Resident at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften:
September−December 2017

Research topic at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften:
»The Spatiality of the Law in the Second Scholastic Thought«

Project outline:
The late scholastic thought takes shape in a very complex historical turn in which the universality of the Respublica Christiana is challenged by two new (opposite) issues: the discovery of the Americas opens to Christianity a field of expansion in a new world; the religious Reform in Europe sets new boundaries within Christendom. In the first case we are faced with the problem of how to support the »construction« of a new jurisdictional sphere. In the second case the problem is how to face the »deconstruction« (and, eventually, to promote the possible »reconstruction«) of a legal-political universal Frame for the Christendom. In both cases it is has been a matter of rethinking the relationship between law and space in the perspective of a possible space.
I would like to study, in the late scholastic, attitudes and approaches to the problem of law and space, addressing the two challenges (the American and the European) of the modernity. I would take in consideration especially three areas of investigation: classifications of the legal spheres; rules and processes for the establishment and legitimacy of (new) legal systems and regimes of government; regimes of rights and legal protection.
