In this fifth episode of the End of Law podcast Julia Dahlqvist from Stockholm University and Tormod Johansen had a conversation with Cosmin Cercel, professor at Ghent University, about his newly started ERC project, Rethinking Emergency from a Legal Historical Perspective: Contexts, Law, Actors (EMERGE).
The discussion covered a wide range of issues, including the history of emergency and exception, the role of constitutions, authoritarian liberalism, situations of war, democracy, the concept of law and its limits, and not least continuities and discontinuities in the history.
This podcast is produced by the End of Law research project in collaboration with the At the End of the World research programme. Producer is Joel Kuhlin and the music is by Simon Hansson. The cover photo for this episode is by Mihai Claudiu Dragomirescu.

EUROPE TWENTY YEARS AFTER THE 2004 ENLARGEMENT OF THE EU: VICES, VIRTUES, AND FUTURE CHALLENGES, 3rd Annual Nomos Conference, 7-8 June 2024, Kraków
We are very happy to announce that the 3rd Annual Nomos Conference will take place in Krakow, 7-8 June 2024.
Twenty years have passed since the 2004 EU enlargement and perhaps it has never been more urgent to question the impact and importance of the EU’s expansion policy for CEE and SEE, as well as of the principles underpinning European integration or European values more in general.
This conference provides a space for critically engaging with such
questions: for thinking about vices and virtues of our present and to working towards better futures.
Abstracts of about 300 words should be sent to [email protected] by 25th March 2024.

2nd Nomos Conference. After Neoliberalism? Constitution, Democracy, and Capitalism. Gothenburg 12-13 May 2023

14-15 April, Legal Form Workshop at Nomos Centre, Krakow.

https://wsmip.uj.edu.pl/web/nomos/annual-conference1

The 2nd Nomos Conference entitled After Neoliberalism? Constitution, Democracy, and Capitalism will take place on 12-13 May 2023 in Gothenburg.

The deadline for submissions is 15 March 2023.

Over the last few decades, the discussion on democracy, capitalism, and the constitution has gradually intensified, bringing to the fore the anti-democratic substance of ordo-liberal and neo-liberal governmentality. Indeed, the well-known political experiences that joined dictatorial governments and neo-liberal economy, and the formation of transnational legal arrangements aimed explicitly at curtailing the possibility of democratic maneuvers in domestic politics, exposed the authoritarian drive moving contemporary liberal law and politics.
With the upcoming NOMOS conference, we wish to continue the exploration of the interrelationship between liberal democracy, capitalism, and authoritarianism at a moment in time marked by the crisis and transfiguration of neoliberalism as well as the advances of right-wing populism

Last year the director of the Nomos Centre, Przemysław Tacik, published a book that has the power to undermine the traditional conception of Modernity:

Tackling important philosophical questions on modernity – what it is, where it begins and when it ends – Przemyslaw Tacik challenges the idea that modernity marks a particular epoch, and historicises its conception to offer a radical critique of it. His deconstruction-informed critique collects and assesses reflections on modernity from major philosophers including Hegel, Heidegger, Lacan, Arendt, Agamben, and Žižek.

This analysis progresses a new understanding of modernity intrinsically connected to the growth of sovereignty as an organising principle of contemporary life. He argues that it is the idea of 'modernity', as a taken-for-granted era, which is positioned as the essential condition for making linear history possible, when it should instead be history, in and of itself, which dictates the existence of a particular period. Using Hegel's notion of 'spirit' to trace the importance of sovereignty to the conception of the modern epoch within German idealism, Tacik traces Hegel's influence on Heidegger through reference to the 'star' in his late philosophy which represents the hope of overcoming the metaphysical poverty of modernity. This line of thought reveals the necessity of a paradigm shift in our understanding of modernity that speaks to contemporary continental philosophy, theories of modernity, political theory, and critical re-assessments of Marxism.

Statement on the war in Ukraine

On February 24, 2022, Russia has begun waging war on Ukraine. Fighting is taking place all over Ukraine, civilians are being killed or forced to flee their homes. In just seven days about 800.000 people have fled the war seeking shelter in neighbouring countries. No political reasons can justify the invasion of a country and the killing of its people. And it is appalling that the officially declared nature of the operation and its objectives are very far from reality and rooted in an ideological and revisionist conception of the history of Eastern Europe, by abusing the term genocide, the memory of World War II and the Holocaust.

This conflict is taking place against the background of a growing international political and military disorder, in which wars are waged against the othered in Palestine, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, and the mentality behind such wars is expanding into new terrains. But as history is never tired to tell us, the repercussions of war are not only catastrophic but also unpredictable, and those who end up paying the highest price are always the working classes and the civilian populations who are destined to live in material deprivations for years.

The dire situation in Ukraine burdens Critical Legal Scholarship with the task of supporting the defence of life and a global peaceful existence against the politics of death. To this end, the Nomos Centre asserts its firm rejection of any form of imperialist aggression and expresses its solidarity with the Ukrainian people and with those critical voices that have been silenced by the brutal repression of the police in Russia.

...this special issue aspires at offering a number of critical views
on the evolving nature of the pandemic emergency, shedding light on its revealing potential while at the same time proposing a reflection on the form and limits of the dominant legal and political paradigms...With the “Return of the Exception” we intend to bring
to the fore the fact that in the pandemic the state of exception has re-appeared inits “grand” version, the one that pertains to round-the-clock curfews and strong limitations to the freedom of movement and assembly, all adorned by warfare rhetoric of the fight against an invisible enemy – which, given the biological status
of viruses, it cannot but be ourselves.
