Innovation and Transition in Law: Experiences and Theoretical Settings
This book features a discussion on the modernisation of law and legal change, focusing on the key concepts of innovation" and "transition". These concepts both appear to be relevant and poorly defined in contemporary legal science. A critical reflection on the heuristic value of these categories seems appropriate, particularly considering their dyadic value. While innovation is increasingly appearing in the present day as being the category in which one looks at the modernisation of law, the concept of transition also seems to be the privileged place of occurrence for such dynamics. This group of Italian and Brazilian scholars contributing to this volume intends to investigate such problems through an interdisciplinary prism. It includes points of view both internal to legal studies - such as the history of law, theory of law, constitutional law, private law and commercial law - and external, such as political philosophy and history of justice and political institutions.
Research Handbook on Law and Emotion
This illuminating Research Handbook analyses the role that emotions play and ought to play in legal reasoning and practice, rejecting the simplistic distinction between reason and emotion.
The Western Codification of Criminal Law
This volume addresses an important historiographical gap by assessing the respective contributions of tradition and foreign influences to the 19th century codification of criminal law. More specifically, it focuses on the extent of French influence – among others – in European and American civil law jurisdictions. In this regard, the book seeks to dispel a number of myths concerning the French model’s actual influence on European and Latin American criminal codes. The impact of the Napoleonic criminal code on other jurisdictions was real, but the scope and extent of its influence were significantly less than has sometimes been claimed. The overemphasis on French influence on other civil law jurisdictions is partly due to a fundamental assumption that modern criminal codes constituted a break with the past. The question as to whether they truly broke with the past or were merely a degree of reform touches on a difficult issue, namely, the dichotomy between tradition and foreign influences in the codification of criminal law. Scholarship has unfairly ignored this important subject, an oversight that this book remedies.

Lotta al brigantaggio
Questo volume offre una lettura integrata del fenomeno del brigantaggio scaturita dal confronto tra storici del diritto, delle istituzioni e storici tout court. I contributi, infatti, pur nella loro estrema varietà, pongono in evidenza alcune questioni comuni, a partire dalla centralità che il brigantaggio ha rappresentato nella storia italiana, dal periodo rivoluzionario francese al processo di unificazione nazionale, finendo con l’intrecciarsi tanto alla “questione meridionale” quanto alla “questione criminale” che avrebbero caratterizzato il dibattito pubblico e politico dei primi decenni post-unitari. Fa, poi, da corollario l’indagine sulla “costruzione” politica dell’avversario e l’analisi degli strumenti giuridici messi in atto per contrastare il dissenso, prevenendolo e/o reprimendolo.

I briganti e le vittime della nazione
Il volume ricostruisce il modello vittimario partendo dalla Repubblica napoletana (1799) fino ad arrivare alle vittime delle mafie dei nostri giorni. Il Risorgimento ha consolidato la figura della vittima, nella sua più ampia accezione – eroe, martire, patriota, caduto, danneggiato –, che diventa nell’immaginario della nazione un topos destinato a una fortuna duratura. Il movimento unitario sostiene una grande campagna per raccogliere risorse destinate ai «danneggiati del brigantaggio». Per la prima volta anche i poveri, rovinati dal conflitto civile, sono considerati vittime innestandosi nel processo di nation building. Il lungo periodo permette di risalire alle origini del discorso pubblico sulla vittimizzazione definendo periodizzazioni, individuando dati strutturali e interpretando passaggi congiunturali della storia nazionale, con uno sguardo aperto al confronto internazionale.
