We learned of a call for papers
for a workshop of the Forum Latin America of the Max Planck Law Network. Here
the call:
Overview:
The 'Forum Latin America' is part
of the Max Planck Law network, which brings together the 11 institutes of the Max
Planck Society dedicated to research in different areas of law. The objective
of the Forum Latin America is to highlight the research of these institutes and
to generate opportunities for academic exchange between Germany and Latin
America.
Over the past 10 years, the Max
Planck Institute for European Legal History (MPIeR) has been developing lines
of research on the various forms of production and transformation of normative
knowledge that converged in the context of the Iberian worlds. This includes textual
forms of production, translation and circulation of normative knowledge, the
presence of pragmatic knowledge used in secular and religious fields, a wide
range of normative forms of production (including both moral theology and legal
doctrine) as well as implicit knowledge, traditions, belief systems,
conventions and local customs. In this sense, legal knowledge is considered a
form of normative knowledge that exists within a complex constellation of
normativities. These lines of research traverse the different collective
projects carried out by the MPIeR: Glocalising Normativities: A Global Legal
History, Salamanca School, and Historical Dictionary of Canon Law in Latin
America and the Philippines, among others.
Workshop:
The main objective of the
workshop is to offer participants an academically engaging space of encounter
and discussion on the history of law as a history of these normative
constellations. We seek to foster personal and institutional contacts among the
academic community and to foster scientific collaboration among participants.
The call is open to all
researchers who are developing related work in these fields from a variety of
different disciplinary perspectives, such as history (sociocultural, church,
intellectual, crime, etc.), ethnohistory, the history of law, theology, historical
anthropology or legal sociology. Particularly interesting will be research that
demonstrates a broad and well-documented view of the object of study and that
sheds light on the rich and complex relationships between different
geographical areas, cultures, legal schools and historiographic traditions.
