Collection : Histoire 

Résumé de l'éditeur : Entre l'abolition de l'esclavage et les indépendances, une réglementation du travail s'est progressivement et très diversement implantée dans les colonies. Ce sujet méconnu a fait l'objet d'une recherche collective de plusieurs années ayant mobilisé de nombreux chercheurs et dont ce livre est issu. Il repose sur l'exploitation de milliers de documents d'archives, en très grande partie inédits. Du Maroc à l'Indochine, du Cameroun aux Antilles, ce livre apporte une pierre inédite à l'histoire du colonialisme et à celle du droit social et il lève un coin de voile sur le « mauvais sort » fait aux travailleurs de l'outre-mer qui n'et pas sans lien avec l'aspiration des peuples à l'indépendance. 

Editor's summary : Between the abolition of slavery and independence, labor regulations gradually and very differently took hold in the colonies. This little-known subject has been the subject of collective research over several years that has mobilized many researchers and from which this book is based. It is based on the exploitation of thousands of archival documents most of them unpublished. From Morocco to Indochina; from Cameroon to the West Indies, this book brings an unprecedented stone to the history of colonialism and of social law. It lifts a corner of the veil on the "wrongdoings" done on the workers of the other side-sea which is not unrelated to the peoples' aspiration for independance.

Journal Comparative Legal History: Dialogues on Otherness in Comparative Legal History

15 June 2021 – 17:00-18:00hs (CEST)

The journal Comparative Legal History is an official academic forum of the European Society for Comparative Legal History. It was first published in 2013 and aims to offer a space for the development of comparative legal history. Based in Europe, it welcomes contributions that explore law in different times and jurisdictions from across the globe. Submissions are currently welcome and are being assessed on a rolling basis. 

The journal will host a one-hour public session to discuss on how to deal with otherness in comparative legal history. Editors (past and present) will present exploratory points and all attendees will be invited to join in a general discussion. 

Otherness is a multidimensional topic. It can relate to, inter alia, methods, disciplines, literature, culture, systems, and time periods. Otherness is needed when crossing time and space, it is needed when seeking for answers within and beyond specific environments. Exposure to otherness can only be beneficial for the disciplinary growth of comparative legal history.

The event is free and open to the public, and it will take place via Zoom. 

Registration is required by sending an email to clhdialogues@gmail.com

NEW JOURNAL: Fundamental rights. Rivista di studi giuridici, storici e antropologici (I, 2021/1). OPEN ACCESS

(Source: https://fundamentalrights.it) 

ABOUT THE JOURNAL 

FundamentalRights.it was born from an idea of ​​Carlotta Latini and Aldo Andrea Cassi, or rather from the meeting of their respective scientific and educational experiences.

The PhD cycle based at the University of Camerino dedicated to Fundamental Rights, coordinated by Carlotta Latini, was an excellent training ground for studies and the development of research on fundamental rights. The research doctorate is in fact the place of choice in which new theories and studies are experimented.

The teaching of Legal Anthropology activated at the University of Brescia in 2015, strongly supported by Aldo Andrea Cassi, who is still the owner, in addition to encountering the growing lively interest of future jurists, has gradually become a laboratory of “Epistemological experimentation” in the analysis of intercultural approaches to the idea of ​​’Justice’ and to the aspiration of a ‘Law’ which is its historical implementation.

These two experiences found an encounter (sometimes becoming a ‘clash’, however it proved to be very fertile) on land as mined as it was necessary to cross. In fact, we believe that despite (or, on the contrary, precisely because) there is much talk of “fundamental rights” (or “human”, “inviolable”, “non-negotiable”, “natural” etc .: semantic focus is one of the fields of the challenge), a rigorous reflection is required in argumento.

Considerations that the journal intends to conduct intersecting research, skills, experiences and methodologies that are not homologated (within narrow and segmented “scientific-competitive” perimeters as the current bureaucratic matrix of the Italian University requires), but on the contrary characterized by epistemological interrelations harbingers of perspective openings.

We have in fact relied on historians, jurists, psychologists, philosophers, medical examiners, both at the level of the Scientific Committee and that of the authors invited to contribute, in the belief that the challenge of which, as Directors of the Journal, we are standard bearers (undeservedly and recklessly, but with authentic ethical and scientific conviction), requires a cultural paraphernalia characterized by a high scientific level and a multidimensional epistemological status.

