We learned of a workshop on methodology at the Max Planck
Institute in Frankfurt. Participation is subject to registration at
glono@rg.mpg.de.
Methodologically, the Glocalising
Normativities project is based on the legal history in global
perspective developed at the MPIeR in recent years: sensitivity for the
diversity of different forms of normativity (multinormativity), for processes
of translation, for the spatial dimension of law, and for how norms were used
and mobilised in situations of conflict. The Glocalising Normativities project
aims to contribute to a global legal history by decentering the observation of
normative production. It does so by focusing on detailed local case studies from
places in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas.
Since the problems of method and sources are central,
the Glocalising Normativities project will conduct periodic
workshops to discuss issues of method, media and law, normative praxeology,
institutions, translation, and the larger problems of conceptualizing and
conducting global legal history. The aim is to foster discussion with
researchers and guests based on hands-on experience in the use and
interpretation of sources. The first of these workshops will take place on 21
August 2019 at the MPIeR. Participation is subject to registration at glono@rg.mpg.de.
