Law is often looked at, by jurists and others, as an autonomous field, independent from other domains; moreover, one without any sort of immersion in society. There is, however, by no means a shared consensus about this, as most analysts tend to, on the contrary, envisage law and legal systems, formal or informal, pluralist or not, as responding to the diverse contexts into which they are embedded. Different authors place a different emphasis on what these contexts are: for some, they are mostly economic, for others, cultural, for other social, or even linked to power structures; some others prefer to focus, instead, on their historical background. All do it within sociological templates. In class we shall try to carry an initial systematic and interactive study and analysis of legal institutions and forms, always from a sociological perspective. We will look at both international and national productions on this front, with as wide a disciplinary scope as possiblewithin context and in the chronological order of their conjunctures of emergence.
Programme aim and philosophy The Network of Transnational Doctoral Research is dedicated to the provision of adequate structures and platforms for the mentoring and exchange of views among early-career scholars. It aims to enhance the knowledge and exposure to the academic world of young researchers, with emphasis on the encouragement of innovative and independent research. The 2015 programme will focus on the complex and challenging topics included in the broader research area of Culture and the Law, in continuation of its 2014 event. While the primary aim is to encourage legal scholars to participate, train and exchange views, the conveners consistently support and promote interdisciplinary research that is deemed desirable to grasp the complexities of the studied areas. The Network has two objectives: 1. It aims to build a global research community of peers which is based on scientific excellence and a broad outlook on the current challenges of academic research in a globalized world 2. It will strive to mobilize scholars to be part of the current and future developments in the area of Transnational Law broadly understood. The objectives of the Network will be achieved by a programme of activities organized jointly with the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London, the Seconda Università degli Studi in Napoli, the Swiss Institute of Comparative Law and the Department of Comparative Law at the School of Law in Lucerne. Programme Themes Proposals for papers are invited from postgraduate researchers in order to foster links in research between students. Potential topics may include but are not limited to: • Globalisation, Culture & Law • Minorities and Diversities in Culture • Parallel Legal Systems and Ethnocultural Justice • Reconstructing Multiculturalism in Policy and Planning • Intercultural and Intracultural Diversification in law • Comparative and/or empirical practices of multiculturalism in legal systems • New directions in the construction of the role of law/culture in culture/law Selected papers may be invited to contribute towards the development of a themed edited volume.
