This event is based on a selection of three papers which are part of a broader collection. The seminar was an attempt to explore stories told in Ben Judah’s book ‘This is Europe: The Way We Live Now’ (2023) from a law and society perspective. The book consists of a series of short stories about different forms of invisible yet ‘ordinary’ lives in today’s Europe. By dissecting the thin yet rich material collected in this book, we investigated the role of law in informing (or not), structuring, and/or de-structuring, the lives of ‘ordinary’ Europe’s inhabitants. During the seminar, the researchers picked up various the book’s chapters, turned them into case studies, reflected on the treatment of the stories and silences around in Judah’s book, investigated the presence or absence of law. Their findings were presented and discussed during the seminar. This collective work eventually resulted in a collection of 20 short pieces (‘Contents’). The papers are drafts, subject to revision. The whole collection will be published in the EUI Law WP series. Part of it is forthcoming in the form of a ‘Symposium’ with European Law Open. Register Related events
