The course aims to offer students, in the first place, the indispensable
'technical' detailed information on doctrinal styles, operating rules,
arguments and conceptual schemes in the main experiences of Western
and non-Western legal tradition; secondly, it aims to offer a vision of the
transnational and dynamic nature of most legal discourses.

esame orale

Programma esteso L’obiettivo del corso è lo studio di quegli elementi generali, espliciti ed

impliciti, che sono
ricompresi all’interno delle varie tradizioni giuridiche (mentalità
giuridiche, organizzazioni sociali e
economiche, strutture concettuali, classificazioni rilevanti, tecniche
argomentative,
rappresentazioni delle identità), della loro diffusione su scala globale,
delle modalità della loro
circolazione e dei loro effetti rispetto a singoli e gruppi nelle diverse aree
geografiche.
Il corso mira ad analizzare dunque le strutture istituzionali e culturali che
caratterizzano le diverse
tradizioni giuridiche e ne condizionano la produzione giuridica,
indipendentemente dalla capacità
dei singoli attori.
Il corso è articolato secondo un approccio seminariale ed interdisciplinare
in modo da affiancare al
diritto il contributo di altre scienze sociali e umanistiche. Durante le
lezioni saranno presentati,
analizzati e discussi, insieme agli studenti, i molteplici strumenti con i
quali il diritto è stato
utilizzato all’interno delle diverse tradizioni giuridiche allo scopo di
favorire l’avvicinamento o
l’allontanamento di esperienze giuridiche diverse.
Le lezioni si soffermeranno sul tema della globalizzazione giuridica e sul
fenomeno della diffusione
transnazionale del diritto e del pensiero giuridico. Infine il corso metterà
in luce alcune delle
differenze epistemologiche fra il diritto e le altre scienze umane, gli
intrecci storici ed attuali con
altre forme di normatività, il modo in cui tutte le altre scienze umane
elaborano un proprio
processo regolamentare, i propri canoni ed i propri stili. Ed infine del
modo in cui il diritto può
costituire un elemento catalizzatore di pratiche e saperi normativi
differenti con i quali può
entrare in contatto e generare conflitto, concorrenza ed armonia.

Educational objectives
The course aims, based on the most recent methodological acquisitions
of comparative analysis, to develop:
- the ability to orient oneself in multilevel systems, that is, characterized
by the pluralism of orders, rules and interpretations;
- critical knowledge of the various taxonomies of private law in order to
evaluate their historical relativity and the objectives that have been
reached in other systems with their use;
- the way in which similarities and differences have been outlined and
what the strategies and ideological projects of such legal discourses can
be.

ATTENDING STUDENTS
The final exam consists of either an oral exam or a written essay that
explores one of the topics touched upon during the lessons.
Extended program
The objective of the course is the study of those general elements,

explicit and implicit, which are
included within the various legal traditions (legal mentality, social
organizations and
economic, conceptual structures, relevant classifications, argumentative
techniques,
representations of identities), of their diffusion on a global scale, of the
modalities of theirs
circulation and their effects with respect to individuals and groups in
different geographical areas.
The course therefore aims to analyze the institutional and cultural
structures that characterize the different ones
legal traditions and condition their legal production, regardless of
capacity
of the individual actors.
The course is structured according to a seminar and interdisciplinary
approach in order to complement the
right the contribution of other social sciences and humanities. During the
lessons will be presented,
analyzed and discussed, together with the students, the multiple tools
with which the law has been
used within the different legal traditions in order to facilitate the
approach or
the removal of different legal experiences.
The lessons will focus on the theme of legal globalization and the
phenomenon of diffusion
transnational law and legal thought. Finally the course will highlight some
of the
epistemological differences between law and the other human sciences,

historical and current intertwining with
other forms of normativity, the way in which all other human sciences
elaborate their own
regulatory process, its own rules and styles. And finally of the way in
which the law can
constitute a catalyst element of different regulatory practices and knowledge with which it can come into contact and generate conflict, competition and harmony.
