Lecture: Transition as a historical problem between "Achsenzeit" and "Sattelzeit"
22 January 2013
Prof. Dr. Paolo Pombeni (Italian-German Historical Institute in Trent; University of Bologna )
What do we mean by "historical transition"? Escaping from the trap of considering every development in history as a "transition", the presentation reflects on the problem of which ages could be understood as really bearing the meaning of being in a certain sense pivotal. The focus is on the question of defining a "modern age", which implies two different problems: 1) what does "modernity" mean; 2) which temporal extension do we assume proper for the age shaped by modernity.
Time and place: 18 h c.t. at the Auditorium of the Max Planck Institute for European Legal History
The lecture is held in English. Guests are welcome!

Workshop: Normative Pluralität in der Rechtsgeschichte und in Räumen begrenzter Staatlichkeit
January 24/25, 2013
Die rechtshistorische Forschung am Frankfurter MPI für europäische Rechtsgeschichte und die Untersuchungen am Berliner Sonderforschungsbereich 700 „Governance in Räumen begrenzter Staatlichkeit“ weisen zahlreiche Berührungspunkte auf, soweit es um die Erfassung normativer Phänomene außerhalb des staatlichen Rechts geht. Vielfach kommen dabei kongruente Forschungsbegriffe und Forschungsfragen zum Einsatz. An einer Kommunikation, die diese Gemeinsamkeiten zum Gegenstand hat, fehlt es allerdings bislang. Der zweitägige Workshop dient dazu, die beiden Forschungsstränge entlang dreier Leitfragen miteinander in Berührung zu bringen und wechselseitig Mehrwerte auszuloten.
Der Teilnehmerkreis ist geschlossen. Kontakt: Peter Collin
