¿Qué es la sociología jurídica? En este video, Vincenzo Ferrari, quien es el actual Director Científico del Instituto Internacional de Sociología Jurídica de Oñati (IISJ), nos ofrece algunas respuestas para quienes se interesan por saber más de qué es y qué se estudia en la sociología jurídica.
¿Qué es la sociología jurídica?
La sociología del derecho o derecho y sociedad – como a veces se nombra, especialmente en Estados Unidos – significa aproximarse al derecho desde una perspectiva diferente respecto a la perspectiva típica de abogados y juristas. Significa, diría, ver al derecho como un tipo de acción social. Significa estudiar las relaciones entre el sistema jurídico y otros sistemas, como, por ejemplo, el sistema económico o el sistema político. Significa estudiar, por ejemplo, el impacto del derecho en la sociedad; que es particularmente importante porque el impacto del derecho puede ser distinto de las intenciones de los abogados. La sociología jurídica adopta los mismos métodos que son típicos de las ciencias sociales, lo que significa observar la realidad a través de técnicas codificadas de investigación como, por ejemplo, entrevistas, análisis del discurso, análisis de documentos y también observación directa de, digamos, aspectos sociales y jurídicos: las cortes, por ejemplo.
¿Qué aborda la sociología jurídica?
La sociología jurídica aborda todo el rango de temas que son cubiertos por el derecho y las ciencias sociales. Entonces, cada rama del derecho tiene su correspondiente en la sociología del derecho. Tenemos sociología del derecho familiar, tenemos sociología del derecho hereditario, del derecho corporativo, del derecho administrativo y, por supuesto, especialmente del derecho penal que es una rama importante porque es cercana a la criminología, lo que es comprensible, del derecho constitucional, por ejemplo. Es importante decir que los problemas jurídicos más relevantes de la actualidad, como el crimen transnacional, las crisis de los sistemas judiciales alrededor del mundo, el abuso y maltrato de las mujeres o los menores, por ejemplo, las migraciones, la reemergencia de sentimientos de xenofobia alrededor del mundo; todos estos temas son el núcleo de la sociología jurídica de la actualidad, yo diría, en todos los países alrededor del mundo.
¿Cuál es la historia de la sociología jurídica?
La sociología jurídica se remonta hasta la historia antigua, aunque se ha reconocido como un tópico académico en un tiempo razonablemente reciente, yo diría que después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Se ha expandido conspicuamente durante las últimas décadas, especialmente durante las últimas seis o siete décadas. Se dan muchos cursos en muchas universidades y hay grupos de investigación trabajando en varias partes del mundo. Organizaciones, asociaciones de sociólogos del derecho existen en todos lados, ya sea nacionales o internacionales, como el Research Committee on Sociology of Law de la International Sociological Association o la Law and Society Association. La sociología jurídica ha dado luz a decenas de miles publicaciones, ya sea individuales o colectivas, a un número infinito de artículos en revistas especializadas y es un área bastante desarrollada en muchos países, dependiendo de las condiciones específicas de cada país o del sistema académico. Por ejemplo, en América Latina ha tenido un desarrollo importante en estos años.
Hay un logro importante de la comunidad de académicos socio-jurídicos, y hasta cierto punto único, que es el Instituto de Oñati que ofrece un Master en Sociología del Derecho, que es un grado académico, y que ofrece espacio para unos 15 talleres especializados cada año que cubren una amplia variedad de temas y de los cuales se publican numerosas publicaciones. El Instituto tiene la biblioteca más grande en sociología del derecho, así que es un lugar importante donde llegan grandes números de académicos cada año para pasar un periodo para estudiar y explorar la biblioteca. Oñati también es un lugar donde se pueden realizar buenas investigaciones socio-jurídicas, es un lugar muy especial culturalmente y tradicionalmente, tiene una buena historia.

El día de hoy se inicia la Semana de la Educación Abierta y, desde la Red de Sociología Jurídica, queremos sumarnos a una apuesta por mayor acceso al conocimiento #OpenEducationWeek.

Presentación del Blog de Law & Society Review:
The current editors of Law and Society Review have started this blog with the goal of facilitating broader dissemination of socio-legal research. We hope that this blog allows us to discuss scholarship and teaching issues that may not make it to academic journals quickly. We invite everyone to contribute; we ask all authors to summarize their recent articles. The new blog will also allow us to discuss the changing research environment. We’d like to hear more people contribute to pressing conversations around research and publishing.

