The Anthropocene forces society to rethink the civil liability. Since it has been demonstrated that human activity to have a significant impact on the planet, and it has been responsible for the ever more destructive and frequently fires, droughts and heatwaves, the parties should no longer be exempted from their contractual obligations or duties due to alleged this extreme events. It is necessary a reform of civil liability, that forces contracting parties to face an increased risk at the individual level: a reform remarkably like the one that during the Modern Era allowed to contrast another anthropic risk, the fires. This parallelism has not yet been analysed by historiography: the project LOWRISK aims to fill this historiographic gap, demonstrating that during 18th and early 19th centuries the reform of civil liability, resulting in a progressive reduction of the circumstances that allowed considering a fire as a fortuitous case, played a determining role in the progressive reduction of fire risk. In this way, the action will allowed to show to society the important role that the civil liability reform can have in reducing the anthropogenic risks, and to highlight that historical memory can contribute to the social perception of risk, making society less vulnerable to hazards. To achieve its goals, LOWRISK will carry out an interdisciplinary and comparative research that will enclose the academic discourses of History and Law, using the categories and methodology of the Global History of Law. The research will be based on the historical judicial records produced by different judicial institutions, operating in European and American Spanish and Portuguese territories. LOWRISK will equip the fellow with enhanced knowledge in Legal History and new skills in the synchronic and diachronic comparison of the processes of normative translation thought legal practices and institutions between different cultural contexts, and it will open new career prospects in Europe.