The idea for the magazine matured during the first spread of the Covid-19 epidemic: during the experience of “great segregation” that our generation suffered, while the virus was spreading, it made sense to question the course, and also on the new course, which fundamental rights have had, in the awareness that the discussion on these rights touches naked nerves, complex and often angular issues (including, for example, the role of constitutions, the latitude of fundamental freedoms and of individual rights in the face of an essential protection of a “common good”) to be dealt with in the complex, unresolved relationship between authority and freedom.

The natural, ratione materiae, juridical vocation of the Journal is therefore accompanied by vocations (and sometimes pro-vocations) afferent to other fields of knowledge and research, diversi sed non adversi.

INDEX OF THE FIRST ISSUE

Presentazione del numero

1. Isabella MERZAGORA, Ageism e scelte tragiche ai tempi del Covid-19. Anziani e diritto alla cura nell’emergenza 

Choices between medial needs and available resources have always been a relevant ethical issue - they are in fact called tragic choices -, and this issue has definetely grown acute during the Codiv-19 pandemic. Among the criteria identified by the bioethical Literature for these so called tragic choices, we find the "utilitarian" one: it consists in calculating how many extra lives can be saved of how many more years of life can be guaranteed by making a choice. This criterion, if applied to these choice of favoring young people to the detriment of the elderly, may fall under a discriminatory attitude called ageism, in analogy with racism and sexism. 

2. Cristina ZUCCHERMAGLIO, Marzia SAGLIETTI, Lisa CERANTOLA, La partecipazione dei bambini e delle bambine come diritto, processo, pratica e forma. Voci, riflessioni ed esperienze dal campo dell’alternative care 

One of the most fundamental rights of the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of Children is the right to be heard (art. 12). When developed into the right to participate, it questions adult's daily practices to interact with children. in this respect, promoting the right to participate in the alternative care field calls for a peculiar act of balancing the rights of children with the rights of other relational stakeholders (parents, relatives, social worker and so forth). Drawing on ethnographical data gathered in research experiences, trainings and experiences in the field, this contribution analyzes children's participation in alternative care as a right, a process, a practice and a form, revisiting children's agency and their involvement as co-authors and co-constructors of their life-contexts

3. Simona CACACE, La sepoltura del bambino mai nato 

This paper focuses on the lawfulness of the practice of fetus' burial, following the interruption of pregnancy, without the woman's consent and with the indication of her surname. Subsequently, the legislative gap about the definition of "stillborn" is investigated, with the consequent registration of the birth certificate

4. Carlos DE CORES, Raúl GAMARRA, El derecho humano fundamental al libre desarrollo de la personalidad 

This article looks for defining and shaping the concept of free development of one's personality as a fundamental human right. In order to meet such goal, the starting point is the concept of fundamental human rights as defined in international instruments as the Universal Declaration or Human right issued by the General Assembly of the United Nations Organization in 1948. Afterward, attention is be paid to the effectiveness of such rights, affirming the historical need and opportunity to achiede standards of basic equality among all human beings without exclusions and the importance of obtaining wide consensus about the metrics of human development such as the Human Development Index created by the United Nations Development Program, that should go far beyond economic parameters

5. Aldo Andrea CASSI, I «diritti fondamentali» nella costruzione di un ponte tra Occidente e Oriente. Testata d’angolo o pietra d’inciampo? 

This essay means to highlight anthropological aspects which explain the current distance between the "Declarations of human/fundamental rights" and the "Asian values". Moreover, it regard the extraordinary figure of Raimon Panikkar as a possible interface between these two worlds. It finally indicates in Pope Francis' encyclical letter Fratelli tutti the key to approach the "fundamental rights" more compatibly with the holistic demands of the eastern anthropology and culture

6. Alberto TEDOLDI, La composizione delle liti sine iudicio. De profundis per il processo civile? 

The contemporary financial word places at the center the homo oeconomicus, videns et consumans, with his individual desires raised to inalienable rights. The positive law and the law in general have now fallen into a state of "legal entropy", wich requires to re-think the role of the judge and to leave more and more rooms for ADRs, as instruments of better and more appropriate search for the right solution for the concrete case, the result of autonomy of the parties rather than heteronomous authoritative imposition. Hence the opportunity, argued in the essay, to abandon the logic of adjudication of litigation, to make room for more effective and appropriate methods of dispute resolution, in a social and economic context compared to which long and complex judicial procedures are now obsolete, inadeguate and unimprovable.

