The Assault On Classical Legal Thought In Colombia (1886-1920), Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
The Assault On Classical Legal Thought In Colombia (1886-1920), Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
The topic of this paper is the tensions among classical legal thought (CLT) and other modes of legal thought in Colombia between 1886 and 1920. My main claim is that, during this period, CLT was attacked by a version of traditionalism and by a social-based legal thought. The former was evident in the constitutional discussions around the 1886 Colombian Constitution, while the latter became apparent in the interpretation of the Civil Code in areas such as property, contracts and torts. My goal is to tell a story that gives a sense of the fall of CLT as a process crossed …
Discusiones Sobre La Educación Legal: ¿Cuál Es La Puerta De Entrada?, Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Discusiones Sobre La Educación Legal: ¿Cuál Es La Puerta De Entrada?, Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Considero que hay diferentes puntos de entrada al tema de la educación legal (o jurídica). Este artículo hace un mapa sobre 4 propuestas en el marco de la educación legal que más me interesan y que se han presentado de manera constante durante los últimos cincuenta años en diferentes latitudes. En ese sentido, lo que a continuación ofrezco es una guía de algunas de las escuelas jurídicas que, en su momento, han realizado una crítica a la educación legal imperante en su contexto. Al final de la exposición de ellas plantearé una reflexión que creo útil para el estado actual …
Colonial Encounters In Modern [International] Law, Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Colonial Encounters In Modern [International] Law, Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
This is an unpublished work in which I am still working. It argues how the idea of exception in modern law is the place where colonialism is still deploying a particular dynamic naming the 'other' as someone who must be dehumanized and eliminated. Comments are welcome in the email address provided in the text.
Politizando La Inter-Relación Entre Derecho E Historia, Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Politizando La Inter-Relación Entre Derecho E Historia, Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Hablar de interdisciplinariedad nos arroja a preguntas sobre la propia disciplina jurídica lo cual puede llevarnos a cuestionamientos internos sobre cuáles son nuestras esencias disciplinares mostrando que, por regla general, la investigación en derecho se debe ocupar solamente de algunas cuestiones y no de otras que hacen parte de otras disciplinas. Ello podría llevar a que nos enfrascáramos en una discusión sobre nuestro objeto de estudio que si bien no considero acabada, sí creo que no puede ser pensada en abstracto o solamente desde las esencias de la disciplina. Parto de la idea de la imposibilidad de pensar los problemas …
Hacia Una Reflexión Ética Del Conflicto Colombiano: Buscando La "Verdad", Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Hacia Una Reflexión Ética Del Conflicto Colombiano: Buscando La "Verdad", Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Reparations are a fundamental topic in law; not only in human rights but also in the basis of traditional areas such as civil law. In general terms, the expectation of reparation in law, produces a huge amount of cases and lawyers specialize in achieving that plaintiffs, when they claim against their aggressors, a tort would be ordered by a court of law. This article would like to question the way in which torts reparations are understood in cases of gross human rights violations, having as an example the Colombian armed conflict. In this paper I sustain that the classical/ individualistic …
Educación Jurídica: Ejercicio Político Desde La Técnica, Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Educación Jurídica: Ejercicio Político Desde La Técnica, Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Los estudiantes de primer semestre de una facultad de derecho se diferencian radicalmente de los que se encuentran en los últimos semestres, no sólo por la experiencia de cinco años más de carrera y conocimiento, sino también por la falta de fe de estos últimos y la esperanza de los primeros. La actitud de la falta de fe se refiere a una persona que está altamente capacitada para la labor mecánica del derecho, pero sin mucha esperanza de que a través del ejercicio del derecho pueda hacer una transformación social. Es un gran técnico del derecho. Por su parte el …
El Problema De Las Fuentes Del Derecho: Una Perspectiva Desde La Argumentación Jurídica, Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
El Problema De Las Fuentes Del Derecho: Una Perspectiva Desde La Argumentación Jurídica, Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
This article argues that there is a very vast complexity in the theory of sources of law. According to the traditional doctrine the sources are ordered in a coherent and precise manner and the interpreter has only to apply a clear hierarchy. However, looking at the way some judges in Colombia have applied their sources, it seems that the traditional way of looking to this problem is not an accurate description of what is happening in practice. Therefore, an alternative way of understanding the practice of our judges is proposed, in order to build a description that shows us in …
Esclavitud Perpetua: Construyendo Una Perspectiva De Raza En El Derecho Constitucional Colombiano, Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Esclavitud Perpetua: Construyendo Una Perspectiva De Raza En El Derecho Constitucional Colombiano, Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
The racial element in our society has been generally invisible to many of us. While slavery has been abolished, the process of making black people invisible has been effective. Two recent judgements of the Colombian Constitutional Court have made us think of the race problem as something meaningful in our society. Many difficulties arise in these judgements, and this article presents a critique to some of the legal arguments and consequences of them. It also sustains that the Court has still a long way to go in order to make the racial problem a visible one in our present state …
El Uso Del Derecho Comparado Como Forma De Escape De La Subordinación Colonial, Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
El Uso Del Derecho Comparado Como Forma De Escape De La Subordinación Colonial, Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
The Colombian legal culture has not been able to make a fruitful use of the available methodologies in the area of comparative law. National doctrine has understood comparative law as a contrast between two legal provisions that belong to different legal systems without being aware that this kind of comparison is contributing to perpetuate old colonialist ideologies. This phenomenon is visible when Colombian doctrine compares our legal provisions with those issued in what might be called countries of the first world. Under this perspective, it appears that law travels from the civilized world to the uncivilized. Therefore, I think that …
Entre La Restricción Y La Libertad: Sobre La Posible Pérdida De Legitimidad Del Juez Constitucional, Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Entre La Restricción Y La Libertad: Sobre La Posible Pérdida De Legitimidad Del Juez Constitucional, Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
There are different points of view from which legal reasoning can be examined. Some argue that there is a correct theory of legal reasoning and therefore, they analyze particular cases in order to determine if a particular argument drawn by a judge or a court is coherent with a proposed theory. One of the main assets of Critical Legal Studies (CLS) is to think about law as a practice in which there is no need to establish a particular theory to grasp reality. In the area of legal reasoning, Duncan Kennedy has tried to show us how the main concern …
