"Despite the ever-growing interest in freedom of religion or belief, for over twenty years there has not been a comprehensive doctrinal analysis focusing exclusively on Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights and related jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights. This book fills this critical gap"--
It challenges the classic scholarly approach to ECHR Article 9 and related ECtHR jurisprudence, and offers an alternative interpretation.
Following 9/11, increased attention has been given to the place of religion in the public sphere. Across the world, Law and Religion has developed as a sub-discipline and scholars have grappled with the meaning and effect of legal texts upon religion. The questions they ask, however, cannot be answered by reference to Law alone therefore their work has increasingly drawn upon work from other disciplines. This Research Handbook assists by providing introductory but provocative essays from experts on a range of concepts, perspectives and theories from other disciplines, which can be used to further Law and Religion scholarship.
This incisive book delineates the development of Law and Religion as a sub-discipline, critically reflecting on the author’s own role in constructing the field. It develops a subversive social systems theory in order to take both law and religion seriously and to challenge them equally.
Featuring 75 of the world's most influential designers, this book presents the story of graphic design through the fascinating personal stories and significant works that have shaped the field. Arranged in chronological order, the book shows the development of design, from early innovators such as Edward McKnight Kauffer and Alexey Brodovitch to key figures of mid-century Swiss Design and corporate American branding. The book profiles masters of typography, such as Wim Crouwel and Neville Brody; visionary magazine designers, such as Leo Lionni and Cipe Pineles; designers who influenced the world of film, such as Saul Bass and Robert Brownjohn; and the creators of iconic poster work, such as Armin Hofmann, Rogério Duarte and Yusaku Kamekura. Combining insightful text and key visual examples, this is a dynamic and richly illustrated guide to the individuals whose vision has defined the world of graphic design.
John Cruger (ca. 1678-1744) was possibly an immigrant from England, Holland or Germany; he had relatives in England, recorded his family records in Dutch in a Dutch Bible printed in Holland, and since 1875 some researchers have claimed him to be a descendant of the Baron von Cruger of what came to be Germany. John Cruger married Maria Cuyler on 5 March 1702/1703 in New York City, and when he died, he was buried in the Old Dutch Church in New York City. Descendants and relatives lived in New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, South Carolina, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Washington, Oregon and elsewhere. Includes some progeny of John Cruger's relatives in England.
This book examines major conceptual challenges confronting freedom of religion or belief in contemporary settings. The volume brings together chapters by leading experts from law, religious studies, and international relations, who provide perspectives from both sides of the Atlantic. At a time when the polarization of ‘culture wars’ is aggravating tensions between secular and religious views about accommodating the conscientious claims of individuals and groups, and when the right to freedom of religion itself is facing misunderstanding and erosion, the work provides welcome clarity and depth. Some chapters adopt a primarily conceptual and historical approach; others analyze particular difficulties or conflicts that have emerged in European and American jurisdictions, along with concrete applications and recommendations for the future. The book will be a valuable resource for students, academics, and policy-makers with an interest in law, religion, and human rights.
