What is its function? What it is necessary for? What was its origin? What are the effects of its absence, its corruption, or its pathological manifestations? To what extent can one speak of a symbolic Law that exists in a differentiated way from the legal laws of its time?
Although all cultures have known the Law, not all of them have felt obliged to ponder on it (but the most developed cultures have done so), granting a greater or lesser importance to its study. For that reason, Europe, standing on the solidity of its presence as a cornerstone, like any other society that is intended to be democratic, has its own existence at stake. Hence, this is a matter in which we are involved.
The Law is, in any case, a textual fact. It is just because there are texts that refer to it that it exists, regardless of whether they are written on the stone or only exist through oral transmission.
But its existence cannot be restricted to legal texts that enunciate it. On the contrary: when it is only present in that kind of texts, when it does not manifest itself in the other texts that make up each culture, it can be said that it does not to exist, that it is a dead letter.
This being the case, the reflection does not belong only —not even in the first place— to studies on legal texts and the philosophy of law. Being an essential aspect of all culture, this aspect can and must be studied in the great texts of all kinds —artistic, religious, philosophic, journalistic, spectacular, political…— that constitute the Law..
The law is, thus, an appropriate subject matter for our new conference, which, following the tradition of the previous ones, calls the community of culture, research and the university to question itself about it, relying on the analysis of one or a few certain texts, regardless of whether that analysis is carried out through textual analysis, philosophy, anthropology, psychonalysis, psychology, sociology, aesthetics, law, politics...
With that purpose in mind, we convene the 12th International Conference on Textual Analysis “The Law,” organized by the Trama & Fondo Cultural Association and the Rey Juan Carlos University of Madrid. The conference will be held at this university from the 5th to the 8th of November 2024.
