New technologies have transformed the role of human beings. Once merely users of technological tools, we have become part of social and institutional processes to the extent that we have become dependent on the technocratic paradigm. We are witnessing the emergence of a virtualised society in which human originality will…
The theory of custom aims to research and define what we call custom. This study attempts to orient theoretical practice towards itself and demonstrate that its very method and knowledge are customary: moving from the theory of custom to the custom of theory. In this sense, the theoretical question of…
This paper focuses on the historical evolution of the concept of asylum through the analysis of a selected set of data collected in two national databases: DoGi – Dottrina Giuridica (Legal Doctrine) and IS-LeGI – Indice Semantico del Lessico Giuridico Italiano (Semantic Index of the Italian Legal Lexicon).

This work proposes an ontological reinterpretation of Hans Kelsen’s socio-anthropological research on primitive peoples, highlighting how these studies do not represent a marginal interest but rather lie at the core of his philosophical-legal reflection. Through the analysis of myths, rituals, and archaic beliefs, Kelsen identifies normativity as an original structure…

The research straddles the boundary between law, anthropology and semiotics, deconstructing the dominant rhetoric of integration and employability to reveal how they function as symbolic…
The philosophy of intercultural law presents itself as a necessary instrument of enquiry that enables the jurist to navigate the open sea of law and life. The proposed contribution aims at focusing on the relationship extant between philosophy, law and interculture, emphasising some philosophical-legal issues and dimensions such as translation,…
Genealogical expressions give depth to a juridical textual system that is neither arbitrary nor totalitarian, nor solipsistically conforming to hegemonic techno-formal demands, but rather refers to the essential represented by logical-rational-relational functioning. The genealogical question, accompanied by a wealth of meaning, that is to say, by a commitment to transmission…
