Virtual Exhibition: Collective and Individual Rights in Legal History, 2024-2025

We are proud of all the work this last academic year that has united together students from the University of Warwick, Univerza u Ljubljana, VUB, and CY Cergy Paris Université as part of EuTopia Connected Learning Community in Legal History. This year our theme was 'Collective and Individual Rights in Legal History' which has allowed the students to investigate how people have found rights throughout history.

Our Peak Event was held at the University of Warwick on March 13 to 15 2025. Here, the students managed to present their research for the first time before their colleagues leading up to their articles. Topics have ranged from Benjamin Marenče's look at the clashes over language and identity in Slovenian law during the end of the 1800s, to Blue Vercauteren Trompet's look at how debates over abortion in Belgium led to questions over the place of the monarchy in a modern Belgium. Below is our Virtual Exhibition, the culmination of the hard work and research of our students this year.

A big congratulations to everyone who has taken part this year and enjoy the exhibition.

CY CASE: Death Penalty: The Fight for Abolitionism in France and Canada

A guillotine (image source: pixabay ) For as long as we know, the death penalty was used in France as the capital penalty for a various list of crimes, which changed through time, from the most insignificant to the most serious infraction. Various methods were used, and it was often savagely cruel. After the guillotine came into use in April 1792 (five months before the abolition of monarchy and the establishment of the First Republic), it has been the most symbolic way to carry out the death penalty. But there were other means, especially during the Middle Ages with quartering, burning people alive on a pyre (such as Jeanne d’Arc in France), hanging, crucifixion, beheadings with different types of weapons. The specificity of the executions in France is that they were public, which is not by itself a specificity, but it became an entertainment for the people who came to witness the death of the convict. The executions took place on the  Place de Grève , in Paris (nowadays the s...

CY CASE - Women and union organization in France (19th - 20th century)

Women and labor  Restrictions and incapacities  Since the middle ages, a woman is under male authority, she is economically dependent of men who control all her life: since her birth, she receives the authority of her father; authority is given to her husband when she marries, for their domestic life; masculine authority follows her at work, under the orders of her employer… When they had the chance to have a job outside of the family home, women were slowed by corporations (in the early modern period), because most did not accept the settlement of women in a male-dominated social world of work.  It is only at the end of the 18 th century that corporations ended, especially in France with the d’Allarde decree in march 1791, and in Great Britain : from then on, women could join easily the industry. Therefore, they were seen in feminine fields such as in millinery or lingerie industries.  Les ouvriers du livre, Rébérioux Madeleine, 1981 Marriage and Civil code  T...
