Title: Mediating Culture in Legal German Teaching Theoretical Reflections on a Culture-Oriented Approach
Abstract: [Abstract] Legal German teaching at the Faculty of Law of Turku focuses on the mediation of culture. For this purpose an interpretation model has been developed for systematically exploring the cultural dimensions of legal texts. To embed this cultural approach into legal studies, examples of cultural concepts within legal studies are presented. Legal scholars recognize the significant role of culture in understanding law within intercultural contexts. Moreover, interdisciplinary cooperation between legal and cultural studies is suggested. Concepts of culture within law are not extensively discussed here. Instead, the focus is on epistemological aspects to distinguish the link between the law and legal language learning.
