Forschungsprojekt
Crime, Ethnic-Religious Boundaries, and Legal Pluralism in Early Modern Lviv
The project examines the role of crime and criminal justice in shaping and transforming the boundaries between various ethnic and religious communities in early modern Lviv. It tends to show how institutions of criminal justice and practices of crime operated to maintain the dominance of the Catholic majority, but simultaneously produced a paradoxical integrative effect of legitimating the place of other ethnic and religious communities in the city. The project also aims to highlight how legal norms and legal traditions of various ethnic and religious provenance were involved in the operation of criminal justice and the negotiation of meanings of crime.
