“In the past, my research centered on the working of colonial institutions in everyday life. It included an analysis of the relationship between legal norms and social and political practices, and was mainly concerned with the way institutions and normative orders responded to changing circumstances, and to material and symbolic constraints.” T.H.
The big problem with this kind of research in the States right now is Link Rot.
“This is a particular problem for academic scholarship, which is increasingly linking out to the Web rather than more formal, library-curated sources. That kind of linking makes clear sense, but having materials easily accessible right until they vanish means that academic work (government documents, such as judicial opinions) can end up with sources that can’t be checked or followed up upon by readers.
We found that half of the links in all Supreme Court opinions no longer work. And more than 70% of the links in such journals as the Harvard Law Review (in that case measured from 1999 to 2012), currently don’t work. As time passes, the number of non-working links increases.”
Are you trying to say that is a problem in Herzog’s field or work specifically? I think that if you look at her bibliography a little more closely, you will see that her major publications are in paper books and journals. I’m sorry about the obsolescence of online forms of things, but look: Supreme Court has the money to curate its web production better, and should; and realize that the HLR is run by students. Most academic work isn’t filled with links and sourced to the web … sorry …