The idea of the Americas is shaped by a tension – both creative and disruptive – between what pulls together and what divides social, political, economic and cultural space. On the one hand, the trends towards continental integration, as well as national development projects, inclusive citizenship, and democratic consolidation, call for unity: a common history, a cohesive citizenry, a shared vision.

The deadline has been extended to apply for the RCSL-SDJ Lisbon Meeting 2018 “Law and Citizenship Beyond The States” to be held in September 10-13, 2018.
We will discuss, among other topics of sociology of law and justice, the contribution of law to the power of citizens, at a time of increasing competition between state law, once the main source of people’s rights, and multiple global and local normativities (see our call, open from 15 October to 15 December 2017).
The meeting is co-sponsored by the Sociology of Law and Justice Section of the Portuguese Sociological Association. It is organized by DINÂMIA’CET-IUL, a research unit of ISCTE-IUL , which gives the Local Organizing Committee its institutional framework and administrative support, in partnership with the following partner research units: CES (Coimbra), CICS.NOVA (Braga, Lisbon), CIES (ISCTE-IUL, Lisbon), and CRIA (Lisbon, Braga), as well as with the International Institute for the Sociology of Law (Oñati).

Les compartimos el libro “Norma Giarracca. Estudios rurales y movimientos sociales: miradas desde el Sur”, editado por el Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales (CLACSO).
Los aportes de Norma Giarracca al pensamiento social, y en particular a la Sociología Rural, son vastos y multifacéticos. En esta Antología hemos pautado cuatro secciones que reflejan la evolución de sus intereses y prioridades: “La Sociología Rural y el debate sobre el campesinado”; “Agroindustria, agronegocio y extractivismo”; “Protesta y movimientos sociales”; y, finalmente, “Perspectivas desde el Sur. Colonialidad del poder, otros bicentenarios”.
Estos núcleos temáticos inevitablemente se entrecruzan. Todo su trabajo está imbuido de un profundo sentido político, que se basa en las preguntas: ¿cómo contribuir a las luchas que realizan los sectores subalternos en las sociedades capitalistas para superar las condiciones de vida en que se encuentran? ¿Cómo superar los procesos de explotación y los deterioros ambientales que provoca el proceso de “desarrollo” que se está llevando a cabo en el mundo en general?
Se señaló alguna vez su “carácter fuerte”, pero este no era otra cosa que su fuerte sentido de justicia, que nunca dejó de manifestar, incluso frente a los más encumbrados.

