Descrição:
Algorithmic decision making is now truly widespread among several sensitive contexts of everyday life, and it raises difficult and important questions from a socio-legal perspective that need to be discussed in a transdisciplinary fashion to be properly tackled. In this session, we shall intertwin different perspectives on the subject – technical, ethical, and legal – providing a far-reaching overview of different legal areas such as criminal and civil justice, data protection, and competition law. In this way, we also intend to contribute to the overall reflection proposed by the 2022 theme of the meeting since algorithmic discrimination may be seen as just one other form of perpetuating injustice and inequality.

Moderadora: Dee Smythe* (Investigadora CEDIS)
*Co-chair do Program Committee da conferência, juntamente com Michele Goodwin e Pierre Guibentif.
Descrição:
In this time of unprecedented rage and reckoning around historical injustices of violent oppression and dispossession, what, if any, is the role and value of the apology? Drawing on essays from South Africa in a forthcoming edited volume, this is the first of two panels on apology. The panels seek to unpack some of these meanings and their relationship to histories, politics and laws that regulate, punish and remediate harm. In theorising turns to – and away from – the apology, the papers in the first part explore the politics of the apology in context, focusing on injurious relations of power; reparative shame; white denials of racial injustice; vernacular dispute management forums in rural settings; and land dispossession and restitution.

Descrição
In 2019, scholars from the Global South, inspired by Kim Scheppele’s 2019 LSA Presidential Address on “constitutional assassinations”, began discussing collaboration on the uses of law by autocrats to consolidate power and resistances to such moves. They labeled their initiative the Project on Autocratic Legalism (PAL). In 2020, some of those scholars submitted a successful proposal for an IRC on Autocratic Legalism in Brazil, India, and South Africa. This initiative, dubbed PAL-BISA, brought together a broad team of researchers and an Expert Advisory Committee. In 2021, PAL-BISA was selected as the inaugural topical laboratory of LSA’s global collaborative program (GCP). This session shares findings from PAL-BISA studies on Brazil while putting those findings into a BISA comparative perspective.

«Constitutionalism(s): from liberal to digital – 200 years of Portuguese constitutionalism»
Tipo de Sessão: Mesa Redonda «Local Arrangement Committee»
Moderador: Presidente do Tribunal Constitucional, João Caupers, Professor Catedrático Jubilado da NOVA School of Law
Participante da Mesa Redonda: Cristina Nogueira Silva* (Professora Associada e Vice-Presidente do Conselho Científico; Investigadora CEDIS)
*Coordenadora das Sessões apresentadas pela LAC & NOVA School of Law/CEDIS e das 2 sessões de Tributo a António Manuel Hespanha.
Descrição:
200 years ago (1822), a constitutional monarchy was born in Portugal, replaced by a constitutional republic in 1910. Constitutionalism emerged in the context of the nation-state as a means to structure and limit political power and to guarantee fundamental freedoms and rights within a sovereign community. Constitutionalism progressed along with political, as well as economic and social change. Today, constitutionalism is challenged by an array of dynamic forces that range from globalisation to digitalisation. Following Teubner (2004), one might ask, “how is constitutional theory to respond to the challenge arising from current major trends, digitisation, privatisation and globalisation?” “The point today is to discipline quite different social dynamics.” By viewing constitutionalism as both beyond and within the state, societal constitutionalism (Golia, Teubner, 2021) may help envisioning responses to constitutional challenges in the 21th century, notably in the transnational economy and in the digital sphere.

«Bridging Legal Theory and Socio-Legal Studies in the Iberian context»

Coordenadora LAC & Moderadora: Patrícia André* (Professora Convidada da NOVA School of Law e Investigadora CEDIS)
*Membro do «Local Arrangements Committee» (LAC); Responsável pela programação do «LAC Film Program»
Descrição:
To describe and provide explanations about the law, its contents and the legal phenomenon in general is a goal shared by many legal theorists and socio-legal scholars. Yet, fruitful conversations and conjoint undertakes between researchers and theorists from both disciplines are still scarce. With this session, we intend to provide an opportunity to stimulate debate between researchers and scholars within the Iberian context and encourage the advancement of both fields in Portugal, where these epistemic communities are still underdeveloped.

Investigadora de Pós-doutoramento na NOVA School of Law) e Claire Bright (Professora Auxiliar NOVA School of Law e Investigadora CEDIS)
Descrição:
Linkages between human rights and the environment are increasingly recognized and legitimized through law and policy, most notably in the SDGs, but also in other institutional, legal, and political realms. Under what conditions do human rights offer pathways to alter our destructive relationships with the natural world and each other? Can rights energize efforts stymied by inertia, unyielding power dynamics, or systemic barriers to change? Or are human rights susceptible to the same blind spots and power plays as any other policy? What can we learn about alternatives by examining instances where human rights violations and environmental damage intersect? This panel seeks to explore evidence from around the world regarding the role and utility of human rights as mechanisms of social transformation vis-à-vis environmental challenges.

