Whilst situated in the bureaucratic strand of the literature, the paper also contributes to wider legal consciousness studies. This literature has generally focused on people’s relationships to law in terms of domination, alienation and game-playing. Drawing on idioms and the language of touch, the paper unpacks the way in which equality actors talked about law not as remote or alienating, but as close and familiar; not as oppressive, but as “precious” and hard-won. 2023-09-27T08:26:45Z 2023-09-27T08:26:45Z 2023 Book https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10691-022-09509-2 https://dlib.phenikaa-uni.edu.vn/handle/PNK/9301 en application/pdf Springer
