Resumen de On the ‘Rationalities’ of European Private Law–Between the Internal Market and Law’s Discourse: a Reply to ‘Internal Market Rationality, Private Law and the Direction of the Union: Resuscitating the Market as the Object of the Political’

Leone Niglia

• 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.
