Voluntary Prosecution in its Ancient Greek Context

Descrizione del progetto

Comprendere l’azione penale volontaria nell’antica Grecia

Nelle antiche città-stato greche, dei volontari si assumevano la responsabilità di perseguire i crimini contro la comunità, una pratica nota come azione penale volontaria (VP, voluntary prosecution). Questo sistema non era limitato all’Atene classica o alle società democratiche, ma è stato osservato anche in tempi e luoghi diversi. Sostenuto dalle Azioni Marie Skłodowska-Curie (MSCA), il progetto Prosec.co presenta una storia della VP nell’antica Grecia. Con un approccio multidisciplinare, analizza fonti letterarie ed epigrafiche che vanno dal VI al II secolo a.C.. Crea un database online di leggi e decreti relativi alla VP, indaga sulle identità e sulle motivazioni dei procuratori volontari e analizza le componenti emotive della VP e il suo impatto sugli atteggiamenti della società e sugli assetti istituzionali.

Obiettivo

In the ancient Greek poleis, the prosecution of crimes against the community was largely entrusted to volunteers. Voluntary prosecution (VP) was therefore one of the key elements of the administration of justice in these societies. It is also an institution that, despite being often linked to classical Athens and to democratic ideology, is found in different places, periods, and political regimes. By combining the analysis of literary and epigraphic sources (6th2nd cent. BC) with a cutting-edge multidisciplinary approach at the intersection of sociology, legal theory, and theory of emotion, this project aims to provide the first comprehensive history of VP in ancient Greeceof its ideological tenets, its institutional framework, and the normative expectations of the community around it, both in and, especially, outside of Athens. I will achieve this aim through three objectives: a) mapping the use of VP in ancient Greece by producing an online database of laws and decrees related to VP, with visualisation of the material through an interactive online atlas; b) drawing a sketch of the different identities and possible motives of volunteer prosecutors, and of how their interactions with VP, with one another, and with the community both shaped and was shaped by a shared internalised set of values and standards of behaviour that was fully institutionalised; c) analysing the emotional components of VP, and how they had an impact on societal attitudes and institutional arrangements related to VP. Prosec.co will place VP in the wider context of voluntarism in the ancient Greek world, and take into account the different perspectives of the individuals that were involved with it, from wealthy citizens to foreigners, down to the poor, women, and enslaved individuals. This will advance not only the scientific debate around ancient Greek society, culture, and institutional design, but also contemporary discourse on private initiative, voluntarism, and civic engagement.