The Annual Comparative Law Work-in-Progress Workshop will be held February 23-24, 2018 at Princeton University, co-sponsored by Princeton University, the University of Illinois College of Law, the University of Pennsylvania Law School, and the American Society of Comparative Law.
Interested authors should submit papers to Kim Lane Scheppele at kimlane@princeton.edu. We have extended the deadline and ask for papers to submitted by January 8, 2018. We will inform authors of our decision by January 20. Participants whose papers have been accepted should plan to arrive in Princeton by Thursday night on February 22 and to leave on Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning.
The annual workshop continues to be an important forum in which comparative law work in progress can be explored among colleagues in a serious and thorough manner that will be truly helpful to the respective authors. “Work in progress” means scholarship that has reached a stage at which it is substantial enough to merit serious discussion and critique but that has not yet appeared in print (and can still be revised after the workshop, if it has already been accepted for publication.) It includes law review articles, book chapters or outlines, substantial book reviews, and other appropriate genres.
We ask for only one contribution per author and also ask authors to limit their papers to 50 pages in length, or, if the paper (or book chapter) is longer, to indicate which 50 pages they would like to have read and discussed.
Our objective is not only to provide an opportunity for the discussion of scholarly work but also to create the opportunity for comparative lawyers to get together for two days devoted to nothing but talking shop, both in the sessions and outside. We hope that this will create synergy that fosters more dialogue, cooperation, and an increased sense of coherence for the discipline.
The participants in the workshop will consist of the respective authors, commentators, and faculty members of the host institutions. The overall group will be kept small enough to sit around a large table and to allow serious discussion. The papers will not be presented at the workshop. They will be distributed well in advance and every participant must have read them before attending the meeting. Each paper will be introduced and discussed first by two commentators before opening the discussion to the other workshop participants. Each of the authors selected for the workshop is expected to have read and to be prepared to discuss each of the papers selected. The author of each paper will be given an opportunity to respond and ask questions of his or her own. There are no plans to publish the papers. Instead, it is up to the authors to seek publication if, and wherever, they wish. The goal of the workshop is to improve the work before publication.
The Workshop will be funded by the host school and by the American Society of Comparative Law. Authors of papers and commentators will be reimbursed for their travel expenses and accommodation up to $600, by either by the American Society of Comparative Law or Princeton University, in accordance with the ASCL reimbursement policy (as posted on its webpage.) We ask that authors inquire into funding opportunities at their home institutions before applying for reimbursement by the ASCL or by the Princeton University.
The Jerome Hall Postdoctoral Fellowship is offered by the Center for Law, Society & Culture and the Indiana University Maurer School of Law.
The fellow will devote substantial time to research and writing in furtherance of a major scholarly project and will participate in the activities of the Center, which include an annual symposium, a colloquia series, and regular workshops and lectures. The fellowship provides a salary plus a research allowance, health insurance, other benefits, and workspace at the School of Law. If both sides are amenable, the option of teaching a research seminar is also possible, with a commensurate adjustment to the salary. The term of the appointment will be 24 months, beginning August 1, 2018.
In evaluating applications, the Center will focus on: 1) The originality and significance of the candidate’s proposed research project within the field of sociolegal studies; 2) the candidate’s scholarly promise, achievements, and ability to complete the project; and 3) the potential contribution of the candidate to the intellectual life of the Center, the School of Law, and Indiana University.
For Best Consideration Date: 02/01/2018
The RCSL-SDJ Lisbon Meeting 2018 “Law and Citizenship Beyond The States” will be held in September 10-13, 2018.
The meeting is co-sponsored by the Sociology of Law and Justice Section of the Portuguese Sociological Association. It is organized by DINÂMIA’CET-IUL, a research unit of ISCTE-IUL , which gives the Local Organizing Committee its institutional framework and administrative support, in partnership with the following partner research units: CES (Coimbra), CICS.NOVA (Braga, Lisbon), CIES (ISCTE-IUL, Lisbon), and CRIA (Lisbon, Braga), as well as with the International Institute for the Sociology of Law (Oñati). On top of these academic partnerships, we pretend also to involve personalities and entities from outside the world of science, for this meeting to be itself, as far as possible, an experience of citizenry beyond the states.
Although there are several interesting sessions, we want to share in invitation of the Law and Development Working Group:
Max Weber initiated the discussion on the relationship between law and development, puzzled as he was by the emergence of the industrial revolution in the United Kingdom where the rules of game were defined by the peculiar rationality of the common law. Nowadays, moving beyond self-estrangement, contemporary law and development reinvents itself by focusing on multiple conceptions of human and sustainable development, the challenges of democracy and state-building, and the regulation of market economies. Debates are permeated by the emergence of
institutions, understood sometimes as organisations and also as the working rules in action. The continuous transformations of legal education and the changing character of the legal profession are essential dimensions of legal development, because law metamorphoses itself as regulators, arbitrators, mediators, and ombudsmen take over roles and tasks that were traditionally allocated to judges, lawyers, notaries, and civil servants. As revealed by the waves of access to justice identified by the Florence Project, the protection and enforcement of rights through different remedies and venues for disputes resolution produce impact on the state and the economy. Our risk, liquid, and audit societies experience the influences of behavioural bias, asymmetric relationships, and various metrics and scales of legal indicators. Finally, new technologies have changed the landscape of legal reasoning through the use of big data, artificial intelligence, and algorithms characteristics of the mathematical turn in legal analysis. In summary, the agenda for law and development continues to change and is open to various perspectives, epistemes and weltanschaungen for further discussion at the Working Group Law and Development.The abovementioned research fields of the Working Group are far from exhaustive. The Working Group also accepts papers that do not directly address any of the themes mentioned above, but are related to law and development. Academics in all stages of their careers are welcome and invited to participate.
When asked if you wish to register your paper in one of the working groups of the RCSL, please select the working group ‘Law and Development’. This will allow the organizers to assign you paper to our Working Group. Please forward the email receipt immediately to Pedro Fortes (pfortes@alumni.stanford.edu) or David Restrepo Amariles (restrepo-amariles@hec.fr). Please note that you are free to choose the working group that corresponds best to your research interests.
If you are a former student of the Oñati Master, you may want to consider presenting in the Oñati Sessions.
The Oñati Sessions aim to further the communication between the RCSL and the Oñati IISL students and former students, apenning a space for debate and interaction and a venue for the research that is promoted by the IISL to be known to the wider socio-legal community. If you want to include your work in these sessions, please write an e-mail by December 14th at the latest to luceroibarrarojas@gmail.com and gabasx@gmail.com
