Friday 3 March 2017
Room B111, Uni-Bastions
Colloque organisé par Laure Zhang avec la collaboration de Samuel Guex, Jérôme Bourgon et Luca Gabbiani.
Toute personne intéressée est la bienvenue.
The value of the case study approach is well recognized in the fields of law and legal studies because it allows in-depth, multi-faceted explorations of complex issues in their real-life settings. The objective of this workshop is to read and study some judicial cases in East Asia in the 18th and 19th centuries, in order to highlight different socio-cultural, political and legal significations in the late imperial China, Chosŏn Korea and 19th century Japan. A particular focus will be on the dynamics of law applications in the light of these cases and from a comparative perspective.
