We received notice of the following cfp:
Dear Sirs,
On behalf of the networking platform DIOGENES (Digital Network of European Legal Historians), acting within the framework of Critical Heritage Studies Hub (CHSH), established at the Faculty of Law and Administration of Jagiellonian University in Cracow (Poland), We would like to kindly invite you to participate in the International Scientific Conference ’Waterloo will wipe out, but that which nothing can wipe out is my Civil Code’. Methods and Models of Reception of Napoleonic Legislation in Europe the Era of the First Half of 19th Century’ is aimed at researchers in fields of law and history - in particular at Professors, PhDs, PhD students and graduate students.
DIOGENES aims to provide the opportunity to participate in attractive workshops and international panel discussions between young legal history researchers (especially PhD students) and budding post-docs, as well as advanced scholars of internationally recognized merit. The first, inaugural meeting, held in Krakow on October 12-13, 2023, gathered more than 50 researchers from around the world (including representatives from such centres as Stanford University, University of Michigan, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Universität Augsburg, Universität zu Köln, University College London, Universität Wien or Universidad Complutense de Madrid), proved to be a great success, allowing to spread the word about the project among the academic community.
Aiming to develop a platform and seeking methods to intensify relations between legal historians from different parts of Europe and the world, together with the Chair of History of Polish Law and Chair of General History of State and Law - both at the Faculty of Law and Administration of the Jagiellonian University we have decided to organize an International Scientific Conference on March 22, 2024, entitled: 'Waterloo will wipe out the memory of my forty victories, but that which nothing can wipe out is my Civil Code'; Methods and Models of Reception of Napoleonic Legislation in Europe in the Era of the First Half of the 19th Century. It seems that the subject of the event, focusing on the phenomenon of gradual harmonization of the norms of positive law from the Mediterranean basin to the Vistula Duchy of Warsaw, is a comparative issue that unites legal historians throughout Europe and makes it possible to emphasize the momentous role of the Napoleonic codes in shaping the legal consciousness of the societies of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. In particular, it is impossible to overestimate the influence of the famous Civil Code on changes in legislation, resulting in a slow departure from the model of the absolute enlightened monarch.
In the course of the Conference, we would like to compare the methods of reception, individual institutions, as well as the sustainability of French solutions in different European countries. For this reason, within the framework of the first expert panel, we would like to give the chance to researchers with recognized achievements and knowledge in the course of a joint debate, in which the audience would be briefly introduced to the process of implementation of Napoleonic regulations, its scope and actual impact on the situation in the Empire itself, as well as beyond its borders - in Spain, Italy, Germany and Poland (Duchy of Warsaw).
The conference will take place in an online form on the 22nd of March (Friday), 2024. Participation will be possible exclusively via MS Teams.
The event will begin at 10:00 a.m. with an expert debate between eminent specialists in the field of Napoleonic codifications, in which we have the incredible pleasure of hosting the following professors:
- Prof. Jean-Louis Halpérin (École normale supérieure - PSL, Paris, France)
- Prof. Aniceto Masferrer (Universitat de València, Spain)
- Prof. Annamaria Monti (Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy)
- Prof. Dr hab. Dorota Malec (Jagiellonian University in Cracow, Poland, Vice-Rector for International Relations and Head of the Chair in Administrative History and Thought)
After a short break, three consecutive doctoral-student sessions will be organised, in which, in the course of 15-minute speeches, active participants will present topics related to the conference theme.
Suggested topics include the following:
1. the reception of the Napoleonic Codes throughout the world, especially in Europe
2. the origins of the Napoleonic Code and its legal solutions
3. the influence of the Napoleonic Codes on European legal thought in the 19th century
4. civil codes inspired by the Napoleonic Code in the past and present
5. comparative studies on the differences in how the Napoleonic Codes were received Any other research topics that are in line with the conference topic will of course also be warmly welcomed. If you are interested in taking part in the conference, you just need to send us the topic of your speech and a short abstract (including 250 – 350 words). The length of the speech should not exceed 15 minutes.
Speech can be presented only in English.
We look forward to receiving applications by 10th March 2024.
