Poder constituyente a debate: perspectivas desde América Latina
Poder constituyente a debate: perspectivas desde América Latina presenta diferentes perspectivas que ilustran diversos entendimientos sobre la manera como los procesos de cambio constitucional se construyen a partir de interacciones entre normas jurídicas, instituciones estatales, ideas jurídicas y políticas, procesos socio-económicos y actores sociales. Cada uno de los ensayos reunidos en estas páginas estructura su análisis desde perspectivas teóricas distintas: algunos ponen un mayor énfasis en los procesos políticos que explican los cambios constitucionales, otros se concentran en la forma como los actores institucionales juegan con ideas como la del poder constituyente y algun...
Metodologías de investigación jurídica : experiencias y desafíos del oficio de investigar en derecho
A pesar de que existen numerosas publicaciones que estudian la metodología en el campo jurídico, son muchos más los textos de derecho que abordan la discusión directa de los contenidos. Ante el evidente predominio bibliográfico del qué sobre el cómo, varios profesores y profesoras de la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de los Andes decidieron escribir Metodologías de investigación jurídica para preguntarse cómo realizan, aprenden y reflexionan acerca de las investigaciones que componen sus propias agendas académicas, incluyendo las dimensiones teóricas, prácticas y éticas allí presentes. Así, esta obra se ubica en el universo de las formas metodológicas que suelen acom...
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
The Mosquito Bite Author
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.
The Oxford Handbook of Constitutional Law in Latin America
Constitutional law in Latin America embodies a mosaic of national histories, political experiments, and institutional transitions. No matter how distinctive these histories and transitions might be, there are still commonalities that transcend the mere geographical contiguity of these countries. This Handbook depicts the constitutional landscape of Latin America by shedding light on its most important differences and affinities, qualities and drawbacks, and by assessing its overall standing in the global enterprise of democratic constitutionalism. It engages with substantive and methodological conundrums of comparative constitutional law in the region, drawing meaningful comparisons between ...
