Course Title:
LAW AND THE CITY
Course Number:
DDRO 25A43
Course Description:
This Law and the City seminar aims to introduce the students to the spatial effects the law has in our everyday life's urban spaces. At the beginnings of the 1990s, legal scholars started to turn towards problematics related to geography in general, and cities in the specific. This twist is commonly called the spatial turn in legal theory. In giving a look at the space and law's relationship the seminar poses the attention on how “law and legal theory are essential starting points in understanding cities”[G. Frug] and vice versa. This “The Law and City” class invites students to confront mainly with legal/social theories, but also with the city they live, they dream, they were born in. In doing so will be used not only laws and legal theories, but also architecture, literature, films, art, and a legal ethnographic approach. How does law create space? How national and international laws
