DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Melanie Merlin de Andrade (Max-Planck-Institut für 
 Rechtsgeschichte und Rechtstheorie)\, Christian Boulanger (Max-Planck-Inst
 itut für Rechtsgeschichte und Rechtstheorie)\n\nWorkshop\n \n\n \nThe s
 ociology of law and other empirical studies of law cannot be fully underst
 ood without considering the social environments in which these research pr
 actices are embedded. In this sense\, the exchange of ideas among scholars
  from different cultures and regions is essential for advancing the field.
  With this in mind\, the workshop Transregional Histories of Sociological 
 Thought in/on Law seeks to explore the diverse and interconnected trajecto
 ries of socio-legal scholarship across regions.\n \nRather than focusing 
 on developments within individual nation-states\, the workshop aims to unc
 over broader regional patterns and the histoires croisées (Werner & Zimme
 rmann 2006) that link them. It responds to the limitations of methodologic
 al nationalism that often constrain disciplinary histories\, advocating in
 stead for a comparative and transregional historiographical perspective. \
 n \nThe workshop also deliberately looks beyond the label “sociology of
  law.” In many contexts\, socio-legal inquiry has developed under differ
 ent designations—such as “law and society” studies\, legal anthropol
 ogy\, or within other branches of the social sciences. Also\, the differen
 t forms of “sociological jurisprudence”\, as far as they have been tru
 ly sociological and not in name only\, need to be considered. The aim is t
 herefore to foster a broad and inclusive perspective that embraces this di
 versity of terminology\, methods\, and institutional contexts. \n \nBuil
 ding on the work of the History of Sociology of Law section of the Elgar I
 nternational Encyclopedia of the Sociology of Law\, the workshop is explic
 itly oriented toward the production of a collective publication. Participa
 nts will present and discuss case studies\, comparative analyses\, and the
 oretical reflections that examine socio-legal trajectories and their regio
 nal or transregional entanglements\, highlighting both internal dynamics a
 nd cross-cultural exchanges that have shaped socio-legal knowledge over ti
 me.\n\nhttps://plan.events.mpg.de/event/760/
