The course aims to offer a broad, multi-disciplinary view of law. The legal science is not an autonomous science. Law is a social phenomenon and as such should be studied. Through an analysis of historical, sociological and philosophical sources, as well as thanks to empirical observation, during the course it will be studied the field of human rights, the topic of immigration and the semantic field of the prison by offering student theoretical and sociological tools to distinguish the normative functions of the prison from the social ones. The students will analyze in an active and empirical way the distance between the normative and the social function of the prison penalty.
teacher profile teaching materials
The course will develop through three modules:
1. In the first one, we will study the classical and contemporary themes of the relationship between law and society: the State, the property, the justice, the contract, the family, the punishment, the work, the human rights, the migrations.
2. The second module will offer more specific tools, i.e. the analysis of the symbolic, cultural and legal function of the contribution of feminist studies in relation to law, deviance and power. In particular, the relationship between the Thought of Sexual Difference and the doctrine of Juridical Experience will be investigated, both at a theoretical level and in the practices carried out in trials, as well as the concept of “Juridical Feminism” applied to the main themes of the present time: equality/difference; citizenship/borders; criminology/delinquency/security; justice/law/rights; gender/sexuality/reproduction; victim/victimology/vulnerability.
3. The third module will address the great contemporary theme of the crisis of the rule of law and the political use of punishment in the contemporary societies. In particular we will work on the concept of "penal populism".

Programme
The course will investigate the relation between law and social change in the present time, and in the theoretical and empirical foundation processes of the modern State. It will provide both the tools necessary for understanding emerging problems, and conceptual tools related to critical thinking and gender studies, together with the classic themes of the socio-legal thought.The course will develop through three modules:
1. In the first one, we will study the classical and contemporary themes of the relationship between law and society: the State, the property, the justice, the contract, the family, the punishment, the work, the human rights, the migrations.
2. The second module will offer more specific tools, i.e. the analysis of the symbolic, cultural and legal function of the contribution of feminist studies in relation to law, deviance and power.
