| Summary: | Apart from a few rare initiatives, the encounter between legal history and gender studies has remained marginal. The ANR-HLJPGenre project has been designed to fill this historiographical gap and bring researchers together: it aims to analyse law through a gender lens, focusing on the study of formal law and legal discourse. Epistemological issues play an important role here, allowing us to challenge the myth of 'axiological neutrality' that still prevails in our discipline. At the same time, the study of different methodological approaches opens up perspectives for the renewal of legal history. It was in this context that the international conference Legal Discourse, Gender and History was held in Douai in 2023. Thanks to the interdisciplinarity and decompartmentalisation of disciplines inherent to gender studies, contributions from law, history, sociology, political science, linguistics and philosophy enriched the discussions. Some of their contributions, reworked and expanded, appear in this issue alongside independent articles on the same theme. |
