Abstract
This paper aims to rethink the new directions of socio-legal studies, reformulating the conceptions of law, rights and community in our ever-changing post-modern society, inspired by stimulating insights shown in other papers in the symposium. In our rapidly transforming society where stable structure is hard to be found, it is necessary to articulate the processesf in which meanings of law, rights and community are continuously negotiated and transformed in a particular event. Through this approach, we can obtain insights to form a new conceptions of law and legal system which help people manage to create their versions of rights and community for themselves without depression by Knowledge/Power of modern legal discourse.
