The research group, which explores reforms aligned with European law in legal systems of non-colonised countries at the turn of the 19th century, discussed the workshop with the cooperation partners and the planned common book at its retreat from 5 to 7 September 2022 at the Law Faculty.
The retreat primarily centred on finalising the script and filming clips for a joint video, which highlights similarities and differences in the development of legal practices adapted to each respective society. The video illustrates that the path to “translated modernism” was a shared experience of Japan, China and the Ottoman Empire in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The agenda also included the presentation of two doctoral thesis projects, planning for an online symposium, and plans for future cooperation after the project’s official completion at the end of 2022.
