This book focuses on one of the main issues of our time in the Humanities and Social Sciences as it analyzes the impact of current global migrations on new forms of living together and the formation of identities and homes. Using a transdisciplinary and transcultural approach the contributions shed fresh light upon key concepts such as ‘hybrid-performative diaspora’, ‘transidentities’,‘ hospitality’, ‘belonging’, ‘emotion’, ‘body,’ and ‘desire’. Those concepts are discussed in the context of Cuban, US-American, Maghrebian, Moroccan, Spanish, Catalan, French, Turkish, Jewish, Argentinian, Indian, and Italian literatures, cultures and religions.
In recent years the concept and study of “civil society” has received a lot of attention from political scientists, economists, and sociologists, but less so from anthropologists. A ground-breaking ethnographic approach to civil society as it is formed in indigenous communities in Latin America, this volume explores the multiple potentialities of civil society’s growth and critically assesses the potential for sustained change. Much recent literature has focused on the remarkable gains made by civil society and the chapters in this volume reinforce this trend while also showing the complexity of civil society - that civil society can itself sometimes be uncivil. In doing so, these insightful contributions speak not only to Latin American area studies but also to the changing shape of global systems of political economy in general.
An ethnography examining how indigenous residents of crime-ridden, marginalized neighborhoods in Cochabamba, Bolivia, struggle to balance human rights with their need for safety and security.
Offers timely discussion by attorneys, government officials, policy analysts, and academics from the United States and Latin America of the responses of the state, civil society, and the international community to threats of violence and crime.
How should democracies balance the hopes and constraints of their societies with the architecture of their constitutions and institutions to secure freedom, promote citizenship, and foster prosperity? In The Construction of Democracy, leading scholars from seven different countries—and key decision makers from eight—come together to analyze the dimensions of democratic design and draw not only practical but feasible recommendations. Here citizens, politicians, and government officials offer valuable insight into the craft of politics with real examples of success and failures from some of the leading policy makers of our time—including the president of Portugal, former presidents of Br...

O presente trabalho – fruto da monografia de graduação em Direito de seu autor – teve como objetivo geral explorar o potencial da concepção significativa de ação a fim de sustentar dogmaticamente o reconhecimento da capacidade de ação da pessoa jurídica, de modo que ela possa ser responsabilizada por delitos realizados por ela própria, em um genuíno modelo de autorresponsabilidade penal. Corolários desse objetivo geral, quatro objetivos específicos foram igualmente perquiridos: (1) analisar sumariamente o estado da arte doutrinário, normativo e jurisprudencial no Brasil acerca do problema da capacidade de ação da pessoa jurídica; (2) tratar brevemente da pessoa jurídica e das teorias sobre sua natureza; (3) realizar uma distinção entre a empresa como atividade e a pessoa jurídica empresarial que a exerce; e (4) expor um quadro sinótico da evolução das principais concepções de ação na dogmática penal. Espera-se que o presente trabalho possa contribuir proficuamente para o debate na dogmática penal acerca da possibilidade de uma pessoa jurídica figurar no polo ativo da realização de delitos.
