Parliamentarism and Presidentialism in the History of Legal Culture: Tensions and coalitions between legal ideas

11/08/2021 19:14

The Ius Commune – Interinstitutional Group on The History of Legal Culture – UFSC/CNPq, coordinated by Profs. Drs. Arno Dal Ri Jr., Caetano Dias Corrêa and Diego Nunes, invites the entire academic community to participate in Module 2021.2, entitled “Parliamentarism and Presidentialism in the History of Legal Culture: Tensions and coalitions between legal ideas”.

Brazil, despite the long presidential tradition, has experienced a brief parliamentary experience in its constitutional history and, due to the growing discussions about political representativeness and the role of parliament, is seen in the contingency of carefully considering and studying these two systems of government. The proposed module will lead this study in the context of legal historiography, passing through classical authors such as Montesquieu, Edmund Burke, James Madison, Carl Schmitt, Karl Loewenstein and Silvio Romero.

Registration can be made by the form available at the following link: https://forms.gle/fdsupb8iE6jJZ6W9A.

The opening and organization meeting of the module will be on 17/08, at 16:30. The other meetings will always be held on Tuesdays, at the same time. The event will take place via Google Meet and the room link will be sent by email to subscribers.

The activity confers 14h in extension mode. To obtain the certificate, in addition to registration, it is necessary to follow 75% of the weekly meetings.

It is expected to read the basic and complementary texts available for each meeting. Subscribers will receive an email link to access this material.

We count on the participation of all, both from the internal community of UFSC, as well as externally, to deepen the analyses and enrich the debates!
