Ideas:
“  Is the information-age changing the traditional ways of thinking about the legal past? My current research examines this question beginning from a broad historical-theoretical premise. Seen from a long-term perspective it is apparent that legal historiography recurrently changed its focus. An argument could be made that 19th century historiography, led by Savigny and his school, focused on texts. And the 20th century turned that legacy upside down with an uncompromising concern with language, best evidenced in L Wittgenstein’s work, and in its deep impact on understanding the (legal) past from H Kantorowicz to the Cambridge School up to ongoing linguistic concerns that have been animating large sectors of legal-historical research. It is the time to think about the place of legal history in the 21st century: are we legal historians silently shifting our research focus to information?  ”
