Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This workshop aims at developing questions and interdisciplinary approaches regarding the connection between society and law or the question of law in society. The topics (limits of the law; actors; communication; emancipation/empowerment; interdisciplinarity; methods within the field) will be approached through theoretical literature as well as through confrontation with empirical studies as well as the legal field. It will be our task to think together about law(s) in society, and to learn about functions and effects of the legal system and legal norms on society, subjects and identities. We want to deal with the mutual conditionality of law and society from a sociological perspective.
Assessment and permitted materials
(1) Active participation, (2) writting short essays, (3) together the essays produced during the workshop make up a cumulative paper. The evaluation will be based in equal parts on these three requirements.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The workshop aims at promoting and provoking thoughts about law and society and law in society. Critical discussion aims at questions such as: What is law? How can law be understood from a sociological perspective, which sociological (research) questions are possible? What is the connection between (human) rights and law? What does law do with society and society with the law?
Examination topics
The workshop will take place in seven block units, including an excursion to the regional court. The focus is on the discussion of the selected texts on six main topics - partially with invited guests with practical experience.
