8th General Conference
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.
Submissions:
Panel proposals and interdisciplinary presentations are
strongly encouraged, as is the participation of doctoral students and scholars
from outside of the discipline of law. While parallel sessions featuring three
presentations of twenty-minute each will be the pattern, more creative
arrangements are encouraged.
Proposals
should be in English or French. Proposals of circa 250 words (or
1000 words for panel proposals with three or more speakers) should be submitted
to Professors Salvatore Mancuso (smancuso63@yahoo.it) and Christa Rautenbach (Christa.Rautenbach@nwu.ac.za) by 15 February 2023, with a
short biography paragraph listing major or relevant publications. Make this a
single Word document with minimal formatting, so that proposal and biography
can be copied easily into the conference program.
Registration 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.
Communications :
Les propositions
de tables rondes et présentations interdisciplinaires sont encouragées, de même
que la participation de doctorants et d’universitaires non-juristes. En plus
des sessions parallèles avec trois orateurs parlant chacun vingt minutes, les
organisateurs invitent à une organisation plus originale.
Les
propositions, en anglais ou en français, de 250 mots environ (ou 1.000 pour une
table ronde de trois présentateurs ou plus) sont à adresser aux Pr
Salvatore Mancuso (smancuso63@yahoo.it) et Pr Christa Rautenbach (Christa.Rautenbach@nwu.ac.za) avant le 15 février 2023 avec une brève notice biographique
donnant la liste des principales publications. Merci de composer la proposition
et la notice biographique dans un seul document Word, avec le minimum de mise
en forme, pour faciliter la composition du programme.

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.
