Conversations on New Histories of Capitalism, the Department of Law of the European University Institute, and the Information Society Working Group, are pleased to announce the forthcoming conference entitled “Commodification and the Law” to be held at Villa Salviati in Florence, Italy on the 12th and 13th of December 2022, featuring eight panels and keynote speeches by Professor Daniel Markovits (Yale Law School) and Doctor Johanna Stark (Maw Planck Institute for Tax Law and Public Finance).
This conference aims at contributing to present debates on law and capitalism by advancing a critical understanding of the role played by law in current and historical commodification processes. It brings together established academics and early-stage researchers to present compelling case studies from a range of legal domains and historical periods that demonstrate the expansion of market structures in society. It will place lawyers and lawmakers in the spotlight to reveal the parts they have played – and continue to play – in the propagation of commodities. It will also explore the contours and consequences of the commodification of law itself to better map the tangled relations between law and the market.
The sessions will feature a hybrid format via Zoom.