Participante da Mesa Redonda: Dee Smythe* (Investigadora CEDIS)
* Co-chair do Program Committee da conferência, juntamente com Michele Goodwin e Pierre Guibentif.
Descrição:
There exists a vast range of scholarship on law & society in Africa. This notwithstanding, much of that scholarship can be charged with reproducing centuries old tropes of a dark “Africa” marked by underdevelopment, poverty, violence & disease. Largely underrepresented, often inaccessible & lacking visibility is scholarship that engages or seeks to understand the everyday construction, location & use of law in African societies, in ways that that do not exoticise or continue to build on irredeemable colonially conceived notions of Africa.

Descrição:
This roundtable aims to discuss concepts and issues raised by the research project “Legal Pluralism in the Portuguese Empire (18th-19th centuries)”; namely, the concept of “legal pluralism”, contrasting it with others that have been advanced in the literature, such as “interlegality” or “multinormativity”. We’ll also discuss the modalities of this pluralism in different territories and periods to establish a possible chronology for legal pluralism in the Portuguese Empire. Finally, based on the knowledge that the participants have on other imperial experiences, it will also be discussed how these experiences communicated and, from this reflection, think about the place of the Portuguese experience in the global history of European Empires.

Autor: João Pedro Pinto-Ferreira (Professor Convidado da NOVA School of Law e Investigador do CEDIS)
Descrição:
This in-person panel brings together researchers who have used empirical methods to better understand debtors and the ways they navigate legal proceedings. Three presentations will explore different aspect of Portuguese legal proceeding: how the corporate pre-insolvency process compares with the new pre-insolvency process for individuals, why the pre-insolvency process for individuals is not being used more, and how the length of the discharge period impacts the goals of personal insolvency law. Other presentations will look at how workers in the social and health sectors in the Netherlands are collaborating to support individuals overcome debt and health problems and how childcare expenses may be partially responsible for women in the United States of America deriving less of a benefit from bankruptcy than men.

Título: «Challenging the narrative of Portugal as a migrant welcoming country: immigration detention and the shadows of migrants’ legalisation at times of Covid-19»
Autores: Francesca Esposito e Emellin de Oliveira (Doutoranda na NOVA School of Law, Investigadora do CEDIS e Guest Lecturer no Instituto Politécnico de Leiria)
Descrição:
This session looks at what happened to irregularised migrants and people in detention centres during the Covid-19 syndemic in different countries in Europe (Italy, Portugal, Sweden and Danmark and Northern Ireland). We asks to what extent these new practices of racialised containment may be maintained, expanded and exported in the near future, and crucially what does the ‘exceptional’ nature of these practices tell us about the ‘ordinary’ mechanisms at play in these cruel institutions? Overall, what emerges across the different national contexts is a situation of abandonment, neglect and abuse on the part of state authorities and private corporate actors who collaborate with them, as well as a selective functioning of the detention system which ultimately reproduces a racialized and gendered hierarchy of ‘detention deservingness

This session is based on historical research into the use of law and the courts by subalternized groups (slaves, freedmen, indigenous people and women), in order to discuss the hypothesis of a law of the underlings of today: drawing from concrete examples of historical subalternized and their conceptualization, we suggest updating the notion and category of underlings that are judged by today’s courts and squeezed into the legal system, identifying who fills the category today and what type of law is reserved for them.

«Projections/Interpellations: Visions of International Law and its Visions of Us»
Tipo de Sessão: Paper
Título: «Legal Framings in Social Media: The Case of Search and Rescue in the Mediterranean»
Autor: Veronica Corcodel (Professora Auxiliar NOVA School of Law e Investigadora CEDIS)
Descrição:
Visuals, visualisations and visions are part and parcel of the making and operation of the international legal order. This session explores the projects and interpellations resulting from these visions through a discussing of the relationship between visual stories and the construction of ‘human shields in international humanitarian law; the mobilisation of gendered tropes of mothers and criminals within the context of debates about ‘responsible’, ‘sustainable’, ‘good’ or ‘fair’ mining in an artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASM) in western Kenya; and the nuances traversing – the otherwise seen as nationalist and right-wing monolithic – Visegrad Group (V4) (the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia). Session members also discuss the relationship between law and social media on search and rescue (SAR) operations in the Mediterranean; the interplay between hypervisibilisation and invisibilisation within the context of the Napier Barracks in the UK’s deterrence policies and its ill-treatment of migrants; and the alternative truths that emerge from El Salvador’s United Nations 1992-1993 Truth Commission (UN-TC) (the first truth commission created and managed by the UN after the end of the Cold War) and a tapestry’s account of the Sumpul River massacre created in the 1980s by a Salvadoran woman, as a representation of the first reported massacre of the civil war.
