Law and History: Ricostruire il passato per costruire il futuro. Storia e memoria nel prisma del diritto

Dear students,
maybe you will be interested in this great event, which will take place in our University on the 31st of May (2:30 pm) and on the 1st of June 2012 (9:30 am).

Ricostruire il passato per costruire il futuro: storia e memoria nel prisma del diritto

Giovedì 31 Maggio (ore 14.30) e venerdì 1 Giugno (ore 9.30) 2012
Facoltà di Giurisprudenza, Aula del Consiglio
via Ostiense 159 Roma

Il convegno Ricostruire il passato per costruire il futuro: storia e memoria nel prisma del diritto è una iniziativa realizzata con il contributo della Fondazione “Centro di Iniziativa Giuridica Piero Calamandrei” e del Ministero dei Beni Culturali nell’ambito del PRIN-Progetto di ricerca di interesse nazionale “Le ferite della storia e il diritto riparatore” ed è promosso da: Università Roma Tre, Università di Bari Aldo Moro, Università di Napoli Federico II, Università del Salento.

In maniera crescente si assiste negli ultimi anni ad un processo di “giuridificazione” della storia, intesa sia come eventi ritenuti memorabili, sia come attività di ricerca su di essi.
Nel primo convegno di questo PRIN l’attenzione era stata focalizzata sui modi attraverso i quali il diritto viene invocato ed applicato per riparare le ferite, individuali e collettive, arrecate da vicende storiche. In questo incontro conclusivo l’obiettivo è quello di rafforzare il dialogo inter-disciplinare muovendo dalla storia del diritto verso un “diritto della storia”.
Sotto questo aspetto dallo studio del passato emergono importanti lezioni per il giurista che non intenda essere solo spettatore nell’antico, e attualissimo, dibattito sull’uso pubblico della storia.

About the final exam

Dear all,
just to be sure you have understood how the exam works: there will be a question about each topic or, if you prefer, a question related to each speaker. That means that there will be several questions on law and literature: on the movement in general (Skeel) on Dante (Steinberg) on Legal humanism (Decock), etc. I am sure you will find your favourite topics among the questions. I have prepared 13 questions and you have to choose your favourite 2.
No vocabularies or notes admitted!
See you tomorrow

GIORGIO RESTA AND ENRICO MARIA POLIMANTI ON LAW AND MUSIC

Dear all,
on Thursday and Friday (as usual at 10:00 am, room 4), Prof. Giorgio Resta (University of Bari) and Enrico Maria Polimanti (professional pianist) will introduce us to the very special topic of Law and Music, with particular focus on the similarities between legal and musical interpretation.

This special event is open to all people interested, so please promote it!
Don't forget to come on Wednesday at 2:00 for our "repetition".


Suggested readings:
- J. Frank, Words and Music, in 47 "Columbia L. Rev.", 1259 (1947) .
- D. Manderson, Fission and Fusion: From Improvisation to Formalism in Law and Music, in "Critical Studies in Improvisation", 6.1. (2010). http://www.criticalimprov.com/article/viewArticle/1167/1726  


Enrico Maria Polimanti's CV:
Enrico Maria Polimanti was born in Rome in 1969. He studied at the Conservatorio di
Santa Cecilia and at the Royal College of Music in London, and has performed as soloist and
in chamber ensembles for many concert seasons and music festivals, playing a wide range
of traditional repertoire but also works by lesser-known composers such Lodovico Giustini
and Hyacinthe Jadin. He has played programmes dedicated entirely to Mozart, Haydn,
Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann and Debussy. Several composers have also written works
for him, one of whom is Francesco Giammusso, whose Piano Concerto he performed in Paris with the Orchestre Internationale de la Cité Universitaire.
Mr Polimanti’s recordings for the labels Tactus and Naxos gained recognition by the
critics in Italy and abroad (5 stars The Listerner and Musica) and his performances have been broadcast in Italy (Radio 3, V Canale della Filodiffusione, Radio Vaticana, RAI 3), France, Romania and Austria.
Engaged in the diffusion of musical culture, he regularly gives lectures and lecture- concerts in various schools, associations and universities both in Italy and abroad. Enrico Maria Polimanti has translated into Italian Charles Rosen’s Beethoven’s Piano Sonatas and Jean-Jacques Eigeldinger’s Chopin vu par ses élèves. His essay The Earth has many keys, which analyzes the works of five Italian contemporary composers based on the poetry of Emily Dickinson has been selected for the American Literay Scholarship (Duke University
Press).

On Law and Archeology

Dear all,
I have a couple of questions to ask you. Try to answer using the knowledge you acquired during the course on Medieval and modern legal history.

1) During Prof. Gadeyne's lectures, we have seen that in the late antiquity we can observe a "privatisation" of public spaces in the city of Rome. This is a very typical phenomenon of the whole Middle Ages, with particular reference to late antiquity/early Middle Ages. I am thinking about the development of the so called "patrocinium" and of the "buccellari". Can you tell me what they were? You will certainly find the answer in Ennio Cortese's "Le grandi linee della storia giuridica medievale".

2) Spolia: In the Middle Ages (starting from late antiquity)  to renew meant to "reuse" the past. This is true not only for great monuments like the Arch of Constantine, but also for legislation. The idea that codes are to be written ex novo is a very modern one. Can you tell me what is the difference between "consolidations" and "codifications" according to Mario Viora? What was the Content of the Theodosian and Justinian Codes? Can you describe the phenomenon of the canon law falsifications of the 9th century? Which was at that time the role of "auctoritas"?

The Arch of Constantine can also be seen as a visual representation of the phenomenon of "vulgarisation" of the law in the eraly Middle Ages. You have seen that the engravings of the period of Constantine where not as refined as the others. The point wasn't that the artists weren't that good anymore, but that their audience  was different and they had to apply a new, simplified language. That is comparable with what happened in the framework of law.

As you can understand, late antiquity was a period of great changes and innovation, a period in which very different cultures, religions, languages came suddenly together: don't think that it meant only decadence!

Jan Gadeyne's CV:
Jan Gadeyne has a PhD in Archaeology and Ancient Art History and an M.A. in Classics from the Katholieke  Universiteit Leuven (Louvain, Belgium).  He also studied late antique art and archaeology at the Westfälische Wilhelmsuniversität Münster (Germany). He came to Rome in 1987 with a grant of the Italian government and studied early Christian Archaeology at the Pontificio Istituto di Archeologia Cristiana. Since 1988 he has been teaching for several American study abroad programs, including Temple University, Cornell University and Trinity College, and periodically lecturing for architecture programs, among them, University of Maryland, University of Miami, Pratt Institute and Yale University.
