TLI and the Yeoh Tiong Lay Centre of Philosophy, Politics and Law (YTL) will co-host the forthcoming talk by Professor Antoine Garapon at King's College London, 'The Digital De-Spatialisation of Law'. The event will be chaired by Prof. David Nelken (King's), with commentary from Prof. Dan Hunter, Exectutive Dean ofThe Dickson Poon School of Law.  Among its many other impacts, the digital revolution has troubled the relation between space and normativity. If law is no longer connected with space but is replaced by non-spatial computation based on software this has far-reaching consequences for legal procedures and the very idea of justice. A shared space is a condition for 'interlocution' and is also the very core of the civic pact. The implications of this idea will be developed in a talk based on interdisciplinary collaboration between Antoine Garapon, a legal scholar, (Professor at the Law School of Sciences Po, Paris, France) and Jean Lassègue, a philosopher of science (Senior Research Fellow at the French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and Director of Centre Georg Simmel,Recherches franco-allemandes en sciences sociales, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris). We warmly welcome all with an interest to this in person event. Spaces are limited and registration is required. Learn more and register to attend Kind regards,Transnational Law Institute (TLI)
