中欧社会论坛 - China Europa Forum

Workshop presentation

This workshop would compare the European and Chinese judicial cultures in an original way: by making profit of the progress of image (reproduction of ancient documents, diverse representations, documentaries and films), the workshop considers as its objective to understand, present and explicate the jurists’ cultural references in these two different cultural worlds. Such an approach is an indispensable complementary to the classic training of jurists (exclusively on the basis of texts study) for the purpose of not only better knowing but also better recognizing the foreign partners with whom they will be more and more often asked to work.
