Based on selected works by Marx and Gramsci, the article aims to analyze the imbrications between law, social contradiction and the attribution of meaning to social relations. As a cultural phenomenon that claims to order reality, law nevertheless tends to be reduced to the promise of containing contradictions, disregarding its direct insertion in social materiality and in the disputes over its meaning.
