Resumen
Descripción
En este trabajo analizaré el fenómeno que C. Geertz ha denominado sensibilidad jurídica, en el contexto de la Mesopotamia paleobabilónica (ca. 2000-1600 a.C). Entiendo que la sensibilidad jurídica se asienta en evaluaciones sociales sobreentendidas, más allá de las diferencias de aprehensión entre el sector templario-palatino y la población dedicada a las tareas productivas.
El concepto ME, principio de orden, constatación de que existen reglas que simultáneamente son y deben ser obedecidas puede ser pensada como una de estas evaluaciones. La realeza tiene su ME y en el momento en que es, debe ejercer la justicia. Esta idea profunda temporalmente y extendida espacialmente, se pone en acto de maneras diversas a lo lardo del tiempo. Se analiza aquí la forma en se manifiesta durante el período paleobabilónico, en el que el elemento amorreo cobra mayor significación.
In this work I will analyze the phenomenon that C. Geertz has called legal sensibility in Mesopotamia during Old Babylonian Period. I believe that legal sensibility is based on social common evaluations, beyond the differences of apprehension between the templar-palatine sector and the population dedicated to the productive tasks. One of these social common evaluations is the concept ME, force of order, that establishes that there exist rules that, simultaneously, are and must be obeyed. The royalty has its own ME, and in the very moment it exists, it must exercice justice. This idea, temporarily deep and spatially extended, is acted in different fashion throughout time. I will analyze the ways it developes during Old Babylonian Period, when the amorrite element becomes very important.
