The Constitution in the Work of Niklas Luhmann
No full textIn an additional section Giancarlo Corsi and Johannes Schmidt explore the Luhmann’s methodology of his famous card index in search of references to the specific issue of the constitution. Luhmann conceived the card index as a huge amount of notes with a numbered fixed location, each related to a previous note and with no specific or predetermined order. Schmidt’s research clearly demonstrates that the meaning of each note in this filing system derives from its references to other notes, in an often fragmented connection. In this context, Luhmann’s card index sheds light on the character of a difficult tool that drives its user towards unexpected results, almost inevitably leading to ideas that cannot be deduced directly from the filing system itself. Luhmann wrote notes and then put them in what he called his Zettelkasten in order to surprise himself. And it comes as no surprise from a scholar who had a particular sensitivity for paradoxes
On Paradoxes in Constitutions
No full textIn the opening chapter, Giancarlo Corsi offers an overview of the main reasons why the constitution is a paradoxical concept. A sophisticated approach like that of the general systems theory in particular of its self-referential variant is capable not only of revealing the constitution’s paradoxes, but also of suggesting corresponding solutions. Constitution is a self-constituting set of norms which furnishes a sense to the legal system as a whole. This can be achieved by distinguishing between two different parts of the constitution: a general part containing the basic values indicated by the constitution’s fundamental point of reference, and an instrumental part that identifies certain basic procedures for translating those values into reality. This dichotomy is also related to the ambiguous role of the fundamental rights that cannot be generalised in a normal constitution because they are connected to case-by-case definitions handed down by the administration of justice. One example of circular self-reference that underpins paradoxes is the transfer from political to legal systems and vice-versa: this is supported by constitutions, and open to constant revisions and self-critical adjustments whose purpose is to communicate acceptable criteria of rationality to other systems and concretely to define the constitutionality-unconstitutionality dichotomy

Determinants of Farmers’ Participation in AFNs
No full textIn this chapter Corsi, Novelli, and Pettenati analyse the reasons that lead farmers to adopt direct selling or more generally AFNs, distinguishing between on-farm and off-farm direct sales. The issue is discussed first from a theoretical perspective. Next, empirical evidence is presented, using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Using census data, the determinants of the choice to sell directly on-farm and off-farm are analysed on the basis of farm structural characteristics, farmers’ personal characteristics, and geographical explanatory variables. Then the results of an in-depth qualitative analysis of individual motivations carried out with a focus group of local producers are presented. The results highlight the technical constraints to the adoption of the direct chains as well as the subjective motivations, both monetary and non-monetary
Primed real estate : film producers and land development, a conversation with Karl Schoonover and Barbara Corsi
No full textKarl Schoonover and Barbara Corsi about the shared history of film financing and real estate redevelopment that they discovered in the archives of Italian cinema production during the 1950s and 1960s. The dialogue between Schoonover and Corsi proposes a crucial reframing of Italy’s ‘cinema of economic miracle,’ and in doing so, exposes how the business of property inflected stardom, the depiction of landscape, tourist films, and cinema aesthetics
Uno studio pilota nei conservatori musicali italiani
No full textLa galassia delle opportunità formative determinate dal sistema educativo pubblico italiano, dominante in un sistema in cui alla componente privata è spesso affidato un ruolo subalterno, individua in alcuni particolari settori forme elettive, destinate a soggetti portatori di peculiari attitudini, difficilmente valorizzabili in un sistema generalista. In questo campo, un ruolo peculiare viene rivestito dalle istituzioni dedicate alla cultura e alla pratica musicale. L’indagine, caratterizzata come studio pilota, mette a confronto tre Conservatori musicali, appartenenti a contesti territoriali diversi, cercando di costruire un quadro informativo relativo alle aspettative, ai percorsi formativi e alle realizzazioni professionali degli studenti. Facendo seguito ad una serie di investigazioni preliminari (colloqui, interviste, focus group), condotte con la fattiva partecipazione della Dirigenza, del personale Docente e degli studenti, è stato prodotto e distribuito un questionario aventi lo scopo di definire operativamente e censire i costrutti delineati. Pur con tutti i limiti imposti alla formazione e, soprattutto, alla rappresentatività del corpo dei dati ottenuti, l’indagine permette di delineare alcuni scenari utili a focalizzare l’attenzione sulla realtà dei Conservatori. Lo sguardo attento, rivolto all’interno, è da considerare indispensabile per riflettere sulla struttura organizzativa e portare alla luce il problema dell’educazione e della formazione musicale, a partire da come emerge dal percorso storico. Un equilibrio instabile nel corso degli anni ha cercato di mantenere insieme identità e formazioni eterogenee, rivolte alla ricerca di uno sviluppo coerente, per coglierne la logica che ne prefigura l’evoluzione. Qui, come in altri contesti, la difficile sfida sembra dunque essere quella di coniugare il rigore della formazione d’eccellenza con i necessari adeguamenti indotti dai repentini mutamenti in atto
Introduction
No full textThe image of constitutions that derives from a socio-legal perspective assumes a profoundly different standpoint. A constitution can be considered a milestone in the internal evolution of a legal order, as well as in the external processes of the legitimation of law. The relations between formal rationality and the capitalist economy, which should be reconstructed referring to the constitutional principle of the freedom of contract, can actually be limited in the most advanced Western legal orders and in their constitutions by apparently contrasting perspective. From a socio-legal perspective, the legal order is presented as compatible with other organised social norms. According to Luhmann, legal structures are connected with processes of normative experience, generalisation and abstraction. The selective inclusion of external elements into social systems is so important for Luhmann that he elaborates specific concepts, so as to designate different ways of mapping the borders of the legal system