 7. Carlos PETIT, La inseguridad de Mr. Meade (1812) 

These pages deal with the sad case of Richard Meade, an American merchant based in Cadiz. The problems in collecting his claims against the Spanish government (1812) and the aggressive response of the institutions raised serious doubts about the effectiveness of constitutional guarantees of personal security

8. Carlotta LATINI, “Non è italiana”. Enrico Ferri e la difesa dell’attentatrice di Mussolini 

Violet Gibson is known to have been the assailant of Benito Mussolini. Her history, that is far from to have been completely written, still causes doubts and interest. In this context the meeting between Enrico Ferri and Violet Gibson because of her defense will be examined

 INDEX OF THE ISSUE

Manlio BELLOMO, Memorie di umanità e diritto. In ricordo di Pietro Barcellona

Law, justice, humanity. Profiles of legal historiography in country and sea life.

Gerhard DILCHER, Statuti comunali italiani del Medioevo: fondamenti costituzionali, materie disciplinate, cultura giuridica

The article gives an overview of the medieval development of Italian city communities and their statutory legislation, the theoretical and practical problems regarding the relation between statutory law and ʻImperialʼ Roman Law, between jurisprudence and legal practice in this situation.

Beginning in the time of Emperor Frederic Barbarousse, there arose a rivalry between the political and theoretical legitimation of law from above (the Emperor, Justinianʼs codification of Roman Law) and from below (Communities and their Statutes). Corresponding to this rivalry there existed a division between pro-imperial theory (universities, doctores) and practice (iurisperiti, iudices in the service of the communities). An important role played the lawyers in the service of the podestà, serving from year to year in different cities. The analysis of eight statutes shows, that they tried to give a theoretical legitimation of their legislation in a prooemium, different in pro-imperial and in pro-papal cities. Mostly, the statutes avoided to regulate problems solved in Roman Civil Law, but gave rules regarding the competence of the communal offices, the process of law, penal law and special problems of urban life. So the lawyers of the urban collegium iudicum could in many cases apply Roman Civil Law. Since the 14th century an integration of ius commune and ius proprium took place by a new and more sophisticated theoretical approach, and parallel to this an integration of theory and practice, of doctores and iudices. So, in the Italian city communities during the Middle Ages an important development of legal culture took place, earlier than in most other parts of Europe.

Andrea PADOVANI, Sulla legittimità dell’imposizione tributaria. Teologi moralisti, giuristi e ius proprium (sec. XIII-XV)

The fiscal drag has always propounded juridical, economic, ethical, religious problems as well since today. After the feudal age, the impressive development of the italian commune and of the national kingdoms required new sources of revenue due to a larger bureaucracy and frequent military enterprises, more and more expensive. The first author who thoroughly examined the issue, around 1236, was Raymond of Peñafort. His Summa de Paenitentia exerted a wide influence over the following moral theologians and some canonists until the XVth century. If civilists did not equally echoed Raymond’s views, it does not mean that they disregarded the ethical and religious facets of taxation. Both, moral theologians and lawyers as well, were forced to admit, at least, that existed a radical contrast between the ius commune and the fiscal praxis and legislation of the italian cities. At the end, the whole question – related to direct and indirect taxation – did not find a positive solution or arrangement. The final section of this paper therefore explores some – few, indeed – statutes issued by medieval italian statutes and by the kings of Sicily.

Atria A. LARSON, Johannes de Deo’s Liber Poenitentiarius and the State of Kanonistik in the Mid-Thirteenth Century

A Portuguese secular priest, doctor decretorum in Bologna, and prolific author of canon law texts, Johannes de Deo wrote a successful Liber poenitentiarius in 1247. This essay reviews the scholarship on this under-studied figure in the history of canon law, provides a summary of his Liber poenitentiarius, and analyzes one section, treating the conditions of a genuine confession, that helps contextualize Johannes’s work. It argues that Johannes was a successful synthesizer of the canons who practiced consistent methods in the discipline of canon law and remained conversant in larger discussions across Latin Christendom in the thirteenth century.

