The Yeoh Tiong Lay Centre for Philosophy Politics and Law and the Transnational Law Institute are delighted to present to you a talk by Professor Garapon on The Digital De-Spatialisation of Law.
Description
The Dean, Dan Hunter, will be the commentator on the Garapon talk and David Nelken will be chairing. This is one not to be missed.
Among its many other impacts, the digital revolution has troubled the relation between space and normativity. If law is no longer connected with space but is replaced by non-spatial computation based on software this has far-reaching consequences for legal procedures and the very idea of justice. A shared space is a condition for 'interlocution' and is also the very core of the civic pact.
The implications of this idea will be developed in a talk based on interdisciplinary collaboration between Antoine Garapon, a legal scholar, (Professor at the Law School of Sciences Po, Paris, France) and Jean Lassègue, a philosopher of science (Senior Research Fellow at the French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and Director of Centre Georg Simmel,Recherches franco-allemandes en sciences sociales, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris).
