SUMMARY:Rostovtzeff Lecture Series: As If: Fiction\, Make-Believe\, and the Legal World of Early Medieval Francia\, 5th-9th Centuries AD
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will take place online. Registration is requi
 red\, click through for the registration link. Zoom information will b
 e provided via confirmation email to registered participants. This lec
 ture sets up the basic framework for the series\, and its broad line o
 f argument. Most of the existing historiography tends to assume that t
 he bigger the gap between written norms and legal practice\, the more 
 irrelevant the norms must have been. Such gaps\, however\, could be pr
 oductive in their own right. Once law is understood as a starting-poin
 t for the construction of scenarios\, rather than dictating outcomes\,
  one can start to see why the most useful laws might not necessarily a
 lways have been the ones that came closest to the practical solutions 
 eventually reached.
