Bruno Debaenst, « To Be Killed Over and Over Again. A Case Study on Juridification. Beiträge zur Rechtsgeschichte Österreichs|Beiträge zur Rechtsgeschichte Österreichs Band 2 / 2013 recht [durch] setzen / Making Things Legal Gesetzgebung und prozessuale Wirklichkeit in den europäischen Rechtstraditionen| », Elektronisches Publikationsportal der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschafte, ID : 10670/1.xnh4hd
The article discusses the lethal labour accident of Adolphe Dufer (17 May 1894) as a case study illustrating the complex phenomenon of juridification. Firstly, the accident itself, the subsequent administrative and criminal investigations and civil trial are being discussed. Secondly, these facts are situated within their (legal) historical context. Thirdly and finally, the distinct worlds of industry, administration and justice are interpret as so-called ‘semiautonomous social fields’. On the one hand, these social fields all have distinct characteristics, objectives and evolutions. On the other, they influence each other, catalysing and explaining some complex (legal) evolutions described as ‘juridification’.
