SOBRE A OBRA Este livro trata do Juiz, visto por ele mesmo. É a face visível do Poder Judiciário, a que personifica a Justiça. Mostra quem é atualmente e o seu papel, como se chegou a este modelo e qual o melhor modelo para o próximo século. O juiz pode representar tanto a resistência contra a opressão quanto a própria opressão. Tanto pode ser a possibilidade de se buscar alguém neutro para dar a cada um o que é seu, quando há algum tipo de entrave ao exercício de um direito por parte do Estado ou de qualquer outro cidadão, quanto pode ser o responsável pela manutenção do "status quo". Muitos já se debruçaram sobre o papel do Judiciário. Filósofos, juristas, sociólogo...
Ser juiz é mergulhar na vida das pessoas e tentar não se molhar. O juiz não pode se envolver emocionalmente e julgar com o coração e não com a razão, mas há casos que desafiam nossa humanidade. Sempre gostei demais de escrever, principalmente contos e meus contos sempre foram inspirados nas coisas que vivi e senti. Esse livro traz textos que fui escrevendo ao longo dos anos muitas vezes com o coração sangrando depois de ter chegado em casa, tirado a toga e me permitido chorar e elaborar coisas que vivenciei no julgamento de algum processo. Tem muito de ficção nessas páginas, não são relatos fidedignos e nem poderiam ser. As histórias são minhas, mas a inspiração em parte veio daquela fresta que as pessoas abrem das suas vidas para o juiz do seu processo. Convido você a ler, se deixar envolver, e depois me contar: e se fosse você?
Fiction. Latino/Latina Studies. Translated from the Portuguese by Paloma Martinez-Cruz. The story of a young Afro-Brazilian woman's journey from the land of her enslaved ancestors to the emptiness of urban life. However, the generations of creativity, violence and family cannot be so easily left behind as Ponci is heir to a mysterious psychic gift from her grandfather. Does this gift have the power to bring Poncia back from the emotional vacuum and absolute solitude that has overtaken her in the city? Do the elemental forces of earth, air, fire and water mean anything in the barren urban landscape? A mystical story of family, dreams and hope by the most talented chronicler of Afro-Brazilian life writing today.
Arbitrating cross-border business disputes has been common practice in Italy since centuries. It is no wonder, then, that Italian arbitration law and jurisprudence are ample and sophisticated. Italian courts have already rendered thousands of judgments addressing complex problems hidden in the regulation of arbitration. Italian jurists have been among the outstanding members of the international arbitration community, starting from when back in 1958, Professor Eugenio Minoli was among the promoters of the New York Convention. Being Italy the third-largest economy in the European Union and the eighth-largest economy by nominal GDP in the world, it also comes as no surprise that Italian compan...
This is the first title from the seminal series by Juxtapoz, established in 1994 to document an exploding art movement emanating on the West Coast of the USA. In ILLUSTRATION artists such as MODE 2, Grotesk, KozynDan, Mike Giant, James Jean, Evan HEcox, Alex Pardee and Morning Breath are profiled, before letting their work do the talking.
"Juxtapoz Black and White spotlights 28 contemporary artists from David Shrigley to Shantell Martin, Geoff McFetridge to Katy Ann Gilmore, who strip their work down to basic, often breathtaking black and white. The immutable black line is primal and direct, originating in prehistoric cave drawings first rendered in charcoal eons ago. Within the pages of Juxtapoz Black & White, an impressive list of artists with fascinating results affirm the role monochromatic treatments play in their practice. Paintings and drawings bolster this dialogue in lavishly presented, oversize format. More fascinating contributors such as Cleon Peterson, Saner, Matt Leines, Brendan Monroe, Mrzyk & Moriceau, Carl Krull, Nicomi Nix Turner and many more join the armament of black and white offerings"--Publisher's description.
Teary, big-eyed orphans and a multitude of trashy knockoffs epitomized American kitsch art as they clogged thrift stores for decades. When Adam Parfrey tracked down Walter Keane—the credited artist of the weepy waifs, for a San Diego Reader cover story in 1992—he discovered some shocking facts. Decades of lawsuits and countersuits revealed the reality that Keane was more of a con man than an artist, and that he forced his wife Margaret to sign his name to her own paintings. As a result, those weepy waifs may not have been as capricious an invention as they seemed. Parfrey's story was reprinted in Juxtapoz magazine and inspired a Margaret Keane exhibition at the Laguna Art Museum. And now...
