  The relevance of Eugen Ehrlich’s thought to empirical methods of law

  The year 2022 marks the centenary of Eugen Ehrlich's death. This great Austro- Hungarian jurist is often presented as the father of legal sociology. As a close observer of legal practices, he was the first to use and invent concepts that have become fundamental in legal sociology today, such as legal pluralism, living law, and legal consciousness. Ehrlich’s research revisits and reverses the illustrious tradition of the Pandects, established and perfected by legal scholars such as Savigny or Puchta. Although Ehrlich has inspired jurists around the world, he remains a little known figure in France. The present symposium is therefore devoted to reconsider the actuality of his thought, using the last chapters of his Grundlegung der Soziologie des Rechts (Foundation of the Sociology of Law) as a main reference. During the first day, specialists will introduce us to the concepts of his methodology of legal sociology and the influence he had on his contemporaries. Once the fundamentals have been established, the second day will highlight the dynamics of Ehrlich's thought for law contemporary research.

  The judicialization of social and environmental issues in Japan

  Continuities, transformations, evolutions

  This special edition aims to gain insight into how the use of the legal system and litigation have evolved. In Japan, recourse to the courts is relatively rare, but litigations have increased since the end of the 1980s in areas such as labour, consumer protection, family law and, more recently, climate change. Is a process of “judicialization” (shihōka) underway in Japan?

  China, a methodological challenge of the humanities and social sciences

  Reflections on new approaches

  Les recherches incluant la Chine posent de nouveaux défis en termes de méthodologie, de découpage disciplinaire et invitent à repenser la notion d’aires culturelles. Cette journée d’étude propose ainsi de réfléchir quant aux manières innovantes, aux collaborations originales, aux démarches collectives, aux connaissances à mobiliser autres que linguistiques, autant de thématiques questionnant les transformations à l’oeuvre dans l’étude de la Chine. Cette journée d’étude s’adresse aux étudiants, doctorants, jeunes chercheurs et chercheures n’ayant pas un parcours de formation et de recherche spécifiquement ancrés dans les études chinoises, mais qui intègrent l'étude de la Chine (ou tout du moins une partie de la Chine) dans leurs recherches transnationales.
