‘Convivencia’:
Com-paring Legal Scenarios of a Life Together in Harmony
9th General Conference
Macau, 24-25 October 2024
The Theme:
‘Convivencia’: Com-paring Legal Scenarios of a Life
Together in Harmony
In a seemingly dystopian present or era of post-truth, can the various
dichotomous conceptions of law based on dualistic reasoning still be
maintained? Or, are we no longer able to maintain the narrative of a normative
universe by constantly creating and maintaining ‘a world of right and wrong, of
lawful and unlawful, of valid and void’, as Robert M. Cover wrote?
In view of the apparent contradictions caused by a growing number of
complex cross-cutting, cross-boundary and cross-cultural phenomena, such as artificial
intelligence, climate change or zoonotic diseases, the time may have come again
to rethink and transcend the dualisms that guided human thinking for a long
time, creating wide gaps between not only law and law, but also between law and
other scientific areas.
Juris Diversitas invites abstracts for papers that seek to not only identify different legal problems by contrasting their underlying causes but also by ‘com-paring’ them in the spirit of ‘convivencia or living together in harmony and in a way respectful of difference’. Convivencia is a term the late comparatist H. Patrick Glenn applied to explain ‘com-paring’ by describing it as ‘an enduring process of peaceful co-existence (in spite of difference in spite of potential conflict), in a way which ensures not uniformity but ongoing diversity’. While this call for papers is as open as it can be in a spirit of convivencia, we welcome proposals that apply a new legal logic aiming to break free from the ironclad shackles limiting the imaginative and creative power of the legal mind.
Registration Fees:
€200 or €125 for Juris Diversitas members
who paid their 2024 dues. Special rates for young scholars under the age of
thirty and scholars in developing nations: €150 or €75 for Juris
Diversitas members who paid their 2024 dues. Note that fees do
not cover travel, accommodation, or the conference dinner (€60).

Le thème :
« Convivencia » : comparaison des scénarios juridiques du
vivre ensemble en harmonie
Dans un présent apparemment dystopique ou une ère de post-vérité, les
diverses conceptions dichotomiques du droit fondées sur un raisonnement
dualiste peuvent-elles encore être maintenues ? Ne sommes-nous plus capables de
maintenir le récit d’un univers normatif en créant et en entretenant « un monde
de bien et de mal, de licite et d’illicite, de valide et de nul », comme
l’écrivait Robert M. Cover ?
Face aux contradictions apparentes causées par un nombre croissant de
phénomènes transversaux, transfrontaliers et transculturels complexes, tels que
l’intelligence artificielle, le changement climatique ou les maladies
zoonotiques, le moment est peut-être venu de repenser et de transcender les
dualismes qui ont longtemps guidé la pensée humaine, créant de grands écarts
non seulement entre le droit et le droit, mais aussi entre le droit et les
autres domaines scientifiques.
Juris Diversitas fait appel à des contributions qui cherchent non seulement
à identifier différents problèmes juridiques en contrastant leurs causes
sous-jacentes, mais également en les « comparant » dans l’esprit de «
convivencia ou vivre ensemble en harmonie et dans le respect de la différence
». Convivencia est un terme que le regretté comparatiste H. Patrick Glenn a
utilisé pour expliquer la « comparaison » en la décrivant comme « un processus
durable de coexistence pacifique (en dépit des différences et des conflits
potentiels), d'une manière qui garantit non pas l’uniformité mais une diversité
dynamique ». Si cet appel à communications se veut aussi ouvert que possible
dans un esprit de convivialité, nous valorisons les propositions qui appliquent
une nouvelle logique juridique visant à se libérer des chaînes qui limitent le
pouvoir imaginatif et créatif de l’esprit juridique.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Travel:
Macao has an
international airport securing connections with Mainland China and East Asian
cities (to Europe via Beijing, Shanghai or Taipei). Hong Kong airport is the
closest international airport connected to Macao via shuttle buses that travel
to Macao via the Hong Kong-Macao-Zhuhai bridge in around 40 minutes. The
shuttle bus is available directly from inside the airport area as a transit
connection, without entering into the Hong Kong territory. Tickets are
available at the dedicated desk clearly indicated in the arrival area. For more
information please refer to https://www.macauhkairportbus.com/infomation.php?lang=en.
After passing the Macao border at the Hong Kong –Macau
Bridge Port you can find taxis or dedicated bus to go to your hotels. Taxis are
reliable and have meter: please ask for a receipt (fa-piao) if necessary.
Accommodation
and conference venue: The city
is plenty of accommodation choices at different prices. If you want to proceed
with your own reservation, please note that the conference venue is at the
Faculty of Law of the University of Macau, Hengqin campus and it can be reached
by taxi or public transport from the city centre. We have secured a 25%
discount for conference participants at the Sofitel Macau at Ponte 16, please
click on this link to make a reservation.
For
further information about Macao, please refer to https://www.macaotourism.gov.mo/en/.
Visa
requirements: Please check the
requirements for entry into Macau, as visa requirements differ from country to
country, and can change at any time. Information can be found on the website of
the Macau government https://www.macaotourism.gov.mo/en/travelessential/before-you-travel/entry-requirements. Also consult the issuing authority in your home
country for updated information.
Currency:
The Macao currency is the
Pataca. It is possible to withdraw money from all ATMs and credit cards are
welcome everywhere.
Weather:
The weather in October is
fairly good with an average of 24-27 degrees Celsius. Nights could be a bit
fresher, ranging between 20-24 degrees Celsius. It would be wise to bring
something along if you are planning to be out in the open at night.

