Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This interdisciplinary seminar is aimed at doctoral students who deal with the issues of norms and effective law in their dissertations. In addition to fundamental legal sociological texts on the application of norms and normative pluralism, the seminar also discusses theoretical contributions to the current debate on multinormativity. The concept of multinormativity tries to get an eye on the normative resources that were available when solving problems and could come into conflict with each other, as well as to analyze the normative requirements of thinking and acting.

Assessment and permitted materials

The switch to home learning has forced us to adapt the organisation of the seminar. The learning contents and the learning objectives remain unchanged.
The discussion of the readings still serve the purpose of providing the participants with suggestions for their own work. The discussion of the readings will be shifted to the virtual space of the Moodle forums, however. For each text we expect three contributions: a) a short essay of about 1-2 pages in length, in which the argumentation of the reading is briefly summarized; b) a thesis-like formulation of the relevance of this reading for one's own research; c) comments on the theses of the others.
The oral presentation at the end of the seminar will remain. In the event that normal operation has not been restored by then, it will take the form of a short video that will be uploaded to Moodle where it will be commented on and discussed by the participants.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

- active participation in the discussions of mandatory reading in the Moodle forums, after normal operation is restored, attendance is mandatory again, students may be absent twice without excuse.
