Motivation

The Roundtable wants to bring out the manner in which popular culture affects law and its understanding by actors in society. The Roundtable explores law in different environments, such as art and entertainment, as well as cultural movements that constitute phenomena to which the law must relate. Furthermore, besides these general areas within our social reality, the Roundtable is also a space to discuss the legal significance of certain objects that either defy or deplete categorization.
Over the last four years the Roundtable has become a relied upon forum, within the Faculty of Law of Maastricht University, to discuss approaches to these areas of study. The Roundtable aims above all to underline the value that non-conventional approaches to law offer to the better understanding of social science.

Organisation

This event is organized by Agustín Parise and Arthur Willemse, with the support of the Science Committee of the Faculty of Law of Maastricht University.
