Research Seminar in Sociology of Law: Imperialism and Constitutional Law
The Sociology of Law Department arranges research seminars inviting local and international social scientists to present state-of-the-art research within various areas of law and society.
This seminar will discuss, in broad terms, how the social effects of imperialism have formed constitutional law. It addresses the formation of constitutional law in a series of settings, historical and contemporary, to explain how (a) constitutional law was traditionally forged because of military needs; (b) up to 1945, constitutions tended to reproduce imperialist policies in domestic societies; (c) changing patterns of constitutional law have been decisively shaped by international security architectures, linked to the transformation of imperialism; (d) the traditional imperialist emphasis of constitutional law is currently re-appearing in new form.
Date and time: 18 December 2024 13:15 to 15:00
Location: Room M331, 3rd floor, Allhelgona Kyrkogata 18 (House M), Lund

CMES Seminar: A Tale of Three Brothers – Ezra, Meir and Hayyawi Sawda’I and the History of an Iraqi Jewish Cinema Business
Seminar with Pelle Valentin Olsen (University of Bergen) about Iraqi Jewish cinema.
Pelle Valentin Olsen is Associate Professor of History. He is a cultural, social, and transnational historian of the modern Middle East. His research and teaching focus on the history of leisure, labor, gender, sexuality, popular culture, and cultural production. He focuses specifically on Iraq, but simultaneously explores transregional and transnational connections, highlighting everyday perspectives and voices often left out by traditional political and state-centered histories. He received his PhD with honors from the University of Chicago in 2020. He came to Bergen via the University of Oslo, where he worked as a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellow on a project about the history of cinema in Iraq.
He is currently preparing a book manuscript entitled Idle Days and Nights: Leisure, Time, and Modernity in Iraq. The book argues that leisure in twentieth century Iraq became one of several frontiers upon which the individual and citizen came into contact with, confronted, and interacted with new ideas about gender, sexuality, class, time, labour, and discipline. Examining the new institutions, practices, and distractions of leisure that took up increasing space and time in the life of Iraqis, the book explores uncharted aspects of both modern Iraqi and Middle Eastern history.
Date and time: 19 December 2024 13:15 to 14:30
Location: CMES Seminar Room (Finngatan 16), Lund
