The Basque Medieval City
"An analysis of medieval law in the Basque Country"--
The Basque Medieval City
In order to understand the present, we must first look to the past. The law formed in the medieval territories of Vasconia (the Basque Country) advanced the political concepts that are active in the Basque Country today; such as the fuero, understood as a pact between those in power and the people, and the acquisition of rights through the concept of vecindad, or residence. The Basque Medieval City: The Laws of Estella and San Sebastian in the Twelfth Century looks to the eleventh-century laws of Vasconia, specifically the Code of Laws of Estella, one of the oldest known legal documents and a critical reference for a group of municipal charters during the medieval era, among them that of San Sebastian. This is relevant, as the Code of Laws of Estella reflects a distinctly democratic political system, recognizing not only women's rights, but also the rights of children and religious minorities. By examining the juridical, political, and social aspects of the fueros of Estella and San Sebastian, the contributors to this book paint a picture of an era that establishes a fuller understanding of the origins of the Basque political system.
Critical Engagement
This book is an original case study of how memory has driven and challenged the Irish republican transition from armed conflict to constitutional politics that culminated in the acceptance of policing in the Northern Ireland state.
The Right to be Forgotten
Exploring the evolution of the right to be forgotten, its challenges, and its impact on privacy, reputation, and online expression, this book lays out the current state of the law on the right to be forgotten in Canada and in the international context while addressing the broader theoretical tensions at its core. The essays contemplate questions such as: How does the right to be forgotten fit into existing legal frameworks? How can Canadian courts and policy-makers reconcile rights to privacy and rights to access publicly available information? Should search engines be regulated purely as commercial actors? What is the right’s impact on free speech and freedom of the press? Together, these...
The Transition will be Televised
Dieses Werk untersucht die Spuren, die der Friedenprozess mit der Guerrilla FARC-EP in der kolumbianischen Fernsehfiktion hinterlassen hat. Dazu ergründet es das Phänomen kolumbianischer Versöhnungstelenovelas, welche untrennbar mit dem nationalen Transitional Justice Prozess verknüpft sind. Gestützt auf Analysen der Telenovelas und Expert:innen-Interviews wird das Versöhnungspotential der Telenovelas beleuchtet und werden Chancen und Risiken ausgelotet, die aus der Nutzung von massenmediierten Formaten der Popkultur in Friedensprozessen erwachsen. Die Telenovelas, die vorschnell als seichte Unterhaltung abgetan werden könnten, stellen sich als integraler Bestandteil des kolumbianischen Transitional Justice Strategie heraus.
Kansallisesta Ylirajaiseen
Tradition and literature are not held back by borders. Transnationality is, for example, geographic, symbolic, or linguistic movement and action. Different kinds of cultural transitions and migrant traditions are connected with transnationality. Studying the multilingualism of literary texts or diverse cultural identities, transnationality is a prolific angle. In the 102nd Yearbook of the Kalevala Society Foundation, the topics cover for example migration and return migration, material things crossing borders, and places of music culture. At a more theoretical level we are asking how studying transnationality enriches the disciplines with roots in the national sciences.
