This informal workshop entails three sessions exploring the relevance and possible benefits of theoretical developments for legal scholarship. These sessions will take the format of conversations between legal scholars and colleagues outside the legal discipline. The morning conversation will explore actor-network theory and its uptake of Tarde’s sociology and transformation into a normative agenda in recent years. After lunch, we will be in conversation about the role of media, objects and aesthetics through the lens of German media/cultural studies. We will conclude the day with learning about Tristan Garcia’s take on object-oriented ontologies.
