abstract
- On the basis of the deployment of the idiom of co-production of knowledge and governance, the article I am commenting upon critically argues for overcoming the reification practices and for the 're-politicisation' of the European private law field. I note and discuss a dialectical tension between, on the one hand, the explanation based on 'reification' as the process of co-production of knowledge and governance which de-politicises and, on the other hand, the description of institutional settings themselves as instigating and producing reification-between theory and practice, ideology and discourse.
