Seminar under the joint direction of the Professor and Jérôme Bourgon, Director of Research at the CNRS, with the support of the Institut d'Asie Orientale (CNRS), the École normale supérieure de Lyon, and the École française d'Extrême-Orient.
In connection with the ANR program " Regir l'espace chinois " directed by Jérôme Bourgon, the seminar will focus on gathering and analyzing concrete examples of how justice was dispensed and experienced on the ground at the end of the imperial period, and how it took into account the complexity of real social life while applying a codified law structured by essentially penal categories.
