Course syllabus
The course is mandatory for those who aim to graduate with a dissertation in Sociology of law. Condition precedent for attending this course is having passed the exam of Sociology of law (basic).
This course is open to all students.
During the course some classics in sociology of law will be assigned and discussed dur-ing classes. Attention will be paid to translation problems from and to the Italian or English language concerning legal-sociological terms. Even more attention will be paid to how given legal sociologists conceptualize (and possibly operationalize) the continuum made up by social reality and, notably, socio-legal reality. This will enable the student to deal with the classics in this discipline and to understand the problems of conceptualizations in sociology of law, and their difference from legal-dogmatic ones.
