The department „Historical Regimes of Normativity” has restructered its research profile. The well established research fields “Special Legal Orders” and “Doing Legal History” will be accompanied by new research fields that concentrate on three specific aspects of the history of law: the production and the glocalization of knowledge of normativity and knowledge of normativity from the sphere of the religious.
Die Abteilung „Historische Normativitätsregime“ hat ein neues Forschungsprofil. Zu den bewährten Forschungsfeldern „Sonderordnungen“ und „Rechtshistorische Praxis“ kommen nun neue Forschungsfelder, in denen drei Aspekte der Rechtsgeschichte im Mittelpunkt stehen: die Produktion und die Glokalisierung von Normativitätswissen sowie Normativitätswissen aus der Sphäre des Religiösen.
