The INTELLEX Symposium (12–13 June 2025), hybrid from the IFLG in Thurnau, Germany, explores the intellectual history of legal history through a diverse range of themes, periods, and regions. Participants examine how legal knowledge has been shaped, taught, and transmitted from the early modern period to the 20th century, across Europe and into colonial and post-colonial contexts.
Keynote Speakers:
Heikki Pihlajamäki, University of Helsink: "How legal histories are written: codification, modernization and taxonomy of law."
Sören Koch, University of Bergen: "From the spirit of legislation to the spirit of law – changing perspectives on legal history in Denmark and Norway"
Key themes include:
Codification and conceptual foundations of law (e.g., Roszkowski on international law, Conring on the Holy Roman Empire)
Interdisciplinary intersections between law, theology, medicine, and philosophy (e.g., Zacchia’s forensic medicine, Conring’s Hermetic medicine).
Pedagogical and institutional developments in legal education (e.g., French and Hungarian curricula, Tunisian visual legal culture).
Colonial legal systems and their legacies, with case studies from Rwanda and Tunisia.
Intellectual biographies of influential legal thinkers like Mancini, Eckhart, and others.
The symposium spans Europe (France, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Germany, Scandinavia) and North and East Africa (Tunisia, Rwanda), covering periods from the 17th to the 20th century, and reflects on how legal history has been written, taught, and politically instrumentalized. |
