DESCRIPTION:Le Centre Paul-André Crépeau de droit privé et comparé poursuit
  le cycle 2016-2018 des Ateliers de droit civil\, sur le thème « Le public
  en droit privé »\, avec une conférence de Vanja Hamzić (School of Orienta
 l and African Studies\, University of London).\n\nRésumé\n\n[En anglais se
 ulement] The eventful twelfth century was\, in many ways\, a veritable par
 adox. On the one hand\, it saw a sudden surge in academic works and univer
 sities in Western and Southern Europe that sought to bridge the worlds pre
 viously thought entirely incommensurable and usher in an age of scholastic
 ism that would eventually lead to the fourteenth- to seventeenth-century R
 enaissance. For this reason\, it has been a staple of mediaevalist scholar
 ship to describe those thorough-going changes as the ‘renaissance of the t
 welfth century’. On the other hand\, the same century also reads as a stri
 king catalogue of most violent acts and disasters: from the rise of inquis
 ition and merciless Christian infighting\, over the first expulsions of Je
 ws and the intensification of the Reconquista on Muslim Spain to the blood
  and gore of the Second\, Third and German Crusades. Might it not be more 
 appropriate\, then\, to characterise this period as an age of profound cri
 sis\, in which the true contours of a ‘persecuting society’ were drawn?\n
 \nThis talk seeks to make a modest contribution to that debate\, by guidin
 g the audience’s attention to a tell-tale public aspect of high mediaeval 
 life—that of sexual and gender diversity—and by expanding the view over th
 e twelfth century so as to include the affairs in the Great Seljuk Empire 
 (1037–1194)\, a vast Turko-Persianate Sunnī Muslim state that originated i
 n Anatolia\, but quickly came to rule over much of the then Islamicate wor
 ld.\n\nThe talk considers\, in particular\, an unlikely rise of neo-Roman 
 European civil law and Seljuk proto-civil legality and its formidable effe
 ct on two paradigmatic twelfth-century intellectual debates on the public\
 , legal and theological standing of ‘sodomy’ (peccatum sodomiticum\, liwāṭ
 ): one in amongst prominent Benedictines and the other between the leading
  Ḥanafī scholars. It is argued that these debates\, led in the distinct sp
 irit of concordia discors (discordant harmony) or ikhtilāf (permissible sc
 holarly disagreement)\, are indispensable for our understanding of legal a
 nd social aspects of sexual and gender diversity in the twelfth century an
 d\, in turn\, the way in which certain rapturous pluralities were continue
 d and ruptured—concomitantly.\n\nLe conférencier\n\n[En anglais seulement]

  Ateliers de droit civil\n\nEn vue de promouvoir la réflexion fondamentale
  en droit privé\, le Centre a instauré la série des Ateliers de droit civi
 l\, qui permet de regrouper des juristes québécois et étrangers autour de 
 thèmes de recherche communs. Dédiés à l’étude d’un thème de recherche tran
 sversal\, les Ateliers de droit civil contribuent ainsi à enrichir et à st
 imuler la recherche fondamentale en droit privé.\n\nLe cycle 2016-2018 des
  Ateliers de droit civil\, présenté par le Centre Paul-André Crépeau de dr
 oit privé et comparé\, se déroule sur le thème « Le public en droit privé

  Fonds d’appui à l’accès à la justice dans les deux langues officielles.\n
 \nAucune inscription préalable n’est requise. Chaque atelier est accrédité
  pour 1\,5 heure de formation continue obligatoire auprès du Barreau du Qu
