SUMMARY:Defying Our Cognitive Matrices: Learning from Alien Legal Cultures Without Flattening Them
DESCRIPTION:Robert Junqueira asks how legal comparison can learn from unfamiliar legal cultures without turning them into exotic examples\, borrowed fragments\, or mirror images of our own categories. He argues that comparative legal reasoning must first defamiliarize the home matrix\, then translate foreign legal reasons through their own institutions\, languages\, and living-law conditions. Junqueira’s focus is on comparison as a disciplined encounter: a way to expand legal imagination without cognitive capture or semantic domination. This presentation\, chaired by Simar Soni\, is part of the 2026 JusGov Internship Programme with the University of Pennsylvania. \n  \nAll those who are interested are welcome to join us via Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/4664284907 \n  \nOrganising Committee \nFlávia Noversa Loureiro \nMiriam Rocha \nSimar Soni \n  \nOrganisation \nEDUM — School of Law of the University of Minho \nJusGov — Research Centre for Justice and Governance \n  \nSupport \nFCT — Foundation for Science and Technology \n
