Challenges to Legal Theory
Challenges to Legal Theory offers the reader a fascinating journey through a variety of multi-disciplinary topics, ranging from law and literature, and law and religion, to legal philosophy and constitutional law. The collection reflects some of the challenges that the field of legal theory currently faces. It is compiled by a selection of international and Spanish scholars, whose essays are made available in English translation for the first time. The volume is based on a collection of essays, published in Spanish, in honour of Professor José Iturmendi Morales, of Complutense University, Madrid, and brings the rich scholarship of pre-eminent Spanish scholars of law and legal theory to an international audience.
Law and Literature
María José Falcón y Tella invites us on a fascinating journey through the world of law and literature, travelling through the different eras and exploring eternal and as such current issues such as justice, power, resistance, vengeance, rights, and duties. This is an unending conversation, which brings us back to Sophocles and Dickens, Cervantes and Kafka, Dostoyevsky and Melville, among many others. There are many ways to approach the concept of “Law and Literature”. In the classical manner, the author distinguishes three paths: the Law of Literature, involving a technical approach to the literary theme; Law as Literature, a hermeneutical and rhetorical approach to examining legal texts; and finally, Law in Literature, which is undoubtedly the most fertile and documented perspective (the fundamental part of the work focusses on this direction). This timely volume offers an introduction to this enormous field of study, which was born in the United States over a century ago and is currently taking root in the European continent.
Faules (vol. I)
«Es diu que va caure al riu Eufrates, des del cel, un ou d’unes dimensions sorprenents, que els peixos feren rodar fins a la ribera, sobre el qual s’assegueren uns coloms, i que, un cop covat, en sortí Venus…» Així comença un dels centenars de petits relats d’Higí, un autor llatí de qui amb prou feines coneixem la identitat, però que resulta d’una gran importància per als estudiosos de la mitologia antiga. Amb el propòsit de documentar tot aquest tramat meravellós i seductor d’històries, Higí deixà per a la posteritat un total de 277 faules, on trobem, no poques vegades, variants curioses o poc conegudes dels mites antics. Amb la incorporació del text d’Higí a la col·lecció, doncs, la Fundació Bernat Metge segueix avançant en el propòsit de posar a l’abast del públic alguns dels textos mitogràfics més destacats de l’Antiguitat, com ho són també els ja publicats de Pseudo-Apol·lodor o Ferecides. L’obra d’Higí ha estat editada en dos volums: en aquest primer, s’hi apleguen les primeres 86 faules, a més de l’habitual text introductori a l’obra i l’autor.
Territorio de la memoria: Arte y patrimonio en el sureste español
Estos estudios son una selección de aquellos presentados y discutidos en el I Congreso Nacional de Jóvenes Historiadores, reunión científica celebrada en Murcia en febrero de 2014. Allí, y bajo las premisas del debate y el intercambio del conocimiento, se plantearon estas visiones en torno a un territorio y una memoria, de la aguda necesidad que experimentan los pueblos de poseer una conciencia clara de su patrimonio histórico y cultural como arma fundamental para combatir toda clase de engaños, manipulaciones y tópicos, tan frecuentes en estos últimos tiempos. Este primer congreso tuvo como objetivo investigar aspectos diversos del patrimonio histórico artístico del le...
"We Are Now the True Spaniards"
This book is a radical reinterpretation of the process that led to Mexican independence in 1821—one that emphasizes Mexico's continuity with Spanish political culture. During its final decades under Spanish rule, New Spain was the most populous, richest, and most developed part of the worldwide Spanish Monarchy, and most novohispanos (people of New Spain) believed that their religious, social, economic, and political ties to the Monarchy made union preferable to separation. Neither the American nor the French Revolution convinced the novohispanos to sever ties with the Spanish Monarchy; nor did the Hidalgo Revolt of September 1810 and subsequent insurgencies cause Mexican independence. It was Napoleon's invasion of Spain in 1808 that led to the Hispanic Constitution of 1812. When the government in Spain rejected those new constituted arrangements, Mexico declared independence. The Mexican Constitution of 1824 affirms both the new state's independence and its continuance of Spanish political culture.
Desplazamientos de la tradición clásica en las culturas hispánicas
A pesar del uso eurocéntrico que se sigue haciendo del patrimonio cultural grecolatino, su herencia inmaterial ha logrado desplazarse hacia fuera de sus límites geográficos, como se pretende demostrar en el presente volumen. En Desplazamientos de la tradición clásica en las culturas hispánicas se replantean algunos conceptos relacionados con el bagaje artístico-literario que nos han dejado el clasicismo y sus posteriores evoluciones, desde la metáfora del viaje a la redefinición del canon. Los doce ensayos que aquí se presentan proponen una reflexión sobre la necesidad que el arte ha demostrado a lo largo de los siglos de ofrecer una interpretación nueva y una reescritura de la tradición, amoldándola a su actualidad, a su gusto, a su público. Los géneros que se estudian cruzan diferentes campos, de la prosa (Cabello Pino, Cerullo, Núñez Molina, Leroux, Gómez Sánchez-Ferrer), pasando por el teatro y el cine (Bracco, Vila Carneiro, L. Lapeña, Zoppi), hasta llegar a la poesía (Martín Durán, Alonso Valero, Campos López).
