Abstract:

»The Emperor and the Constitution. An Analysis of Brazilian Conceps of Sovereignty in the Brazilian Constitutional Debates 1821–1824 against the Background of Early European Constitutionalism«: After its independence in 1822, Brazil became a constitutional empire with the Portuguese heir to the throne as its head of state. The Constituent Assembly's constitutional project failed, and instead a constitutional octroi was enacted. The author examines the discussions of the Constituent Assembly and the public discourse surrounding the constitution-making process. She also examines the influence of European constitutions on the constitutional project and the constitutional octroi.

Abstract:

The Southern Low Countries were among Europe’s core regions for the repression of sodomy during the late medieval period. As the first comprehensive study on sodomy in the Southern Low Countries, this book charts the prosecution of sodomy in some of the region’s leading cities, such as Bruges, Ghent and Antwerp, from 1400 to 1700 and explains the reasons behind local differences and variations in the intensity of prosecution over time. Through a critical examination of a range of sources, this study also considers how the urban fabric perceived sodomy and provides a broader interpretive framework for its meaning within the local culture.

On the author:

Jonas Roelens, Ph.D. (2018), Ghent University, is postdoctoral researcher at that university, where he teaches gender history. His Ph.D. thesis received the Erik Duverger Award. He is co-author of Verzwegen verlangen. Een geschiedenis van homoseksualiteit in België (2017).

Abstract:

Le cléricalisme fait aujourd’hui débat et soulève de multiples questions. Comment penser la discipline cléricale et le rapport entre le prêtre et les ? dèles au sein de la paroisse, ou la relation de l’évêque avec le clergé de son diocèse ? Le clerc, le prêtre, la hiérarchie cléricale doivent-ils être mis à part de l’ensemble de la société ? Si elle ne répond pas aux questions du XXIe siècle, l’histoire fournit des clés susceptibles d’éclairer ces débats brûlants d’actualité. Que savons-nous de la vie religieuse des villageois qui, sous la conduite d’un prêtre, se rassemblaient dans les églises dont les clochers, ruraux ou urbains, continuent d’égailler nos paysages ? Dans la société chrétienne de l’Occident médiéval, au ? l du temps, l’image du prêtre de paroisse se dessine, dans une Église toujours soucieuse tant de garantir sa liberté que de se réformer. Constituant le premier ordre de la nation, elle mène une lutte acharnée contre les intrusions exagérées des laïcs. Il convient de protéger le prêtre contre toute entreprise laïque abusive et d’assurer son indépendance à l’égard des pouvoirs temporels, tout en le plaçant, vis-à-vis de l’évêque, dans une relation d’obéissance ? liale qui n’est pas servitude. Une stricte discipline de vie s’impose à lui ; elle vise à renforcer le prestige nécessaire à l’exercice de sa mission supérieure, celle de conduire chacun au salut. L’ouvrage retrace ce lent cheminement de réformes, constamment remises sur le métier, même lorsque les efforts des décennies précédentes semblent avoir porté leurs fruits.

Abstract:

»DROIT LOCAL: German Law in France at the Beginning of the 20th Century«: After the Franco-German War, Germany had annexed some departments in eastern France and made them into the ›Reichland Alsace-Lorraine‹. German law was gradually introduced there. After the reversion of the departments to France, German law was initially applied in full and later in part, because considerable resistance had arisen against the elimination of numerous legal institutions. This monograph deals with this German law in 20th century France.

Abstract: 

»Between Contrat de Mandat and the Principle of Abstraction. The Principles of Representation in Judicial Practice of Alsace-Lorraine from 1871 to 1900«: In his study, Moritz P. Bach examines the judicial practice in Reichsland Alsace-Lorraine at a place where and time when the German ADHGB from 1862 clashed with the French Code Napoléon from 1804, both conveying very different principles of representation in civil law. After a comparison of aforementioned legal texts, the author uses case law analysis to verify that Alsacian courts interpreted and developed French law according to the German ADHGB and its categories.

The International Research Network I.R.N. PHEDRA organizes its second summer school in La Rábida (Palos de la Frontera, Spain) on 25-28 June 2024.

Following the basis of the first summer school, the purpose of the event is to provide an exceptional opportunity to the participants to present their ongoing research before a group of specialists in commercial legal history matters, in order to generate fruitful discussions resulting in valuable feedback that will enrich and improve their work.

PHEDRA project concerns the history of business law, from Antiquity to the present day, focusing on norms and practices that developed around Europe to support commerce and business exchange which led to the transformation of societies and gave commercial law its features. The project is particularly interested on the sources we use to trace and reconstruct the evolution of commercial law, paying careful attention to the cultural background that constitutes its “European legal ecosystem”.

The summer school is addressed to PhD students and young post-doc working on related topics to business law history in the framework of the chronological and geographical scope of PHEDRA project.

Opening up to the social sciences being one of the methodological pillars of PHEDRA, the organizers not only encourage the application of legal history PhD students and young post-doc, but also historians, economists and social scientists in general. The second PHEDRA summer school intends to produce stimulating interdisciplinary discussions in a very international and friendly academic atmosphere.

All travel, accommodation and meal costs of participants will be covered by the organization.

Structure of the sessions

A key goal of the summer school is to create a useful and stimulating academic experience for all participants.

Ample space will be given to the presentation and discussion of research work by PhD students and young postdocs.

Each session will also consist of a lecture or workshop led by one or more members of the pedagogical team. This will facilitate active exchanges between participants and lectures throughout the event. Since the main objective of the summer school is to provide feedback to PhD student and young researchers, the structure of the sessions prioritizes discussions rather than long presentations.
