摘要

本文探讨了加纳最大的非正式定居点之一的人权活动家团体如何利用他们对多种法律制度的经验和知识，制定创新的倡导战略。在这样做的过程中，这些活动人士“破解”了国际社会所理解的人权运动中“可接受”行为的准则，挑战了法律类别之间的分歧。通过使用“黑客”的概念，本文探讨了活动家如何在正式的法律环境之外动员，试图建立灵活的倡导活动，取得了一些成功，也产生了一些后果。

Human rights hackers: crafting advocacy in Accra, Ghana

Abstract This article explores how groups of human rights activists in one of Ghana’s largest informal settlements craft innovative advocacy strategies, drawing on their experience with and knowledge of multiple legal regimes. In doing so, these activists “hack” the code of what has come to be understood by the global community as “acceptable” behavior in human rights campaigns, challenging the divisions between legal categories. By employing the concept of “hacking,” this article explores how activists mobilize outside of formal legal settings, attempting to build flexible advocacy campaigns, with some success and some fallout.

期刊介绍： As the pioneering journal in this field The Journal of Legal Pluralism and Unofficial Law (JLP) has a long history of publishing leading scholarship in the area of legal anthropology and legal pluralism and is the only international journal dedicated to the analysis of legal pluralism. It is a refereed scholarly journal with a genuinely global reach, publishing both empirical and theoretical contributions from a variety of disciplines, including (but not restricted to) Anthropology, Legal Studies, Development Studies and interdisciplinary studies. The JLP is devoted to scholarly writing and works that further current debates in the field of legal pluralism and to disseminating new and emerging findings from fieldwork. The Journal welcomes papers that make original contributions to understanding any aspect of legal pluralism and unofficial law, anywhere in the world, both in historic and contemporary contexts.