Beatrice PASCIUTA, La Lectura Peregrina di Andrea da Isernia e la costruzione editoriale degli apparati al Liber Augustalis

The history of the Liber Augustalis, from manuscripts to printed editions, makes it possible to follow the path of adaptation of the glosses into two apparatuses, the Glossa Ordinaria by Marino da Caramanico and the Lectura Peregrina by Andrea da Isernia, which includes the notes of other jurists. Although moving in the wake of the literary genres of the school, this kind of interpretation is eminently practical. The aim is to create a link between the Liber Augustalis – still in force but often obsolete – and the law promulgated by Angevin sovereigns, fragmentary and unsystematic. For the legal science of the Regnum, the interpreter’s task is to put together these different legal sources, creating a harmonious system and a ‘set of rules’, functional to practice.

Rosalba SORICE, La rilevanza penale della colpa nel Medioevo. Ricerche sulla Doctrina Bartoli

An important concept on which medieval jurists reflect concerns the need to build in maleficiis figurae of criminal liability that respond to the principle of voluntariness, the cornerstone of the medieval Christian world. This perspective has seen jurists committed to defining the contents of full and intentional responsibility, and at the same time to tracing the procedural and punishable boundaries of all those actions that have produced an event other than the willed, justified in foro poli and not sanctionable from earthly Justice, if not in the compensation dimension of civil damage. At the beginning of the fourteenth century, in a changed political-institutional perspective, Bartolo da Sassoferrato with his thought constructs the juridical dimension of the penal culpa as a psychological element, distinct from the voluntas, but relevant in maleficiis, helping to sculpt one of the most important principles of criminal law.

Osvaldo CAVALLAR, “… in eius memoriam et venerationem conserva”. Due consilia autografi di Baldo degli Ubaldi conservati nei MSS Foligno, Biblioteca L. Jacobilli, 467 e 497

The ‘Biblioteca L. Jacobilli’ of Foligno (Umbria) has preserved two legal opinions (consilia autographa) penned, subscribed and sealed by Baldus de Ubaldis († 1400). Baldus’s vast production of consilia – the early printed editions contain just about 2.500 items each – is well known. His opinions constitute an invaluable source for exploring every conceivable facet of late medieval Italian society, as well as for mapping legal history. In contrast to this vast production, the original consilia the jurist has sent to the requesting party – typically, a judge or one of the parties to a trial – that came down to us are just a minority. The first of these two consilia has been printed and now it is possible to compare the text the jurist conveyed to the commissioning party – the authoritative text – with that of the printed editions. On the plane of content, it foregrounds Baldus’s penchant for abstraction for he had to balance the single penalty and the multiplicity of clauses in an arbitration that was contested by one of the contracting parties. The medieval concept of ordo allowed him to navigate safely between the Scylla of the single penalty and the Charybdis of the multiplicity of the clauses contained in the document. The second one, in fact two pieces, throws light on a conflict of iuspatronatus between the nobility of Foligno, on one side, and the abbot of the Benedictine monastery of San Benedetto al Subasio in Assisi, on the other, over the church of S. Angelo di Rosario. The two texts Baldus wrote for this conflict illustrate how consilia can be used for highlighting a fragment of local history on which local historians have labored with little profit. Last but not least, the two specimens stand as witnesses to Baldus early and very elegant handwriting. Further, the last consilium is also relevant because under Baldus’s signature and seal there is a handwritten note of Tommaso Diplovatazio who saw the document when he was governor of Gubbio. The appendix presents a critical edition of the consilia and related documentation.

Dolores FREDA, Il diritto d’asilo in Inghilterra tra medio evo ed età moderna: una ricognizione critica

The essay, starting from an exam of the existing literature on sanctuary between the middle ages and the early modern period, relates its origins, discipline and evolution, until its final abolition in 1624. It highlights that the role played by canon law in the development of the English institute gives a contribution to the idea of the existence of a common European legal tradition since the middle ages.

Andrea BARTOCCI, John of Capestrano and His Itinerant Library: Some Observations on His Legal Books

Shortly before his death in the Franciscan convent at Ilok (October 23, 1456), on the border between Croatia and Serbia, John of Capestrano instructed the friars, gathered around his deathbed to assist him, to bring his goods (including his books) to the Capestrano convent. After his death, his goods were inventoried (December 3, 1456) and among them many legal books were found.

