Il ruolo del giudizio negli ordinamenti sovranazionali – The Role of Judgment within Supranational Orders
No full textLa conversazione interdisciplinare in sette interventi riflessa nelle pagine di questo Speciale si origina in un progetto europeo finanziato nel quadro dei programmi Jean Monnet. Precisamente, nel progetto Human Rights Culture in the European Union1, da me diretto presso il Dipartimento di Filosofia e Scienze dell’Educazione di Torino nel triennio fra il 2017 e il 2020. Il progetto aveva fra i propri obiettivi l’indagine del concetto di «cultura giuridica», con particolare riferimento al tema dei diritti umani e al contesto politico, giuridico e geografico dell’Unione europea
Critica dell’ordine sociale e liberazione femminile
No full textThe essay proposes an interpretation of Chiara Bottici’s feminist an-archè as a stance that can free feminism (especially legal feminism) from the dangers of having just one exclusive root. Taking anarchism as a methodological framework, it also invites us to ground female liberation in transindividual ontology by questioning society as a whole
Beware of (bad and dangerous) metaphors: remarks made at the intersection of cognitive linguistics and law
No full textMetaphors show quite clearly how language affects our understanding of the world. When used consistently and continuously, metaphors, in fact, participate in the way we organize our knowledge by means of structures called idealized cognitive models. They somehow become part of our thoughts and also of our way of conceptualizing other things which are apparently unrelated. In this chapter, I analyze some weird/wrong/potentially dangerous uses of metaphors
The Myth of the Law through the Mirror of Humanities: Perspectives on Law, Literature, Psychoanalysis, and Aesthetics (special issue)
No full textThe Myth of the Law through the Mirror of Humanities: Perspectives on Law, Literature, Psychoanalysis, and Aesthetics
No full textIn this Introduction, we present some of the themes currently at the core of law and literature and law and humanities scholarship in Italy. In doing so, we aim at relaunching a peculiar style in Italian law and literature scholarship, by giving value, peculiarly, to its rhetorical and humanistic roots, and especially to what can be traced back to the tradition of Italian thought, across various generations of scholars under the common purpose of depicting forms and modes of the relationship between the dishomogeneous codes of individuality and universality, across diverse methodologies, namely the literary and narrative forms, aesthetics and myth, and the intimate and collective dimensions at the core of psychoanalysis
An Interdisciplinary Approach to Legal Terminology: Challenges of the “Algorithmic Turn” in Legal Science
Full text linkIn this paper we aim to discuss the current challenges of legal science caused by the diffused use of AI software in various legal operations (verification, drafting, risk analysis and prediction). Working on the threshold between legal philosophy and computer engineering, we are going to address especially one problem, i.e. how the meaning of terms used in legal documents might be fixed differently because of the progressive and increased use of AI software by legal professionals (lawyers, judges, notaries). To do so, we are going to refer to Herbert Hart’s idea that all legal concepts – via the terms referring to them – always have a core of settled meaning, but are also characterized, as well, by a penumbra of debatable cases in which words are neither obviously applicable nor obviously ruled out. These are so-called “hard cases”. Here are some questions that we aim to address: is it possible to anticipate the potential emergence of hard cases and hence prepare legal software to deal with the core-penumbra problem in legal meaning? How can machines perceive the relevance of the context and of societal change (fundamental aspects in Hart’s legal theory of meaning)
Legal Science and Computer Science: A Preliminary Discussion on How to Represent the “Penumbra” Cone with AI
Full text linkLegal science encounters significant challenges with the widespread integration of AI software across various legal operations. The distinction between signs, senses, and references from a linguistic point of view, as drawn by Gottlob Frege at the end of the 19th century, underscores the complexity of legal language, especially in multilingual contexts like the European Union. In this paper, we describe the problems of legal terminology, examining the “penumbra” problem through Herbert Hart's legal theory of meaning. We also analyze the feasibility of training automatic systems to handle conflicts between different interpretations of legal norms, particularly in multilingual legal systems. By examining the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence on traditional legal practices, this research contributes to the theoretical discussion about the exploration of innovative methodologies for simplifying complex terminologies without compromising meaning
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
