“From the point of view of jurists, public and private are ancient words, but the long itinerary that announces this great dichotomy starts only with the arrival of the modern state, which shapes public law, at the same time as private law is captured by the orbit of legal individualism. With the demise of the ancient regime, the dichotomy will be turned into the foundation of the entire legal system, embodying the typically nineteenth-century balance between state and society, sovereignty and rights; the twentieth century, on the other hand, will disrupt these boundaries, introducing compromises and mixtures between state and economic, social and individual, general interest and special interests. In more recent years, the intensity of economic globalization and the impoverishment of constitutional programs suggest a new primacy of private law. In the perspective of a renewed unity of the legal system, this book investigates the relationship between the ‘two laws’ in their stratified historicity, inviting us to reflect on the need for a reasonable balance between personal and collective needs, rights and duties, guarantees and powers”.

33rd Edition | Module 2020.1 – The Frontiers of Freedom in Brazil: legal perspectives between the 16th to 19th centuries

08/09/2020 14:17

The Ius Commune – Interinstitutional Group on The History of Legal Culture – UFSC/CNPq, coordinated by Professors Ds.Sc. Arno Dal Ri Jr., Caetano Dias Corrêa and Diego Nunes invites the entire academic community to participate in the 33rd module of discussions entitled “The Frontiers of Freedom in Brazil: legal perspectives between the 16th and 19th centuries”.

Slavery, a phenomenon closely linked to the process of formation of Brazilian society, had to be coated with legal legitimacy that supported in the theoretical level the domain of one over the other and the restriction of freedom, this from legal forms and institutes that were being applied, interpreted and re-meant by jurists until its extinction.

The objective of the module is, therefore, to discuss the various ways of looking at this phenomenon from the discussion about freedom and its legal boundaries, demonstrating how historical individuals had to deal with and experience slave experiences, whose great challenge was to establish the limits between what it meant to be free or not and consequently to envision the precariousness of the free being and the challenges of seeking the recognition of freedom as a right.
