merry s’est consacrée à l’étude de la question des droits humains et des lois les entourant tels qu’elle est interprétée en Chine, en Inde, au Nigeria et au Pérou[4].

Les parutions récentes de Sally Engle Merry sont Colonizing Hawai’i: The Cultural Power of Law (Princeton University Press, 2000), titre ayant reçu le prix J. Willard Hurst de l’Association Loi et Société (USA) en 2001 ; Human Rights and Gender Violence: Translating International Law into Local Justice (University of Chicago Press, 2006) et The Practice of Human Rights: Tracking Law between the Local and the Global (Cambridge University Press, 2007), en coédition avec Mark Goodale. Elle est l’auteur ou l’éditrice de plusieurs autres ouvrages.

Sally Engle Merry est l’auteur de nombreux articles sur la question du droit des femmes dans le cadre plus large des droits humains, sur la violence faite aux femmes et sur les processus locaux nés de la réflexion sur les droits humains translocaux.

Ancienne présidente de l’Association Droit et société et de l’Association d’anthropologie politique et légale, Sally Engle Merry siège aux conseils exécutifs de l’Association américaine d’anthropologie et de l’Association Droit et société (USA). En 2007, elle reçoit de l’Association Droit et société le prix Kalven pour ses contributions scientifiques.