The paper’s aim is to illustrate the close relationship between Ambrogio Lorenzetti’s frescoes in Siena’s Town Hall on one side and the People’s political culture at the beginning of the XIV century on the other; this one was very much influenced by the tomistic culture and by the religious preaching about Justice and Peace, both of which are to be found in Bartolus’ “political” treaties. Liberty’s value is not explored by jurists but for legal status of the individual.

A presente obra é constituída por um conjunto de artigos – a maioria recentes, mas, também, com alguns clássicos da história do direito – que nos permitem vislumbrar a história do direito penal na modernidade a partir da complexa interface entre os campos jurídico e político. O lapso temporal do livro cobre aproximadamente dois séculos, englobando as origens da modernidade jurídica no final do século XVIII, o século XIX e algumas variações tardias do paradigma moderno no século XX na Europa e no Brasil, dois espaços jurídicos aparentemente bem determinados, mas que, por vezes, vão se entrelaçar nas narrativas de alguns capítulos.

CONFERENCE: 4th Annual Conference: Law and Policy in European Integration (1960s-1990s) - Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory, Frankfurt am Main, 1-2 June 2021

(Source: Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory)

1 - 2 June 2021 - Organization by Stefan Vogenauer and Jan-Henrik Meyer

From its beginnings, European integration required legal solutions to very concrete policy issues. This led to the creation of a large body of policy-relevant law – ranging from agriculture and competition to the environment and social policy. The conference thus focuses on the relationship between law and policy in the process of European integration from the 1960s to the 1990s.

The relationship between law and policy goes both ways. On the one hand, we will explore how European law shaped European policy-making. To what extent did legal actors – lawyers within the institutions and courts – enable or obstruct the development of various policies and the legal instruments chosen? What legal norms, ideas and doctrines did they employ in doing so? On the other hand, we will investigate how European policy shaped European law. How is this influence reflected in legislation and judicial decisions?  

The objective of the conference is to enhance our understanding of what ‘integration through law’ means with a view to European policies. By bringing together case studies from a range of policy areas, we will be able to (1) flag up the varying roles of different actors involved, (2) compare the relations between policy and law across policy areas old and new, and (3) assess change over time, including potential path dependencies. We will thus acquire a better understanding of why and how European policy, which increasingly influences citizens’ lives, has come to address problems the way it does.

The conference will be held at the Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory, Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the conference will take place as a video conference. Participation will be free of charge and those interested should please send an informal message to jmeyer@rg.mpg.de. Further information as to the platform will follow in due course.

CALL FOR PAPERS: Third Legal Histories of Empire Conference - Beyond the Pale: Legal Histories on the Edges of Empires (Maynooth University, 29 June-1 July 2022)

Empires. Plural. Across time and across the globe, interconnected, mutually constitutive. We invite papers which consider the interconnections and the legal relations between empires. The conference will particularly focus on the role played by law (broadly defined) in facilitating, constituting, and enabling these connections; on the people of law who moved between these places; and the institutions which bound them together. How might we map Empires through these connections? How do we now conceptualise such movement, and are there new ways in which we could envisage legal interchange across time and place? Of particular interest are the connections between places with very different legal systems and traditions. How can we better bring together the efforts of historians working in different legal traditions? In this third Legal Histories of Empires conference we hope to more deeply uncover the legal threads that bound different empires, places, laws and legal traditions across the globe.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Il nome del giurista olandese Ugo Grozio (1583-1645) è tradizionalmente associato alla ridefinizione in età moderna del diritto naturale, del diritto delle genti e della questione della guerra giusta. In stretto rapporto con questa attività, la sua riflessione giuridica e politica si è confrontata anche con la nuova configurazione dello spazio mondiale prodottasi in seguito alle scoperte geografiche e alla proiezione delle potenze europee sugli oceani e sugli altri continenti. Il libro mostra che il significato storico e teorico dell’opera groziana può cogliersi solo guardando al di là dei confini del Vecchio Continente. Riletti in questa chiave globale, testi come il "De iure praedae" e il "De iure belli ac pacis" appaiono indispensabili per affrontare genealogicamente problematiche tuttora decisive: le relazioni tra l’Europa e il resto del mondo, l’eredita  del dominio coloniale, le tensioni tra universalismo e particolarismo insite nell’ordine internazionale moderno.
