Juridification of history \u2013 between collective memory, historiography and politics of memory <\/strong><\/em>is part of the Law and Memory<\/strong> project, dealing with topics related to juridification, politics of memory and historical revisionism. This year\u2019s conference focuses on the subject of juridification of history<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference will provide a legal and philosophical contribution to the discussion on the juridisation of history \u2013 a process of interference by legislator and the courts with public debate about the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juridification of history between collective memory, historiography and politics of memory<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The formulation of narratives referring to the past is a key element of the politics of memory by countries and nations competing for \u201cmoral capital\u201d or striving to achieve other goals. The memory laws (lois m\u00e9morielles, Erinnerungsgesetze, prawa pami\u0119ci) may therefore be either ant negationist or anti-defamatory. In the former case, they are to set the boundaries to historical denialism, whereas in the latter \u2013 to protect against libel and defamation, i.e. behaviors that also demonstrate strong, yet more subtle revisionistic potential. Whatever their nature, memory laws create legal taboos that restrict freedom of expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The premise of the conference is therefore to provide scientific perspectives on moral, philosophical, sociological and political questions related to the juridisation of history. Conference\u2019s main focus is on the laws enacted in various jurisdictions as well as judicial practice (national and international) regarding remembrance of Holocaust and other crimes committed during World War II. Some contributions will be dedicated to exploration of other junctions between law and memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
