The current pandemic has encouraged many to experiment with
new formats for research and teaching. In our own contribution to the trend,
the Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory and the Faculty of
Law at Tel Aviv University, in cooperation with the Faculty of Law at Goethe-Universität
Frankfurt, will be hosting an online Transnational Legal History Workshop this
coming semester.
Participants will discuss pre-circulated legal history
papers that go beyond national framings, with authors hailing from institutions
around the world. A sample of authors and topics:
· James
Whitman, "From Masters of Slaves to Lords of Lands: Imagining Ownership in
the Western World"
· Doreen
Lustig, "Towards a Grassroots History of International Law"
· Tamara
Morsel-Eisenberg, "Rabbinic Responsa and Legal Communication"
· Paul du
Plessis, "The Limits of Legal History"
· Elisabetta
Fiocchi, "Transnational Entanglements in Land Law and Land Registration in
the 19th Century"
· Heikki
Pihlajamäki, "Transnational Elements in Colonial Laws: Spain, Portugal and
the Netherlands"
The workshop will meet online Tuesdays at 7 pm Frankfurt
time from mid-October to mid-January (with a break for Christmas/New
Years).
Participation in the workshop is open to all interested
scholars, junior and senior alike. Students may be able to receive academic
credit through Tel Aviv University.
