中国法律与历史国际学会第六届双年会征文启事

云里编者按：

中国法律与历史国际学会（ISCLH）创立于2014年，是首个为中国法律史研究者成立的全球性学术组织。目前在各大洲有150余名会员。成立以来，学会定期在北美组织工作坊，并且在亚洲组织双年会。迄今为止，学会于2015、2017和2019年分别与复旦大学、中国政法大学、和台北大学联合举办了三届实体双年会，并于2021和2023年举办两届线上双年会。

学会第六届双年会将于2025年7月22-23日在北京举行。会议欢迎各位学者就中国法律史的任何研究课题提交学术文章。

与此同时，本届双年会尤其欢迎围绕本次会议主题——“历史视野下的中华法律及其文化”（Chinese Law and Its Culture, Past and Present）的学术探索。无论是中国历史上的儒法国家还是当代社会主义法制体系，法律的表达和实践都与文化深入交融和互动。如何认识中国历史上的法律？中华法律体系是如何发展衍变的？这些议题一直是法律史研究的中心问题。因此，我们鼓励与会者深入讨论中华法律在各个时期的表达和实践，影响这些表达和实践的文化基础，以及相关的政治、经济、和社会变革。关于中华法律的定义是广泛的，它既包括了传统中国疆域内施行的法律和习俗，也包括边疆地区以及涉及海外华人社群的法律制度和实践。我们特别欢迎具有比较和跨国视角的研究，以及具有理论关怀的文章。

The International Society for Chinese Law and History (ISCLH), established in 2014, is the leading international hub for Chinese legal historians, boasting approximately 150 members worldwide. The society organizes workshops in North America and biennial conferences in Asia. To date, ISCLH has successfully organized three in-person biennial conferences, with co-sponsorship of Fudan University (Shanghai, 2015), China University of Political Science and Law (Beijing, 2017), and Taipei University (Taipei, 2019), respectively. Additionally, the society also hosted two virtual conferences in 2021 and 2023.

The Sixth Biennial Conference will be held in Beijing on July 22-23, 2025. As with previous conferences, we welcome submissions on any aspect of Chinese legal history from any period.

We especially encourage submissions that highlight this year's theme, “Chinese Law and Its Culture, Past and Present.” The entanglement between law and culture is central to both the Confucian-Legalist order of the imperial era and socialist legality of contemporary China. What constitutes the force of law in China and how the Chinese legal system developed throughout the time are at the center of scholarly inquiry. Therefore, we invite works that delve into the intricate relationship between Chinese legal systems, their cultural underpinnings, and the associated political, economic, and social changes. We interpret Chinese law and its culture broadly, encompassing legal systems and practices in traditional China proper, those of peripheral regions, and those pertaining to Chinese communities beyond national borders. Works that approach law comparatively or from a transnational perspective are especially welcome. So are works that invite theoretical and methodological discussion.

本次会议以线下实体会议为主。如个别参与者因日程冲突等原因无法线下参会，会场可以提供技术支持，助其线上参与会议。我们鼓励申请者自行组织主题鲜明、包含3-4篇论文的讨论小组（panels）。您也可以选择提交单篇论文，由会议组织委员会将选中的单篇论文按相关主题合并成小组。会议申请/简介英文或中文皆可。我们将在9月开放提交申请的链接，届时将另行发送通知。

This conference is held in person, with technological support being provided for organized panels if one or two members need to participate virtually. We encourage the submission of proposals for organized panels, with 3-4 papers in dialogue with each other under a general topic. You are also welcome to submit individual paper proposals, which, if selected, will be grouped together with other papers into panels. The proposal and the presentation can be in either English or Chinese. All panel and paper proposals should be submitted through the Qualtrics system, which will be open in September. A notice will be sent out when the submission system is activated.
