The National Meetings of Anthropology of Law (ENADIR) are biannual events promoted by the Center for Anthropology of Law (NADIR), based in the Department of Anthropology (DA) and the Graduate Program in Social Anthropology (PPGAS) of the School of Philosophy, Literature and Human Sciences of the University of São Paulo (FFLCH-USP).
The goals of the event have remained the same since the first Meeting (2009): to generate new knowledge and promote the improvement of the quality of scientific production in the fields of anthropology of law and related areas, encouraging and supporting exchanges between researchers from various higher education and research institutions, especially national graduate programs.
Likewise, with regard to postgraduate programs, ENADIR aims to contribute to the ongoing and systematic articulation between legal anthropologists in Brazil and study centers in the area, without neglecting to include foreign partnerships.
As in the eight previous editions, the current one aims to encourage exchanges that produce lasting repercussions, such as collaborations in work evaluation panels (especially qualifications and defenses of master's and doctorate degrees), the formulation of new research projects (individual and collective) and the creation of partnerships in publications and activities of other academic events.
Over these 16 years, ENADIR has grown, going from two days of activities (I ENADIR) to five (VII and VIII ENADIR), which implied involving more Conferences (CFs), Round Tables (MRs) and Working Groups (GTs), broadening the range of topics discussed.
From the beginning, only the WG sessions took place simultaneously, so that people could always follow all the other activities during the Meeting, without having to select them. In addition, speakers always had plenty of time for their speeches and debates, which is already one of the hallmarks of ENADIR, whose goals are primarily qualitative.
After the penultimate edition was entirely remote (2021), due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and the last one (2023) had only one in-person activity (the Closing Forum), we will resume holding the Meeting entirely in person. We will, however, maintain the open and real-time transmission of all activities, except for the GT sessions (which has been happening since the 1st ENADIR), to reach interested people who cannot attend (NADIR on Youtube). In fact, many of the CFs and MRs of the last ENADIRs remain availableonline, not only as a record of the activities, but as rich material for consultation and new debates.
We hope, therefore, in this 9th edition, to maintain and increase all these already characteristic features of the Meeting, with emphasis on the participation of researchers residing in all Brazilian states, linked mainly to postgraduate programs at Brazilian public universities.
The deadline for submitting abstracts of work to the WGs is open until June 5th. The notice with instructions for submission is available at https://www.enadir2025.