Palermo, 19-21 June 2023
Dystopian Visions of the Law
Could Francis
Bacon have decided the Earl of Oxford’s case the other way? What would
have happened if he did? What if Hua Guofeng had maintained leadership over the
Chinese Communist Party longer after the death of Mao Zedong?
We can learn
a lot about our history and present from a rigorous exercise of this kind. At
any critical historical junction, struggles occur, and different forces and
tensions collide, followed by a history written, or re-written, by winners:
many historic elements get lost in narration.
Dystopian,
alternative histories highlight societal elements that often survive and keep
operating undercover for a long time – despite having officially been lost.
Juris
Diversitas is proposing its members and friends worldwide participate in this
visionary, fascinating exercise: devising, researching and producing rigorous,
fact-based dystopian visions of any legal experience, with a view to unearthing
hidden elements of the legal systems dealt with and their actual normative
impact.
Registration:
Email Professor Olivier Moréteau at moreteau@lsu.edu, with indication of name, institution and email address as you want them to appear on the list of participants.
Conference Fees:
€200 or €125 for Juris Diversitas members who paid their 2023
dues. Special rate for young scholars under the age of thirty coming for the
first time and scholars in developing nations: €150
or €75 for Juris Diversitas members who paid their
2022 dues. Note that fees do
not cover travel, accommodation, or the conference dinner (€50).
A reduction of €25 will be applied to the fees for
registration before 31 March 2023.

Regards dystopiques sur le droit
Francis Bacon aurait-il pu décider que la
common law l’emportait sur l’equity (Earl of Oxford’s case)? Que
serait-il arrivé s’il l’avait fait? Et si Hua Guofeng avait tenu le Parti
communiste chinois plus longtemps après le décès de Mao Zedong?
Il y a beaucoup à apprendre sur l’histoire
et sur le présent en se livrant à de tels exercices, pourvu que ce soit fait avec
rigueur. Chaque tournant critique de l’histoire donne lieu à des luttes, au
choc de tensions et de forces qui s’opposent, les gagnants écrivant et
réécrivant l’histoire. De nombreuses informations historiques se perdent dans
la narration.
Les récits historiques dystopiques ou
alternatifs font ressortir des forces sociétales qui souvent survivent et
continuent d’opérer de manière occulte, alors qu’elles sont officiellement
réputées disparues.
Juris Diversitas propose à ses membres et
ses amis du monde entier de participer à cet exercice fascinant et visionnaire
: il s’agit d’identifier et de produire par une recherche rigoureuse un regard
dystopique factuel d’une expérience juridique quelle qu’elle soit, dans l’idée
de révéler des éléments cachés du système juridique choisi ainsi que leur
véritable impact normatif.

The conference's primary theme is the diffusion (transplantation, reception, migration, contamination, etc) of both laws and law-like norms, past and present and around the globe. A critical element in the creation of all legal and normative traditions, diffusion takes many forms. It may be overt or covert, voluntary or involuntary, concentrated or diffuse, colonial or neo-colonial, etc.
Presentations may be case studies or theoretical analyses of diffusion; they may be general (at the level of legal traditions) or specific (trusts, family law, etc.). Participants might analyse, among other topics, entangled legal histories, the diffusion of Western legal models outside of the West, the dominance and rationale for the present diffusion of Anglo-American legal forms, the relevance of legal origins and traditions on contemporary structures, practices, the place of ‘mixed’ and ‘micro’ legal systems, etc.
